thanks to @vorbarrsultana i can't stop thinking about modern lantsovs&morozovas meetings, shared meals etc etc.........lord that'd be hilarious. ulla would call lantsovs inbred and baghra would smile so tightly at tatiana her face turns into a raisin. milf on mils (mother id like to slap) violence. their suuuuch different aesthetics too. peacock vs raven. succession meets the addams family (quote by varya). twitter vs instagram. illegal blonde vs jennifers body. at some point aleksander tries to poison himself because it becomes too embarrassing. lord
The children couldn’t understand what was happening. They were told that Daddy Darkling was bad but that couldn’t be true. He was always kind to them, told them stories while doing voices, played games with them, made shadow puppets and listened to them when they had something to say. How could Daddy Darkling be a monster like they said. Something wasn’t right and they were going to get to the bottom of it.
The kids waiting till the grown ups had gone to bed before meeting up outside by the lake.
“I never trusted that Sun Summoner, she wasn’t here that long and I thought she liked Daddy Darkling.” Said Anastasia.
“ Yeah, I saw them together and he looked so happy. I never liked Zoya either, she was always mean.” Said Vlad.
All the others agreed with them. Then the kids started to plan, obviously they had to help Daddy Darkling and what better way than capturing the traitors. They stayed up late getting everything ready.
Two Weeks Later
Honestly, this was embarrassing, they got out planned by little kids. Nikolai was both impressed and embarrassed by this. He was tied up along with Alina,Zoya,Toyla,Tamar and David. Standing all around them were the kids and Feydor.
Feydor had apparently been a spy for The Darkling this entire time. They should have seen it; his husband was on the Darkling’s side so it made sense he would be too.
“Good job little ones!” Feydor exclaimed.
“Thanks Feydor, we knew we had to do something to help Daddy Darkling,” they all proclaimed.
“ And helped me you did.” Aleksander himself said as he walked in with Ivan.
The Grand Palace had been taken over pretty easily. The Darkling now ruled it.
“This has to be the best thing I’ve ever seen, right Ivan?”
“ Definitely,” I an replied.
“ Now, what to do with you lot.”
There was much discussion where Genya convinced David to go back into his side. Which he did without question as he had always like Aleksander. Plus he’d be with Genya. Nikolai decided to see if he could make peace with Aleksander; he didn’t want to die.
The next few weeks were fast paced as Nikolai and Aleksander came to an understanding. Though Aleksander would never let him forget that he was overpowered by small children.
-just a fun little one shot
Давайте ещё поговорим про преступления и наказания в Равке? Обещаю, мне есть что сказать по этому поводу
I NEED to know more
thinking about them (headcanon darknikolina kiddos)
You can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. I love Aleksander Morozova but can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) & can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) & call him out for his actions (which are always correct).
— today i live for darkolai crumbs
AU: The Darkling got the throne and captured Nikolai. After a while they realize their goals are the same and start to co-operate. To avoid attempts to overthrow Aleksander and install Nikolai, they fake Kolya's death and reclaim his rogue identity...
courtier: "Moi tsarevich?"
Nikolai: "Oh no, I'm Sturmhond, the famous privateer."
courtier: "Apologies, but you look just like late tsarevich Nikolai."
Nikolai: "Yeah, I get that a lot, but I'm ginger and much better looking, if we believe the Black Tsar himself."
courtier: "Well, certainly, I can see that now. Sturmhond, you said?"
Nikolai: "Please, call me Kolya."
courtier: "!!!"
~
courtier: "The likness, even your name... It's certainly curious, isn't it?"
Nikolai: "Oh please... half of the sailors is named after Saint Nikolai... Makes for riotous meetings and quite a challenge to command a crew."
~
courtier, sneakily: "Some might even want you to become the King..."
Nikolai: "Well, that can be arranged..."
Nikolai: *chatches Aleksander's eye across whole room*
Nikolai: *licks his lips seductively*
Nikolai: *winks*
room: *suddenly darkens a little*
!
DARK!NIKOLAI LANTSOV AU: pyotr lantsov is trying to create a new kind of grisha and is testing a trial serum on his son. nikolai survives and seeks revenge. he teams up with the darkling to get to alina first and take over family's company.
Nikolai: "Hello, my name is Nikolai Lantsov. You killed my boyfriend. Prepare to die!"
Aleksander: "But you don't have all the facts!"
Nikolai: "Which are?"
Aleksander: "I'm hot and I have a point!"
Nikolai, skeptically: "... continue..."
~
after the Darkling explains his plans for Ravka:
ghost!Dominik: "Remind me again, why we faught AGAINST this guy?"
~
Some time later:
Aleksander: "Ah yes. Me. My husband. And the ghost of his boyfriend, whose death I've indirectly caused before we've even met properly..."
good evening, nikolai's coronation coat was consciously inspired by darkling's kefta
Aleksander would totally kiss Nikolai’s scarred fingertips. Both as an act of devotion and possession.
