    Summary

    Wylan glanced around warily, feeling the whispers and laughs skitter over his skin. "Why is everyone staring?"
    Nina cocked a brow, a smile tugging at her lips. "Don't you know the rule?" she asked, feigning innocence with wide green eyes.
    He shook his head, lips pulling down. He had to peer out from under the brim of the hat to look at her. "What rule?"
    "Oh, Wylan," Nina's smile turned faintly wicked. She flicked the brim of the cowboy hat on his head. "Wear the hat, ride the cowboy."

     

    or

     

    In which Wylan Van Eck is not a country boy. Jesper Fahey, however, is.

    Summary

    Barely one in every hundred Grisha are lucky enough to have their soulmate’s first words etched into their skin. Otkazat'sya never receive the indelible ink, instead left to scramble for a soulmate who rarely, if ever, appears.
    Jesper dreamed of receiving his ink as a young boy. The chances of him meeting his soulmate were slim to none, the chances of those words appearing even slimmer. When he wakes on his thirteenth birthday with a burning rash circling his wrist, barely legible words beneath the blisters, he’s ecstatic. When the skin heals and he finally reads them, he’s terrified. Because the words on his skin aren’t a greeting, they aren’t exciting. The words on his skin are a warning.

    'He's going to kill me.'
    -
    Wylan Van Eck had been dreading his wedding. The engagement to a Mercher twelve years his senior (‘only’ his father had said, as if he should be grateful) seemed too easy an ending for him after years of torment. So, when his wedding night suddenly included hands too tight around his throat, an ungainly escape aided by a candlestick, and a midnight sprint through the city into the pits of the Barrel, well, that made much more sense.

    Summary

    Gavin Reed had believed that he didn't have a soulmate for the majority of his life. That belief was shattered when he received his soulmark in August 2038.

    Gavin Reed had believed that androids were threatening the economy and his place in the world, that they were just pieces of plastic and programming incapable of genuine emotion. Incapable of being alive. That belief was shattered when he met Connor, the android sent by CyberLife, whose name and serial number he had inscribed on his chest.

    Summary

    Dylan could admit when he was wrong. Gotten pretty good at it too. Though that didn’t mean he enjoyed it—the confession nor the deed itself. Despite the admission, he felt his current situation required some serious self-reflection...

    To start, maybe not staying in the lodge was a bad idea, to say the least. Yes, Mr. H had warned them to stay inside. And yes, that warning flew over every single one of their empty, little heads (except maybe Ryan and Abi…), but it’s not like he was completely responsible for that! One: it was a group effort. Two: he really wanted to get drunk in the woods. And perhaps partying in the middle of nowhere—in the middle of the night—with a bunch of drunk 18–20-year-olds, miles away from any hospital, police station, or cellphone tower could be seen as… risky. During a full moon, nonetheless. But he could own that, especially seeing as it was his own suggestion that got them there in the first place.

    He could not, however, be blamed for the fucking werewolves. Despite what his father might’ve claimed if he could see his sorry excuse for a son now.

    ---

    My reimagining of The Quarry but set in a universe where werewolves and hunters aren't that uncommon. For Dylan, at least.

    Summary

    The coin his pocket burned like a hot iron, reminiscent of the way the other coin had heated while he shaped it into a key, completely at ease with the icy hot pain that surged through Jesper like a shockingly cold river.

    Everything was muddled and confused and it hurt, and Jesper didn’t fully understand what was going on.

    All he knew, was that when Kaz Brekker said ‘meet Wylan Van Eck,’ his whole world had come to a sudden, screeching stop.

    Established Show!Wesper going through the key Book!Wesper scenes, starting with the Van Eck Reveal. This is not their path through the duology, I'm not covering the entire ice court heist and events of CK, I'm just taking the key Book!Wesper scenes and applying it to Show!Wesper. There will be angst. There will be pining. There will be some hidden truths and some drastic actions. But they will work it out!
