Summary
Beside Echo, Rex made a harsh, choked noise. In his peripheral vision, he could see him removing his helmet in jerky, stilted movements. Echo removed his as well. He tried to clip his bucket to his belt, but his fingers felt wooden and he missed the clasp so he let it clatter to the ground. Hunter started at the sharp crack of plastoid on metal. Rex didn’t flinch, and neither did Echo.
“What?” asked Hunter, looking between the two of them. “What’s wrong?” Neither of them answered.
“Fives?” Echo rasped finally, stepping forward.
...
Having met up with Rex and Ahsoka after the fall of the Republic, the Bad Batch and Echo have just one goal: survive. Fives also has one goal - remember who he is.
Together, they have another: save the GAR, or die trying.
AKA the one where Fives gets Winter Soldiered.

Summary
Just because Kaz Brekker is the new king of Ketterdam doesn't mean that there aren't people gunning for his crown. Jordie's about to get a taste of the brutal side of the city, first hand.
This IS part of a series, and I would strongly recommend reading the previous part first!

Summary
The last thing Kaz Brekker had expected to see when he opened the door to his office in the Slat was his dead brother standing on his threshold. Anika stood off to the side of the landing, lightly cringing, obviously waiting for the wrath of Dirtyhands to rain down on her for bringing him a visitor he had neither expected nor vetted.
Jordie Rietveld stood in the doorway panting lightly from exertion, nervousness oozing from every pore in his body, but with his back ramrod straight. “I need your help,” he said.
Kaz was tempted to slam the door in his face and lay down in his bed to sleep off whatever hallucinogenic concoction the Black Tips had managed to slip into his coffee that morning. Maybe Jesper had a point about him needing to catch more sleep.
...
Or, the one where the rumors of Jordie Rietveld's death have only been somewhat exaggerated.Series

Summary
A series of somewhat lengthy one-shots centered around the idea that Jordie (miraculously) is resurrected and shows up in Ketterdam post Crooked Kingdom.
NO changes to Kaz's or any of the other crow's backstories.This series is not marked as complete mostly bc I'm probably going to keep adding to it whenever I'm in the mood, and the fact that each installment is a completed story.
