    Waiting for the hint of a spark by for GreenGarnets, Madelie

    Summary

    "Just our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark
    If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
    Illuminate the "no"s on their vacancy signs
    If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
    Then I'll follow you into the dark" - Death Cab for Cutie.
    ****
    1929. Four years have passed since the end of Ruin and Rising. In that time, Nikolai and Alina have become Ravka's Tsar and Tsaritsa-Consort. Discontent with the rampant corruption and issues of Ravkan society, they've moved towards industrialization. However, in their hunger for modernization and competition with the larger nation states around them, looms the threat of loosing their souls to the grindstone. For war and societal changes looms large in the minds of many Europeans, and the darkness that waits just in the background is worse than even the Fold.
    ****
    An AU of King of Scars that works around the plot for some great Nikolina moments and changes the ending, with some noticeable changes also along the way.

    Little Lost Thing by

    Summary

    It was supposed to be simple. Get in. Cry about being lost. Plant the device. Walk away.

    Now, Alina Starkov found herself curled on a leather armchair, a steaming cup of tea trembling between her fingers, a soft blanket tucked around her shoulders, and a sleek black cat — Nichevoya, according to the engraved tag — purring in her lap.

    Just another modern AU that nobody asked for...enjoy.

    A Study on the Implications of a Love Affair by

    15 Sep 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    “He saw her, didn’t he? That’s why he turned away.” Inej asked cautiously. Jesper shook his head warning her. Alina only turned to face their peers and joined their conversation.

    “It’s been months, Jes.” Inej turned to Jesper. “Saints! At his big age he is still acting like a kid. Why can’t he be civil and adult about it?”

    It has been months—Alina had to agree. Since then, she had been focusing on herself, figuring out that she can’t let her life be held back by ghosts. Funny, she thought, she never even knew it was ending when it did. One second, she had someone who sat with her through her fears and the next she was met with unanswered calls.

    ---
    Alina, undergraduate biology student, had a fling/situationship/casual thing with Professor Alexander Morozova. Excess baggage and past traumas ensued which ended their "thing". But life is crazy and had to conspire to bring them back together.

    Summary

    The author is @nine-is-not-a-ten on tumblr, i have her permission to post the work here.
    Copy of the inspo tumblr post:

    tsibeyantiger
    Saw a post about how wild it is that Inej's probably gonna be a saint while Kaz will be a story to scare children, but you know what will be REALLY wild? The legends that get told when people find out they knew each other.
    It will probably be half "Kaz kidnapped/ tortured/ corrupted/ killed Inej" and half "Inej redeemed Kaz because by meeting her he realised how much of a sinner he was and that he wanted to be a better man". Hell, I can even imagine people worshipping Kaz, too, because he got to meet Sankta Inej, the blessed, the wraith, patron of thieves and hookers, holy empress of the True Sea, nightmare of slave traders and pirate queen with a heart untouched by sin.
    And they'll probably be depicted together very often, kinda the GrishaVerse version of Yin and Yang.

    me
    Imagine "good omens" version of kaz and inej so basically a very funny fanfic on legends/religion, but the two main characters clearly fall for each other. I believe some two good souls would write this in grishaverse

    After that author posted this banger of ch1
    Enjoy :)

    Summary

    “How would I want you to be who you used to be?” Wylan nearly yells, staring at him with wide and angry eyes. "I didn’t know you, whoever ‘who you used to be’ is! I’m trying to tell you that just because you don’t want to be whoever that was again, it doesn’t mean you can just be horrible to everyone else!”

    “And what if I did?”

    Or, Kaz gets into a fight with Wylan. Apparently, he wants to be happy with his friends a little more than he thought.

    Summary

    Inej stared at the pot. The broth was golden and shimmery. “If I do it can I have some soup?”

    “You want to use me sexually for your own material gain and you want my dinner?” Kaz asked, seeming almost impressed with her ambition.

    “Yes.”

    “Fine.”

    “It just smells so good–wait, really?”

    “Fortune favors the bold,” Kaz said blandly.

    Summary

    “I have devoted my life to undoing the great sin of my forebearer but I’m never seen as the solution, always as a reminder of the problem. They always need someone to blame.”

    “Can you tell me any more about him?” Black eyes snap to hers. “Please.”

     

    Instead of just flirting at the fountain, Alina starts asking questions. The Darkling is forced to reassess his plans and the Sun Summoner starts forging her own...

    Summary

    Inej had always told Kaz that his habit of slipping off without telling anyone where he was going would kill him, but this time, he didn’t even do it on purpose- he had a tail and he decided to take a detour through the warehouse district to lose them.

    His real mistake was assuming his tail was smarter than he really was- when Kaz went up on the catwalks, a smarter man would’ve tried to cut off the exits from below, keeping him trapped up above. Of course, that was what Kaz wanted him to do, but he knew it wasn’t that the man had thought Kaz had planned for that.

    Because only a fool would attempt a one on one fight with Dirtyhands himself- especially with such a high drop right there on either side of them. It hardly took Kaz thirty seconds to flip the man over the railing.

    Unfortunately, Kaz had underestimated the man’s grip strength. All it took was a hand on his lapel and a flailing kick to his bad leg and Kaz toppled right over the edge with him.

    Summary

    It was never meant to be a curse.

    In fact, according to Zoya, it was supposed to be a gift. The day Wylan Van Eck was born, the fairy had appeared in his nursery and uttered the following words:

    "My gift is obedience. Wylan will always do as he is told." Before either of the women in the room could protest, she vanished with a wave of her hand and an order for the baby to stop crying.

    For the first time since Wylan had emerged into the world, his tears dried and he was silent. That night, Marya Van Eck shed all the tears her son had been denied.

    Tags
    Summary

    Van Eck was talking as he idly held what Inej first thought was a bat or pipe- up until she saw the flash of a silver crow’s head. Fury made her skin crawl with the urge to strike, but she forced herself to be patient. To watch. That’s what Kaz would do- get as much information as possible and then get out to form a plan.

    She couldn’t see Kaz’s face from this angle, but Kaz always knew she was there so surely he’d know now as well. Surely he’d feel her and know that she was trying to get him out. That she came for him, was fighting for him. If he did, he gave her no indication.

    OR what if Kaz had been taken by Van Eck instead of Inej?

    Summary

    “–I suppose there aren’t a lot of other options. Would you… do you think…” He bit his lip and smiled, his eyes giving Wylan that hopeful, pleading look he was so desperately good at. And Ghezen, Wylan would do anything for Jesper on a normal day, never mind when he sent that look Wylan’s way.

    “You really think people would believe we’re a couple?” Wylan squeaked before he could think of a coherent response. The corner of Jes’s mouth twitched in a smirk.

    “Come on, Wy, I know I’m not your usual type, but I can’t be that bad, can I?” He winked and Wylan surely turned even pinker. He bided a long moment to conjure a response by taking a deep pull of the dregs of his coffee. Jesper supposedly not being Wylan’s type was far from the problem.

    —

    Jesper's behind on rent, but for his bookshop to be featured in a local business magazine, it has to be owned and run by a couple. Wylan's flower shop is just next door.
