What if young Alina was taken to the Little Palace... as Inferni?

With a pounding heart, I finally arrived at the Second Army camp. Determined, I urged my horse forward, but the days without sleep had taken their toll. Weariness weakened my grip, and I tumbled to the ground. Struggling to catch my breath, I looked up to see a group of grisha surrounding me. "Fjerdan...Grisha...running. Must...see...the Darkling." I barely uttered before fainting.

Alina was never an orphan. Discovered by Grisha examiners in Dva Stolba when she is 9 years old, she is taken from her troubled family and grows up in the Little Palace as the Darkling's protege. Alina is forever caught in the expectations of powerful men. Perhaps no surprise that she grows up with a fierce temper, hating being controlled, and a knack for seeing through lies.

Post RoW - The khergud program may have been shut down, but Makhi Kir-Taban is not a woman to give up. And she has her sights set on the deposed demon king for her scientists to "study."

Aleksander hates the summer months. Alina changes that. For @EighteenQs for the Darklina Summer Mini Promptfill Exchange on Twitter. The prompt word was ignite.

When mermaid Alina saves a prince from drowning, her only wish is to become human and find him again. It doesn't work out the way she expected. Little Mermaid AU based on the Hans Christian Anderson with a Darklina ending.

For as long as anyone could remember, there had only ever been one Darkling—one person in all of Ravka who could summon the power of the shadows. No one, not even Esfir herself, expected that century-old truism would unexpectedly be proven false, and especially not by a common thief.

Alina goes looking for her father. She finds his killer instead.

They are two sides of the same coin. There are no others like them. And Aleksander certainly can't be truly killed by a mere knife. Post season 2 fix-it.

King Nikolai and Alina are enjoying the first few weeks of their peace-filled marriage at the Grand Palace when they receive an unexpected guest – General Kirigan, leader of the Second Army who comes to warn them of supposed danger to the kingdom of Ravka. In truth, Kirigan wants two things: the throne and the Sun Summoner. He is ready to do anything in his power to get them both.

*canon compliant book-verse* Daria has lived in freedom — a feat to which few Grisha can honestly lay claim. She has traveled, seen many things, learned much. And after long years, a voyage on the True Sea brings her face to face with her past, awakening a buried sense of longing and setting her on a new course.

Pre-canon — Neither of the twins understood Nikolai's obsession with creating a ship that could traverse the skies. Granted, many of his inventions worked, but not without a fair amount of trial and error. And when that trial and error involved crashing and burning…

Post RoW - Nikolai is back on the Volkvolny far from home. But not so far that the Dragon Queen cannot find him.

Alina is brought up at the Little Palace. The royal family seeks to keep their Sun Saint close by promising her hand to their absent prince, but a dastardly privateer is also surprisingly interested. Nikolina one shot, please read the warnings. I own nothing.

Alina needs a date for the wedding of her two exes. Nina knows just the right man.

Wanting to return to work, Elizaveta is thankful when her niece Alina offers to spend her gap year as a live-in nanny for Elizaveta and Aleksander's baby son. By the time she realises that Alina is taking over her role as mother and wife, it is far too late to stop her.

Morozov laughs, "I'm afraid you're not going to be in any condition to speak to sweet Alina by the time my men are done with you. Still, I can assure you that she will be in the best of hands with me. Don't worry, Oretsev. I'll be certain you hear it when I make her scream."

"I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but me." Does he love me? she wonders, is this what love is for one as ancient as him – devouring and monstrous devotion?

Alina Starkova enters the world on the longest day of the year, with a soulmark showing a wisp of shadow entwined with a gleaming beam of light. As the Black Tsar searches ruthlessly for his equal, Alina's parents try desperately to give their daughter a normal life, but you can't escape fate.

When Mal snagged a coveted summer internship, he couldn't wait to celebrate. Unfortunately, he was pretty sure his boss Aleksander Morozov was a devil with only three soft spots – his goddaughter Alina and her two daughters (who bore a striking resemblance to Morozov).

Alina has been chronically ill ever since she was a child. Dr Morozov believes he can help.

Alina dreams of a mysterious man and soon finds her darkest dreams turning into reality.
