an angsty 50 for darklina, pretty please?

50. Beyond the Veil

She hears him for the first time at dusk at the autumn equinox, the very moment when the days tip over into darkness, rushing toward the domain of the Starless Saint, Ravka's endless cold winter nights and heavy snowfalls. She's put the chickens out to their coop, and she's bending down to make sure the latch on the cage is secure -- there have been too many foxes recently -- when the voice comes. She thinks it's just the wind. And then she doesn't.

Alina.

She drops the bag of feed and straightens up, whirling around, her heart pounding in both terror and-- well, there's no other word for it, hope. "Aleksander?" she says, looking at the empty meadow, the line of twilit trees that border the farm. "Aleksander, is that -- is that you?"

He came to her before, after all, regardless of physical distance or emotional estrangement -- their secret meetings in the dark of his old chambers, now hers, in the heart of the Little Palace. Death is different, but perhaps for the most powerful Grisha who has ever lived, not eternal. Alina wipes her hands on her apron, waiting. Speak to me, she wants to say. Tell me that you're there. That you're safe.

Alina, the wind sighs again. It does sound like him, or maybe that is only her wishful thinking. You left me no choice, she wants to shout at him. I would have done anything -- anything -- to save you, but you forced my hand. She can't regret that the Fold is gone and Nikolai has become king, that Ravka has a chance to make amends for what it has gone through, but Alina remains profoundly unsettled about her own part in it. She knows that the man who kissed her so tenderly was also the tyrant who would have unloosed the volcra on every one of Ravka's enemies, real or imagined. You cannot reckon with the sum of Aleksander Morozova's life and leave out the poison and the destruction and the hatred, as well as the idealism and fervor and heroism. I had to kill you. I had to.

And so, here she is. On the farm with Mal, her Sun Summoner powers relinquished, the wider world believing her to be dead, the future that she always said she didn't want. How has this happened to me? Alina tries to be kind to her younger, traumatized self, the girl forced into a war she didn't want and didn't understand, the burden that was heaped on her shoulders far before her time, and which would have buckled anyone twice her age. All the hungry eyes, the desperate hands, the plaintive calls. Sankta Alina, Sankta Alina, help us, help us. It was never something that one barely-grown girl should be asked to bear. No wonder Alina cracked. No wonder she fled, back to the idea of the one place she had always felt -- however wrongly -- safe.

The farm is... fine. As farms go. Mal is still Mal, sometimes. But you can't go back. You cannot pick up the threads of an old life as if nothing has changed. Alina's hands curl and ache in longing for her vanished power, the ability to matter -- she threw it out with the rest, too frightened to understand what it meant. But Aleksander knew. Aleksander tried to tell her, to warn her, even in his clumsy and damaged way. There is no one else in the world like us, Alina.

Her head starts up; she isn't sure if that came from her memories, or if the ghost of him -- or whatever is here, haunting her -- said it instead. She peers at the shadows in the fields. Is that peculiarly man-shaped thing -- is that him? Or just another of the strange creatures that gather by twilight, and should not be looked at too closely?

"Aleksander?" she says aloud, into the stillness. "Aleksander, please, are you there?"

She would give anything to hear him answer. Anything at all.

There is only silence. The bloated red sun disappears behind the horizon. The wind blows cold, and Alina Starkov -- no more, no less -- feels more profoundly alone than she has been in her entire life. And with that comes the simplest and most difficult of realizations.

She has made the wrong choice. Her time is not done. She needs to go back. She needs to find what is hers. Her power and her dark prince alike, and make it better than it was before. Is that not the entire premise of history, the arc of the universe? They are not simply doomed to a repeat of the disaster that came before, mindlessly following the same dark path to the same shattering end. They can make it right, and raw, and real. Aleksander Morozova may yet achieve his dearest dream after all, theirs. Alina only needs to be brave enough to face it, and, she realizes, this time, she is ready.

You and I are not done, she tells the shade of the Darkling, wherever and whatever he might now be. I'm coming to find you.

@grishatober 2020 DAY 04: Canon Ships - HELNIK (Little note: In my headcanons, the Queen’s Garden is a huge park in Ravka Nikolai built in honor to his wife. Zoya, of course.) Can also find on Ao3 here

LITTLE RUBY BIRD  A few things in the world brought a wonderful sense of peace and calm like sitting in the Queen's Garden, near to the lake shore. Three large towels laid on the grass. Nina was picking her third waffle from the wicker basket next to her, a satisfied smile on her lips. She let her little Aenya, who was sitting on her lap, take a bite, kissing her plump cheek and cleaning the syrup on her mouth with a napkin. Some crumbles fell on the red gown of her dress, but Nina didn’t mind it and bit the waffle with a delighted expression on her face. Djel, what an enchanting vision... Matthias was lying on his side, his chin rested on his hand. He was totally unable to look away, he could literally spend hours staring at his beloved wife. It didn't matter what she was doing or what she was wearing. She was always the most stunning, beautiful, amazing woman on earth to him. And when Aenya's incredible cuteness was added to the entire portrait, well, his heart started to melt and rebuild and melt again thousand time. On the towels, Kuwei and Wylan were enjoying some waffles too, while Inej and Jesper were playing with Trass and Kaz was reading a book, occasionally raising his glance to admire the young Suli's smile. Yes, it was a beautiful day, the Fjerdan thought, the ideal day to spend with their family and... to take the occasion to venerate his wife with a present he bought a week before. Matthias exchanged a quick glance with each of their friends, then, he slowly put out of his pocket a little, oval box. He smiled, turning his head to Nina, he couldn't wait to call her and see her surprised reaction... and then... everything happened in the matter of a few seconds. Trassel ran to him, barking happily, his fangs caught the little box, taking it away from the young man's hand. “No! Trass, no, come back here!” Nina widened her green eyes, visibly confused, as her husband and their friends suddenly started to chase the large, white wolf, yelling him to stop. “Trass!” The animal turned around, folding his front legs, a playful growl from his throat. Inej reached him and pretended to hug him but, when she tried to move her hand towards his mouth, Trassel freed himself from her grip with a jump, making her fall on the grass. Completely deaf to Kaz's curses and insults, Trass approached Wylan, letting his fingers go close to the new toy into his mouth, then, he made him fall too, running between his legs. “Trass, stop!” Matthias didn't feel brave enough to pay attention to the reactions of people around them, he just wanted to lay down and cry. It was since he bought Nina that present he couldn't wait to give it to her and now he risked to see it ruined or lost. He saw Kuwei running stealthily behind a tree, so he and Jesper started to distract the wolf with weird movements and silly calls. “Hey, Trassie! We're here! We're going to throw you the toy!” “No take, only throw, right, Trassie?” Trassel made a couple of festive jumps, clearly appreciating all those attentions, but a terrified thrill ran down Matthias' back when the animal started to shake his head, growling. “He's going to damage the present!” the Fjerdan thought, desperation growing into his chest. Kuwei slowly came out from his hiding place, behind Trass. Before the creature could realise it, the young scientist grabbed him, his arms around the wolf's waist. Matthias and Jesper immediately went to help him and, finally, the blonde giant was able to take the box from Trassel's mouth. The animal freed himself again, barking and looking at his human mate, filled with expectations. “No, Trass. I won't throw this” the young man said. He felt a bit guilty and saddened, thinking he would have disappointed his beloved wolf, but, luckily, Inej reached them with a stick in her hand. “Hey, Trass, look at this!” With everyone's huge relief, Trassel's attention went to the new toy. Inej threw the stick and he quickly ran after it, catching it in mid air and shaking his head, growling. “Thank you guys...” Matthias sighed. “Luckily, the box seems to be in good conditions... just a bit wet...” He walked to the lake shore, immersed the little box into the water, cleaning it, and, when he walked back to the towels, Nina was still laughing, her full cheeks bright red, holding Aenya close to her soft chest. How beautiful she was... “Saints!” she said, trying to regularize her breath. “It has been one of the most memorable scenes ever!” “Glad you enjoyed it,” Kaz grunted, sitting down. “It wasn't the same for us.” “Hush, Mr Grumpy” Inej whispered him softly, hugging him from behind and resting her head against his shoulder. Matthias sat next to his wife, a timid smile on his face: “I'm sorry, love... I... I wanted to give you this, but...” “A present for me?” Her beautiful smile widened: “Look, Aeny, papa has a surprise for mama! Guys, did you know it?” “We actually helped him to choose it” Jesper laughed. “Well, now I understand why you have acted so weird since this morning...” She let Wylan take Aenya in his arms, then, she took the little box Matthias was handing her and she opened it. Her jaw dropped and she let a delighted gasp out: into the box, there was a beautiful necklace, with a bird shaped ruby pendant. “I love it” she whispered, blessing her husband with the brightest of her smiles. She exposed her neck, keeping her hair up. Matthias tried to tie the necklace, but his huge hands were trembling and... Djel, how was he supposed to coordinate his movements, when she was looking at him in that way... “My...  my fingers are too big...” he murmured, blushing. “I cannot...” “Wait, I'll help you.” Kuwei laughed, kneeling behind Nina and rapidly fixing the problem. Matthias opened his mouth to thank him again, when the young woman wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his. His thought became fog, as he held her closer, his hands rubbing her back and her soft hips. “I love you” she whispered. “I love you so much. Thank you for the present, it's beautiful.” The Fjerdan tried to reply something, when Trassel walked onto the towels, pressing his head against his human friend's arm. He still had the stick Inej threw him into his mouth and he looked Matthias with playful eyes. Everyone let a giggle out. “Okay, Trass, okay,” the giant said, smiling. “No take. Only throw.”

rising

what’s the best ship? canon or otherwise.

kanej, hands down. i would die for them. i could, in fact, rant for hours about how much i love them.

and it's not only that they have a great relationship dynamic, but that they both have such great character arcs independent of that as well. their trauma is so raw and real, but you can see how they can overcome it and heal - both together and apart.

there's also the fact that inej refuses to settle when so many books with this kind of relationship would force her to. they would force her into a position of "fixing" kaz and ignore her own trauma. kanej does not do that. inej tells him that she will have him without armor or not at all and that she will not waste her life trying to save him. and in the end, he buys her a ship and finds her parents and lets her go and do what she wants and heal.

they're just... so good.

that being said, i also adore wesper, helnik, and especially show!malina. genya x david is fantastic, the show made me love fedyor x ivan, zoyalai is great, and nina x hanne is -chef's kiss-

for non-canon ships gods i dunno. genya x alina is pretty cute. for non-romantic/platonic ships, i ship all the main characters as one big found family lmao.

#thank you for the ask!! #ships all the ships!! #i'm a multishipper so i usually am not too picky lmao #only ship i actively don't like is darklina #shipping #grishaverse #asked and answered #vrakali says
