    Summary

    UPDATE made 5/30/2024:
    Since I originally made the promise of Mission Impossible Crow Heists (see original summary below) and then began with Kaz's birth :D, I felt I should update with how this story is shaping itself:
    Part I: The Farm (Chpts 1-4)
    Part II: New to Ketterdam (Chpts 5-11)
    Part III: In Storage (Chpts 12-23)
    Part IV: Dregs/Bunker/Spy v Spy (Chpts 24-current)

    Future:
    Part V: Vengeance
    Part VI: Mission Impossible Crow Heists

    Original Summary:
    A modern AU wherein Kaz, son of a paramilitary ghost, begins his life as a prepper on a farm near the town of Lij. When his father’s enemies find them, he moves on to the streets of Ketterdam where he learns the specialized skills of surviving in the Barrel. Many stories are included of those intense early years in the Barrel, but eventually Kaz is recruited as a field operative and computer hacker for a secret agency, unfettered by government connections, that handles dangerous, high-stakes missions.

    Along the way, Kaz meets and recruits each of our beloved Crows to a team rivaling any put together by Ethan Hunt of the Mission Impossible movie series!

    Summary

    A re-imagination of Eloise and Phillip's story.
    What if they'd met sooner?

    POV Phillip — Work in progress with WEEKLY UPDATES:

    • Part One — Before (Chapter 1)
    • Part Two — Two Worlds Collide (Chapter 10)
    • Part Three — After The Fall-Out (Chapter 23)
    • Part Four — Scandal (Chapter 33)
    • Part Five — With Love (Chapter 42)
    • Part Six — Yes (Chapter 52)

    Inspired by the books and series.
    This will be a +/-130K story.

    Little sample:

    “I know, I know,” Eloise burst out as soon as he set foot in the library. “I’ll apologise in a moment and fib something about being overcome by the sweltering heat.” She turned and noticed that it was him and not one of her brothers or sisters. “Oh,” her mouth drawn in a perfect o-shape.
    “Then we, at least, had the same idea,” Phillip said. “I came to apologise, and I would offer you the same kindness to pretend it was from the heat.”
    “It was.”
    “Yes, indeed.”

    Summary

    “Hello, Inej,” said Kaz Brekker, sidling up to the bar. He may have been in a gang, may have been best known for bashing people’s skulls in with his cane and ripping their eyeballs out with his gloved fingers, but he was also her best customer, and was never anything but unfailingly polite.

    Inspired by that one scene from that one show. If you know, you know.

    Summary

    “You think you can just call up Kaz Brekker and he’ll hop on the next ship to Ravka?" asks Zoya. "He’s gone mad, Nikolai."
    Nikolai can’t argue that Kaz Brekker is the wildest of cards in his deck. But what choice does he have? He needs a master, and Brekker is the most masterful of them all.
    “I know how we can get him on board.”
    Zoya scoffs. “Nina says he’s positively unhinged since Inej Ghafa’s death years ago. Jesper and Wylan fled here after a nasty encounter with the bastard.”
    “I know a way,” he says. Everyone has a weakness, as Kaz would say, and Nikolai knows exactly what Kaz’s is. “Inej Ghafa is alive.”

    Three years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, the Crows have fallen apart. Inej, in order to protect herself, has been faking her death for the past two years. Kaz, overridden with grief, finally snaps and goes mad. Wylan, Jesper, and Nina flee back to Ravka, but when the Wandering Isle closes its harbor and the Fjerdans threaten war, Nikolai needs a crew that can infiltrate Maroch Castle and gather information.
    Can the crows overcome the traumas of their past, the shortcomings of their present, and their fears of the future for one final mission?

    Summary

    It’s been several years since Inej Ghafa presented as a koper, and she’s almost certainly just about completely over any feelings she had for Kaz Brekker.

    That is, until she returns to Ketterdam one day to hear some rather intriguing rumours about Dirtyhands himself…
