    Summary

    “If you get out there while you’re drugged there’s no telling what you’ll do,” Wylan said, pushing past Kaz to get back to his work station. “I’d think you'd want to avoid pulling the Dregs into this gang war.” He yanked a cabinet open and rummaged around for a pipette. Opened the vial. Drew out a drop. In his head he ran through the motions of the synthesis: he’d gotten close, before, with the blood sample. All he had to do now was see it through to the finish.

    “I know that.” Kaz’s voice was nearly a snarl, but then again it always sounded like that. There was still time. “I mean, why didn’t you lock it from the outside?

    “Like that would stop you," Wylan scoffed. "You need an antidote. You said the others were dead within the hour.”

    “Only after killing everyone in their vicinity, Merchling, did you forget that part?”

    Summary

    Pekka Rollins kept all his most precious secrets at the country house in Appelbroek.

    Two sons. One of his own to cherish. One of a mercher to torment.

    His two most valuable indentures, molded by his hand into dangerous weapons… the Wraith and the Bastard, all the easier to manipulate because of their attachment to each other.

    A Ravkan cook and an Fjerdan groundskeeper, who stumbled into Ketterdam clutching each other and into jobs too good to be true.

    (There was also a Zemini serving boy, although, truthfully, that one was an accident… good staff are just so hard to come by.)

    If Pekka had only one, or two, or four under his claw, he might have lived on merrily. But all six, living and griping and bleeding and bonding together in one country estate?

    Six might be a bit of a problem for Pekka Rollins.

    We’ve got found family. We’ve got very dark angst. We’ve got a tangle of power dynamics. We’ve got a touch of Downton Abbey, probably.

    Welcome to the universe three beats over, where all of the Crows are under Pekka Rollins’ thumb and none of them intend to keep it that way. Two parts show canon, one part book canon, and 100% my own weird brain. Enjoy.

    Summary

    Kaz leans against the counter of plywood pretending to be oak, his elbow obnoxiously right by the open logbook. Their eyes meet and her stare comes alive, bright like a firework in the night. She tries to hide it, but he can see it anyway. Can see the dark cherry blush blooming on her cheeks and the sweet hitch of her breath. And this tiny smile, just for him, for him only.
    “Mister Brekker,” Inej says, her voice all breath. “Good evening. Welcome back.” / Kaz and Inej, late at night at a hotel reception
