    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.

    Summary

    “Poor dear,” Nina murmured, pulling Jesper out of his trance, “He looks really uncomfortable.” Looking again, Jesper could see that she was right. The Van Eck kid had the look of a fawn caught in the headlights; he was standing ramrod straight, his wide, beautiful, doe eyes fixated on a point in the distance. His only movement was a slight twist of his hands, clasped together in front of him, and the steady rise of his shoulders as he took deep breaths, regulating his breathing. Jesper immediately felt a pang of sympathy for the kid, who clearly wanted to be anywhere else but on that stage.

    Headmaster Bates finished his introduction and clasped Wylan on the shoulder. “Wylan,” He said, “It is a pleasure to welcome you to our school.” Jesper winced as the boy flinched at the unexpected touch, but Wylan seemed to recover quickly, a forced smile appearing on his face as he thanked the headmaster for his kind words.

    Summary

    Jesper accepts a job (per Kaz's orders, of course) as the Royal Escort for Jan Van Eck's son, which means he is stuck babysitting a very spoiled, very rich (very beautiful) young man; its the perfect opportunity to infiltrate the Van Eck House hold and take them down from the inside. Its too bad Wylan is so beautiful.
    * * *

    When Jesper first saw Wylan, he looked like something out of a painting. He was sitting under a tree, bent over a sketch book; light streamed through the leaves of the tree, catching his ruddy hair, making it a golden red. And when he looked at Jesper, his eyes were a wide, clear blue. He looked like a prince in a fairytale. He was every bit the rich boy Jesper should have been expecting. But Jesper hadn’t been counting on Wylan being so beautiful.

    Then he opened his mouth and the picture was ruined.

    “Are you the new royal escort?” He asked; his accent was delicate and prim. Rich people have a way of reminding people that they’re rich, as if money seeps into their every mannerism. “Because if you are, you’re late. You were supposed to be here nearly,” He check his (expensive, gold) watch, “Thirty minutes ago.”

    Summary

    Wylan knows it must've existed, a version of himself that didn't live pathetically pining over the other man, that wasn't as much Jesper's, more even, as it was his own's. He just doesn’t know where, or when, that version of him ceased to exist.

    Summary

    After Wylan is revealed as a Van Eck, the Crows are less than responsive. When Wylan faces another threat to his life sent by his father, they realize that they misjudged Wylan's past. The more that is revealed, the more horrified Jesper is.

    I really wanted a story where everyone is angry after the reveal, but Wylan is hurt before they forgive; I couldn't find it so I wrote it.

    Summary

    Wylan Van Eck was a boy of poor luck, all his life. Being stuck in a tower, with no contact with the world outside, had to be as unlucky as they get. But maybe it was all just normal.

    Jesper Fahey was a boy of crime, down on his luck, and an addict at heart. Surely after dropping out and running from his issues, to join a gang, it would fix something about him.
