    Fissure and Thaw by

    Summary

    Masks had always been familiar to Nesta Archeron.

    Less shiny, less deadly than the one that occasionally framed her face, these were smaller, meant for everyday wear that hid her identity in different, more vital ways.

    ‘Stop bouncing on your toes, Nesta. Stay still.’

    The earliest effort – to stop her body from constantly moving. Constantly needing to sway or rock up and down, be it at tea, or on the promenade.

    ‘Sound sweet when you talk. Simpering. No one likes a monotone. And for my sake, smile.’

    The bane of her mother’s existence – that her voice was not light and melodic, like Feyre’s, but rather deep-toned and inherently cold. How her face rested in a perpetual scowl regardless of her mood.

    ‘Watch me, copy me. That’s right.’

    ---

    In which Nesta masks to conform to her peers, until she can't anymore.

    Summary

    Alina stands before the Black General, and knows nothing will be the same. Her arm is still in his grasp, his black eyes locked on hers. She cannot fully read the emotion that fills them, but there is a certain hunger there that makes the breath catch in her throat.

    She cannot look away.

    Summary

    She will have one chance to do this. One chance to escape him, to earn more time to figure out how to defeat him. “You’ve shown me your hand,” she says, her core heating as she goes so bright that the tent’s occupants hit the ground to hide from it. The Darkling doesn’t, but she’s caught him unawares. His shadows are wild, uncontained as they attempt to thread through her light, to get to her. He’s scrambling. “Now I will show you mine.”

    Then she sends a quick prayer to whoever is listening, brightens her light to the point where she can only hold it a few seconds without harming anyone, and bends it away. She only has a moment to throw herself into the crowd of Grisha on the floor, masking herself in the frantic heartbeats, before the Darkling lets out an inhuman, almost keening sound, slams his hands together, and sends them all into darkness.

    Summary

    What if Alina tried to go back to Aleksander long before they reached the stag? What if other's had prevented her? Alina struggles to get home when everyone around is against her, ready to accept who she was meant to be and take her place in the spotlight.

    Sort of a sequel to 'Alina actually has time to think' in that it's a similar format where she is essentially kidnapped despite trying to choose Aleks almost right from the start.
