    Summary

    Inej wonders if Kaz forgets, sometimes, that he’s human, that he’s just as fallible as any other eighteen-year-old boy made of flesh and bone.

    Summary

    The Queen’s Plague hits Ketterdam once more, and Kaz is…. fine. He definitely isn't paranoid to the point he takes Inej to quarantine in the Van Eck mansion... and Jesper getting sick definitely isn't causing any sort of discomfort. It doesn't remind him of Jordie at all. Not even a little. Not at all.

    Jesper's fever does make him say some strange things, though.

    Summary

    he couldn’t say precisely what it was that changed. whether it was that woman he saw on the lid, skin the same deep brown as his, wearing her gold-clasped twists like a crown; or seeing wylan with marya, thinking about what he could remember about his ma, of sitting between her knees while she worked out the kinks in his hair; or maybe it was just being happy and settled and unhurried—letting wylan poke around his childhood and pull out the things that mattered.

    whatever it was, jesper had decided to grow out his hair.

    Summary

    “How are you doing, Brekker?” Nina asked when Inej left, and the door finally shut with a soft click. Kaz didn’t bother to look up from his work, tiredly scratching through some form or another.

    “Polite of you to ask,” he muttered. Nina tilted her head, waiting for the sarcasm to come out full force. “You’re sweet to care, Zenik. I’m touched. Truly.”

    “I don’t care,” Nina said loftily, though her eyes were fixed on his face. She hesitated, a little unsure if she wanted to leave this untouched or not. It somehow felt dirty to keep it a secret, though. Nina didn’t need the details, but she also wanted Kaz to know she wasn’t trying to hide anything. Taking a long breath, she continued. “But the voice in the canal asked me to make sure you’re okay.”

    Or

    As Nina’s corpsewitch powers grow, the voices of the dead get stronger. Sometimes, it’s painful to hear them.

    Summary

    A simple “No” would have sufficed, Kaz realized, but his girl was in some kind of state because of this waste of carbon and his patience had never been plentiful to begin with.

    The gang has a run in with a couple of unscrupulous characters from Inej's past, and Kaz says a few things in the middle of a rage he wasn't supposed to say yet.

    Summary

    “Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side.

     

    “I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?”

     

    “Well, who would you suggest?”

     

    Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?”

     

    “Kaz has –

     

    “We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly.

    Summary

    “So you’re… so you’re actually marrying Inej because you love her,” he reiterates.

    “No, I’m marrying Inej for the tax incentives,” Kaz repeats, as if Jesper is somehow the stupid one here. “The fact that I love her is entirely separate from the fact that Kerch law favors married partners."

    Summary

    "Kaz opened the door, and the sight of her was almost enough to make him forget everything — the pain, the guilt, the turmoil of emotion this day had been. A string of tension snapped, releasing him. She was at the window, dark hair loose to the wind, casually perched on it just like she used to, before everything. The crows she’d taken the time to feed fretted around her, recognizing her careful fingers. A younger one had nestled in her lap, and gently, she petted its ruffled feathers.

    'Pretty' was nowhere near enough. She was every beautiful thing in the world.

    Kaz found the breath he’d lost, and felt a tired smile bloom on his lips."

    ------

    Six months after the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kaz Brekker begins to heal. It starts with a long-owed apology to a friend, and the return of the Wraith in Ketterdam.

    Summary

    “Hush. Let him speak, my dear.”

    Bewilderingly, all the breath seems to go out Kaz at once. He slumps back, almost boneless, into his chair as Wylan begins to explain the physics of night and day. At first, Inej is pleased with her victory, but something about Jesper’s grin is far too conspiratorial for her liking.

    She peeks over at Kaz, who is very clearly trying to avoid looking at her. Slowly, in a manner of scheming she has learned from Kaz and Kaz alone, her mind begins to turn.

    ---

    Or, the two nicknames Inej gives Kaz and the one that he contemplates giving her.

    Summary

    Not all of their jobs went according to plan. In fact, it was a given that most wouldn’t; that’s why they had back-up plans and enough heads for swift-thinking. But no matter how off-course those missions got, they always seemed to end up going right.
    Not this one, though.
    This one went quite wrong.

    Summary

    Inej stared at the bed for a moment and her heart began to beat faster. A thousand images flashed through her mind. Men with leering glances who were old enough to be her father. Young, power hungry men with wicked glints in their eyes looking to dominate everything and everyone they came across. Purple silks and the musical jangle of golden bangles.

    Summary

    She hates backing him into corners for the exact the same reasons she relishes it. He would never allow anyone but her this weakness. He would never give if she did not do it. He would never, he would never, he would never. Yet he does, every time, and she cannot tell if he enjoys it.

    She does not think he would let it keep happening if he didn’t.

    Summary

    Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.

    “What, then? Spit it out.”

    The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”
