(If you like malina and darklina have you considered: malarklina? π)
It's super cool to see someone both in the AoS and SaB fandom! Glad you're enjoying the show :)
Oh my gosh, hiii, and what a freaking awesome ask to get!! ππππ It's fab to be in both of those fandoms, honestly - they both just gladden my heart so very much, it's the actual best and I am SO happy to be here!!
Now onto your question: Malarklina (though, come on, Malarklina, surely we can do better than that? What about Darkmalina? Or even Malinaleksander?) ANYWAY. Yes, that - wow, gosh, I'd be an utter liar if I said I hadn't considered it, lollz π€£ Kirigan just has so much chemistry, with, like, everyone. Our SAB gc calls him "General Tall Dark and Handsome" and "Chemistry in a Cloak" π€£π€£π€£π
But like, seriously, he and Mal could totally have had this furious, hot hate-sex type of thing going in that first confrontation! Just... saying ;)
It'd have to be a pretty heavy AU, though, because I'm afraid that Kirigan's far less than moral actions with Alina and the collar rather put me off shipping them in any form whatsoever :/ I mean, I saw him being evil coming from a mile away, but it turned out to be even worse than I'd expected, and now my brain is just like #nope. He be a villain, and not the good, funny, lovable type like the Crows.
So yeah, that's a yes in "I definitely thought about it and it'd be way hot" but a "no in anything past that bc my bbys deserve better than dark, evil and admittedly attractive arseholes who violate their autonomy" from me.
:D and thank you so much for the ask, Ri! Ilyyyyysm for indulging my new truest love, this fantastic show π₯°π€
