If I may ask you who is better for Alexander? Is Luda - his first love perfect for him or Alina?

First of all we don't know if Luda was "the first". She was just the only other one we've seen.

For five minutes.

In which she got fridged, yet still showed more depth in her relationship with Aleksander than Alina could ever dream of (were she truly interested in such a thing).

Luda and Aleksander seemed to understand each other without long explanations, she was involved in his mission, didn't seem squeamish. Another survivor. She was also aware of Aleksander's life span, so it's safe to assume deep trust between the two. Luda was determined to do what was in her power to actively prolong her life with Aleksander, so he won't be alone against the world for that long. She understands his fears.

Judging from Ol' Bag's reaction, the two women weren't excessively friendly. That's another point for the Healer- she didn't put up with Baghra's shit, or at least wasn't willing to accept her every word as a Gospel.

Alina... well, I've written tons about Alina.

In books she were limited by her upbringing and many mental issues.

Oh, and let's not forget her step-brother-ish anvil.

She's selfish and intentionally blind, she refuses to challenge status quo, believing it the correct way things should be. Worst of all she's refusing to grow out of anything. She likes to wallow in the safety of being a grey mouse, trudging in the shadow of her future husband.

Show!Alina seemed short-sighted and reckless, but eventually showed there's no good heart underneath. It's her against the world, so let's collect the McGuffins, kill the delusional Shadow Grandpa and live as the Queen she always deserved to be! She can even make a nice speech to her three point none subjects.

Who cares the rest of the country's dying?!

Which one of these women seems like a good match for the man, who sacrificed his personhood to making the world more accepting place for his people, whether they help him or not?!

rage against the dying of the light

T | Oneshot | 3.5k | F/M

The moment he touches her, naked skin against naked skin, something unfolds―beyond the warmth of his fingers, beyond the frenetic nerves pulsing with pleasure at the first human contact after so many days without, it is the wave of immense power roiling within her that steals her breath away. As if called by a voice not her own, low and soft, its timbre resonating as she stifles the cry that wants to tear out of her heaving lungs, it submerges everything else.

With his touch, fear morphs into rage.

One fateful encounter between two strangers, both fleeing the threat of widespreaded hate and violence. From this meeting will create a new path, a new future―and a ripple, unbeknownst to those at its heart, leading to the heresy which shall leave its indelible mark upon the world.

― rage against the dying of the light, a lusander/shadow and bone fic for @mal-zoya​!

As requested in their prompt for Luda and Aleksander’s first meeting, here is my Grisha Rarepair Exchange gift! Hope you will like this little fic as much as I had fun writing it <3

Aleksander: what..,what are you doing? What is this?

Luda: A hug…have you never been hugged before?

Aleksander: You’ve met my mother right?

Luda: well I’m going to hug you even harder!

Aleksander with tears in his eyes: okay
