   Summary

   Kaz Brekker has only known pain, fear and abuse from those who are meant to protect him, growing up in the corrupt foster system in Ketterdam, his most recent 'carer' being Pekka Rollins and the Dime Lions. Now Kaz is joining the Fahey family - Colm and his son, Jesper, Jesper's boyfriend, Wylan, and Jesper's foster siblings, Inej, Nina and Matthias.

   Is there any way he can actually accept love and care after a lifetime of both his will and trust being repeatedly broken?

   This is inspired by 'Fostered Crows' by KingLueyOfTheLab - which is a modern day foster family story and is amazing and I suggest you all go read it as well!
