Everyone always talks about Start a War by nymja (rightly so) but no one talks about this fic! Alarkling over the course of four different lives.

Vignette-style canon divergence AU. Thereโs Hades/Persephone parallels and the writing is gorgeously lush.

This one is basically a classic, but no one talks about it. AU where Alina is an engineer (?) and the Darkling is an ambassador for Ravka. It starts slow but.. oh my god. READ IT. Twist ending.

Ravka is on the verge of a Revolution.
Alina and Aleks are revolution leaders. Definitely dark, but beautifully written.

The Darkling comes back to life and poses as a Fjerdan man in order to tear Alinaโs marriage apart. It sounds silly but itโs BRILLIANT. Itโs his POV, and itโs absolutely amazing.

Fix-it fic. What if Alina didnโt run away in Shadow & Bone? The author is so nice, go give them support! I know this one is popular right now, but Iโm including it anyways.

Yes this is my own work... look away. Instead of responding with fear, Alina responds with anger when the Darkling comes to her in the night disguised as Mal. Smut.

I wanna note for anyone looking through this thread: many of these authors have more than just one alarkling story, so if you like their work go check out their profile!
