Hey guys!

I’ve finally figured out, why is the Darkling SO EVIL!

- He ~MANIPULATES~ darkness…

What in the darknikolina is this.

"Oops careless 😏😜" his ass is not sorry!

you know what i want a spin off of? i want a spin off of the years of the darklings life that are completely skipped over. i want to see him as a kid constantly on the run from people who want to kill him and use his bones, i want to see the things he's done for the kings, the deals his made that they'd sooner kill him and everyone like him then keep to, i want to see the reactions of himself and baghra and ravka and the world after the fold was created, i want to see the progress of how it made grisha useful enough to the royals to let darkling build the little palace, to make his own second army, to have grisha working at the edge of the fold to get people through safely. i want more of his backstory.

Once again, we've talked about how could Alina never realistically survive in army, due to her lack of respect and obedience.

Which could offer interesting AU, where her powers aren't discovered while crossing the Fold, but when she's being hanged. How would status of constantly insubordinate soldier influence her new position of Sun Summoner?!

She'd probably get the collar ASAP. Can't have someone unreliable by default trained and uncontrollable...

Another one for that AU, where Darkolai had a light affair before Nikolai left for "Ketterdam".

The Darkling: *meets Sturmhond to hire him to go after the Sea Whip*

The Darkling: "Captain. Can we talk in private?"

Sturmhond: "Sure. Follow me."

both: *enter captain's cabin*

The Darkling: "Hello Kolya..."

Sturmhond, sputtering: "What?! I...."

The Darkling: "Don't try to deny it. You might change your face, badly as my Tailor pointed out, ..."

The Darkling: *leans in*

Aleksander: "...but under all that sea, you still smell the same."

Nikolai: *visibly fighting his teen crush rushing back*

Aleksander: *smirks*

Alelsander: "And Ivan recognized your heart pattern. Smitten sobachka, he calls it."

Nikolai: *absolutely undignifoed noise*

Nikolai: "I am NOT SMITTEN!"

Aleksander: *smirk widening*

Nikolai, resigned: "Hello, Sasha."

Paddy is perfect chaotic modern! Nikolai

good evening, nikolai's coronation coat was consciously inspired by darkling's kefta

!

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.

“Something caught your eye, Sasha?”
