Summary
The kid in front of Haskell’s desk was hell to look at— a plague orphan, he could tell that much. His face and neck were still marred with the slightly reddish pits that the pox left behind, even months later, and he was gaunt with sickness and malnutrition, bones jutting hard and nasty. They’d have pinned him down as a weakling, before the plague. But that was before. Now, in the miserable, scraping afterwards, not only was he alive, but half the gambling halls and gangs on the Lid were desperate to have him— or so Seeger said, anyway. Haskell didn’t know why this kid wanted to be in the Dregs, when the Razorgulls were practically throwing cash at him, but he wasn’t going to count his chickens. Maybe he preferred crows to gulls.

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
A strange rift forms around the country of Kerch, making it impossible to enter or leave the country or contact anyone outside. The Crows find themselves separated by poor timing and the formation of this seemingly unconquerable obstacle. In the years following, Kaz finds himself living in a world without his friends, truly alone for the first time since his rise to the top of the Barrel, and at risk of losing much of the progress he has made since the Ice Court.
Or--- in lieu of anything exciting happening, Kaz Brekker decides he will clean up Ketterdam himself.

Nina finally came to herself and burst out into the aisle to confront Kaz, indignant.
“You said we were needed for a job at a wedding!”
“You are,” said Kaz briskly, taking the ledger from Rotty and flipping through it.
“I thought we’d be robbing some mercher event! Doing a real job!”
“That’s your folly. Besides, I haven’t told you what you have to do, yet.”
“This is your wedding!"
Kaz looked blankly at her.
“Did I say it wasn’t?”

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
In time, he almost forgot what he had once been able to do. Water was his most ardent foe, not an ally. Water was the bodymen’s boats, Reaper’s Barge, and Jordie’s corpse. The water had given, and could give him, nothing that he wanted. It would make no bargain with him that could be worth it– so he would not try. He eked out his fortune and his revenge with every bloody punch and petty swindle and broken bone. He ignored the hiss and slap of the filthy water in the canals that wended through the city, the roar of the waves at the harbour that smashed boats to pieces, the sinuous curl of the mist on wet nights that got you jumped if you weren’t paying close enough attention. The Ketterdam water had a touch of the mocking about it– a determination to be as awful and monstrous and polluted as he was. But Kaz didn’t need a reminder of what he’d become. The water had his brother; it would not have him, too.

Summary
Trapper John from the beginning to the end.
Chapter 1: John was bent at an invisible angle; no one seemed to see it, not even himself, unless the light was just so.
Chapter 2: Getting drafted was like going on the stupidest road trip of all time.
Chapter 3: "My understanding is Colonel Blake has reprimanded you and placed you on probation."
"Oh yeah. I'm very, very probated."Chapter 4: This was genuinely one of the classier wakes John had been to.
Chapter 5: It wasn't nausea John was holding back, but a scream.
Chapter 6: He only felt a momentary pang of guilt for the chaos their sudden departure would cause- prisoners had a duty to escape, after all.
Chapter 7: "You aren't going to hurt him, are you?"
"Of course not," Hawkeye said. "We're gonna find him a nice, cozy, compromising spot to sleep this off." -

Summary
Hamilton Burger should have known that a little affection and Perry would cave. That all it would take would be a few kind words and a soft touch, and next thing you know he had Perry in his lap. Invite a man over for a late night drink, tell him he’s quite the worthy courtroom opponent, that you’re almost, one might dare say, proud of him, and viola. One Perry Mason, signed, sealed, and delivered.
But it all collapses when Perry says the wrong name as he comes. The wrong name. A familiar, wrong, name.

"Cos! Thank God you're alive, I thought my double act was about to become a single," Don said. "Where have you been?"
"In jail," Cosmo whispered back, "Happy birthday."
Don clapped him on the shoulder. "Thanks; you're a little late, but... in where?"
"Keep your voice down," hissed Cosmo, just as a hail of applause blew the curtain back and practically deafened him. "In jail."

“HAND OVER THE RAVKAN, OR WE WILL BREAK IN.” A man wearing the silver badge of a stadwatch captain bellowed at the wrong window.
“Like hell you will.” Brekker growled to himself, standing reluctantly and limping to the window.
Inej just shook her head.
“They won’t have any intelligence. Kaz is just the prime suspect whenever anything goes wrong for the Merchant Council.”
The prime suspect sighed deeply, shoved the window open with his cane, and leant out.----
Inej acquires a rather valuable political prisoner. Kaz acquires a burning hatred for him.

Summary
Jean Bart could see why the young captain was beloved by his men. He’d been on the man’s ship for less than a day and already felt a sense of loyalty toward him—and not just out of gratitude for freeing him. Yes, he was more thankful than he could ever put into words to Trafalgar Law for severing his collar, but it was the kindness and humanity he and his men had shown him since then that truly touched Jean Bart. He was quite aware of how rare such traits were among pirates.

Summary
Shachi barely had time to register the blue dome spreading over him before he found himself face-down in a pile of snow several feet from where he had just been standing. He sat up, sputtering, while Law laughed. Shachi felt his own lips turning upward as he pushed himself to his feet; he liked the sound of Law’s laugh and wanted to hear it more. He was far more familiar with the sound of Law’s whimpers and gasps from nightmares, and if it took being the butt of a joke or two to get the kid to laugh, Shachi could handle that.

Summary
He’s a little thing, maybe four or five years old if she had to guess, and that would be concerning enough considering he’s alone in the woods, a quarter of the way up a mountain and at least a mile away from civilization all by his lonesome. But Nami’s always been the observant type of person; had to be, to get by for most of her life, and to be a good navigator, and this kid? This kid is setting off all the warning bells in her mind. Not the kid himself, mind you; but at all the little details that are telling her that he really should not be here.
When Law goes missing during a stop on a quiet, out-of-the-way island, the Hearts and the visiting Straw Hats immediately drop everything to find him. But instead of the captain, they find a small boy with a familiar face who just wants to go home.
As investigations into the strange nature of the island and what has happened bear fruit, both crews are left with the uncomfortable realization that they don't know how to predict how or if Law will be able to return.
Or worse: if he'll even want to come back at all.

With Wylan Van Eck sitting on the Merchant Council, and the Wraith hunting slavers in the True Sea, it finally feels like someone might actually be there to listen.
