and when i break (it's in a million pieces) - a kanej fic

In the present: Inej has returned to Ketterdam and is struggling with her grief. It's been five years, and she's not sure how to move on. She's known grief for so long, she isn't sure she can un-know it

Five years ago: Kaz and Inej have been learning to remove their armor, piece by piece. Then, one night, tragedy strikes.

Grief is the price we pay for love, but is it worth it after all?

Inej is learning to let go and move on, but it's not easy.
