Ketterdam: a bustling hub of international trade where anything can be had for the right price-and Halo knows that very well. It's the whole reason she took up station there. To escape her past, find a new meaning for herself. Halo's offered the chance of a lifetime-work alongside Pekka Rollins and his Dime Lions. When the opportunity quickly turns sour and a crew of thieves and outlaws seem to be her last chance at redemption, she claws her way back out of the grave she dug. A convict with a thirst for revenge. A Parem addict with dark connections. A sharpshooter who can't walk away from a wager. A runaway with a privileged past. A spy known as the Wraith. A fugitive with a natural gift for the light. A Heartrender using her magic to survive the slums. A thief with a gift for unlikely escapes. (connected storyline/same universe as @probablyhales story: Gold and Gloom)

in an alternate universe, in which the dregs are still a gang, but with a twist... and that twist is that, just like everyone in the world, they have tattoos on their arms that say the first thing their soulmate calls them (other than their name), which will make for some... interesting... encounters. ships included: helnik (nina x matthias) wesper (wylan x jesper) kanej (kaz x inej) being uploaded on ao3 🏆#1 out of 145 in "#wesper" as of 11/06/2021 🏆#1 out of 162 in "#kanej" as of 12/05/2021
