Nina Is So Fun To Write, In My Fic I Gave Her A Girlfriend And She Is Probably Connected To Five Different
Nina is so fun to write, in my fic I gave her a girlfriend and she is probably connected to five different political/underground networks. Here’s a NINA section from Episode Two!
NINA
NOVOKRIBIRSK, WEST RAVKA
[She wears her red kefta and reads a letter in RAVKAN with the letterhead of an eclipse. SCENE change to NINA in a meeting with ZLATAN and a few WEST RAVKAN military personnel.]
ZLATAN: Still no response from the East?
SOLDIER 1: None from this morning’s river barge, sir.
ZLATAN: (staring intently) They’re up to something. ZENIK, what of the cartographer’s progress?
NINA: She still won’t talk, sir. She needs more time.
ZLATAN: I gave you one task.
NINA: The brain is a complex system, especially given stress. Would you rather have her experience a stroke instead?
ZLATAN: (rolls his eyes) I want her information by eighteen bells.
NINA: (frowns) Yes, sir.
[Scene changes to NINA walking OUTSIDE past large tents and wooden structures for housing. A long shot shows an Inferni with wild red hair and blue kefta standing guard outside a small tent.]
NINA: Harshaw. (NINA smiles and nods at him) Any stirrings from her?
HARSHAW: Not a peep.
[HARSHAW winks and walks off as NINA enters the tent. INSIDE, FEMALE CARTOGRAPHER lays on a solitary cot, motionless. NINA softly smiles and she sits down on the edge of the cot.]
FC: Is he gone?
NINA: It’s just us, love.
[FC jolts up and hugs and kisses NINA. Her name is MORANA, who is disguised as FC. They break apart.]
NINA: I missed you too. (another kiss)
MORANA: How am I doing?
NINA: ZLATAN doesn’t suspect a thing. What did you find out?
[The camera focuses on who we thought was FC but we see that her once brown eyes are morphed with some blue spots, and strands of her hair and eyebrows have darkened in odd places.]
MORANA: (counting off on her fingers) Her name is Ruby. VERY pious, has all twenty-three Saints’ prayers memorized—
NINA: MORANA, the important bits dearest I don’t need her life story.
MORANA: (cheeks redden) Right. The delay with the skiff. She said…(pause) the Sun Summoner saved her.
NINA: You’re sure? But those are just stories!
MORANA: (nods) Some other cartographer…Alina Starkov.
NINA: (serious expression) Alina Starkov…A Sun Saint in the hands of the Crown is dangerous.
MORANA: It would sway the people to them instead of accepting the secession. Does the Black General know about Ruby?
NINA: (shakes her head and hands her the letter with the eclipse symbol) The GENERAL wanted me to kill her…I’m not doing that to a girl just trying to survive.
MORANA: She’ll be on the ship to Ketterdam by tonight.
NINA: Good. I’ll inform ZLATAN of the Sun Summoner.
[They hold each other’s hands as the SCENE transitions to a map of EAST RAVKA. A sketch of a carriage follows a path outlined in bones, halfway between the FOLD and OS ALTA (which has a picture of a palace)]

This is a great fic, a very fun Zoyalina read
Anon prompted me with ‘Floorboards’ for Zoyalina. Thank you!
This was the most challenging prompt so far; I wanted to get it just right, but it was a lot of fun writing for the two of them.
Full fic on AO3 here!
Preview:
Letting the glow in her hand dissipate into nothing, Alina stepped into the shafts of moonlight, looking down at her feet as if she were stepping into an ocean. There was no cold wetness around her toes, but to her surprise she could feel the light where it hit her skin. Moonlight was just reflected sunlight, after all, and she was the Sun Summoner.
She gave a little huff of awed breath, wiggling her toes in the light.
‘This room is already taken for brooding.’
The voice came from nowhere, and Alina startled as the words echoed around the empty ballroom, her hands coming up defensively as she called a ball of light to her hands.
‘Oh please,’ came the voice again, and Alina only half relaxed as she saw Zoya, leaning against the wall by one of the arched windows. ‘Word is you can barely light a doorway on your own. What are you going to do with that?’
Need a Darklina edit to ariana grandes song “eternal sunshine” !!!! 💕🥰
Hello! You’re the first ask on this blog! It’s an honor to “meet” ya! Thanks so much for the song and edit rec! I just listened to “eternal sunshine”…about ten times in a row. I hadn’t heard it before and it was cool!
Anyone interested: HERE are the lyrics for the above mentioned song by Ariana Grande, and below is a lyric video I found:
This song I am definitely adding to my “S&B Rewrite Playlist” as I am writing the Darkling and Alina very differently, but this song is helping me bring to mind some scenes that come down the line (mostly in S2 though so we got awhile.)
An edit to this song is a bit out of my tech knowledge…also I’m in the habit lately of mostly doing wlw edits…but other dear fan artists/editors…can you help the anon out?
You’ll probably have to look for some other people for Darklina stuff but thanks so much for the idea and song rec!

Nina,to Zoya: But I can change him-
Zoya: Why, did he shit himself?
Hello there reader of this post!
I am here to wish you a happy new year!
I hope your year went great and I hope every bit that didn't only goes away this new year 🎊
I love you ALL SO MUCH. Every last one of you! I can't believe I have reached anyone let alone multiple hundreds of people who love the same things I do.
It's surreal and I couldn't be more grateful.
I genuinely hope everyone of you has a great new year and I hope to provide you with some entertainment no matter how small from behind this screen <3
"Who's afraid of little old me?" — Well, you should be
You don't get to tell me you feel bad
Isn't that what they all said? <…> That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrong
Then say they didn't do it to hurt me But what if they did? <…> And you hurt me And you taught me
HERE is a link to a really good Zoyalina fan edit
