Pairing: Aleksander Morozova x Alina Starkov Rating: M. (will most definitely change to E. in the future)
Summary: She accepted because she wanted to save her friends. She accepted because she was Ravka’s only hope of restoring the monarchy. We look back upon their reign and we know, through many bumps and tribulations, they were born to ascend this fate.

word count: 50k words on first chapter alone, so umm, pls mind that.
For a master spy who sticks to the ironclad rule of never letting his emotions show, Twilight sure lets his guard down so easily around Yor. And the thing is, he doesn’t even put much effort in keeping his walls up, it’s like Yor showing genuine raw emotions melts away his stoicness. He doesn’t even stop himself from telling her stuff about his past because she is so genuine when as a spy his past shouldn’t exist anymore because he’s just a shadow.
I believe he likes that; letting his guard down Yor and telling her his past, because when he’s around Yor, he feels seen as a human being.
This is the perfect introduction to Gojo as the protagonist of this arc as it shows him mocking the weak.
Yet at the same time, he rushes to save Utahime and even forgets putting up a curtain cuz he genuinely does care about people alot more than he’d like to let on ☺
