FEDYOR + REWRITTEN CANON.
this post includes fedyor’s major relationships, as well as my canon divergencies through the trilogy (including before and after the books as well). fedyor is mainly book based, though i am taking aspects from the show including his relationship with ivan + parts of his personality. otherwise though, i am headcanon based, as fedyor was much more of a background character, and i’m writing him as having survived through the ending of siege and storm / ruin and rising. i am exclusive to nick’s ivan, and shelley’s nina, and they play major parts in all events of fedyor’s canon. (under the cut for length, personals do not interact).
relationships:
the darkling. fedyor finished training a few years after ivan did, however was equal to his level of power (sans amplifier). however he didn’t catch the darkling’s eye only because of his power; because of the amount of time that fedyor spent with ivan, he was constantly around to gain his favor. the darkling found he was incredibly trustworthy, and while he doesn’t have the same favor that ivan does, fedyor still has more loyalty for the darkling than anyone else (except alina, when she comes into the picture). fedyor doesn’t have the title of oprichniki, at least officially, unlike ivan. but he is considered to be one of the oprichniki by ivan and the rest of the guards, as he is second to ivan. the darkling trusts him less as a personal guard, but more in the form of carrying out missions he’d trust few others with (like finding nina, though this isn’t something i have as part of my main canon).
ivan (@trustbutvcrify). when fedyor finished his training, he noticed everyone giving a wide berth to ivan, as he was known to be kind of a dick and he was the darkling’s favored heartrender. fedyor was not one to back down from a challenge, so he decided to sit with the older man, with friendship as a priority. it takes him awhile to realize he’s gone from just conversational to flirting, but when he does, he doesn’t stop, as on the off chance ivan is interested, at least he’s never pretended about his feelings. however, he wasn’t exactly focused on pursuing ivan, as he had nina to focus on, and it wasn’t priority in the grand scheme of things. after a battle with the fjerdans on the northern front that nearly resulted in fedyor’s death, ivan kissed him, and the two confessed feelings for each other. their hearts start to beat in sync as they get closer, and heartrenders who are listening can hear this. about six years before the events of the first book, ivan and fedyor are married in a very small ceremony, where nina is present as their flower girl. the two are separated after the events of shadow and bone, especially as their hearts begin to beat individually once again, and reunite during the fold’s fall in ruin and rising. fedyor never judged ivan for choosing the darkling’s side, and never held any animosity because of it; he’s just happy to have his husband safe and back with him.
nina (@eterneaty). fedyor is 19 years old when nina is brought to the little palace as a little girl. she already shows an incredibly amount of heartrender skill without training, and fedyor immediately feels sympathetic for the girl. he takes her under his wing and gives her additional training, while also looking out for her. nina gets her love for sweets from fedyor, and the two eat waffles often together while she’s growing up. both ivan and fedyor are like her father figures while she’s at the little palace. when nina starts to be sent on missions, fedyor is very scared for her, but he’s confident in her abilities because he helped to train her, and so did ivan. he is on the team sent to find and bring nina back (which occurs after the events of ruin and rising), but his concern isn’t in the form of betrayal to her country, but more betrayal to him, because he feels like she’s picking a fjerdan over her family. also, he is scared that things are going to go wrong, but there’s nothing he can do once she’s declared matthias a slaver.
alina. fedyor takes to calling alina solnyshka (little sun). the reason he defects from the darkling is in part due to her being “sun summoner” of myth, but also because she is a young girl and fedyor wants to keep her safe too. he is one of few who stays by her side, and that knows she is alive after her supposed martyrdom in the fold.
books:
shadow and bone. the events in the show with alina, genya, and fedyor are going to be added into fedyor’s main canon. the rescue of nina does not occur during this book. additionally, he does not defect until after ivan returns and the two talk.
siege and storm. alina tells fedyor about ivan nearly dying when the two are reunited, however does not speak negatively about ivan (in regards to him stopping her heart), as it isn’t her place to say that and ruin fedyor’s perception of his husband. fedyor insists that nina evacuate with the rest of the students while they are leaving, and she does so. fedyor does not die in the fight during nikolai’s birthday. instead, he is marred by the nichevo’ya, with one long and jagged scar across his chest and reaching up to his neck (visible above the neckline of a kefta), and lighter claw marks on his throat (where he was picked up and thrown from the rooftop). he survives the fall, and tamar manages to speed up his heart and wake him up. the rest of his scars and injuries are healed when he is brought to the white cathedral, but his scars from the nichevo’ya remains. he is one of few who is allowed to see genya, as he has similar scarring, but it’s still in very minimal amounts. he does not enjoy his time in the white cathedral, especially knowing alina is practically a prisoner.
ruin and rising. fedyor is present for the events of the book, traveling with the small grisha party alongside alina. he gets very close to both genya and zoya, seeing them in the same light as he did nina and alina, and finally being able to take care of the both of them too. he stays with genya and david when alina seeks out the firebird. when alina mentions that the darkling has the students as hostages, it only propels him into being ready to fight even more, knowing he would do anything to keep his daughter safe. during the battle with the darkling, him and ivan come face to face for the first time since the end of the first book, and ivan finally has the confidence to defect from the darkling, having been terrified he too could be punished like genya or sergei. they fight side by side, and as the fold falls, are together once more. they fly out on the ship with alina and the rest of the party, and are part of the understanding that alina was martyred in the fold. the two heartrenders reunite with nina outside the fold, and their family may be slightly more broken but they are together.
post series. fedyor and ivan take a little while to come to terms with everything, but they are still in love with each other as they always have been. fedyor struggles with the scarring on his chest, as even after the darkling is killed, the scarring is still deep and remaining. he visits alina with genya, david, and zoya during the winter fetes, as she is still just as important to him as she always was. a few months later, nina leaves for a mission, is captured by the fjerdans, and fedyor is part of the party sent to bring her home. the events play out similarly to the show. after the events of the books, fedyor continues to get very close to genya and zoya, and considers them family as well. eventually, when zoya informs him that nina is alive and in ketterdam, fedyor begins to write letters to her, hoping for a chance to apologize for everything. after the events of rule of wolves, they finally reunite.
