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.

Summary
It was a story they’d told each other often, over too much kvas. A running joke between them, what they would do if they ever decided to leave it all behind.
She’d never dreamed they actually would.
Inej, and Kaz, and what comes after.

Summary
He continued on, speaking of Kaz’s good deeds, of the great man that lay in hiding behind the terrible one. Of Kaz’s legendary brains, unbelievable grit, and overwhelming impact on the city he called home. As he spoke, he noticed movement in the back of the crowd. Fighting? Fleeing? Wylan couldn’t tell. The ripples grew wider, men and women tripping over themselves to move away from the center of the street. Suddenly a path cleared, as though the crowd had been cleanly torn in half by the point of a sharp knife.
“Inej,” Jesper breathed.
OR: All of Ketterdam is left reeling in the wake of Kaz Brekker’s death. Despite his frequent objections to the concept, there are mourners and a funeral.

Summary
Jack had never left her, not really. Rose thought she was imagining him at first, and then she wondered if she’d simply gone crazy. But as the weeks and months and years passed, she became accustomed to his presence. Comforted by it and maybe even reliant on it. She’d never told Ben or anyone else about him, and she’d never stopped loving him.

Summary
It’d been a few months since their arrival in Paris and Cosette was as happy as she could ever remember being. The man she’d come to call her father never made her clean or sweep or fetch water when it was cold outside. He never hit her or raised his voice or made her sleep on the floor. The absence of these behaviours was all it took to endear him to her, and she woke each day with a warmth in her heart and a song on her lips.
***
For Cosette week 2020!
