Storm of Ruination: The Specific Reason I Ship Genya x Zoya

ID: cute sketch of Genya and Zoya holding hands and looking into each other’s eyes.

Artwork by @met-la

Original Post HERE

Honestly, with my many rewatches of SaB, the moment when Genya fights Arken…is sorta the origin of me shipping and conceiving of a Genya x Zoya thing.

(Silent video of the fight)

Anyway, how could I get “Zoya” anywhere from that encounter? Really, you can’t, but my writer brain was thinking, “Oh, but who taught Genya to fight?”

While in the books I don’t believe Genya ever got trained in any physical activity because of her servant status to the Queen, maybe this timeline is different. But, it is way more fun to say, “Oh, Zoya secretly taught her to fight.”

I just like the idea (even if a purely fanon one) of two girls on vastly different paths supporting and protecting each other the best way they can.

Any Genya x Zoya shippers, what do you like most about this ship? If you are just respective Genya and Zoya fans, what are your favorite moments or aspects of these characters?

This is my favorite Nina edit I’ve found.

Edit by Olivia Moore on YouTube.

Nina is an interesting character, because she had so much potential for worldbuilding and the plot with West vs East Ravka. Right now, I’m working on “Episode Two” and figuring out how best to display Nina. She has her hand in many different cookie jars, hopefully I can do her justice.

yellow lettering in front of a black background reads in capital letters "SANKTA NEYAR SAINT OF BLACKSMITHS" Neyar, shown tired with a sword at her hip, stands in front of red and gray mountains and feathers. she wears a gray cloth to tie her hair from her face. a beautiful digital art piece after Neyar's fight with the unkillable army.

You ever randomly scroll through fanart and just see something so beautiful you need to share? This season one SaB of Alina and Genya on the bed—either doing makeup or about to make out—is beautiful. This is a digital art style where there’s just a bit of gold or bronze in the embroidery of Genya’s kefta…that makes her wavy hair accentuate her beauty. Alina and Genya stare into each other’s eyes in love and wonder and happiness. Just for this, I think I will have Genya appear in Episode Two instead of Three.

At least for this blog…I’m trying to wait until they’ve actually shown up. Ahhh but I’ve had so many random thoughts about Tamar and Nadia lately.

At least one will show up briefly in Episode Two and the other will have their first appearance in Episode Three.

Check out Episode One of “The Lives of Saints” if you want to take some guesses of what will happen next!

The lesbian urge to talk about how hot and underrated Tamar is.

That’s it 💚

Does anyone else think about the differences between worshipping Saints?

For there has to be difference between East and West Ravka, nomadic Suli vs. stationary Ravkans, etc.

What headcanons or fanon have you constructed or used in your stories?

I think it’s interesting seeing how Inej practices her faith:

gif of Inej's fourteen knives laying on a tray
Inej sitting in a chapel holding her scapular

Inej knows she doesn’t need a fancy chapel to pray, but she does have physical reminders of the Saints that also have multiple uses and are easy to travel with.

Versus the Ravkan population who goes to “Church” which would be tied heavily to the Crown and the Apparat influence.

the Apparat and Alina walking along the palace grounds

They put a lot more importance on study and the Saints are seen as almost gods to fear versus role models to emulate (that’s how I think Inej and her specific Caravan view the Saints).

What are your thoughts? I know the religions in the Grishaverse are…flimsy…but do you have anything to add? If you could change something what would you change? Are there any aspects of these fantasy religions that you hadn’t seen before or fascinated you?

This is a great fic, a very fun Zoyalina read

Anon prompted me with ‘Floorboards’ for Zoyalina. Thank you!

This was the most challenging prompt so far; I wanted to get it just right, but it was a lot of fun writing for the two of them.

Full fic on AO3 here!

Preview:

Letting the glow in her hand dissipate into nothing, Alina stepped into the shafts of moonlight, looking down at her feet as if she were stepping into an ocean. There was no cold wetness around her toes, but to her surprise she could feel the light where it hit her skin. Moonlight was just reflected sunlight, after all, and she was the Sun Summoner.

She gave a little huff of awed breath, wiggling her toes in the light.

‘This room is already taken for brooding.’

The voice came from nowhere, and Alina startled as the words echoed around the empty ballroom, her hands coming up defensively as she called a ball of light to her hands.

‘Oh please,’ came the voice again, and Alina only half relaxed as she saw Zoya, leaning against the wall by one of the arched windows. ‘Word is you can barely light a doorway on your own. What are you going to do with that?’
