I love Shadow and Bone so much because every man in this show is trying to be a cool badass but they can’t hide they are all simps for their partners.

Ok but I need to talk about this.
Maybe it's just because I'm coming from a lot of regency-to-turn of the century fandoms, but this little moment kinda means everything to me.
Ivan knows Alina. He spoke to her outside the carriage, there was an exchange. He was there in the general's tent, that's all established.
So they're all in the coach together and Ivan is being himself, not saying anything, looking out the window. They've been riding in silence. Because Fedyor can't just start chatting out of nowhere.
He and Alina haven't been introduced.
He's being polite! It's phenomenally rude to start having a conversation with someone who doesn't know your name. He already knows hers, she's a known entity, but she'd never met Fedyor before.
Ivan is being difficult and ignoring social mores because he doesn't care to talk to Alina. It's Fedyor who has to nudge him. Fedyor who has to remind him that this is a chance to be pleasant and social with the fucking sun summoner.
Then Ivan gives the absolute barest minimum, which is all Fedyor needs to start talking about keftas and the second army and philosophy.
Fedyor is a well-brought-up and polite young man and I will fight for him forever, thank you.

Siege and Storm- Chapter 11 -(Leigh Bardugo)
So the Darkling sent his second-in-command and some random dude in red to guard the newfound Sun Summoner? Wasn't he a part of Aleksander's inner circle like it seems in the show?
Let's see:
Shadow and Bone- Chapter 14
So his assignment was new. The only other time we see him, is during the carriage ride in chapter four:
That indicates some level of familiarity between the two. Non-verbal communication of this kind usually requires you to know what the other's thoughts on situation will be. Sure, you can glance at a total stranger and know you think the same, but it's much less common.
He's no rookie. He's either able to figure out the situation by himself, or he was taught what it looks like.
His reaction to Alina's denial is patience and reason. That makes him more thinker than mindless repeater.
Now it's starting to look like a pattern. Ivan and Fedyor have non-verbal communication as a part of their common language.
Oho!!!
Fedyor doesn't have an amplifier and it's a sensitive topic for him. Ivan's smug cunt about being daddy's favourite.
Ivan's threatening, while Fedyor's the one to think about socio-political impact.
Again, Fedya assumes the role of a teacher.
He's interested in Alina's life. Polite and friendly.
I love that if we put this together with his show!personality, it makes him into:
Alina's "How can KILLING save people?!" confrontation fits into it nicely.
This is SO FRUSTRATING!
Fedyor's interactions with Ivan are so vague, they could be interpreted as co-workers trained in the same place or professional couple able to separate work and private life! WHy?!
In crisis, Ivan's ordering Fedyor, not "Kaminsky". They're on first-name basis.
With them, or AMONG them?
To sum up what we've learnt- Alina figured out Fedyor's only good, but not important, because he doesn't have an amplifier and Ivan's the one calling shots.
Both is circumstantial evidence at best.
Ivan and Fedyor are friendly at least.

Ok, I’ve had a horrible, horrible thought.
We know that since David is dead (I’m not ok) Rule of Wolves is going to be somewhat different just based on that alone. We also know from Julian Kostov’s Instagram that the heartrender husbands are still alive. What if in place of David’s death in Rule of Wolves, Ivan or Fedyor die instead? How would the other handle it? Probably won’t happen but I manage to find ways to make myself heartbroken anyways.

Ivan reached inside his collar and removed something on a thin silver chain. He held it out for me to examine.
...
“My amplifier,” Ivan said with pride. “The claws from the forepaw of a Sherborn bear. I killed it myself when I left school and joined the Darkling’s service.”
~
As she spoke, light glinted off the heavy silver bracelet gleaming at her wrist. It was studded with what looked like pieces of bone. An amplifier, I realized.
~
As the last lock clicked home, her sleeve slid back, revealing the silver cuff that circled her wrist, pieces of bone or what might have been teeth fused with the metal. He had never seen her without it and wasn’t even sure if it could be removed.
~
“... An amplifier that powerful was too rare to waste. They put the fetter on me, bound the old cat’s teeth in silver so that I could never remove it. That’s how all of the most powerful amplifiers are fashioned.”
Shadow and Bone- Chapter 4 & 11 & King of Scars- Chapter 6 & 27 (Leigh Bardugo)
Why would be Grisha amplifiers traditionally bound in silver?!
Silver is rather soft metal, easy to deform or completely remove, yet Zoya's suprised, when hers breaks. It makes no sense for Ivan to wear something this valuable on "a thin silver chain". Anyone could rip it off. Hell, he could lose it in a shower!
Assuming it's not just another plot hole, we can guess the metal is some kind of alloy that contains silver and takes over its visual properties.
Now another question arises:
How can an army- albeit unusually well-stocked one- in country nearing its bankruptcy afford to give away chunks of precious metal for jewellery?
There are two possible explanations I can think of. Either the Darkling manages to conjure some extra silver the way he's able to do with provisions for his Grisha OR it's not just a symbol of Grisha power and pride, but the King's ownership. The very same palace that can afford diamond trees in its halls, while peasants starve, can probably spare some "less" precious metal to make its property look better.
