Alina doesn't listen to Baghra about what she says about The Darkling. The love the two has for each other is not as strong as the destruction of the Shadow Fold. But when the Darkling finally breaks the truth to her, will she still care for him like she does now or will she regret everything that they had together?

Alina's power is not her own. The Darkling still controls her, yet she finds a way to escape. Worse, Mal has turned on her, so now she is running from two of the most talented men in Ravka. She heads out alone, but Zoya has other plans...

A different take on the end of Chapter 21, if Alina had been allowed in Mal's cell.

ONE-SHOT. Mal shows up at the palace and is wandering around when he bumps into Genya. She leads him to Alina, who's in the middle of a lesson with Baghra. Mal watches and learns somethings about himself and Alina. Just something that popped into my head

Short one-shot about Genya's feelings about her new kefta, and new status. Takes place during the scene where Alina sees her for the last time. Alina/Genya friendship and a bit of David/Genya romance.

AU. What if Alina had never believed Baghra? What if she had never run off and found Mal? What happens when trust is tested time and time again. Can you forgive those who break such a sacred bond, could such a betrayal ever be justified? Mostly Darklina, with hints of Malina here and there.

Summary: "It was a nightmare... again. But Alina Starkov is not alone. She knows the way to him."/A moment of bonding between Alina and Mal, when they were nothing more than a pair of orphaned children at Keramzin. Written in 3rd person POV, in the style of S&B's "Before" and "After." One-shot, complete. Please R&R!
