    Summary

    “Please don’t—” she shivers again, “Please don’t hurt me. Please don’t turn out like him.”

    She can’t see him frown. See the burning hatred in his eyes, and she would never be able to guess how angry he was when his hands, gently, settle on her shoulders. Inej doesn’t tense up at this touch, she lets herself get used to the feeling. Remind herself that he won’t hurt her.

    “I’m not going to. By all I hold dear, I will never do that to you.”

    -

    Or Kaz changes Inej's bandages again, but this time, it's a bit different.

    Summary

    Kaz had set aside his cane, hat and coat and he looked oddly delicate now, sitting beside her in his shirtsleeves and vest. His body was angled toward her as much as possible on the small sofa, holding her hand and keeping his bitter-coffee eyes trained on her face. His gloves were still on, but somehow she knew that it was due to the relative strangeness of her parents rather than to hide his hands from her. He held her hand so tightly that she could feel the little slits in the fingertips, little absences of contact from the leather covering the rest of her hand.

    -----------------------------

    Takes place immediately following the events of Crooked Kingdom. We meet Inej's parents and get some closure for everyone involved.

    Summary

    Directly after that scene in the harbour at the end of Crooked Kingdom. Kaz meets Inej's parents. Some Suli proverbs, some PTSD, but mostly just the scene that I always wanted to read and couldn't find.

    (PS if there IS a fic when he meets them then please give me the name in the comments, I desperately need it (: )

    Title inspired by "birds" by Imagine Dragons
