    Summary

    “Jordie,” he says, slowly so Jordie can hear and understand. “This is a dream.”

    Jordie tilts his head, laughs boisterously, but there is no sound. Kaz cannot remember his brother’s laugh. He cannot remember his voice. The details are wrong because Kaz does not know enough to correct them. It is the same mistake every night.

    “No, it’s not,” Jordie corrects. He uses Kaz’s captured pawn to wave to the poppies. “Look at the flowers, Kaz.”


    OR: Kaz schemes, dreams, and avoids his feelings until they catch up to him with vengeance. Mostly at Nina's hands.

    Summary

    "How is it, that when she watches a seemingly obscure French documentary about an Orangutan, she’s somehow more smooth butter than the knife that cuts it?"

    //

    Blair Waldorf and Dan Humphrey are not friends. They saw a movie. Or five. It was winter. They were lonely.
    So why do they keep trying to find excuses to keep each other around?

    BRAID MOMENT

    Summary

    When Inej left the golden halls of her personal hell days after her fifteenth birthday, she flinched at the shadows. Two years later, the Wraith of Ketterdam made others flinch at her shadow instead. There were countless moments that forged the woman she would become, endless memories of late night stakeouts and heart-pounding fights that marked her time with the Dregs. But the remaking of Inej Ghafa began with a knife and an order to “be useful.”

    Or: The story of how Inej acquires her knives, keeps her faith, and reclaims herself in the two years between leaving the Menagerie and the job that changed her life.

    She shakes her head, feeling befuddled. “I don’t know what to tell them, Papa. What do I say?”

     

    He smiles sadly at her, and gently tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “You say whatever you need to. Tell them as much or as little as you want. It is your story to tell, when–if–you want to tell it.”

     

    Before she sets off to hunt slavers, Inej returns to the caravan.

    Summary

    It would be a very gentlemanly thing to do, she thinks, to offer his jacket to a lady, but for the fact that it’s a muggy midsummer evening and no extra layer of warmth is needed.

     

    He’s not being a gentleman, she decides, as she follows him down to the canal where he’s untying one of those funny little boats. He probably just doesn’t want to be seen taking a moonlit stroll with a whore.

     

    After being rescued from the nightmare of the Menagerie, Inej gets to know her new companion over contract negotiation.

    Summary

    “If you’re here for something honest and respectable, I’ll eat my guns piecemeal,” said Jesper. He scrubbed his face. “How long have you been telling those poor girls about your sick mother in Oldendaal?”
    “It was Zierfoort, actually.”
    “I don’t care where it was! What are you doing?”
    “I thought I wasn’t supposed to involve you in my schemes anymore.” said Kaz petulantly, glancing in the mirror to rearrange his jacket.
    “Kaz, you playing the victim is about as natural as a flock of lime-green flamingos, so don’t bother,” said Jesper. “Is it a heist? A blackmail job? Gathering information?”
    “Who said it was just one thing?” said Kaz, straightening his cuffs with two brisk jerks. “This place is the playground for the children of the rich and prosperous, Jes. I could have a million reasons for being here. But since you’re here for reasons both honest and respectable, I can assure you I’ll stay out of your way–”

    Summary

    “And have you made this entire call without once vexing or offending poor Miss Ghafa?”
    Captain Rietveld looked coolly at him. Inej bent her head over her sewing to hide her smiling, since she was not sure she would not laugh outright. She had not thought that Wylan would deliberately provoke the Captain, but perhaps his deference to his father did not reach anyone else.
    “I am sure that is not for me to decide,” said the Captain, “But I own I have been perfectly well behaved.”
    “Does he lie, Miss Ghafa?”
    “No— he has been quite tolerable company,” said Inej. “If not quite a perfect gentleman.”
    “You wound me, Miss Ghafa.”
    “I suspect I do not, Captain.”

    Summary

    Kaz was out of town when the Komedie Brute decided to have audacity in spades.
    Later, Wylan thought this was probably best. Giving the actors a grace period of about a week without having to worry about the presence of Kaz was probably a good thing.
    The real Kaz, that was.

    Summary

    It’s hard to make herself move again, but she clings to Matthias’ voice, the promise she made him, her yearning to know they might see each other again, in whatever lies at the other side of life. Logically, she understands she’s a little delusional, that she clings to the memory of his voice on her own, that if there’s haunting done, it’s her and her inability to let go that might disturb Matthias’ final rest.

     “Coffee?” she asks. Kaz nods, and mumbles something that sounds like a thanks. When Inej smiles, she feels it in every part of her body. After a quick brush against his knuckles, Inej pulls herself from her bed and feels the cold air on her skin; she grabs a shirt and slips it on over her vest before heading out.

    (She doesn’t need to wonder. The black fabric is rough and warm, the Kaz-scent of coffee and ink lingers on the collar)
