Sort of soulmates AU? But set in canon

And now, for my absolutely favorite one; fantasy AU, ongoing. Even though Zoyalai isn’t the main ship here (or has even appeared yet) this thing has me in a chokehold (as you’ll see from the comments)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/47124508/chapters/118728424

PS: this list was supposed to be shorter. But alas

PPS: I hope I din’t get any links mixed

PPPS: All links are correct!

PPPPS: Just realised I forgot to link one so here, have another Uni AU:

Anyone have some good Zoyalai fic recommendations?

Been thinking about this for a while because it wouldn't make sense to have them get along from the start canon wise

Do you know what would make sense? Having them hate each other (or well Zoya hate him since I'm pretty sure the hatred was one sided? I honestly don't remember) at first but then Kaz makes a snarky comment about someone, Zoya, without thinking about who made the comment, found it funny and added her own sass in the mix. Then, when she realizes, they kinda stare at each other (with mild dread and disgust on Zoya's part) and without acknowledging anything they just keep the judgement coming, a bit tentatively at first but more confidently as they learn to respect (again, mostly on Zoya's part. I'm like 99% sure Kaz was always neutral about Zoya, I DON'T REMEMBER) each other

Meanwhile, Nikolai and Inej (and literally everyone else) are quaking in their boots in the background because the day Kaz and Zoya team up will be the end of literally everything

whenever people think about kanej and zoyalai double dates, they think Inej and Nikolai bonding over pirating while Zoya is about to pummel Kaz for being, well, Kaz, but I've always loved the idea of them being in the corner judging everyone nearby. that guy has a red button up on? so last season. that person just tripped? they're laughing their asses off. that lady just got arrested for theft? rookie mistake.

I'm currently doing an online art school program and I thought I'd share some notes on clothing pieces for anyone else whose like me and for some reason can't understand objects with free from lol I hope you find some of these observations/ notes useful for any of your art journeys!

It's all in the eyes 👀

Ok so

I was reading a text for my Russian class (thank you Gogol) and a new au was born

Artist!Nikolai

It doesn't have to be full time, can be just a hobby but. He's new to painting, he's pretty good, but still figuring things out

So at some point he and Zoya meet, casually hook up but then it ends up being a not one time thing (shocker!) but still "casual" (and I'm a unicorn)

So at some point either Zoya asks him to paint her ("like one of your French girls") or he asks permission to paint her as practice (haven't decided which one I like more yet)

Long story short, Zoya is used to (and at this point expects) people only noticing her looks and is absolutely speechless when she sees the end result and how little emphasis Nikolai put on her looks (he was experimenting with colors, lighting etc. and "painting" his feelings for her, if you will). At first he thinks she hates it because of her expression but Zoya is just but at emotions so she just kisses him instead

And yeah that's basically it
