Burn Like the Sun by Nila_Violet

Summary
**Previously: Moth to a Light, No Flame**
Aleksander was sure that with a pet sun summoner at his side, equipped with all 3 of Morozova's amplifiers, he'd be able to safely enter the fold and carry out his long awaited plans.
But, while the Volcra shied away at first, it wasn't long before one of them got close enough to realise the light wasn't actually harmful to them and attacked.
It's a humiliating retreat which several diplomats, his top Grisha and everyone in both Kribirsk and Novokribirsk witnessed first hand. They all quickly put 2 and 2 together and realise that if an untrained sun summoner riddled with wasting sickness was able to instinctively destroy a hoard of Volcra while injured, then she is either infinitely more powerful or their Fjerdan saint isn't what she says she is.
Now, with his reputation in ruins, Aleksander's only hope of making up for his mistake is to get Alina back on his side- this time without Morozova's amplifiers as a backup

A Curse Between Us
hanpersands
2014
Alina runs away with her son, Isaak, and after 15 years returns with her son to the Little Palace. Amazing scene when Aleksander attends the birth through the tether (and observes she is laboring a week early even though she never told him). And amazing confrontation scene where she threatens her own life to extract his promise to not harm the boy. He says maliciously, "Children are such delicate creatures." -
Are We Really Strangers? by just_another_fantasy

Summary
Centuries ago, the Darkling had indeed found the sun summoner. His only true equal… his wife. Together they worked to liberate the Grisha and usurp King Anastas before she was taken from him, killed to everyone’s belief. History forgets this sun summoner.
Time passes, and slowly steals memory of her from his mind.
It is four hundred years later when there is a new sun summoner found on the Unsea, a girl that reminds him so much of his lost lover. And so, the Darkling must question whether they are really strangers, or if fate is only playing cruel tricks on him.

Alina pulls the nichevoya from Aleksander. They have a daughter together. Beautiful descriptions of Aleksander teaching her how to control her light. Really good politicking scenes. -

Summary
She had thought she had lost him.
The silence after the battle had been too long, the Little Palace too empty, the fear too consuming.
But suddenly he was there—alive, standing.
Relief hit her like a blow. Desperation followed, hot and unrelenting. Before she could think, before she could breathe—she was moving.
Her hands found him, trembling against the ruined black of his Kefta. Solid. Warm. Real.
And then she kissed him.Series

Alina had been ready to pass on to wherever a soul went after death. She had lived through so much, seen the death of so many, and she was ready to let go.
Until the universe told her otherwise.
Now, she has to find a way to save him with no clue as to who he is.

Aka, the sorta fix-it fic that I wanted to write because the ending of Ruin and Rising literally broke my heart and I will actually cry. Rating will probably go up throughout the story.
