Chapter 3: Take my Hand, I'll drown you with me.

Ao3 Link Summary: The Darkling besieges the Spinning Wheel, chaos rages, and all the best plans are laid to waste. It is up to the team to regroup as best they can, and for the Too-clever Fox to begin to grapple with something inside him. Tws: The Darkling is his own Trigger Warning, violence, gore, the work of the Nichevo'ya.

Pre/Post Notes:

This is a long chapter, so strap in! I might eventually split the two up, but that depends. Enjoy! This chapter's title is taken from the song So Human of You.

Chapter snippet below the cut

Shall I show you what I see, Little Saint?

Alina’s vision went white, and she watched with horrified eyes what the Darkling saw from his birds-eye view, where he hovered above the Spinning wheel. Held aloft by his Nichevo’ya, he was an angel of Darkness, and it suited him, she had to admit. 

The Nichevo'ya, with their screeches and nightmarish claws, were throwing themselves against the glass windows, which were spider webbing with cracks. Not even Zoya and Nadia could throw them back. Where one fell, another three took its place. Harshaw’s inferni powers burned through one, but he shrieked in rage as another’s claws tore through his shoulder blade.

Adrik fell headlong, and he got his arm ripped clean off. His screams filled the air, and all through the hell, as the cries of the Grisha children filled the air, the Darkling laughed. 

See, Alina. This is what defiance is. Now, imagine this all over Ravka. I will make you bend the knee, Little Saint. You will live nowhere but in my court. Oh, I will make you suffer. Your little rebellion is burning around you. And, even better, you cannot even summon!

The view she was witnessing changed, and she nearly vomited all over the floor at the sudden shift in perspective and direction. She found herself back at Nikolai’s side, except she was seeing it through the eyes of a hulking Nichevo’ya at the other end of the hallway . Dominik’s bullets did nothing, nor did Nikolai’s.

She watched his fingers reach for the gold epaulets on his shoulders, and she heard an audible crunch as something happened. Whatever remained of the epaulet was shoved down the barrel of his pistol, and Alina felt the Nichevo’ya’s cry in her bones as the bullet rang true.

This one burned.

The lights around them flickered erratically. The pipes groaned in their casings. Somewhere, Alina smelled burning. She’d no idea if it was flesh or fuel. Gunfire rang out, screams accompanying it. Colonel Nevsky and the 22nd were going to be slaughtered.

“Stop this!” Alina screamed.

“Why should I?” The tether snapped, and Alina hit the ground with a sickening thud.

I was wondering why that sounded so damned familiar!

#I'm obsessed with the fact that Jackie and Ruby go to the same bar, which could mean nothing.

To get $100, you must spend two hours discussing Supernatural with another person (spin the wheel).

[Gandhi] gira todos los días durante 1 hora, comenzando generalmente a las 4. Todos los miembros de su ashram deben girar. Él y sus seguidores animan a todos a girar. Incluso M. B-W se animó a poner [aparte] de su cámara para girar. . . . Cuando comenté que tanto la fotografía como el spinning eran artesanías, me dijeron en serio, “El mayor de los 2 está girando.” Spinning se eleva a las alturas casi de una religión con Gandhi y sus seguidores. La rueda giratoria es una especie de Ikon para ellos. El spinning es una cura para todos, y se habla en términos de la poesía más alta.

80 years ago today, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was assassinated. This iconic photo of Gandhi at his spinning wheel was shot by the legendary Margaret Bourke-White in 1946. In typed notes that accompanied Bourke-White’s film when it was sent from India to LIFE’s New York offices in the spring of 1946, the significance of the simple spinning wheel in the photo is made abundantly clear: ____

“[Gandhi] spins every day for 1 hr. beginning usually at 4. All members of his ashram must spin. He and his followers encourage everyone to spin. Even M. B-W was encouraged to lay [aside] her camera to spin… . When I remarked that both photography and spinning were handicrafts, they told me seriously, "The greater of the 2 is spinning.” Spinning is raised to the heights almost of a religion with Gandhi and his followers. The spinning wheel is sort of an Ikon to them. Spinning is a cure all, and is spoken of in terms of the highest poetry.“ (Margaret Bourke-White—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #LIFElegends #Gandhi #MargaretBourkeWhite

Fun fact! I drove 3 hours with my mom to get this spinning wheel. I have absolutely no idea how old she is but she was hand made by someones uncle. I call her Oma since that's whats etched into the lazy Kate that I also got from the nice old lady who sold it to me.
