Winter in the Little Palace by redsixwing for gryfeathr

Summary
Written for Yuletide 2020.
Baghra and Alina's wildly different perspectives on the Darkling, and how things could have gone if nobody listened to Baghra.
Warning: Baghra is written as a harsh and arguably abusive parent, and this is darkfic about that relationship, with a side of shipping. Everything is terrible (except the parts that are pretty much okay).
Canon divergence pretty much as soon as Alina gets lessons in summoning.
This fic is likely not compatible with King of Scars (or any subsequent work).

Summary
Alina chose her future and maybe now that she's here, maybe now that she's got it in her grasp, maybe she realizes she made the wrong choice.
There is no right and wrong in black and white letters, but there are two sides, one lighter gray than the other... And she grabs onto those shades and she sacrifices it all for the chance to go back and make it better. The war is over and the nation's crumbling, but if Alina has anything to say about it, everything will be different the second time around... except.
Alina doesn't go back to the day she met her greatest enemy or the day she stumbled into an orphanage. She wakes up in a time she's never lived surrounded by the village of a boy she once knew as a man who held shadows in his bare hands and commanded armies and entire nations... And he's a child who looks at her with eyes full of light.
And their story's entire plot changes.
