Favorite Pairing of All Time → Mal Oretsev & Alina Starkov
He looked at me then, and his eyes were deep blue in the twilight. “Did you miss me, Alina? Did you miss me when you were gone?”
“Every day,” I said honestly.
“I missed you every hour. And you know what the worst part was? It caught me completely by surprise. I’d catch myself walking around to find you, not for any reason, just out of habit, because I’d seen something that I wanted to tell you about or because I wanted to hear your voice. And then I’d realize that you weren’t there anymore, and every time, every single time, it was like having the wind knocked out of me. I’ve risked my life for you. I’ve walked half the length of Ravka for you, and I’d do it again and again and again just to be with you, just to starve with you and freeze with you and hear you complain about hard cheese every day. So don’t tell me we don’t belong together,” he said fiercely.

Again, the Darkling shook his head. “You two make it so easy. I prick him, you bleed.”
“And you can’t begin to understand that, can you?”
He reached out and tapped the Morozova’s collar, letting his fingers brush the skin of my throat. Even that faint touch opened the connection between us, and a rush of power vibrated through me like a bell being struck.
“I understand enough,” he said softly.
yes to this

“I work for the fattest purse.”
“So you’d sell your country to the Darkling for a little gold?”
“No, for a lot of gold,” he said blithely.
“I assure you, I don’t come cheap.”
Second Sturmhond fancasting! And dude. That fox has a bird in its mouth. Word.
Leigh when you think of Alina, what actress do you personally think would best fit Alina appearance wise? All acting experience aside, just on looks alone.
So… here’s the deal. There are a couple of actresses I have in mind. But I don’t feel comfortable naming them BECAUSE
if and when we get to casting, the likelihood that one of those actresses will be the pick? very small. I think there’s already enough pressure and expectation without someone carrying around the burden of what was in my head.
Also, I like to know what readers picture without me getting in the way :)

Siege and Storm Chapter 1&2...
Siege and Storm Chapter 1&2 fanmix
This will never end/Cause I want more/More, give me more/Give me more/If I had a heart I could love you/If I had a voice I would sing/After the night when I wake up/I’ll see what tomorrow brings/If I had a voice, I would sing
Long lost words whisper slowly to me/Still can’t find what keeps me here/When all this time I’ve been so hollow inside/I know you’re still there/Watching me, wanting me/I can feel you pull me down/Fearing you, loving you/I won’t let you pull me down
And there’s no remedy for memory your face is/Like a melody, it won’t leave my head/Your soul is haunting me and telling me/That everything is fine/But I wish I was dead/Every time I close my eyes/It’s like a dark paradise
Landscape (Florence & The Machine):
She can’t see the landscape anymore/It’s all painted in her grief/All of her history etched out at her feet/Now all of the landscape, it’s just an empty place/Acres of longing, mountains of tenderness
*claps hands* a fanmix for the first two chapters! this makes me so happy.

Because she knew when she slept, she would dream. Sometimes she dreamed of broken skiffs with black sails and decks slick with blood, of people crying out in the darkness. But worse were the dreams of a pale prince who pressed his lips to her neck, who places his hands on the collar that circled her throat and called forth her power in a blaze of bright sunlight.
