    Summary

    “Don’t you want me to go downstairs or something? Shoot some cans in an alley?”
    “Any nub with a decent aim can do that,” said Kaz. “Besides, I need to be able to see you.”
    “What? You–” Jesper turned around and saw his elevated right leg, strapped into some kind of harsh metal brace over his trousers. “Woah. That’s new. What happened? You get your kneecap smashed, or something?”
    “I came off the roof of a bank and shattered my leg, and we still got away with thirty thousand kruge,” Kaz snapped. “Don’t lump me in with the sad sobs that get dragged outside the clubs and maimed. No one got the goddamn jump on me, alright?”
    “Alright!” said Jesper quickly.
    --
    how kaz got his cane, and how jesper got his job... and his ill-fated crush.

    Summary

    Kaz and Inej crisscross state lines, organizing workers into unions. Sometimes they win. Sometimes they lose. And one time, on a cold night in Pittsburgh, they lie together in a very small bed, and they talk. And more than talk.

    Our lives shall not be sweated, from birth until life closes;
    Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!

    Summary

    Summary

    “Of course I wear gloves,” Kaz says, a bit petulantly. “My office is in an ice rink.”

    Inej just looks at him.

    “It’s cold,” he finishes lamely.

    Or: Kaz Brekker is the general manager for the Crows, Portland's NHL team. It goes probably like how you'd expect.

    Summary

    The Darkling uses merzost once again, though this time he just wants to make something good, something for him. He succeeds. Baghra finds the result of his experiments and decides that he can never know that he has created a son. So, she sends the boy away, and he grows up far away from any thoughts of Grisha, the Little Palace, or even Ravka itself.

    Until sixteen years later, when one Kaz Brekker (the adopted son of the Rietvelds, though no one knew that particular detail about him) takes on a job to kidnap the Sun Summoner, and he and his crew find themselves in Ravka. Things start to get a little more complicated from there.

    Summary

    Kaz had never seen the cat before. He had no idea how she had gotten in. And yet, there she was sitting on his bed with her long thin tail wrapped around her, looking immensely pleased with herself in that way only cats can achieve. She blinked at him once, as if trying to trick him into believing that somehow or another she had been there all along. She had not been. Kaz sighed, leaned his cane against the nearest wall to free up both hands, and approached. Seeing what he intended, a shiver went over her as if of offense, and she slipped through his grasp like smoke. He turned, could not locate her. He checked the closet, under the bed, limped down the hallway, went back for his cane, and there she was on the bed exactly as before.

    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

    After a long moment, Kaz exhaled and leant back in his chair.
    "I can have him dead by tonight," He said, “If you don’t mind the Van Eck household getting involved.”
    Inej stared at him.
    “That's it? You’ll help?” She asked dubiously.
    Kaz frowned.
    “Would I have bothered to listen if I wasn’t going to?”
    "No 'what's in it for me'? What happened to never something for nothing?”
    "Well, it’s lucky for you that there's already something in it for me, isn’t it?"

    ---

    Inej needs a powerful man dead. Kaz, busy conducting 'renovations' across the West Stave and feuding with famous stage actors, is glad to have the opportunity to eliminate a threat.

    "Her hand is sticky with his blood, but her fingers entwined through his are oddly... tender."

    Summary

    Slowly, deliberately, Kaz set down the spatula and leaned his cane against the counter. Then, with both hands free, he caught her by the arm before she could leave – and turned her to face him directly. Her eyes widened up at him, enormous pools of molten caramel framed in those gorgeous black lashes.

    This was happening. He was doing this.

    It's what it says on the tin.

    Summary

    “Helvar and Inej are both far too nice for their own good. Thought you could use a heartless bastard for a while,” he says, giving her a sarcastic grin that doesn’t hit his eyes. “You look like shit, by the way.”

     

    “You sure do know how to make a lady feel special,” Nina says, reclining back onto the bed and wincing. “How ever does Inej resist it?”

     

    Kaz takes a turn on Nina Duty while she recovers from jurda parem. It goes about as well as expected.

    Summary

    Kaz has been building up his persona as a monster, a demon, for a while. The past has a way of catching up.

    Or: the fic where a religious zealot believes that Kaz is actually a demon and then tries to do something about that. Gratuitous whump.

    Summary

    Some say Keramzin House is haunted by the ghosts of those who've died over the decades - a half-wolf, half-man who roams the grounds, the smell of burning toast, and a roiling mass of darkness lurking in the shadows. No one knows the full extant of it until the house is inherited by a distant relative of the Duke of Keramzin, and the ghosts fight back.

    A Grishaverse Ghosts AU where the crows are ghosts, which means pretty much everyone dies. Please check the tags! The fic cycles through the deaths (seven in total) and finishes with Alina & Mal inheriting the house. If you need additional information about triggers, check the end notes. There are spoilers for the Grishaverse trilogy and for the UK version of Ghosts throughout.

    Summary

    Kaz only wanted to be left alone. He'd never killed any livestock or picked off any travelers that had strayed too far from the group. That doesn't keep Jan Van Eck from sending his men to capture the exotic beast for his circus. Under incredible stress at the hands of a brutal trainer by the name of Pekka Rollins, Kaz almost decides to give up hope.

    That is, until one of the acrobats in the circus volunteers to care for him.

    Summary

    Kaz and Inej are, clearly, in love. In Nina's mind, there's no doubt about it.

    The only problem is that Kaz and Inej, clearly, are also idiots river-deep in denial.

    But that's okay. Nina's here to help them along. By force, if necessary.

    (She's kidding by that.

    … Mostly.)
