darkling stans explaining to antis why they love him:

NURSEYDEX

“My hut. My fire. That sounds a pleasant thing,” she said. “But I find the dark is the same wherever I am.” “You earned those eyes,” he said coldly, but I heard the hurt there too.

“I did,” she said with a sigh. “And more.” […] “Know that I loved you,” she said to the Darkling. “Know that it was not enough.” In a single movement, she shoved herself up on the wall, and before I could draw breath to scream, she tipped forward and vanished over the ledge, trailing the nichevo’ya behind her in tangled skeins of darkness. They tumbled past us in a rush, a shrieking black wave that rolled over the terrace and plummeted down, drawn by the power she exuded. “No!” the Darkling roared. He dove after her, the wings of his soldiers beating with his fury.

The Darkling

I finally had time to start reading the Shadow and Bone trilogy and!! It’s so good!!! I’m already a little obsessed with the Darkling, which is, ya know, a problem. I was going to make him more devious looking, but once I started I realized I could only paint him gently.

Alina Starkov expected to wake up on a ship sailing across the True Sea, one that would take her far from Ravka, far from the Darkling and his mad crusade. Instead, she awoke in Os Alta to a devastating truth: the war was won nearly a century ago, her first love was dead, and she remembered nothing.

Not even that, as part of her surrender, she agreed to a political marriage.

Hello! It’s been a while since I posted any fic here, but I’m excited to finally share a little taste of what I’ve been working on for the @grishaversebigbang. I hope to share more in the days before I start posting on September 1st, but in the meantime, buckle up for a 25-chapter, 100k-word, 🔞 journey I did not plan to go on this year (but here we are).
