u + me = <3 (forever)

Summary:

if there’s anything kaz brekker hates more than corrupt bigwigs, it’s corrupt bigwigs who take out their frustrations on himself and his fellow students. so, naturally, he recruits his witty band of crows to assist him in their downfall. the only issue is that they cannot take anything seriously to save their lives, even when discussing transgressions in their group chat. he loves them, though.

//

or, a wesper-centric six of crows highschool texting fic in which kaz plots against any teacher to breathe in the wrong direction towards him.

(i mostly started this because i wanted to have something small to update in case schoolwork caught up to me and i didn't want to write too much. but i'll try to update as often as i can because writing this is a lot more fun than i expected it to be.)
