Summary
"We were not built on peace. We were built on madness and lies and chaos. We do this together, peace or not. Easy or not. I will never understand what I did for the Saints to think I deserved you, but I am done questioning."
Four months after parting on the Zemini coast Nikolai still hasn't fulfilled his promise, that he'll find a way to be with the girl he loves. Burdened by the weight of his oath, he's almost lost hope until rumors reach him of a wind spirit haunting the Zemini coast. But spirits and Saints don't exist, only green-eyed squallers who steal his heart.
But finding her again threatens to draw him into a conspiracy older than Ravka itself, revealing secrets he never dreamed of.

Summary
The only times Nikolai has seen Kaz sleeping in the past three months has been when he’s stumbled into the house on some of the days that Nikolai doesn’t work, and immediately crashed on the couch in the living room a little after noon while on his lunch break. He has to wake up again less than an hour later, so it’s not like crashing on the sofa is even all that helpful in the short term.
But at this point, Nikolai figures Kaz will take what he can get, and if that means he’s taking the occasional cat nap instead of eating a midday meal, then it seems “so be it” is Kaz’s current philosophy.
Kaz has a doctor appointment tomorrow, though, after Nikolai has spent literal actual weeks trying to get him to set one up.
“Just find someone who will prescribe you a sleeping medication — in moderation, Kaz. Someone who knows which might actually be helpful; do not get anything off the street from anyone who does not have a doctorate in psychiatry. I’m serious, Kaz.”Or,
Kaz gets on a sleeping med that actually works for him, and subsequently asks Nikolai to do him a favor.

Summary
Nikolai hears about a Sun Summoner possibly existing in Kerch.
Most likely, they're rumours. Dumb words spoken by drunks who have nothing better to do with their time.
Nikolai, however, holds onto the hope that the dead might not be really gone.

Kaz Brekker is, definitely, not involved in whatever this is.

Summary
"Rubbing his nose, he sat up straighter, trying not to look too pleased with himself. He’d made Zoya laugh. Zoya Nazyelensky, the feared Grisha and terrifyingly work-oriented general, had actually laughed. And now she was smiling. After a second, Nikolai let the smile he had been holding in go free. It felt good, to sink into the familiar expression. For real this time, though. To feel his lips curl back for pleasure, not for other people’s benefit."
Two separate plots (im sorrry they'll get back togetherin the end!!!):
In one, the gang has some light-hearted drama and starts planning for the upcoming ball✨.
In the other, Nikolai struggles to contain his inner demon before all is lost.

is it real or just another crush? by DancingShadows9174 for FlorenceTheTurtle

Summary
Nikolai leans into his hand on the table in front of him, listening to other people talk about…something. It sounds like taxes or tariffs, actually. Which are both objectively boring as fuck topics.
His mind turns instead to Kaz Brekker. A far less boring subject to focus on. He’d been in Ketterdam on business not two weeks ago, and had taken the time to meet up with the Barrel boss. The entire time they’d spent together, Kaz had been teaching Nikolai how to pick a specific kind of lock. Nikolai can’t even remember the name of it; just how it looked and how frustrating it had been to try to pick.
Of all the locks to teach Nikolai to pick, the frustrating one doesn’t even make the top three of how important it is for Nikolai to have knowledge of. There are far more important locks to learn to pick.
Like, say, Kaz.Or,
Nikolai is booked and busy daydreaming about Kaz. What do you mean, he’s in an important meeting right now?

"There is no greater a death than dying for something you love," Nikolai said as their eyes met - feeling inexplicably breathless all of a sudden, "No nobler cause, no more righteous nor blessed."

Summary
Following a heartbreak with a certain childhood friend(who also happened to be of royal blood), inferni Dasha Lenkovya requested to be stationed somewhere as far away as possible to heal while serving her country. It's going well, until she realised her feelings were, in fact, requited, and now has to deal with the push and pull of her desires as she discovered how far they extend; how much she's willing to accept; how deep she'd learn to crave.
***
"You want to," Shadow mused. "Just take her."
"And will you let me do that without taking over?"
"I can't promise that."
"Then stop whispering in my brain."A king and his demon; that's what Nikolai Lantsov has to live with now.
He'd do anything to make sure his beloved was kept from harm, and so decided that giving her space--as he dealt with the creature inside of him--was the best course of action.
Little did he know, that his little inferni would not be aversed to being with him even with the darkness within; of her wicked desires to get to know the creature in him as much as she wanted him to discover her; mentally, emotionally, physically. -

Summary
From the moment his cries pierced the air, Nikolai Lantsov was a force of nature.
He would grow to be a prince, a king, and a demon, all in due turn. He would love and lose and love again, his nation, his friends, his body and his mind. He would wear his duty with grace and serve his first love, Ravka, with a smile.
But first he was small, boyish, a child clearly out of place in his surroundings. He knew not what it was to bear the weight of a crown on his brow. He could not understand that no great love waited for him, at least not within his marriage.
He would grow to learn these things, for Nikolai Lantsov was a boy with a future.
(Or: Nikolai Lantsov will not marry for love. That doesn't mean he won't try.)

“Is that not the entire point of the reward in the first place?” Kaz asks all snidely. Almost smugly, if you ask Nikolai.
Nikolai shoots his boyfriend a hard glare. “No. The point of the reward is to motivate you into actually completing The List, not to challenge your ability to perfectly loophole shit,” he bemoans.
“Oh, look!” Kaz exclaims suddenly. “We’re here.”Or,
Nikolai gives Kaz a blowjob at the movie theater. It’s as smutty as it sounds.
