    Summary

    Twenty-eight months after Kuwei Yul-Bo was shot dead and the plague sirens sounded throughout Ketterdam a new and terrifying sickness sweeps through the Barrel: a plague with a unique connection to Jurda Parem. But this time it’s not the Grisha who need to fear. It’s everyone else. This becomes that, and like no longer calls to like, forcing old crows to wing back to Ketterdam as chaos unlike anything they have seen before erupts through the Barrel, threatening to destroy all of Ketterdam and plunge the world into war.

    But it's a more personal fear that haunts Inej, Nina, Jesper and Wylan when Dirtyhands goes missing at the start of the plague outbreak. Now the Crows must grapple with the sorrow that Kaz may be dead and the even greater terror that the Etovost scourge has turned the Barrel's resident monster into a living nightmare hell-bent on destroying them all.

    Post-canon AU where a new Jurda Parem variant transforms normal people into Grisha. Starting with the Barrel Bosses. Uh-oh!

    Summary

    In a story of star-crossed brothers, where Kaz's grisha powers save Jordie but don't save him from Pekka Rollins, Kaz becomes the Bastard Saint of the Barrel; Rollins personal Healer and the most feared Grisha to haunt Ketterdam's seedier streets. This upsets Jordie quite a bit. In an attempt to pay off Kaz's indenture, and save his brother from the threat of Jurda Parem, Jordie Rietveld, Dregs Lieutenant and confidence man, makes a deal with Jan Van Eck to perform an impossible heist.

    Naturally, Kaz, busybody extraordinaire, is not about to let his brother screw up in a foreign land alone. He's going to steal his brother's heist and one Bo Yul-Buyur --or his nearest relative, whatever works best --and save his idiot big brother from a Fjerdan prison. And if this means running out on Rollins -well, thirty thousand Kruge should be more than enough money to pay his way out trouble. Right?

    Summary

    Kaz Brekker is the Sun Summoner. He is not a saint. He is a Crow and he is not alone. Ravka has been warned. In this calamity of bossing the Fold, extorting Ravkan royalty and angering the governments of every known nation in the world you will find the following:
    Darklings getting shot!
    Jesper Fahey's school of Durast sharpshooting! (unrelated)
    Certain Second Army Generals desperately wishing for nice, innocent teenage girls to gaslight. Instead dealing with corrupt teenage boys who want their money. Now!
    Ravka's first plaid kefta (absolutely Jesper's fault)
    Kaz Brekker's school of resource management (yes, the First Army do need bulletproof keftas!)
    Regicide (Hello Genya! Inej approves!)
    Sankta Inej, the Holy Wraith!
    Wylan the first Otkazak'sya Fabrikator in history!
    Genuine Sun Saint canes available for the low, low price of...
    Everyone, everywhere wanting Kaz dead. And all at once!
    Revolution. Multiple. Large and Small.
    Jan Van Eck. Yes, really.
    Potentially one unlucky Druskelle having a very strange time in the name of love.

    Summary

    “What did you do?”

    [...]

    “I punched a guy,” she’d blurted out and his eyebrows shot up, eyes snapping up to meet hers.

    “You punched a guy?”

    “I punched a guy.” To prove her point, Inej showed him her slightly purple hand, knuckles swelling.

    His eyes lit up slightly, bitter coffee shade changing into a warm, dark tea in the afternoon’s sunlight. It was clear he was amused — she could see it in the small quirk of his lips.

    Summary

    “This may have been one of the best ideas you’ve ever had,” Kaz murmurs form the other side. Inej watches as he sinks into the water, steam billowing against his pale chest. He opens his eyes, his mouth turns upwards. “You should make the plans more often.”
    “I’ve only been telling you that for two years now,” she smirks. The laugh reverberates freely in his chest, and Inej hadn’t counted on how reassured that would make her. When he breathes out, it's steady, unrestricted.
