From the Moment I Opened My Eyes by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
02 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
“Off,” Wylan mutters, lips turned down and pouty, staring at Jesper’s trousers like they’re committing a personal offense against him. He supposes they might as well be, getting in between them like they are, when it only seems right that nothing should be. “Get these off.”
Or: They have the night off. Wylan and Jesper, falling and reaching for each other.

Gifts Wretched and Devine by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
22 Nov 2024

Summary
"You got this... for me?” Wylan asks. He stares in bewilderment at the little pocket watch, its smooth metal somehow insurmountably weighty in his palm. “… Why?"
“Because… you said you needed a new one?” Jesper phrases it as a question, though he’s only stating a fact. Wylan’s confusion is, evidently, contagious.
In which gifts are a touchy subject.

Aubade, in Bed by Jazzythursday

Summary
He wakes up to Wylan tapping silent melodies against the ridges of his ribs, over the apex of his heart.
“Are you composing on me again?” Jesper asks groggily, in lieu of good morning. He cracks one eye open, squinting against the shock of early light. Wylan just hums distractedly in vague affirmation. It has a sweet, melodic tone to it that Jesper would bet a not insignificant amount of kruge on being in the key of whatever song Wylan is still playing on his torso.

Heart Of The Country by Jazzythursday for voidandsaturn

Summary
It’s a funny thought: the house beside the old jurda farm as home. It isn’t, really. It hasn’t been for a long, long time. Home became, at some point, his room above the Crow Club, where he could hear Kaz pacing around his office at night above him and the rowdy, boisterous noise from the club below. Home became his and Wylan’s shared room at the Slat. The one with the paint chipped walls and the leaky pipes and the brassy, artless key Wylan still wears around his neck, long after they’ve moved out. And after, slowly but surely, it became the Van Eck mansion; all the towered ceilings and too many rooms of it.
But the farm will always be home to him too, he supposes. The way the place you grew up will always be.
Or, a series of happenings at the Fahey family farm, one year post-Crooked Kingdom.

Fashionably Late by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
19 May 2024
Tags
Summary
He chooses everyday to be himself anyway, even if sometimes he isn’t quite sure yet what that means.
Tonight it means letting Jesper spirit him away for a date, the location of which is a mystery that Wylan is nowhere near as put out by having to wait to find out as he pretends to be. It means his hair is long enough to curl like his mother’s and his suit is at least three shades too close to blue to be considered appropriately mercher black. It means he’s wearing pearl earrings one of Jesper's rings and maybe a little bit of makeup. His father would hate all of that, and Wylan chooses to believe that it doesn't matter, that he doesn’t give a single one of Kerch’s three flying fish what his father thinks and never will again.
Date night, or the precursor to it. Jesper has certain thoughts about punctuality and surprises, and Wylan has thoughts about Jesper.

Call and Response by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
09 May 2024

Summary
Having fun is an effort, and it’s a taxing game he knows how to play, how to stretch for as long as he can, because it’s worth it. Wylan doesn’t reach for words, he thinks in music anyway. He’s focused on being here, too much to divert attention to talking about it. Like a generator conserving energy to keep the power going, sacrificing some things in favour of more important ones.
A night out in the Barrel. Clubs are loud, and Wylan is quiet. Neither of these things are a problem.

No Right Way for the Blue or Black Days by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
03 Apr 2024
Tags
Summary
Wylan wakes up alone.
He knows, immediately, that something is wrong. The only disturbance of the covers has been made by himself; the other side of the bed is untouched, except for where his hand had landed on Jesper's pillow during the night. The rest is left unruffled and empty.
He hadn’t come back.
Jesper has a run in with some debt collectors after a solo job, and comes back to the Slat bruised, bloody, embarrassed and, despite all insistence to the contrary, not fine. Neither of them take it well.

Everyday, Just a Little or a Little Bit by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
02 Feb 2024

Summary
Wylan keeps waiting for it all to go wrong.
Ever since that first night, after they beat Pekka Rollins, ever since the night after that, when it wasn’t over. Every morning since, when it still wasn’t.
Happiness isn’t reliable. Peace is not permanent. People do not stay. This is what Wylan knows; it’s the only proven hypothesis he has any reason to trust. And every day, he wonders how long he has left before everything good that’s happened over the last month is inevitably whisked away.
Or: the scenic route to the Van Eck reveal. Wylan Van Eck, in the months following the Crow’s return to Ketterdam. Struggling with his past, relearning love in its many forms, and worrying an awful lot about how to keep it.

Familiar Strangers by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
15 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
The night the Crow Club blows up, Jesper is worried, Jesper is annoyed, and Jesper is far too tired to waste time looking at unfairly attractive boys with big brown eyes and who still have all their fingers. That’s what he tells himself, anyway.
Except, as they follow Wylan back down through the rooftop exit and down the stairs to the main floor of the warehouse, Jesper keeps looking.
Or: the night the Crow Club blows up, according to Jesper.

Flight of the Butterfly / Symbiosis by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
14 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Patronising, he’d said, and Jesper hadn’t understood then what he’d meant. He still doesn’t, really, but he wants to. He’s afraid to push though, and he doesn’t think Wylan is likely to bring it up on his own. They haven’t really talked about it; they haven’t had the time. Between boarding the Hummingbird and setting their plans into motion, they haven’t really had a moment alone since that kiss outside of Oval’s house.
Or: travel time between Shu Han and Ravka. Jesper wanders onto the deck of the Hummingbird at night, restless and looking for… something, and finds Wylan instead. Conversations about sensitive topics ensue, and even Crows need sleep.

Taste of Home by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
13 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
“Dance with me.” Jesper says, stepping even closer until their chests are flush with each other.
“There’s no music,” Wylan states, though doesn’t give any more protest than that. He places his free hand against the small of Jesper’s back, feeling the lean dip of his spine through the fabric.
“With you, darling? There’s always music.”
Or: dancing in the kitchen after a long day with the Merchant Council. Jesper takes up baking, and everything is really, very sweet.

When I Try to Find My Way by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
10 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
The mansion has a hatch that opens out onto the roof. Wylan has never used it, but he knows it’s there.
He isn’t really sure how Jesper found it, but unless his Grisha powers now came with the ability to levitate or else fly, he evidently had.
Things after the auction are strange, to say the least. Rooftop conversations at the Van Eck mansion. Wylan makes a wish.

Careless Is the Fall by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
09 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
Wylan has experienced many falls throughout his life, both of the literal and figurative variety, but he never forgets the first.
He thinks his mother had made him tea afterwards, with extra honey and milk, but it may just as easily have been the nanny. Wylan doesn’t remember.
What Wylan remembers, with complete and crystal clarity, is the disappointment on his father’s face when he’d looked at him, even then. And the feeling on Wylan’s part that he never, ever wanted it to happen again.
An exploration on falling, and the hands that help you up.

I Need to Leave (Please Stay) by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
06 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
People leave, it is a theory proven time and time again. Tried and tested and true. People leave, so Wylan always, always leaves first. It’s the better way, the only way, to keep on with whatever semblance of life he’s living.
In which Wylan struggles through his first year in the Barrel, and tests a theory which garners surprising results.

Call to Rest/Call to Wake by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
06 Aug 2023
Tags
Summary
His routine has changed in the weeks following their triumphant return from Ravka.
Soft mornings at the Slat. Ketterdam has a rare sunny spell, and Jesper reflects on all the ways his life has shifted largely to accommodate the inclusion of one particular demo expert.

In careful moderation (of all good things) by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo

Summary
“Something to do with Funny Guns, I presume?”
“I don’t know what you mean,” Wylan says delicately.
“You’re lying,” Nina sing-songs. She tilts her head like she’s amused that he’d tried.
Your heart beats faster every time you look at him, he remembers her telling him once, eyes sharp and curious, during that first week after they’d all joined together to take down Pekka Rollins, and Wylan had found no defence against her then either.
In which biscuits are a valid form of currency for the transaction of information, cake is a convenient metaphor for working through some feelings, and everyone gets a nickname.

Science and Magic by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
10 Jun 2023

Summary
And then there’s the knowledge that Jesper has evidently been sitting almost completely still for hours. That even after everyone else left, he’d stayed in this empty, quiet room, in a position that surely couldn’t be that comfortable, just because he wanted to let Wylan sleep.
He doesn’t really remember the last time someone touched his hair for this long. It feels good. He doesn’t want it to stop.
Written for the prompt: “You fell asleep right on my lap. No no no, don’t feel bad. I actually thought it was pretty cute.”

Questions, Unasked by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo
30 May 2023
Tags
Summary
He lights up with it. Like the knowledge he collects needs to be poured out in bits before it overflows. He talks and explains and it’s fast and free and it’s so Wylan, through and through—and then it’s like he catches himself. Like he dims once he realises what he’s done.
Jesper listens.

Cutting Losses by Jazzythursday

Summary
Wylan is no stranger to one night stands. He can’t say he gets around very frequently, but enough to know the general plot of how they're supposed to go.
Flirt, drink, fuck, leave. The order isn’t necessarily set in stone, but the list ends the same every time.
He doesn’t even remember falling asleep, really.

Summary
Crowley, who’s gone unnaturally still in the waning light. Who’s all nervous smile and too long limbs. Who’s impossibly kind and altogether a bit too much to conceive of at any given moment. And who’s currently giving him such a comically bewildered look about it all that he almost chickens out of the whole damned thing.
Crowley, who says, “See something you like, angel?”
And Aziraphale, who is just enough of a bastard, responds, “You might say that.”
Or: Aziraphale quotes Shakespeare and kisses Crowley (and kisses Crowley, and kisses Crowley, and kisses Crowley).
Crowley only really minds the Shakespeare.
