Summary
Centuries ago, the Darkling had indeed found the sun summoner. His only true equal… his wife. Together they worked to liberate the Grisha and usurp King Anastas before she was taken from him, killed to everyone’s belief. History forgets this sun summoner.
Time passes, and slowly steals memory of her from his mind.
It is four hundred years later when there is a new sun summoner found on the Unsea, a girl that reminds him so much of his lost lover. And so, the Darkling must question whether they are really strangers, or if fate is only playing cruel tricks on him.

Summary
“If you’re so worried about your daughter then why are you wasting your time yelling at me instead of caring for her?”
He stills. His fists clench, just once, and she can see the muscles in his jaw working, like it is taking him every ounce of will not to unhinge it, lean across the counter, and rip out her throat with his teeth.
Then he turns, without a word, and storms out the door, the tails of his black coat flying behind him like a cloak.
Aleksander is in need of a nanny for his six-month-old daughter. As it so happens, Alina is the only person she likes.- Language:

Summary
My stare flickered across the room, a trill of fear slithering down my spine as quite abruptly I realized the Darkling was leaning against the door, studying me with near palpable intensity.
We sat in silence for what felt like an eternity.
"Do you make it a habit of watching people while they sleep?" I finally hoarsely inquired with an edge of sarcasm, making his lips twitch into that familiar ghost of a smile. It was enough to make my chest ache.
an alternate ending and bridge between Siege and Storm and Ruin and Rising, with the ending we deserve.
long AU :)

Summary
The Darkling's tent was large and ominous and quite a distance from the cartographer’s tent, but Alina ran to it, slamming up against the oprichniki at its entrance instead of a proper stop, breath thready and voice high with exertion.
"Please," she said between great lungfuls of dusty air. "I need to see the Darkling."
"You don't belong here, Shu bint."
The urgency running through Alina's very blood coiled around itself, an anger boiling in her veins that she pushed away, willing it not to dull the momentum of her singleminded mission.
"It's about the Fold," she breathed, frustrated, muscles singing with exertion. She pulled out one of her maps from the last month out from underneath her arm, shaking it in the face of the closest oprichniki.
"It's shrinking."Two months before Mal and Alina are charted for their journey across the Fold, Alina enlists the help of the Darkling when the Fold begins to shrink. One Shadow Summoner-- and a Sun Summoner who has practiced her power every night since youth underneath thin duvets.
