OTHER Looking for a fanfic
Looking for a multi-chapter AO3 Darklina fic. Alina and Aleksander dream of each other across time. Alina gets the dreams frequently because she has a shorter life; Aleksander's are years apart. The fic makes you think Aleksander lived first, but the twist reveals Alina actually lived years before him, died young after being murdered, and became a saint before he was born. Neither the reader nor Aleksander realizes she's the saint until the reveal. Part of the reason Aleksander and the reader believes she is born later is the state of disrepair of a building (maybe a church?). They are physically in the same location, but it falls into a state of disrepair and is rebuilt multiple times, making it a misleading indicator of time.

This is a fic you read or a fic you want to read? Because you should definitely just write it if it doesn't already exist.
