Tumblr for Darklina Discord Server: a place to gush about Darklina, Alina, and Aleksander; brainstorm and share your fan creations and enjoy the works of others; and be part of a fandom community for Shadow and Bone and the Grishaverse books! We have events throughout the year with different themes and prompts for making fan content. Invite links posted on weekends. Feel free to join us on discord or just follow on tumblr, however you do fandom! Not a spoiler-free blog, so all s2 content will be tagged #season 2 for the foreseeable future.
We'll always have fandom! Even with the SAB cancellation news, this server isn't going anywhere and we will continue to be a space for Darklinas—for creating and discussing and having community as a fandom 🖤

Summary:
“I don’t know how you do it,” Alina says baldly as she strides into their shared suite, feathers fluffing in irritation. She yanks off her fur stole as if the garment has personally offended her, throwing it onto the bed with all the bubbling vitriol she has been forced to contain. “If I had to spend another hour in our royal family’s esteemed company I think I’d commit murder. The gall! Ugh!”
Another evening, another pretentious ball. Ever since the day they had handfasted in the Grisha way - not so much in secret as knowing full-well that the missive would arrive on the Tsar’s desk after the ceremony - the Tsar had demanded that General and Lady Kirigan attend court. From afternoon tea with the Tsaritsa to lavish balls, they have been paraded out in front of the nobility like animals performing in a zoo, and all at His Majesty’s pleasure.
A wee ficlet for my dear @midwinterspringwrites!

Rating: Mature

Relationships: The Darkling | Aleksander Morozova/Alina Starkov
Characters: The Darkling | Aleksander Morozova, Alina Starkov

Summary: Saints, she’s tired. Unused to playing the game, Alina is sick of pasting on a smile. Being a good little sun summoner. Lies and subterfuge have never been her forte. No, Alina is too open and honest for all that, though thus far she has successfully pulled the wool over their enemies' eyes.
Farcical, but she’ll endure it.
My gift for @dakotaawolven for DDS Secret Sankta! Much hugs, my lovely.

The time is nigh! Log in to the Darklina Discord Server this Saturday, November 1 (see pinned post above for invite link) for the launch of the DDS Secret Sankta 2025 fan works holiday exchange event! Sign-up info and other details will be shared that day. 🎁
Alongside the exchange, we’re planning an additional ongoing activity to keep the mood jolly through the season! This activity can be done instead of - or in addition to, if you’re feeling ambitious! - the exchange itself. Hint: Think of it as an… advent calendar of sorts. 😁
