[grasslandgirl]

from Mal Oretsev, your Sturmhond, with love

[Shadow and Bone TV. Grishaverse. Mal/Nikolai/Alina. 11k. post-season 2 epistolary get together fic]

No kissing, he’d told her, despite the way her eyes darted down to his mouth. Not unless you’re thinking of me, instead of trying to forget him. What Nikolai hadn’t said, that morning before the world started crashing down around them all over again, was that he thought of Mal, too. Of the twisted-together web the three of them made. His engagement to Alina, how tremulous the thing was, how wary Nikolai felt of hoping too badly for it to happen. Alina and Mal’s history, warped and tightly knotted and strained at the edges. The uncertain shape pulled between himself and Mal, an understanding he can’t put words to and a faith held in the unwavering needle of his lucky compass, warm against the skin of Mal’s chest. Nikolai wonders if he’s the only one who can see it- the three of them, Ravka spread out beneath their hands, back-to-back-to-back. He wonders if he’s the only one who wants it, fearsome and vicious and hungry.

He doesn’t think so; but he’s been wrong on occasion.

---------------------

or, Mal and Nikolai write each other letters, and all three of them find their way home.

hugs and kisses to jack @kingfisherkink for beta reading this LITERALLY MONTHS ago and to everyone who’s been so enthusiastic and encouraging about me talking abt this and then not posting it for literally ages <3 xoxoxoxo

the sound of an unconditional surrender

A/N: Well, Shadow and Bone S2 blindsided me with a new "I don't know how the hell this would work but I'm here for it" ship and I had to write something, even if it's just a quick 10-minute ficlet. Why the hell my brain insisted on Kaz POV I have no idea, but I hope it works.

Name, as is my tradition, from a Diablo Swing Orchestra song.

---

When the Volkvolny returns to port, he's there. Of course he's there. A distance away from the pier, perhaps, but he's there.

Oretsev gives him a nod as he strides past carrying ropes and hollering orders at the disembarking crew. He nods back -- already distracted.

She's walking down the pier in confident strides, hair blowing in the breeze, sun glinting on her daggers. Tolya's big arm rests around her shoulders and she's not shrinking away. In fact, hers is curled around his waist, fingers tucked into his belt.

His jaw tightens and his fingers ball into tight fists around his cane. He plants his feet and locks his knees, forces himself not to be a coward for once.

Her gaze lands on him. And brightens, softens.

His follows suit, with a warm, knowing smile. He blinks and takes a breath, momentarily reeling.

-

When she's standing in front of him, she squeezes Tolya's arm. The pirate's gaze sweeps her face before he gives them a gentle nod and steps away.

Not far. And while his gaze ostensibly searches for his sister, he knows he's still tuned into her, listening for her breathing, her heartbeat. He can respect that.

"Did you find your brother?"

She exhales. Relieved, but her smile is bittersweet. "Yes. He has a new family, now. We... promised to write."

"Hmm." His gaze bores into her. "And you?"

She tilts her head in that familiar, exasperated way and sighs, challenge heating her eyes and sharpening her voice.

"I came back, didn't I?"

The to you is silent and he wonders if he imagined it. He blinks slowly and glances five steps away and to the left. "Yes. You did."

This time she does not fail to roll her eyes. She reaches out her left hand and Tolya is there at her side, fingers intertwined with hers, his gaze steady and warm on her. And then on him.

She lifts her right hand in front of her, palm open, eyes burning. Willing him to figure it out. Willing him to swallow the dregs of fear and pride and accept.

"Yes. We did."

Summary: “Do you usually have visitors in here?” Mal asks before he can bite his tongue. Nikolai grows very still.

Intruders. He meant to say, intruders. Do you normally find intruders in your private quarters? Not, do you and Alina often invite guests over for a three-way romp?

Malkolina awkward morning after fic!

"It was a scene he had imagined billions of times, but nothing was as good as this. It was simultaneously soft and passionate; a soothing balm and the cause of the burn. Everything else melted away, leaving Wylan and Jesper at the centre of the universe. No— Wylan was the centre of the universe. Nothing else mattered. Jesper smiled gently against Wylan’s perfect lips, messing up the kiss, and Wylan laughed breathily into his mouth. It was all Jesper could do to not mention how poetic it was that they were sharing the same air, breathing life back into each other. His legs felt jelly-like as he put one arm around Wylan’s waist and ran his other hand through Wy’s silky locks. His strawberry shampoo flooded Jesper’s airways as they continued to kiss, and he thought to himself that if he had to die, this was how he should go; gasping for breath as his nose bumped into Wylan’s, both of them holding onto each other like they were drowning, pulling each other closer as if somehow they could merge into a single body."

tagged by the lovely @alyxmastershipper, @mysteriouslyyounggalaxy, @cowboy-buddie, and @bigfootsmom ❤️

it's still sunday for like 3 more minutes so here we gooooo, have some of my helnik canon divergence because the s2 ending hurts my heart even though the angst is delicious but anyway here

And then, finally, he was free.

“He’s all yours, Brekker,” The guard called out to the tall man dressed in all black, an ornate cane grasped tightly in his hand.

But Matthias only had eyes for the woman standing beside the man— Brekker, apparently.

Nina.

The second he laid eyes on her, everything else fell away.

“Nina.” Her name tore from his throat, an agonized whisper.

“Matthias.” Her response was just as quiet, just as heartbroken and full of longing.

since sunday is almost over just consider this a tag for next week <3

Jesper was enchanted with Wylan's eyes. They were consuming his thoughts, reaching into his heart and replacing old, hopeless wishes with softer, happier ones. Ones he could almost see coming true. Almost. If only he'd managed to notice where, or on whom, those eyes always seemed to linger.. it might've spared him what he's feeling right now.

 In which Jesper Fahey, the hopeful farmboy, chose the wrong person to care about, again. Or did he?

New Thought on Season 2 of Shadow and Bone (and resulting fan fics): I'm total behind OT3s if that's your thing, and I've read some interesting Darknikolina fic... maybe it's because I only read TGT, but Nikolai really feels like a Tabula Rasa character in the trio, where the writer/reader can project pretty much anything onto him and have it still be considered in character.

lover

in which nina zenik and matthias helvar weren't looking for anything when they found each other

and the future they created thereafter

OR

thirty times nina zenik and matthias helvar were absolute fluff ball simps about each other, in a very particular order

we could leave the christmas lights up 'til january

and this is our place

we make the rules

and there's a dazzling haze

a mysterious way about you

dear

have i known you twenty seconds or twenty years?

we can let our friends crash in the living room

this is our place

we make the call

and i'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you

i've loved you three summers now

honey

@waterloou Thank youuuu! 💕 Here's a little sneak peek at my nearly complete WIP ft. a drunk and jealous Wylan, forced to watch Jesper's back while he's on a fake date with a mark:

He took another swig of ale and licked the foam slowly off his top lip as he narrowed his eyes at Daan, who had placed a hand on Jesper’s shoulder, laughing loudly at something he’d said— Daan’s chest heaved from the force of his laughter and the topmost button of his shirt worked loose, exposing more of his neck—long and white like a swan with a terrible case of mites, every feather chewed away to its miserable root, leaving pink spots behind. Wylan tipped back the ale.

Send me a flower (if you want a SAB WIP snippet)

[desidarling123]

Summary: Inej takes Matthias out on a proper date several weeks after a heated encounter at the gym. What the night holds, however, comes as a surprise to both.

Author's Note: This was written for @feelinglikecleopatra as a part of the BOTB Winter Fic Exchange 2022! And is inspired by her Inej x Matthias chapter in Zero Sum Games, so give that a read first.

Happy 2023! To another great year of writing for rarepairs ;)

Chapter 3 of my attempt to blend book canon with show changes is up, and it is time to enter the Fjerda and the Ice Court. But what will compel Inej to climb six stories in the dark when she already found – and lost a little faith – her purpose?

This story starts at the end of Shadow and Bone S2 and encompasses my vision for season 3 from Inej's point of view. The aim is to comply with the SoC duology canon, except for where the show has already deviated.

Summary: “And what do you want, Kaz?” she asks, taking a step towards him.

“To be—”

“—To be buried under the weight of your money, I know, I’ve heard it before,” she interrupts, an edge to her voice. He has made her feel wild and untethered, made her feel small and weak, made her feel like she has the world held at the point of her blade. Perhaps it is time to make him feel something, too. “But that can’t be it. That can’t be everything.”

“It is.”

She shakes her head. “It isn’t.” She is so close to him now; she could reach out and touch him, if she wanted. She could pull his gloves from his hands, see if they are covered in blood the way the rumours say they are. She could see if Dirtyhands is truly a name that he has earned. “What do you want, Kaz?”

“I…” He stares down at her, his eyes on her mouth. It is not an answer, not really, but it is something, it is a step, a clue.
