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

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?

Any ideas?

Excited to see what everyone creates :)

Honestly this design feels like when Zoya was still a student in the Little Palace (early shadow and bone)

normalmente, im not much fan of lineart, but daaaaamnnnn this is my alina starkov for your guys

grow tired of my current artstyle so im playing with others ;*

I’m rereading “The Lives of Saints” fanfic now to work on Ch. 3 and I forgot just how girl crazy I made Alina. I’m thinking of expanding on a little crush on Zoya (which will be funny as this is established Genya x Zoya) and I have this Alinej scene in my head that I might share with you guys later. Just to write it down.

*fic is a script format, sapphic retelling of Shadow and Bone TV show

Alinej? Tamadia? Perfect ship names

But what about Genya x Zoya?

OH: Storm of Ruination?

Is that too long for a ship name? I don’t know I love ship names that sound cool and not just the names.

Thoughts?

alinej is an extremely good ship actually
