Summary
Inej Ghafa is a principal dancer of the Kerch National Ballet, haunted by a past she'd rather forget. Kaz Brekker is a mob boss who holds the city in the palm of his hand.
Perhaps if all were right with the world, two such people would never meet. Or perhaps fate will always give those who need each other a push in the right direction.
It begins, as so many things in Ketterdam do, with a murder.

Summary
“Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side.
“I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?”
“Well, who would you suggest?”
Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?”
“Kaz has –
“We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly.

Summary
JAMES: No it’s not fine—God, Oliver it’s not fucking fine. Every time I imagined this it was better.
OLIVER: [hurt] Well—
JAMES: No, stop, I didn’t—I mean I was better. I mean, when you showed up, I was going to be happy to see you—
OLIVER: You’re not happy to see me.
JAMES: Oliver—Oliver no, I’m happy to see you, but I’m losing my mind so bad I shouldn’t even be on the road, Oliver, and I was going to be okay.
Oliver tracks James down, but figuring out what they are to each other now is difficult, terrifying, and complicated. AKA, another reunion fic, featuring high levels of guilt and angst.
