Dark Blood and Light Masterlist

Hello, this is my first post ever, so please forgive me if I am going to make a few mistakes in the beginning.

I have decided to write a fanfiction for one of my favorite characters ever: The Darkling from Shadow and Bone.

In the next few days I am going to post a few things beforehand (for the story) and I hope you will read them!

The cover for “Dark, Blood and Light” a Aleksander Morozova Fanfiction.

Foreword

Dark Blood and Light Masterlist

Hello everybody out there, I am so happy, that YOU found my story!

Unfortunately I am not that great with writing forewords, mostly because I believe the majority of you won't even read through this small paragraph. Nevertheless I still want to write one, since I want to mention a few things beforehand that are necessary in consideration of this story.

If your not interested to read this, then just skip this chapter, but do not say I didn't warn you!

As you might have already read on my cover, this story is a fanfiction about the „Shadow and Bone- Series" from Leigh Bardugo. But this story purely revolves around the book-series and not the tv-series. Personally I have watched the tv-series, but I have read the books first and want to make this as accurate as possible. So if you were hoping to see Kaz Brekker or any other six of crows character I am sorry to disappoint you. Luckily I have decided to write a fanfiction about the six of crows series as well, which will come out soon enough!

After the first book I immediately fell in love with the darkling and (since I am kind of a fangirl myself) I looked up for stories for this amazing (morally grey) character. Instantly I noticed that even though he seems to be a favourite, there still weren't a lot of stories about him. That's why I decided why not write my own series with a love story for one of my favourite characters!

Now to the important stuff: English is not my native language, which means I haven't read the books in english either. Moreover with English not being my native language there are bound to be grammar, spelling and orthography mistakes. I try not to make as many and I promise I control my texts beforehand, but there can always be typos, they happen to everyone and apparently they just seem to love me very much. If you happen to notice some, please inform me of them so I can correct them, but please do so in a friendly polite way. Another thing with me not having read the English version, there might be some dialogs which will sound different than in the books, since I will be translating them from German to English. Please forgive me for that!

Since I am still young (17) and I still go to school, I am going to be pretty busy throughout the year. That is why I want to inform you beforehand,that I will probably update irregular and depending on how much time I have, it could take a long while till my next update for this story.

If you want you will also be able to find this story on wattpad under graceful_bumblebee (in a few days I will update the same post I uploaded here).

I only own my protagonist and I hope you can give her a chance!

Now I have talked far enough! Enjoy the story which will begin in the next few chapters.

Just out of interest, the ones who read all my blabbering could write a „🩸" in the comments.

Have fun reading!

Maps

Dark Blood and Light Masterlist

This is the general map of the shadow and bone series, but it will manly play in Ravka.

In the map below this, the main places (for the first act) are marked (example: Os Alta, since the majority of the first act plays there).

Something I spend a lot of time thinking about is that no one in the Shadow and Bone fandom seems capable of comprehending that Baghra was an abusive piece of shit and The Darkling was even more so.

I've seen people talk about how Baghra's terrible parenting had a profound effect on The Darkling. I've heard people say that The Darkling was a terrible person and completely irredemable. Although I've never seen both statements mentioned relative to each other, both are equally true.

I've also seen people use Baghra's abuse to try and absolve The Darkling of responsibility. These people make it seem like it was inevitable that he groomed Alina, killed and tortured hundreds, orchestrated the conditions that led to Genya's abuse, and did countless other terible things. It was not.

Baghra absolutely abused Alexandr. She absolutely was a terrible person. But she didn't make her son do anything. Every choice The Darkling made was his own.

Also, the people who talk about Baghra's cruelty only ever mention Alexandr. They never mention the countless other children she physically and verbally abused.

None of those children grew up to be war criminals, though they were victims just as much as Alexandr. Being abused doesn't make you make you abuse other people. It's your choices that do.

At the end of the day, Baghra Morozova was a terrible, horrible, abusive piece of shit. But The Darkling was worse than her in every way.
