    Summary

    “Just now,” said the boy, “You were sizing me up, weren’t you? Thinking you could take me?” There was a dare in his eyes, a cruel black glitter that begged to be set loose. “I want everyone else to think that, too. And I want a weapon to prove them wrong.”

    It's hard enough to be a Fabrikator hiding in Ketterdam. It only gets worse when the boy called Dirtyhands wants something from him.

    "She can’t shake the feeling that they’re orbiting each other, trying hard not to crash but inevitably fated to."

    Absolutely gorgeous.

    Modern AU Imogen is absolutely delightful, enby Wylan warms my heart, and this depiction of the friend group is so spot-on I think someone must have leaked screenshots of their texts to the author

    Summary

    Kaz gripped the head of his cane, thinking. Thinking about something. Something big, something impossible, something he wanted more than anything in the world.

    The idea had first been planted in his mind by a conversation he’d overheard between two people in the University District. They say the Queen of Ravka has a Grisha servant who alters her appearance, makes her look younger and more beautiful, one of them had whispered. The other had gasped, like it was the most scandalous thing they’d ever heard.

    The stranger’s words had looped in his mind ever since. Grisha could alter people’s appearances. A Grisha could potentially alter Kaz’s appearance.

    Or: While fourteen-year-old Kaz is acquiring his cane, he takes the opportunity to solve another pressing problem as well.

    (Now with a second chapter about Inej and Jesper finding out what Kaz is up to.)

    Summary

    Excerpt:

    I will have you without armor Kaz Brekker

     The words Inej had said to him that day on the ship were never far from his mind, but they were most insistent whenever there was any kind of barrier between them. His gloves mocked him, the sheets on the bed, even just any amount of distance. He fought with those horrific memories every time he came close to Inej, but he also fought with her declaration to him and he never knew which one would be stronger at any given time. Sometimes the words gave him the determination he needed and he was able to push back the thoughts of cold clammy skin and fight the feeling of drowning in the cold harbor, but other times, the words were an accusation and he hated himself for his weakness.

    Summary

    “Sex, intimacy, all that, I can’t do it Inej. And I wish I could, I wish I could, and what I would give to be able to...I just can’t give it to you.”

    -

    Or Kaz and Inej discuss the details of what love is, to them.

    -

    Note - 06/06/21: I wrote this long before I was even aware of the discourse surrounding Kaz and headcannoning him as asexual. I wrote this when I was struggling deeply with my own asexuality and saw a lot of my struggles with the idea of intimacy in him. I am now aware of some of the problems around this headcanon, but don't attack me for writing this and clinging to a relationship and a character I saw myself reflected in. I hope we can have actually ace characters in the future and not resort to headcanons for a scrap of representation in media, but unfortunately, we really aren't there.

    Summary

    His motion then halted, head hanging and not looking up.
    “Hello, Inej.”
    She dropped from the window, sounding hollow against the floor. Why she insisted on the window he didn’t know, but for him, it became her door, he kept it open even when he knew she was gone, even in the winter months when he shivered. He kept it open in case she came home. She sidled up to him, standing before the desk and peering at him, her expression unreadable. She jerked her chin at the wound and rag.
    “That’s new.”
    “Thanks for noticing.”
    -
    Kaz never liked getting hurt, and when he did, he handled it himself. He was used to it, used to saving his own skin, refusing the aid offered, but when he starts bleeding out in the Crow Club, a recently returned Inej notices. She's determined to help him, even if he's slow to accept her help.

    Kaz isn't safe in the world they live in without his gloves, but in a world with only Inej? He might just be okay.

    Summary

    Inej Ghafa is a principal dancer of the Kerch National Ballet, haunted by a past she'd rather forget. Kaz Brekker is a mob boss who holds the city in the palm of his hand.

    Perhaps if all were right with the world, two such people would never meet. Or perhaps fate will always give those who need each other a push in the right direction.

    It begins, as so many things in Ketterdam do, with a murder.
