    Summary

    Maybe the Saints made a mistake.
    Maybe I did.
    Either way, I think the sun chose the wrong person — and I have no idea what I’m doing.

    In my defense, the sun was just there…and I was left unsupervised.
    *cough* It's the general's fault, somehow.

    Summary

    Alina Starkov doesn’t trust people.

    It’s one of her rules, and by far the most important one; don’t trust anyone, especially not about what you can do.

    She has grown up knowing about her powers and nurturing them until they became exceptional, learning about them from a rational and logical point of view, and she’s done it all on her own.

    Some would call her selfish for refusing to fulfill her so-called ‘destiny’ as the Sun Summoner at banishing the Fold, but selfishness is another thing she’s very good at. She has no desire of being anyone’s savior as she knows the cost for it; her freedom.

    But you can only outrun fate for so long.

     

    Since the beginning of time it has been widely known that darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.

    Summary

    Typically, people discovered who their soulmate was after they got to know them. The soulmarks matched up with the other’s personality, and it clicked, like the missing piece of a puzzle—it felt right.

    Kaz had known who his soulmate was ever since his soulmark formed.

    When Kaz accidentally harnessed shadows a few weeks later, his theory about his soulmate was all but confirmed.

    -
    (Or; an AU where Kaz and Aleksander are soulmates, and Kaz can summon shadows)

    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.

    Summary

    THE LEGEND SAYS: Darkness is always searching for light, hoping that it will balance out his shadow and fill out his void. Thus, he went on many journey just to find her. What the legend doesn't tell you is that darkness never belongs to light, he belongs to something more alluring. Fear, the perfect partner for his shadow.
