    Summary

    “I can’t run from what I am, Mal, from what I’m becoming. I can’t bring the Alina you knew back, but I can set you free.”

    “You can’t…you can’t choose him.”

    “There isn’t any choice to make. This is what is meant to be.”

    …The Darkling stood waiting, his shadow guard hovering and shifting around him…”We are alike,” he said, “as no one else is, as no one else will ever be."

    --

    A Darklina fic set post-Siege and Storm where Alina reluctantly makes a choice to align with the Darkling to rule and rebuild Ravka together.
