Summary
Poker Night was simple enough. Show up at Clarke's every Thursday night. BYOB (no cans, always bottles), turn your phones off, don't get in the middle when Mom and Dad start to bicker, never mention Mt. Weather, and for the love of God don't bring any randos...It was simple. It really was. The thing about rules though? People can't help but break them.
aka five times someone ruined Poker Night and the one time all bets were off.

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
She knows the whole story now, of course. He’d told her in fits and starts, in small, quiet moments; his armour gradually sliding away. One night he’d allowed her to stroke his hair as he told it. Until he couldn’t anymore.
“I’ll always stop,” she’d told him, “if you need me to.”
She doesn’t stop now.
***
It’s thirteen years since Inej went to sea.
Kaz Brekker has taken to leaving Ketterdam for stretches of time and no one, not even Inej, knows why.
***
Post-canon Crows fic, largely Kanej focused but plenty of Wesper. Finished.

Summary
This is a collection of scenes from the trilogy - some that happened off page, some that I wish had happened. And Cardan's POV of the entire third book. This is super self indulgent.
Excerpt:
A faint brush against my palm. The gentleness of that touch frightens me, and I dare to break eye contact, glancing briefly at our joined hands. He’s drawing a very soft circle on my palm. The edges of the coin, he’s tracing them.
Terror sings up my spine. Cardan was looking for a weakness, and he just found it. My mutilated hand is viciously painful, more than I can bear, and he’s going to know. He’ll use it against me.
I lock eyes with him again. Wickedness is written into every line of his face.
“Cardan,” I try, “No—”- Language:
