Summary
"Before the fires
Before the spools of barbed wire
You said you would never forget
What pierces deeper than the bayonet." Before the Bombs, Death Cab for Cutie.
****
Alina Starkov is the newly discovered Sun Summoner. When an attack on her caravan to Os Alta goes awry, she makes a startling discovery about the youngest Lantsov Prince that sets everything in motion. For what does light need to survive? Darkness. As Alina comes to terms with her own powers, she must make a choice - a prince who would give her the world, and a Grisha General intent on destroying it. Ravka needs a sun Saint, the Darkling needs a chesspiece, but Nikolai needs only Alina to understand both who she is, and what her purpose is in a world trying to dictate *who* she is.
***
An AU of Shadow and Bone that works around the plot for some great Nikolina moments and changes the ending, with some noticeable changes also along the way.Series

Summary
(Just did a massive edit of this fic so if you are a previous reader I would 100% recommend re reading)
A small girl only around five perched on the stairs peered curiously at the sight of the beautiful man sitting opposite her father her gaze lingering momentarily on those dark eyes. She had been sat there for only a few minutes, but even as both men sat in a thick silence she could tell; that whatever they had previously been arguing about hung heavy in the air.
(following the books, not the TV show)
this is not a fluffy little fic so please I beg of you read the tags and warnings x
endgame Nikolai Lantsov and OC but there are other relationships including the main character (Not always healthy or good) this is just a fic following the books with my own Mc but there is background pre-shadow and bone and before that x

I Won't Say I'm in Love by Sad_outsider

Summary
Alina Starkova didn't realize that she was the key to the Grisha's greatest weapon, the Shadow Fold, and Aleksander had to make sure that the girl remained in his power at all costs.
Convincing her to side with him shouldn't have been a problem, she was just a lonely orphan, the perfect victim for his manipulation. So where did it all go wrong? Why, instead of making the girl fall in love with him, did he start to feel this unwanted, shameful weakness for her? That's exactly what it was. A weakness, a passing fancy, perhaps some interest. He wasn't in love!
Or Aleksander's view of the events of the book Shadow and Bone

Summary
“Black suited you well,” the Darkling says absently, glancing over her thick wool tunic, the fur lined coat. She doesn’t think she’s imagining the tinge of regret in his voice. He brushes his knuckles over her cheek.
She flinches away, shooting up to her feet, putting the chair between them.
The Darkling tilts his head curiously. “Are you afraid of me now, Alina?”
“I don’t know,” she says hoarsely. “I think I’ve always been a little afraid. Tell me how what she said wasn’t true.”

Summary
"Crowns topple easily. Thrones crumble like dust. Hearts cease to beat. Thorns draw blood."
In a country torn into two, there should have been no room for mistakes. Especially not at the very core of the royal family. That was what she was. Yes, a Lantsov but a witch. Bloodletter. Grisha.
In the darkness, he longs for the country that had been his home for a great many years. A country that had branded him a heretic, a monster driven by greed, a traitor. Even in hiding, he yearns and yearns. For what, he did not know. But he soon will.
A stain of red in an otherwise pristine white cloth. Either cut it out or cut yourself.
▪︎•▪︎•▪︎•
The events of this book take place generations prior to Shadow and Bone. A few generations after the Fold was created. (Based on the books from the Grishaverse)

Summary
AU
When people fall in love, their hearts meld together. That's what the stories from years ago say, at least. That it's the precious metal of two lives - their individuality, their character, their temperament - softening and growing intertwined, so that the two hearts beat as one. Incandescently glowing metal, under sun and rain. Some people, who believe that once hearts meld there is nothing else to be done, let their metal grow rusted, and tarnished.
OR
The sound of a baby's cries is all that's in the room. It reverberates against the walls until the man curses and slams the door behind him. The little girl wailing in that room is no child of his. The daughter that is his stands outside the door with a ragdoll in her hand.
"Papa?" This girl has his skin. That girl has someone else's.
"Not now, Zoya darling."
OR
In which Zoya and Nina are half-sisters, and how it changes everything and nothing at all.

Summary
As Jesper has gotten to know Wylan Van Eck, he has grown to like the boy. He’s witty and sweet, a far cry from the stuck up prick he presents himself as to the public and to his daddy.
Jesper has also learned that while Wylan is less stuck up than he thought he would be, even if he does have a particular sweet spot for Jesper, he’s still a brat.
Which is why Jesper is losing his mind after realizing that Wylan snuck out while under his care.
