❝ she loved him, but she kept pretending she didn't because she knew he didn't love her the same ❞ In which the Snake of Ketterdam slithers out from the cracks of the Barrel to raise her head and break some bones. 【 Kaz Brekker x OC】 【 Grishaverse au; Shadow and Bone ➝ Crooked Kingdom】 【 © Imaginebooks 】 【 Cover by @VRPond 】

Kanej, Wesper, and Helnik, but they meet in a different way! <ALL CHARACTERS AND EVERYTHING IS BY LEIGH BARDUGO! THE PLOT IS MINE THO>

Van Eck just went to jail. They all got their kruge. Inej is hunting slavers out at sea, Nina went to Ravka with Matthias. Everyone else is in Ketterdam. It all seems...peaceful. Like they finally were done with everything. Then the King of Ravka comes to visit with some damning news... Will they overcome the new issue at hand? Or will this be their demise? *ALL CHARACTERS AND PLACES BELONG TO LEIGH BARDUGO. THE PLOT IS MINE EVERYTHING ELSE IS HERS* <this takes place about five months after the events of crooked kingdom> <I will only be writing in Wylan and Jesper's POV because that's the only ones I know how to lol>

(Kaz x Wylan = Kylan) Kaz's nicknames for Wylan: Sunshine, baby bear, Wylan's nickname for Kaz: Kazzle dazzle, Love, angel The bastard of the barrel - Kaz Brekker, the monster under your bed,has never felt as broken and helpless as he does now. When Inej leaves him to pursue her dreams to become the captain of her own ship and crew, she leaves Kaz heartbroken in Ketterdam. Reeling from being abandoned again Kaz tries to fill the void by drinking and locking himself away to be alone in his misery. But a certain dreg won't let that happen. Wylan decides it's his job to get Kaz to open up about his feelings and the two become closer. Happy care free, joyful - Wylan Vaneck thought he had his whole life planned out. He and Jesper would get married when he turned eighteen and they were going to live on a farm and take care of homeless kids who had no place to go. They were going to host dinner parties with all Wylan's dads money and forget he ever existed. But when Jesper cheats on him with Kuwei, again he realizes he's had it. So he goes to Kaz for help. Together the two slowly learn that healing from things like this is a slow process and that they might need each other in more ways than just comfort. And maybe they realize they were meant for eachother... and that scares them. But they have gotten through so much together already, it was with their friends, but regardless, they did it together then, they can do it together now. Wylan Vansunshine and Dirtyhands, as one. Who woulda thought of this? Certainly not Nina.

How do you fight an enemy who never shows his face? The murder of crows must band together with a privateer prince to face their greatest challenge yet. But though Kaz is playing for the Dregs, Nikolai suspects that the future of the world is at stake. Has Dirtyhands met his match? Kaz's throne as ruler of the Barrel has toppled. Inej must reclaim her rooftop kingdom. Wylan is torn between two lives. Jesper knows something's up with Wylan. Nina is trapped as the shadows draw closer. Nikolai is hiding from a mysterious assassin. One thing is for sure - not all of them will walk away this time. No mourners. No funerals. "You're right," Kaz said, eyes black and unforgiving. "You were always right. It's not the tricks they feared, not the lies, the thieving. They don't need a broken boy-leader. But they don't need me." His face softened, just for a second, and he touched her cheek with bandaged fingers. "It'll be the last time, I promise. The last heist." And he dropped his hand, and he stood sharply. "See, the Mask has bested me before. But he's never fought Dirtyhands." A smile uncoiled across his face, slow and dark, a promise of violence. "They might not need me to beat him, Inej, but they need the monster. And I'm more than happy to deliver." A Six of Crows / Crooked Kingdom fansequel.

So I'm a giant Wesper fan, so im changing the ending of Crooked Kingdom and having only their POV's 😏 😉 my fantasies abt this are crazy so strap in y'all hehehe ALL THE PLACES AND CHARACTERS AND THEIR QUIRKS AND SUCH BELONGS TO LEIGH BARDUGO NOT ME GO CHECK OUT HER STUFF SHES A QUEEN

What if Jordie did not die of Firepox? What if, instead, when Kaz returned from the Barge, his brother was waiting for him. Firepox would leave them both forever changed, but how will the course of the rest of their lives go? What will happen to Jordie when he realizes his little brother is no longer the boy he knew before, and that he has been left with a shell of a boy with only one thing on his mind: vengeance? Kaz

There was only one who fought the red head of Ketterdam and survived, and that was none other than the bastard of the Barrel, Kaz Brekker. The two found a common interest, the blood thirsty desire to take down Pekka Rollins once and for all. The two seemed to form a bond with each other, one that none of the other crows could understand. Although the two seemed to be heartless criminals, they found comfort when the other was in their line of sight. Kaz trusted her, and she trusted him. Though neither of them knew the true reasons for hating Pekka Rollins, they knew that one day, they would work together and make him pay for all the sins he has committed

In which the title is the story setting, Wylan's father really does hate him, Rollins is a bullying teacher, and all the normal ships are ships

A story where our beloved charismatic and chaotic crew live in a modern version of Ketterdam. This story will focus a lot on the relationship-building of the beloved ships (including lots of fluff), as well of course be as intense and chaotic as ever. And well of course.... lots of waffles
