Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 3: Endgame
↳ It takes Alina less than a day away from Ravka to realise where her heart truly is. Nikolai’s smile upon her return is radiant, to say the least, and the ceremony is planned with haste.
After a true, quiet event during which the two trade vows, the public event is one with such pomp that for years it is the favourite event to talk about during tea.
Alina and Nikolai live a life together unlike any king and queen before them. With their reign being one of peace and technological advancement, bringing Ravka to a new age.

Nikolina Appreciation Week 2023 ♛ Day 2: Favourite AU - Sankta Alina & Sankt Nikolai
Ever since their first fateful meeting, Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai were drawn to each other's courage, kindness, and shared sense of purpose. Over time, their devout friendship blossomed into a deep and abiding love.
Their true test came when the Shadow Fold, began to spread across Ravka, threatening to engulf the entire land in eternal darkness. Along the way, despite enduring many perils, Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai never lost faith in each other or the sight of their duty. In the end, they succeeded in destroying the Shadow Fold and saving Ravka.
Alas, their victory came at a great cost. Both Sankta Alina and Sankt Nikolai were mortally wounded in the final battle but even as their bodies failed them, their spirits remained unbroken. Their love and legacy endured even beyond death. They have become revered as the patron saints of Ravka and protectors of its people.

I couldn’t help but smile.
“See?” he said. “If we’re not dead in a month, we might be very happy together.”
“Stop that,” I said, still grinning.
“What?”
“Saying the right thing.”

I don’t care if you think I’m a Saint or a fool or the Darkling’s whore. If you want to remain at the Little Palace you will follow me. And if you don’t like it, you will be gone by tonight, or I will have you in chains. I am a solider. I am the Sun Summoner. And I’m the only chance you have.

"I had been playing dolls and my sister had whined and howled and stamped her little feet until my mother insisted that I give over my favorite toy, a wooden swan carved by our father in one of the rare moments that he’d paid me any attention. It had wings so detailed they felt nearly downy and perfect webbed feet that kept it balanced in water. My sister had it in her hand less than a minute before she snapped its slender neck. (...) I lashed out at my sister. With the Cut. I tore her in two.”
