@enastrcs / alina starkov.
Jowan frowned. “It’s not like I try to make everything go arse-up backwards. I try to do the right thing! It just never works the way I want it to.” At least Alina hadn’t laughed at him for his most recent catastrophe. “—you don’t have to stay and help me clean this up.”
“ I know, believe me. ” Alina smiles. In the time she’s known him, Jowan has only had the best of intentions. It’s endearing -- even sweet. She shakes her head and starts cleaning up around her. “ I want to help. ”

“Well if that’s the case, I don’t have to continue the story, I can just talk about something else.”
“ Well, that’s up to you, I guess. But personally I’d like to know how the story ends. ”

His face still smarts at the memory but it only makes his eyes brighter. It was in that moment he had understood something many others had failed to see or perhaps had refused to. 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐓𝐎 𝐋𝐄𝐀𝐃. “It would certainly lead to some interesting rumours.” He snorts. “Although i must say , i think those waiting for us rather enjoyed seeing you almost break my nose. I suppose charm isn’t everything.” 𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐅 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐁𝐄 , 𝐈𝐅 𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐀 𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓. He knows she will make a good queen , the kind of queen that Ravka needs.
“I try to be. Loathe as i might be to admit it , the Darkling wasn’t wrong when he declared my father unfit to rule , and Vasily had very little interest in it either until recently.” Which was why his actions now were so suspicious. “I know that….i willl strive to do better and with you at my side…Ravka stands a far better chance than it does if the Darkling were to rule.” 𝐍𝐈𝐊𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐈 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐍 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐒 ; “if you’re certain this is what you want Alina , then we must make an announcement , and the sooner the better.”
She laughs a little. “ It probably would, based on the reactions we got last time. ” She sort of remembers the looks on peoples’ faces in the crowd after her fist connected with the prince’s nose. “ Don’t worry, I’ll try to resist any violent urges, for your nose’s sake. ” Her smile warms. She hopes it will always be like this between them. Easy. Light. She’s got a lifetime to find out, now.
Alina reaches for Nikolai’s hand. She’s not always been good at comfort, but she tries. It surprises her that he seems to have more faith in her as a leader than he does in himself. So she tries. “ With us, together, ” she says, almost like a promise. That is what Ravka needs. What the Grisha need. A king who cares for his people, and a queen who cares for Grisha. She blushes a little beneath his grin, then lets out a small groan at the mention of an announcement. “ Must we? We can’t wait maybe... a week? Until summer? ” She knows he’s right, of course. The announcement of their engagement would further solidify Nikolai’s chance at obtaining the throne, and weaken Vasily’s claim, no matter how interested he appears to be.

“Want to hear the rest? If you’re not interested, I can stop.”

“ No, no! Keep talking! I like hearing your voice. ”

iraescible :: nikolai ( @iraescible )
HIS HESITATION DIDN’T LAST LONG. while there was a part of him that wanted to insist on going simply out of respect for her, there was also a greater part of him that was pleased that she seemed to want him to stay almost as much as he wanted to stay as well. he saw no reason to continue to attempt to hide his developing feelings; so after staring at her for a minute, searching for any doubt and thankfully finding none, he put his stuff back down and walked over to her.
“relax alina.” his tone was quiet, more comforting than teasing; although the right side of his mouth did lift in a half smile. “there’s no right or wrong answer to this, i will never add any pressure to do more than you are comfortable with.” the last thing he would ever do was force alina into anything she didn’t also want. “i just wanted to be sure that you were okay with me staying and now that i know, WHY DON’T WE GET SETTLED AGAIN HMM?”
she did relax when nikolai returned to where she stood, though she did roll her eyes just a little when he told her to relax. “ i know, ” alina replied with a nod. he had been honestly wonderful to her as they explored both their engagement and their growing feelings for one another. nikolai was kind and thoughtful when it came to their relationship, so his reassurances didn’t surprise her.
“ i don’t want you to feel pressured either, nikolai, ” she continued. boldly, she reached for his hand -- not quite holding it, but linking their fingers together. “ but you are always welcome to stay. as long as you want. i’d love it if you did. ”

affcgato :: brekker
‘ I’m free at 6:30, ’ Kaz says impassively. ‘ dinner is fine. I’ll probably have more notes to add to that when I’m done with my lap this afternoon. ’the last thing he wanted to do was have this class conflict with the thesis he needed to submit later in the semester. an aggressive start would prevent that & put the two of them well ahead of the others. ‘ if we can have this done to spec with their syllabus, I calculate we’ll only need to be present for the final to pass with the highest marks. that would be… highly preferred. ’
“ 6:30 it is, ” alina replies with a nod and hands the syllabus back to kaz so he can add notes as he pleased. as much as she appreciates his no-nonsense approach to this project, she has a feeling he won’t be much for conversation over dinner. it’s fine -- they’re lab partners, they don’t have to be friends. “ agreed. i’ve got enough on my plate this semester as it is. glad you seem to have an eye for detail. this’ll be a breeze for us. ”

livingprophecy :: fedyor
𝐀𝐆𝐀𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 his head, and he wishes he could take this pain and responsibility away from her; alina is still just a girl in the midst of all this. she shouldn’t have to shoulder the responsibility and yet she is. fedyor’s voice is gentle, heart breaking for her. “if you think about all the possibilities, you will drive yourself mad. there is only moving forward.” perhaps he will see ivan again. but there are other lives at stake.
“𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐎 𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐆, i’ve been only a soldier.” fedyor admits then, sad smile on his face. (no, less than a soldier, says the voice in his head — A PAWN). the darkling never cared about the people of ravka: alina did. “that’s what makes you different, moi soverenyi. that’s why we’ll win.”
fedyor is far too generous. alina can only hope ivan survives, for his sake. it may be too much to hope ivan will leave the darkling’s side, but maybe... at least fedyor can see him again. alive. alina nods at his response and tries to push away her worries. the what-ifs.
moi soverenyi. the title settles on her shoulders like a yoke of some sort. the reality of what the grisha following her expect of her. can she truly be a leader? not just the one they deserve, but one at all?
alina looks gratefully up at fedyor. “ your support means everything to me, fedyor.i know i’m going to need all the help i can get, whatever comes next. what about you? what do you need? or the grisha with you? ”

storytelers :: nikolai
For as long as he can, he keeps his eyes on her retreating figure, the sight of her making everything just a little bit right in this broken world. Twigs crunch near, the hush of voices going silent as they approach their target. A lone prince, blessed with smarts, and various traps.
❝ What has many keys but can’t open the door? ❞
The salt air stung as he approached, the cut on his lip red and bloody, the gash above his left eyebrow properly giving him the appearance of a pirate. There is a clamour when he is recognized, releases gasps and whoops reaching his ears. ❝ So little faith, did you all doubt me? ❞
The cheer went up and Alina pushed her way through the crowd. Let it be him, she pled internally. Let it be him. She heard his voice over the crowd -- his typical confident wit -- and shouldered past the final couple of people until she saw Nikolai standing there. Without hesitation, Alina closed the distance between them and threw her arms around his shoulders.
“ Thank the Saints, ” she murmured, tucking her face into the crook of his neck. Breathing him in. “ You made it. ”

Remy’s body arches forward, the slight lingering touch of Alina’s fingers grazing the scars on his back is unexpected, “Yeah-they’re still there,” his body eases, readjusting to the sensation of her once again, “Unfortunately.”
@solsnkta liked for a starter!
“ Oh, sorry... ” Quickly, she removes her hand from his back, embarrassed. She hadn’t been thinking, just idly tracing lines and circles along his back and shoulders as they sat together. Enjoying being with him once again. It’s not that she’d forgotten the scars were there, but only underestimated how sensitive he still was to her touching them, even by accident. “ I didn’t -- I wasn’t looking for them. I’m sorry. Did I hurt you? ”
