Matthiashelvar Stories

A miner's canary | noun: Any thing, especially an organism, whose demise or distress provides an early warning of danger. Down in the smoke-smudged streets of Ketterdam, there is a ballerina who dances on the street corners, with six fingers on each of her hands. She wears a good wool coat, holds her chin up high, but at the end of the night, she begs for pennies just like the rest of them. In a city like this, she is uncanny. Starkly different from the grimy Barrel-rats that have control down here. And in Ketterdam, it's no good sticking out from the crowd. Unusual attracts the worst attention possible. Everyone around here wants something that's one of a kind, and Kaz Brekker's always looking to make a new investment.

A girl with nothing except for her passion to perform is roped into the mess that is Kaz Brekker's plan to kidnap the Sun Summoner.

The worst game should be played with the best face. ©nuescmcaII [ Shadow & Bone ] [ female oc x Kaz Brekker ] Heartburn © @nuescmcaII

Damian Doe loves his job. Despite only being twelve, he's spent nearly three years as Kaz Brekker's second in command, weaseling his way up the food chain. He might not remember where he came from, which is why the others have taken to calling him a 'doe', but it's really no big deal! Kaz, however, is ambitious as ever. If he wants to run Ketterdam, he'll need more allies. As two crows become three, and then four, and so on... Damian is starting to realize there might be more to life than just being a Dreg. (Pre -Six of Crows)

anastasia morozova has been on the run for centuries. running from her brother, her mother, the people who hunt her for simply being gifted and powerful. she's moved from place to place, never staying anywhere for more than a few years, lest anyone realize that she isn't aging at the normal, human rate. she's traveled the world under a false name, although, in most places--apart from fjerda, where her kind are still persecuted--the world has grown far kinder than it had been even decades ago. her migration brings her back to kerch, specifically its capital city, ketterdam, where crime runs rampant in the streets. where better for a girl--born only to bring down her brother--to hide than a city that harbors criminals, refugees, and people in her exact situation, those who desperately want to remain lost? in which the lady of shadows is hiding in plain sight, and the sharpshooter finds light in her darkness.

the choices we make determine one's path in life, especially in a world so twisted. alaiya kane had never been one to be involved in a fight, you'd probably find her on the opposite side of the scene. so how did the kind hearted grisha tidemaker disguised as a useful inventor from novyi zem ended up becoming a member of the team breaking into the ice court led by none other than ketterdam's most feared criminal prodigy, kaz brekker? soc fanfic [lowercase intended]

TW: Swearing, trauma, don't read this if you haven't read soc or ck

I just go bat-shit crazy about books and occasionally offer anecdotes about life, which, as already established, sucks. Sometimes might upload a poem/snippet of a major story project I'mm working on with two others. Contains explanations for why I haven't updated in literal years

Lovella Inez Brekker; a force to be reckoned with, feared or respected among the barrel, dependant on who you ask, but at this moment she was just a girl. A girl who was trapped in the past, destined to stay there forever wondering on how things got so out of hand. #sixofcrows #kazbrekker #inejghafa #grishaverse #jesperfahey #wylanvaneck #matthiashelvar #ninazenik

Julia Lawerence is new to Ketterdam. Thankfully she's got Kaz Brekker watching out for her unknowingly. Through a seemingly random series of events, Julia Lawerence is brought into his most daring heist yet-the Ice Court. - I do not own any of the characters or setting except for Julia Lawerence. Leigh Bardugo own the world and the characters aside from the OC. - No smut or language. - Cover page is pending; Will have an official cover later. - I try my best with the grammar, but this is largely unedited aside from Google Docs recommendations.

dont cry, matthias is alive in this one. this is how i imagined life of our favorite group after croocked kingdom [when i was in the middle of it]. enjoy, i guess. ps: thank you Leigh Bardugo

Three years came and went, and Ketterdam is gradually repairing itself from the damage caused by the infamous Kaz Brekker, also known as the bastard of the Barrel or Dirtyhands. Wylan Van Eck and Jesper Fahey are in a close relationship and living in a house that previously belonged to Jan Van Eck, a jailed mercher and Wylan's father. Nina Zenik is living an exciting life in Ravka with her fellow Grisha and Inej Ghafa lives a free life on her vessel, the Wraith, and hunts slavers. The five of these criminals' paths merged to bring havoc to Ketterdam and have since lead them in many different directions. Despite the recovering city's best efforts, something is brewing once again in Kerch that will bring these theives, thugs, and soldiers together once again. These characters do not belong to me, nor does the story, settings, and ideas presented. The front cover and any other art in this story are mine. Leigh Bardugo and her amazing crew of editors and publishers otherwise own all rights to this work. If you have not read the Six of Crows duology, I highly recommend that you do so. Please enjoy and give me any feedback you may have.

❝Fear is the relinquishment of logic, the willing relinquishing of reasonable patterns. We yield to it or we fight it, but we cannot meet it halfway.❞ °.✩┈┈∘*┈🌙┈*∘┈┈✩.° So leave a light on, I'm coming home It's getting darker, but I'll carry on The sun don't shine but it never did And when it rains, it fuckin' pours, but I think I like it And you know that I'm in love with the mess, I think I like it. 「 N.

"I can't get his face out of my head," Nina grabbed her knees and cried. "I wouldn't either," Kaz said, "No, not when he died. For the last two weeks I've seen him. In Hell. The plaything of... a Man in Black." She gulped. "What?" "Matthias was a man of his faith, how could he go to Hell," she said to herself. "The man. He reminded me of the Darkling." A story about Kaz pulling off the greatest heist ever. Stealing a soul from the afterlife.

Six of Crow duology memes! DISCLAIMER: All character and settings belong to Leigh Bardugo DISCLAIMER: The memes are not made by me unless specified otherwise

Just some stuff I wrote while I was bored. A lot of rewritten Six of Crows moments and Kaz stuff because he's the best. P.s. Becky if you read this please give me stupid ideas to write about.

Random Six of Crows content. Mostly oneshots. TW: swearing, trauma. If you haven't read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom/are triggered by their content, don't read this

The bastard of the barrel. Kaz Brekker. After years of heisting, working, and killing, Kaz still feels something is missing. He has everything. Money. Notoriety. Power. What else could he need?

I read the Grishaverse duologies and don't know how to deal with it so this a piece of self service about Kaz finally telling his friends about his backstory. All rights and characters belong to the wonderful Leigh Bardugo. Takes place right after Rule of Wolves, so, spoiler alert. *also, I know the end of RoW was rather open ended but in this fanfic Hanne is trans and goes by he/him.*
