Tolya becomes friends with Mal. Then, Tolya becomes friends with Alina. And he thinks, it's too bad that they don't know each other.

Happy Birthday, Alina Starkov by hopelessopus

Alina is being dragged out to the pub for her birthday, when all she wants to do is study for her upcoming exams. To make matters worse, her long time nemesis is there, too.

But Alina is nothing if not quick witted. Soon she has a plan not only to leave as soon as possible, but to take down Malyen Oretsev along the way.

However, she quickly learns that when you share a birthday with your lifelong rival — who's unfortunately just as smart as you are — you just might not get to have your cake and eat it, too.

Murder, She Wrote by simplifiedemotions

Alina Starkov took Maleyn Oretsev’s life. This is meant in both a figurative and quite literal sense.

Flash forward ten years after the Darkling is defeated. Featuring: An anniversary at the palace. Nikolai is being Nikolai. Zoya is scowling. Genya is planning events, while David barely notices that any of them have come to visit (though he takes the time to gaze at Genya like he's just discovered the moon).

Mal and Alina look on with equal expressions of fondness.

All is well. That is, until they're taken hostage.

vows we could keep by zoya_the_dragon

“Relax,” says Nikolai calmly, using the tone he’d so often employed to keep the team in line during their college soccer days. “It’s Alina, if you stood up at the altar and just stared at her for two minutes she’d still want to marry you.”

“But it’s Alina; I want it to be perfect,” he says simply, before sighing in exasperation. “The best I’ve come up with so far is ‘I love you’ and…”

Across the room, nose in a book, Tolya snorts. “Mal, it’s you, she’s not expecting poetry.”

Modern AU vaguely inspired by the vows in the Four Weddings and a Funeral sequel. When they have to write their wedding vows both Mal and Alina think back to when they first met and the moment they knew they belonged together.

A Soulmate's Mark by malyen0retsev

But truly. What on earth was Alina meant to do with a word as non-specific as "Hi". Really. What was she meant to do with "Hi". How many times a day did you hear that word?! How many times a day did a complete stranger say "Hi" to you?! It was the stupidest word imaginable, and it went from being a word which Alina found endearing to a word she wished she could carve right out of her arm.

AU where your soulmate's first word to you is inked into your skin...

over the weekend (we could turn the world to gold) by stardustandhome

Mal's been hiding something since the night of Nikolai's party, and so Alina takes him to Os Alta, determined to figure out what it is. It turns out she's missing more than she thought.

Or, a Love, Rosie-inspired Malina AU, except instead of decades, it all wraps up in a couple of weeks

Good Trouble by stormverine

Sometimes crossing paths takes a little pain.

It was just another night out without her long-term boyfriend for Alina Starkov. Dancing the night away, she pays no attention to Malyen Oretsev, whose nickname is without a doubt 'life of the party'. All it takes for the evening to take a turn are a few drinks and Alina fighting her boyfriend's other girlfriend... Zoya Nazyalensky. Malyen is the girl coming between the two to keep them from breaking teeth.

Crazy how suddenly heartbreak comes knocking at your door... And so does fate.

In which Mal and Alina end up sitting in a bathroom at a party, discussing their mutual misery.

in the eye of the storm by myiaruun

a year post the death of aleksander morozova and the supposed death of alina starkov, a bedraggled mal and a haunted, slowly healing alina flee from ravka due to the ruination of keramzin, desperate to be free of their pasts, but end up stuck in the frigid wetness of the shu han mountains, and spend their nights curled together under the guise that they're still friends. it takes finally reaching a warm bed in a foreign, tiny village to act on what they've both known for practically eons- that there's something more.
