Summary
“I’m on a pilgrimage!” Alina said. “It’s just… it’s what we do! All the eldest and most staid of my sisters have done it. We get restless, and we know it’s time to fall, so we come down here and we find the thing that completes us, whatever we lack that has left us feeling so out of sorts. A purpose. And I came down here, and everyone immediately seemed so certain of my purpose, of what I could do, and who I came here for. You all handed me the instructions on your doorstep. So I thought it would be easy!"

Alina isn't a Sun Summoner, but a fallen star. The only problem is, no one knows that fallen stars are a thing that exist - least of all the Black Heretic.
[A sort-of-but-not-really Stardust AU].

So frickin’ good! At first I just enjoyed the hilarity of Aleksander getting his flabbers gasted by Alina’s eccentricity, but then the plot got more serious. Two words: Blown. Away. Love prevails! An inherent element to Darklina is that they will always be at odds with each other because of the differences in their morality, but in this fic Alina just kinda bulldozes over that, and I like it. And she’s more powerful so it’s not as if Sasha could threaten her. Within these circumstances, two stubborn souls fall in love and get their fairy tale ending.
