@wafflesandkruge said it first im just putting it here
It’s finally time to share my first piece for the @grishaversebigbang
The art is based on a fic by @dregstrash @wafflesandkruge and @rietveldbrothers (they’re all freaking legends istg, this story is insane!). You can find the fic on ao3 it’s a Zoyalai Top Gun Au… need I say more?
In no time at all, Zoya’s hands were wrapped around Nikolai’s waist as he drove them along the coast. The air was warm, and even with the wind roaring through her helmet, she thought she could hear the ocean. She rested her chin against his shoulder and watched the waves crash against the bluffs of a cliffside.
She could live here forever, she thought. The weather. The ocean. And Nik–
Excited to finally post my first piece for @grishaversebigbang based on @dregstrash, @wafflesandkruge & @rietveldbrothers fic "If I can't have love, I want power"

Oh, the familiar smell of her was making his head light. His hands twitched on his pool stick, like they were considering actually just taking her face and press his lips to hers. He could have actually done more than kiss her in the middle of this bar. But he saw just how tense her shoulders were under that bravado. Or maybe he was just projecting because he could feel the rigidity in his own spine.
If I can't have love, I want power

Summary:
Zoya didn’t need anyone. It was a lesson that had been burned into her after she’d let Nikolai into her life four years ago, and he’d responded by sabotaging her chances at Top Gun. When the best of the best are called back to North Island for a dangerous mission, Zoya and Nikolai must set aside the past and work together once again. But the heart is a tricky thing, and Zoya isn’t sure if she’s ready to let go of her grudges just yet…
AKA the love square meets top gun au with lots of pining, angst, and loaded history.

Matthias knew monsters, and one glance at Kaz Brekker had told him this was a creature who had spent too long in the dark – he’d brought something back with him when he’d crawled into the light.
Morning Doodle: “Each time I’ve taken the same route, just gone a little farther. What if the creature is trying to get to that spot on the Fold? What if it wants to be free of me as much as I want to be free of it?” (Leigh Bardugo’s King of Scars CH 9)

“What a safe way to live. What a small way, as well. You guard against pain. You guard against joy. But when you allow yourself to be blindsided by love… two worlds make a universe. He’s She’s not my weakness. He’s She’s my universe.”

“One arm was cushioning his head while the other hand was still curled loosely around a fountain pen that was slowly leaking ink onto the paper.”
