I’m ready to fight a million-year war as long as I find her at the end of it.

RKVERSE BRATVA HEADCANNONS

that no one really asked for, but everyone needs<3

Damien Orlov is Nikolai Sokolov's Godfather.

The one-slightly related to the mafia- kid that all the second-generation mafia kids are scared respect is Sebastian and Naomi's firstborn (I said what I said)

In the Morozov household, all arguments are solved through uno.

Ironically, the one with the best accuracy while firing a gun is the one with the least bloodlust in him, Gareth.

Annika is closest to Lidiya Morozova and the Orlov Princess.

Naomi and Sebastian are Gareth Carson's Godparents.

Adrian tries to homeschool his kids, but it backfires when neither of his kids let him work in peace as a sign of protest. He reluctantly lets them attend a private school with an army of bodyguards.

Kai Takeda becomes the next head of the Yakuza.

Vaughn is very good at playing video games to the point that he gets invited to play at events.

Maya and Gareth are the best at cheating while playing any kinds of board games and often defeat the rest (Killian loses because he's in a team with Nikolai who gets bored midway and tries to sabotage the game instead).

Damien is good at cooking while Kirill has a hidden talent for baking. Adrian finds the prospect of both of them wearing aprons funny until he is put on duty for washing the dishes. Wearing his daughter's purple, floral apron.

Jeremy becomes really good at lip-reading while he's trying to figure out what his parents are talking about over his head and as an adult, he's desperately trying to lose the habit around them.

The one who taught all the boys to drive a bike is Mio Orlov.

She also taught Sasha who nearly gives the Pakhan of the Bratva a heart attack when she figures out how to do wheelies with Rai cheering her on.

Kyle Hunter is exceptionally good at hide and seek and the kids could never find him whenever the Sokolovs were hosting sleepovers.

Annika has knocked endlessly and tirelessly on Adrian's office door till he let her in so she could demonstrate her pirouette the first time she had perfectly done it (Adrian had made Yan, Kolya and Boris give her a standing ovation).

Rai Sokolov is everyone's go-to Aunt for anything their own parents aren't letting them do. Asher and Reina won't send their sons to another continent for college? Enrolls her own son to go with them. The girls want to go to a concert? Sends an army of disguised bodyguards with them. One of the kids is drunk and needs to be picked up? She's already buckling into her car.

Adrian and Lia are Vaughn's Godparents.

Mia Sokolov starts giving plants as birthday presents and nearly makes Kirill and Damien bust a lung from laughter when she gives Adrian a cactus.

Karina Morozova has the reputation for giving the most bizarre gifts that the kids end up loving. Rents out an entire theater for Annika's birthday party. Buys all the game-machines in an arcade for Vaughn. Tells Maya they are going shopping for her birthday and flies her to Paris for it. Sees Jeremy reading bl when he's home from college one time and buys him an entire boxful of yaoi comics with a "I dog earmarked some of my favorites" note. She's extra that way and they all love it.

Damien, Adrian, Kyle and Kirill also have a group chat that Adrian has tried leaving multiple times. When Annika and Mia get boyfriends, Damien is laughing so hard at their predicament that Adrian reveals his daughter's secret relationship with the Pakhan's eldest son and then leaves the group. Again.

Lidiya Morozova becomes the first woman Pakhan after her uncle dares anyone to oppose her crowning with her getting backed up by four of the strongest Bratva families.

Vaughn and Kirill bond over making castles out of playing cards. They've spent lots of days, sitting cross-legged on the floor and stacking one card after another, using multiple decks. It's how he discovers his love for architecture.

Maya Sokolov is a natural at coding and hacking, but she finds it boring and even refuses Adrian's attempt to teach her to hone her skills.

Kyle is really good at magic tricks. Almost all the kids (minus natural cheaters, Maya and Gareth) fall for it even though some of them don't want to (Jeremy and Killian, they know it's a trick, but they can't prove it).

Naomi is not approving of Damien until she actually talks to him and realizes he's just a bakayaro.

Mia Sokolov is really good at escape rooms while Nikolai spends half the time going "That was a clue?"

Ilya Levitsky is only accepted into the family after he goes through extensive torture and lives on to say, "You can't keep me from her". He wins Kyle's respect with that.

Lia discovers that she's really good at drinking games when she's having a girl's night out with Sasha, Mio and Rai. She can throw darts with her eyes blindfolded.

The Volkovs have movie nights on Thursdays where the movies are decided based on a game of jenga. Annika swears she's not shaking the table (she is).

The Morozovs host the best sleepovers. We're talking Princess Diaries level of sleepovers with mattress surfing, vending and claw machines in the house and treasure hunts across the entire property.

The Orlovs are the best at throwing parties and love any occasion to do so. Cherry blossoms are blooming? Throw a party. His daughter got an A on her dictation? Throw a party. Someone bumped into Damien and he didn't kill them? Throw. A. Party.

The Carsons are the best at pretending they have no ties to the Bratva. You saw an army of bodyguards leaving their house? Must be the new interns Asher is hiring. Their oldest nephew has tattoos at the age of 11? But he loves drawings. Reina's twin is AWOL the whole time? She's just shy.

The Weavers are horrible at pretending they aren't related into some shady business.

The Sokolovs' house is synonymous with a common playground. Especially after Mia's kidnapping. If she's scared to go out and meet anyone else, ofcourse the rest of them are gonna come over at all times and spend time with her, it's only natural.

Don't even wanna promise a part two when I know I never commit but here's to hoping?

[lesbians4armand]

if you think the darkling drinks coffee black, like his soul , you are wrong. that boy has the biggest sweet tooth. i can almost guarantee that coffee is more cream and sugar and honey than coffee. that is a cavity in a cup. i just know

[ohdeadlynightshades]

Daily reminder we don’t know anything when it comes to Sun Summoners and their origins fills me with rage.

Ms. Bardugo, you were presented with an amazing opportunity of making Baghra’s sister—a nameless character supposedly important to the narrative—the very first Sun Saint, the one who spread the myth and make Alina her descendant… It would’ve made so much more sense. Saint Ilya could’ve conquered the darkness and the light and turned his daughters into his monsters. Instead you randomly decide to make Malyen an amplifier to add substance to your raspberry.

[feyres-divorce-lawyer]

aleksander morozova ahh message💀

[electroniccollectiondonut]

me any time someone hates on the darkling:

[sserrafeim]

The Darkling and I are married actually! We just like to stay out of the spotlight 🫶

[stheresya]

I get a little sad reading wwsf and seeing Ulla being all wary around Aleksander when they meet because i'm like nooo sweetie that's your big brother who was there when you were born and who kept coming back to Fjerda every summer in hopes of seeing you again because you're his sister and also one of the few people in the world who's somewhat like him and he wants is to connect with you and be a family😔 like i know his ominous manners are off-putting but it probably stung him a little to see Ulla being so mistrustful of him :(

Finding Perfection, a modern Darklina AU

wip, 45k, 16/31 chapters posted on AO3

Read chapter 1 here and the recently posted chapter 16 here.

Summary: Office worker Alina Starkov feels like her job is wearing her away, smothering her artistic ambitions. Businessman Aleksander Morozova has everything--except the perfect little wife to start a family with. He meets Alina by chance one day and realizes immediately that she is ideal for the job. She just needs a little training first. AKA, the modern AU wherein Sasha hires Alina in order to prepare her to become his wife. Not that she realizes his intention. She's just thrilled for the salary and the flexible hours.

When Mal asks if there is a course in "How to stop vapidly gaping" ?

Aleksander. "Don't you mean gaping and pouting?"

And Alina .....

[greensaplinggrace]

mal saying that without alina he would have been afraid of the dark when aleksander was afraid of the dark as a child. there is some crazy shit going on in my malarklina salad

[stromuprisahat]

Barfdugo really botched stuff with Baghra,lol. She aimed for a wise mentor and hit Walmart Gothel,lol.

She's what mother Gothel would be, if she herself had the Sundrop Flower's power, and kept refusing to sing the healing song, so Rapunzel doesn't want to leave her ever.

Baghra!Gothel wouldn't need the girl for eternal youth, she got her to keep her company. Aleksander!Rapunzel's locked up to stay exclusive.

Why do people call darkling sasha?

His birth name is revealed to be "Aleksander" in R&R (and it's also used in the show).

"Sasha" is a common slavic nickname for Aleksander. Trust me, I don't get why that's the short version/nickname either.

And people who like the Darkling call him Aleksander or even Sasha to counter all the dehumanizing of him the books love doing.

[ohdeadlynightshades]

Last night I was dreaming (it was a nightmare) that Leigh released a sneak peek of her new Darkling-centric book and… When I say in this new book she made him say a homophobic slur to one of his soldiers— and the discourse, dear fucking god ?? It was crazy. Unbelievable. Jesus.

[ackermental]

The way those shitty, lazy, terrible showrunners couldn't be bothered with actually explaining the worldbuilding of the books and writing the mechanics for their show's magical system, so they've just speedrun the entire amplifiers plotline and erased Grisha Orders, before those annoying viewers could even start asking stupid questions like: yeah, but what are those? Shouldn't you show us, what after sixteen episodes?

And now they can cut budget's costs on keftas as well!

The audacity of those slothful fuckers, whining about viewership on Twitter after doing absolutely nothing for both characters and fans of the series.
