And just like herpes, I am back my lovelies. 

Or, just like the pandemic, I never really left...

Anyway, another round of lockdown in my home of Australia has rekindled my fanfic writing love. The problem is however, I’m afraid the lack of real human contact might have made me a little insane in terms of valid story ideas. 

Scratch that, I'm entirely certain it has. 

Which is why I’m posting again to see if anyone would be reading this little plot bunny that has been jumping around my head. I mean, lets be honest, quarantine has an abundance of two things for me; Netflix and Fanfics. 

This idea of course, starts with the Shadow and Bone series! 

I’ve been a fan of Ben Barnes since his Caspian days and seeing him as the Darkling and his chemistry with Jessie as Alina, I just loved it so much!  

Yes, I ship Darklina. But are you really surprised? 

I’m sure by now everyone is familiar with the soft porn that was 365 Dni / 365 Days. A polish-italian-english smut fantasy that was made into a movie. I have mentioned it before in my desperate and shameful Netflix experiments. 

Basically, the story is about an Italian gangster who had a near death experience, where he saw this woman. He becomes obsessed with finding this woman and when he does, he kidnaps her! He tells her that he will keep her for one year (hence the name) and if after that time she doesn’t fall in love with him, he’ll let her go. His way of trying to get her to love him, is buying everything she wants, whisking her away on trips around the world and having a bunch of hot/crazy sex...

And I just thought, ‘Wow. Kind of reminds me of what the Darkling does to Alina. He takes her away from the life she’s known against her will. Does a bunch of things to get her to fall in love with him and it kind of works...’
