Last year's entries day 13: Fiora’s “Matters of the Heart” is a hilarious and sweet fic about Fedyor's attempts to bring Aleksander and Alina together (with a little help). It's canonverse with a little more of a period feel to it that's just lovely! archiveofourown.org/works/43753935

Last year's entries day 12: In “Until We Meet Again” by Fiora, Alina is reborn as different women, but everytime, Aleksander knows it’s her—his soulmate. He spends centuries waiting for a lifetime where she can be his, truly. It's heart wrenching and so soft. archiveofourown.org/works/43774876

Last year's entries day 11:  “The Ruffling of Feathers” by CorinaLannister, a steamy one shot, has Alina reminiscing about her relationship with Aleksander if the after Winter fête make-out session had gone differently. This great piece has some heartfelt smut.  archiveofourown.org/works/43923231

Last year's entries day 10: We all love a good Kribirsk-divergence, and EighteenQs, delivers in “Take All of Your Doubts (You can throw them out)." Alina quite literally runs into Aleksander after she tries to share her feelings with Mal, and opportunities arise. archiveofourown.org/works/43981135

Last year's entries day 9: “I’d Rather Watch My Kingdom Fall” by IceKatarina—as the tsar’s only daughter Alina must marry for her kingdom. Is marriage really her best choice, especially with her secret? This great royal au has romance and a hint of something more archiveofourown.org/works/43983478

Last year's entries day 8: Morning Musings by Marzanka involves Alina recalling what she knows of the Black General and what she knows of the man Aleksander Kirigan with whom she’s spent the night. It's a beautiful oneshot with some spice along with the sugar. archiveofourown.org/works/43947039

Last year's entries day 7: “Advent Romance” by Orlissa is a modern au where a closed coffee shop on Dec 1st leads to a meet-cute with Darkles and Sparkles immediately taken with one another. This is a lovely story told in tiny glimpses of the rest of the month. archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Last year's entries day 6: “Help I’m trapped inside a fortune cookie factory” by PresidentHades, is a hallmark-y modern au. Alina works part-time in her parents’ restaurant, and she has a favourite customer (with a great voice). A perfect fluffy read! archiveofourown.org/works/43967590

Last year's entries day 5: The 2022 entry “Of Clockwork and Sunlight, or Aleksander Morozova’s Surprise Encounter” by midwinterspring is a steampunk AU, in which Aleksander and Alina encounter each other while his camera needs to be repaired.  archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Last year's entries day 4: Last year’s entry “every part in it’s best light” by Silberias, has a regency-like society and a (seemingly) powerless Alina who has to enter an arranged marriage with a man she doesn’t know. But her father does… Have a look! archiveofourown.org/works/43910200

Last year's entries day 3: “Back to Mid-December” by ajofravka is a modern au, in which Alina and Aleksander celebrate their 5-year anniversary together. It has fluff and romance, some smut (rating: E) and Sasha who would lay down the world at Alina’s feet.  archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Last year's entries day 2: “Take Me Home” by ajofravka explores a what-if divergence from canon and starts directly after the attack on the skiff in episode 2. What could have gone differently? What if Alina’s fate changes here?  archiveofourown.org/collections/...

Last year's entries day 1: In “A moment too late” by AngstyThumbs, Alina and Mal are caught in a snowstorm while searching for the stag. And as Alina is freezing to death, Aleksander finds her…. archiveofourown.org/works/439526...
