Summary
After a long stretch of silence—punctuated only by the turning of a page or the crackle of the fire—the Darkling rose to his feet and paced to the perimeter of the room, cocking his head to study the spines of the books on the shelves. He moved like a soft curl of smoke, elegant but worrisome, if you couldn’t find the source of the flame.
With all the leisure of commentary on the weather, the Darkling said, “I hear what I left inside of you has been giving you some trouble of late.” He trailed his finger along the stacks of books with a soft thump. “Such whispers of monsters. Ravkans are a superstitious, fanciful bunch, are they not?”

Summary
‘The moon looked brighter, lighting his already pale skin, making him seem a phantom; no, not a phantom. That, they had been as they were left dying both on a ship and a brother's lifeless body. He looked like an angel, the same who had saved her from a life that was awaiting for her, welcoming her body to its sentence, leading it to a certain death.’
Inej has just come back to Ketterdam after months. She and Kaz look at the sea together as night falls over the city.

Summary
Years after Mila and Ilya ascend the Fjerdan throne, Kaz Brekker once again has need of Nina's talents. She supposes that one last adventure won't hurt, not after everything she sacrificed.
OR
I DNFed Rule of Wolves because I so strongly disliked Nina's arc, and I wrote this to help sort out how I felt. Just call me Baghra because I am a bitter old woman.

Quiet isolation suits him well.

Summary
He continued on, speaking of Kaz’s good deeds, of the great man that lay in hiding behind the terrible one. Of Kaz’s legendary brains, unbelievable grit, and overwhelming impact on the city he called home. As he spoke, he noticed movement in the back of the crowd. Fighting? Fleeing? Wylan couldn’t tell. The ripples grew wider, men and women tripping over themselves to move away from the center of the street. Suddenly a path cleared, as though the crowd had been cleanly torn in half by the point of a sharp knife.
“Inej,” Jesper breathed.
OR: All of Ketterdam is left reeling in the wake of Kaz Brekker’s death. Despite his frequent objections to the concept, there are mourners and a funeral.

Summary
Inej does not like the job Kaz has for her, but the queen of Ravka is a living Saint, and it's at her request. So, in order to expel a murderous Fjerdan diplomat without causing an international incident, she's posing as the diplomat's mistress. It would be bad enough, just having to masquerade as someone she isn't. But he's cast himself in this charade too.
As her servant.

Summary
Set after the events of Crooked Kingdom (but Matthias doesn't die)
After usurping Jan Van Eck, returning Wylan his fortune, and tearing down Pekka Rollins, the Crows have the space and time to go their separate ways. Matthias and Nina briefly returned to Ravka and settle down. The result of this? One Mila Hevlar-Zenik, daughter of a Grisha and a (former) Grisha-hunter.
Mila lives in Ravka for most of her early childhood. That is, until Nina and Matthias decide it's finally time to let their daughter meet the people that changed their lives. This, of course, entails a visit to the Barrel.
So what exactly happens when you bring together a child and some of the most notorious people in the world's center of criminal activity?
tl;dr, (mostly) morally-grey idiots adopt a small child, what happens next will shock you!

Summary
The first time he fucks her, it’s nothing to write home about – too perfunctory, too unwise. Nothing to feel good about, either.
Nothing at all, unless, of course, you’re out of other ways to avoid other feelings.
The Bastard of the Barrel and the Queen of Ravka are both experts from running into rage to avoid feeling anything else.

Summary
ROW Spoilers!!!
Zoya and Nikolai have been dancing with their hands tied for as long as they’ve known each other. Zoya knows that they can never be together, never be more than king and general. However, it seems that the wedding of her friends Genya and David has softened her heart (if only for a night), and she decides to indulge in her king’s requests.
But, neither Nikolai nor Zoya could have predicted that a bomb would be the thing to tear them apart from each other.
(Or, an angsty zoyalai centric rewrite of David and Genya’s doomed wedding because I said so >:))

Summary
Nikolai’s head did not lift from its bowed position when he heard the door open. He stayed kneeling, clad only in simple trousers, hands resting palm up on his knees. He knew it was Zoya. He felt the audio blanket- she could maintain them effortlessly now- settle around them in the familiar pop of his ears. With Ravka’s newfound peace there were no guards posted outside their chambers, but knowing even if someone approached they could not hear them put his mind at ease.
He was shaken from his thoughts as she clicked her tongue, the sharp sound demanding his full attention.
“What do you need tonight?” She asked from her place by the door. His tongue felt glued to the roof of his mouth for a moment, this was always the hardest part.
“To-“ He barely got a syllable out before she cut him off.
“Speak up.” She tutted, and he could see her boots coming toward him. He cleared his throat and tried again.
“I don’t want to talk, or choose, or- think.” He said, it all rushing out in a single breath.
Months after the ending of Rule of Wolves Zoya gives Nikolai what he's been craving.
Pure, filthy, PWP. Please heed the tags.

Summary
"It is not that he has ceased to live without her, for he will die preaching on a parapet soaked with blood, preaching violence till the last. He will not die from this absence in his heart, but he will know forever that while she is gone, he will ache to the very marrow of his strong but broken bones. For she has dragged him through the red waters he was born from to the soft beach of gold they will make theirs."
