Summary
Kaz climbs the stairs to his room during a rainstorm hoping no one will see how much it hurts, not understanding that sometimes, people watch him without the intent to use or torture him. That sometimes it's ok to let someone else carry his secrets.

My Mother Is Ketterdam by Daroliolia
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
31 Aug 2021
Tags
Summary
Kaz sighs. “Jesper. I think you know why I had you banned from all the gambling halls in Ketterdam.”
Jesper’s shoulders slump. “Look I… just for today, okay? I just need something to… I don’t want to think about anything else, today. Please, Kaz. You know I’m good for it, however much I lose.”
Kaz has never been particularly moved by the word ‘please,’ and he doesn’t intend to start now. “You know I can’t.”
-
It's the anniversary of Jesper's mother's death and he's not doing great. Unfortunately he goes to Kaz, who knows even less about coping than Jesper. Somehow, they muddle through.

Summary
Once upon a time, Genya Safin had warned Alina to be wary of powerful men. She hadn't listened, not in time. On the long road across western Ravka to the shore, she overhears a conversation between Inej Ghafa and Jesper Fahey that makes her wonder if someone should warn Inej about powerful men. Like the one who apparently holds her debt and her freedom.
But Kaz Brekker is not the Darkling. And there are reasons Inej has knives to raise in a saint's defense.

Summary
noun, musical notation: ‘a pause of unspecified length, left to the conductor’s discretion’
‘I think I made a mistake,’ Fenris says, eventually. His fingers have found the edges of his sleeves, tugging them as far as he can. He shivers against the breeze. ‘I think I made a mistake.’
Hawke is now and has always been so woefully unequipped for this.

I Don't Ever Trust, But I Still Choose You by cordelianoir
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
11 Feb 2018
Tags
Summary
Kaz had set aside his cane, hat and coat and he looked oddly delicate now, sitting beside her in his shirtsleeves and vest. His body was angled toward her as much as possible on the small sofa, holding her hand and keeping his bitter-coffee eyes trained on her face. His gloves were still on, but somehow she knew that it was due to the relative strangeness of her parents rather than to hide his hands from her. He held her hand so tightly that she could feel the little slits in the fingertips, little absences of contact from the leather covering the rest of her hand.
-----------------------------
Takes place immediately following the events of Crooked Kingdom. We meet Inej's parents and get some closure for everyone involved.

Summary
"Kaz took a deep breath and tried to prepare himself for what was to come. He’d done this before, in similarly hopeless situations, but it was always hard. Logically he knew that this was just another tool, another trick, but it always felt wrong." Or the one where Kaz is a Grisha Healer.

Summary
“You’re Jordan’s wife?”
If anyone in their town would’ve gone out looking for a foreign beauty, it would’ve been Jordie. He had an adventurer’s spirit, bold and daring. If Maja squinted at the old rope swing by the lake, she could still see the silhouette of him, leaping into the water while Kasper worried from his perch on the banks.
But Inej’s face freezes in an odd expression. “Not quite,” she says haltingly. “I’m married to his younger brother – Kaz?”
---
Or, the town of Lij is endlessly fascinated with the mysterious Mr. and Mrs. Rietveld each and every time they visit.

the queen's lady by 19burstraat (astardanced)
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo

Tags
Summary
“So, yes.” Kaz said. “It is a good idea to collect in the Barrel. Merchers don’t care about some puerile charity project, but the Barrel is built of survivors. It has a very long memory. Say some jumped-up kid pinches some kruge from them. When he comes back to his boss, who lost his girl and his Da and his best friend in the Queen’s Lady, and presents him with money that’s meant to be funding a memorial for them? Them, the people who never get a scrap of respect, who were left to die in the streets? That kid will be lucky if he escapes with both of his hands.”
--
or: on the 10 year anniversary of the queen's lady plague, the holy ghezen health institute aim to erect a memorial for the victims, but they struggle to find the funds. kaz is selfish in a selfless way.
and thanks to some sleuthing from wylan, jesper finds out who jordie is.

twin skeletons by 19burstraat (astardanced)

Summary
“I don’t know how he knows, but I can trust him,” said Inej firmly. “His information will be sound.”
“It better be," said the Heartrender. "You’re still human like every other man, Brekker. I could crush your heart in a second.”
Kaz looked blankly at her for a moment.
“You sound so sure,” he said.
--
Kaz gets wind of a planned ambush. With precisely zero good grace, he goes to help Inej and her crew.
In Lij.
He's about as happy about it as her crew are; which is to say, not happy at all.Bookmarked by fiendfall

Remember Who to Watch Out For by Daroliolia

Summary
Kaz is trying to be better about the whole armor thing; he really and truly is. He’s not stupid about it, obviously- he’s still Dirtyhands, Bastard of the Barrel and leader of the Dregs. Just the other night he snapped some bruiser’s elbow so it pointed the wrong direction during a dispute about smuggled jurda on the docks. It’s just that these days sometimes he wants to be, well, more than that.
OR: Kaz is discovering both the perks of being loved and the mortifying ordeal of being known

Inej wonders if Kaz forgets, sometimes, that he’s human, that he’s just as fallible as any other eighteen-year-old boy made of flesh and bone.

Summary
They save Jester and Fjord and Yasha, they save Nila’s son, they save almost-slaves with broken bodies and broken minds who remind Caleb of the inmates of the asylum, of himself in the asylum, and everyone hugs each other and they are all so happy. They are relieved, they are blessed, they are happy. Caleb watches the celebrations the way he watches such things sometimes, when the noise and the energy seek to drill into him: he borrows Frumpkin’s eyes and sits on his own shoulders. Caleb’s skin feels, he cannot help that, but Frumpkin filters the rest. Caleb watches himself watch the room.

Summary
Whenever Caleb travels via familiar, he trusts the others to keep him safe. Mollymauk thinks the Mighty Nein take this responsibility too lightly. He’s right.
He knelt in front of the vulnerable wizard. It gave him satisfaction that the human fit neatly between his knees. If he’d wanted to make this short, he could have snapped the man's neck. Instead, he breathed. Something, the warmth or the smell, reached beyond the fey veil. The man stirred and gave a very slow blink, as one in the midst of a dream. His chin tipped up, gazing at the enemy looming over him with unseeing eyes, and in a soft, accented voice that Talisman remembered from the square, he asked, "Fjord?"
An actual sigh of pleasure slipped from his lips. It was too perfect. "No, my dear." He lifted two fingers, and in a voice of Power, he touched the man's temple. "Lock."
