Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 3: Endgame

                    ↳ It takes Alina less than a day away from Ravka to realise where her heart truly is. Nikolai’s smile upon her return is radiant, to say the least, and the ceremony is planned with haste.                    After a true, quiet event during which the two trade vows, the public event is one with such pomp that for years it is the favourite event to talk about during tea.                   Alina and Nikolai live a life together unlike any king and queen before them. With their reign being one of peace and technological advancement, bringing Ravka to a new age.

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 2

↳ Favorite AU│Alina & Nikolai meet in the first army

Do Not Forget The words were knives and as Alina fiddled with her little token she wondered if he would be the one to remember her at all. He was a prince after all, a second son with the need to prove himself. He'd give everything for his country, for the crown. Will he even call her sunshine? When they'd see each other again - if they ever saw each other again, will his lips curl up into the familiar teasing smirk she had gotten accustomed to seeing the past couple of months? Or will his skin have shed and be replaced with one the generals of the army wear? “I'm a fox, sunshine, not a snake.” He'd probably say and laugh if he knew her thoughts Yet the foxes they had seen a year ago were still in area. The cubs her and Nikolai had helped were now grown and hunting. Nikolai was gone, yet the foxes lingered. This is their home. Just like the Grand Palace is Nikolai's. Alina wondered what that would be like, to have a home, a place to go back to.

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 2: Favourite AU - Sankta Alina & Sankt Nikolai

Ever since their first fateful meeting, Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai were drawn to each other's courage, kindness, and shared sense of purpose. Over time, their devout friendship blossomed into a deep and abiding love.

Their true test came when the Shadow Fold, began to spread across Ravka, threatening to engulf the entire land in eternal darkness. Along the way, despite enduring many perils, Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai never lost faith in each other or the sight of their duty. In the end, they succeeded in destroying the Shadow Fold and saving Ravka.

Alas, their victory came at a great cost. Both Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai were mortally wounded in the final battle but even as their bodies failed them, their spirits remained unbroken. Their love and legacy endured even beyond death. They have become revered as the patron saints of Ravka and protectors of its people.

NIKOLINA APPRECIATION WEEK 2023 ♛ DAY 1: Favorite quote

I couldn’t help but smile.

“See?” he said. “If we’re not dead in a month, we might be very happy together.���

“Stop that,” I said, still grinning.

“What?”

“Saying the right thing.”

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 1

↳ Favorite Quote

Zoya leaned back and cast him a long look. “Don’t tell me you’re still mourning the loss of our little Sun Saint?”

Of course he was. He’d liked Alina, maybe he’d even started to love her. And maybe some arrogant part of him had simply expected her to say yes.

He was a king, after all, and a passable dancer. But she’d known the Darkling better than anyone. Maybe she’d sensed what was festering inside him.

Years had passed, and yet her rejection still stung.

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 1: Favourite Quote

                     ↳ He leaned in, giving me time to pull away. I could feel his breath when he said, “I love it when you quote me.” He brushed his lips over mine once, briefly, then again. It was less a kiss than the promise of one. “When you’re ready,” he said.

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 1: Favourite quote “Please tell me you plan to dress up as a volcra and jump out of a cake.” “Well, now you’ve ruined the surprise.” He pushed off the railing. “I need to pilot us over the border.” “The border?” “We’re heading into Fjerda.” “Oh, good. Enemy territory. And here I was starting to relax.”
