Summary

Of course, Kaz Brekker has no intention of going quietly.

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
“Before what?” demanded Jordie.
Inej’s gaze bored into them, for a moment. Finally, she said:
“Before I try to convince Kaz that you’re not imposters, that he should have strangled and thrown into the harbour.”
Jordie’s neck prickled, thinking of the hard-eyed stare in the Crow Club.
“I’ve been in enough harbours for one lifetime, thank you.” he said.
He was rewarded with a very faint smile.
“...you’re not as dissimilar as he’d like, you know.”

besting impossible odds is apparently a genetic trait, because jordie is definitely not as dead as kaz thought.

Summary
"Foggy, you need to calm down, this isn’t a big deal, it was in college, it’s not like you’re still in love with me.”
As soon as Foggy says, “Uh-huh,” he knows he’s fucked. His voice cracks in the middle of it so even without Matt’s freaky heartbeat-lie-detector skills he’d be able to tell Foggy is a dirty liar.
Foggy wishes for another alien invasion as Matt’s eyes grow wide behind his glasses.
“Oh,” Matt says.

Summary
‘But, ah, it all just comes down to one thing, doesn’t it? You, on the verge of leaving. Leaving somewhere, anywhere. And you cannot. That’s a simple fact: this mustn’t be a circle, I refuse … we … I wasn’t even aware we were a possibility still. So, goddamn it, Newton, I am not letting you go. You’re going to stay here. And if, if you must go, because of some goddamned ticket or some such, I’ll go with you. Schedule compatibility be damned.’
[Written for the prompt 'Just this once' – Newt and Hermann return to Stockholm after the drift, and try to tie the loose ends.]
