Chapter One: Embrace

Alina Starkov finds she craves power... and the Darkling. Picks up after Baghra's reveal, but instead Alina decides to stay with the Darkling to be his equal. But despite originally wanting to be his balance of good to evil, after learning the harsh truths of being Grisha, her course alters. From there she is headed down a much darker path.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

a healthy mix of both the books and the show as well as some of my own additions.

will become more mature as the story progresses (spice, gore, graphic description, language etc.)

the darkling's name reveal will appear later in the story, more similar to the books. "cAll mE aLeksandEr" is an insult to his character.
