@korolevnas asked: ❛  believe it or not, your opinion means a great deal to me.  ❜
❛⠀⠀⠀My dearest Alina, I would be terribly offended if it did not.⠀⠀⠀After all, I am excellent at giving advice of all sorts!⠀⠀⠀I'm starting to think maybe I should be offended. ⠀ ⠀ ❜ ⠀ ⠀ Nikolai quickly abandons that line of musing, the lines of humor and mockery in his features softening as he guided her towards one of the chairs in his room, fingers brushing quickly across her back.
Nikolai knew what she meant. ⠀ ⠀ For he felt the same way. ⠀ ⠀ Everyone had an opinion, all of them thought they were right and that their plan would be the solution for solving all of Ravka's problems. ⠀ ⠀ And of course they were the ones who had to hear it; ⠀ ⠀ the saint and the prince, the remaining symbols of power in a country with a crumbled monarchy, surrounded and infected by a darkness of unimaginable proportions. ⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀
Tumblr media
In this cacophony of voices and opinions, it was hers he wished to hear first.
❛⠀⠀⠀Tell me. ⠀ ⠀ How can I help you? ⠀ ⠀ ❜

ASSASSIN’S QUEST.
@korolevnas asked: ❛  to bear my sorrow is one thing. to bring sorrow to you is another.  ❜
Tumblr media
HE CAN hear the true regret in her voice , the hidden apology . and the smile he offers her is small , friendly . he reaches for her arm , gives it a squeeze .
❝ you don't bring me sorrow , alina . i'm not a fool . i knew what i was agreeing to , after everything that happened . i'm not some monster - ❞ his brain flickers but it's brushed away swiftly ❝ - that would demand your feelings shift so quickly . i know you love mal . trust me , i get it . if he looked at me like that , i'd probably fall in love with him too , ❞ he teases . but he goes softer . ❝ all this to say - - - i don't regret it . i am glad to marry you , even if it - if we - never are more than anything but friends . ❞
only some of it is a lie .

@korolevnas asked: ❛ you frustrate me incredibly. ❜ for kolya!
Tumblr media
Nikolai was perched against a pillar, hip canted to support his crossed ankles. He was the very image of relaxation, hair gleaming in the sunlight streaming through the windows like fool's gold. He'd been smiling ; that smile grew wider as she spoke, gleaming white teeth giving off a boyish charm he'd perfected over the years.
"So you admit I spend time being on your mind?" The spark in his brown eyes betrayed his playfulness. "Don't tease me like that, you'll start giving me hope." Kolya pushed himself away from the pillar and as he straightened, it was as if the mask lowered a few inches ; revealing a kingly seriousness he did not often let drift to the surface - but he did, then, for the sun saint.
He took one of her hands in his ; squeezed before holding on lightly. She could pull away from his touch as she pleased. "I promise I have everything under control, Alina." He leaned in - just a smidge, as if conspiring. "I don't want to keep secrets, but I fear the walls have ears, these days."

Tumblr media
Deft fingers glided over the spines of every book on the shelf she was surveying. Another sleepless night to her dismay, but at least she could use the time to properly educate herself on Ravkan politics and history. As much as she wanted it to be, simply setting the enemy on fire would not be a wise solution to every Ravkan problem.
She searched the shelf until she found the book she wanted. She reached for it and expected to take it right off the shelf but felt a force keeping it in place--or pulling it back. Huffing, Lark gripped the book and gave it a hard tug. Whoever was pulling it would not win against her. She tugged it again and felt it give way. She nearly stumbled back. Letting out another huff, she glared at the bookshelf.
" Apparat, if that is you I'm going to shove my foot so far up your--" she looked into the space where the book once resided and to her horror she saw the Sun Summoner ( @korolevnas ) .
She quickly moved to the other side of the bookcase and gave a respectful bow to Alina.
" My apologies, Alina. I didn't realize it was you." she held the book out to her. " Here, take it...for the trouble."

@korolevnas​  asked: “I didn’t know where else to go.”
Tumblr media
“Sankt-” He cut himself off as quickly as he could. Immediately he opened his door wider, giving her as much room to get in as fast as he could. “What are you doing in the Barrel? Can I help?”

@korolevnas liked. alina starkov ➵ sarah fortune.
Tumblr media
❝ 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐯, 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩. we welcome you with open arms. ❞ captain fortune is a sight to behold to most –– a tall woman armed to to teeth with pistols tucked neatly into both leather boots, their barrels a gorgeous bronze etched and engraved in what could either be runes or the names of her enemies. she doesn't like to confirm or deny, but rather let the rumor mill spin for her.
❝ captain lantsov speaks highly of your abilities. hope you don't mind getting your hands dirty. ❞ sarah tilts her head, appraising the young woman before her with keen eyes. ❝ how much did nikolai teach you of sailing, if you don't me asking? ❞

@korolevnas asked: ❛ bullet wounds don’t just miraculously heal overnight. ❜ for the outsider!
Tumblr media
Eyes devoid of any white looked at the young woman now. How quaint, the Outsider thought, a saint and a God in one place at the same time. What made them so? The corner of his bloodless mouth quirked. The hand of man. The hand of man, indeed.
"So they don't," said the Outsider, his voice surprisingly normal for what he had come to represent, some 4000 years prior. The face of chaos, an agent of trickery, neither good nor bad. He simply was. "Neither do knives across throats and swords through chests." The former he was intimately familiar with.
His head tilted to the side as arms spread, a grand gesture. "That is, ordinarily. But you are not ordinary, are you?"

REPOST & LIST 6 SONGS THAT INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSE.
Tumblr media
Oh Sailor - Mr Little Jeans And if you're tired of them, telling you what to do / I hope you know that you could sail right on / I hope you know you got the ocean blue
Broken Crown - Mumford & Sons So crawl on my belly 'til the sun goes down / I'll never wear your broken crown / I can take the road and I can fuck it all away / But in this twilight, our choices seal our fate
Promiseland - Mika I was born in that summer when the sun didn't shine / I was given the name that doesn't feel like it's mine / Lived my life as the good boy I was told I should be / Prayed every night to a religion that was chosen for me
Dear Fellow Traveler - Sea Wolf And I returned to my beautiful city / Black skies change into blue / And though my love is so wise and so pretty / Some nights I'll still dream of you
Go the Distance - Disney's Hercules I have often dreamed of a far off place / Where a hero's welcome would be waiting for me / Where the crowds would cheer, when they see my face / And a voice keeps saying this is where I'm meant to be
Eyes Open - Taylor Swift So here you are / Two steps ahead and stayin' on guard / Every lesson forms a new scar / They never thought you'd make it this far
& 6 QUOTES THAT INSPIRE YOU TO WRITE YOUR MUSE.
Tumblr media
“I hope you weren’t looking to me to be the voice of reason. I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret.”
“Anything worth doing always starts as a bad idea.”
“When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable."
"I like to have powerful enemies. Makes me feel important.”
“Because I am greedy for the sight of you. Because the prospect of facing this war, this loss, without you fills me with fear. Because I find I don’t want to fight for a future if I can’t find a way to make a future with you.”
“Nikolai had been told that hope was dangerous, had been warned of it many times. But he’d never believed that. Hope was the wind that came from nowhere to fill your sails and carry you home.”
