What would Jordie think if his little brother died in some nameless alley because he couldn't conquer some stupid sickness inside him? What anyone think if Dirtyhands was bested by some nobody looking to make a quick buck? Another thought came less easily, but managed to mount icy fear and prickling hot shame more than any other, What would Inej think? She had said she wanted him without armor, and now that it had been ripped away, he was going to die. She would come back from her year at sea and find him long dead and gone. Would she care at all? What if she had let him go? No. She wouldn't do that. Inej had always believed in him. She trusted him, cared about him, and never, never gave up on him. Everyone else had, hadn't they? He had to survive the night. Even if it was only for the childish hope, the small, stupid hope that she might come back to him someday.

The Shadow Crow (A Shadow and Bone: Season 2 Fanfiction)
A few days after Alina and I escaped the clutches of my brother, the former Ravkan general of the Second Army, Aleksander Kirigan, we parted ways. I went with Kaz Brekker and his gang of thieves, affectionately nicknamed the Crows, back to Ketterdam, while Alina Starkov and her friend, Mal Oretsev, left for other lands beyond the walls of Os Alta. In Ketterdam, I made a name for myself, aiding Kaz and the Crows in all manner of criminal behaviour, forgetting that I was ever the younger sister of the Black Heretic. But I've lost everything I've ever known. I don't know where my mother or my dear friend Genya is - sometimes, this new life is unfamiliar and uncomfortable, especially within the tight, damp spaces of Ketterdam, this sprawling criminal town that seems so big and yet so small. Or within the base of the Crows that I sometimes call home - or the feelings that I seem to feel for Kaz Brekker. Kaz and I still don't understand each other, and I don't think we ever will. Alina and Mal set off across the sea, and from what I heard, they were going in search of the second of Morozova's creatures, the Firebird. Alina hopes that with the help of the Firebird and the Stag as Grisha amplifiers, that she might be able to take down the Shadow Fold for good. I know that my brother, Aleksander Kirigan, did not die that day in the Fold, and that one day he would come to exact his vengeance upon his lost Sun Summoner and all of Ravka. As Kaz prepares to unleash fresh hell on old foes, and as Alina prepares to hopefully end the terror of the Darkling once and for all, I myself am preparing for a war on both sides. A war to protect my newfound friends and family, the Crows, and a war to protect my people, the Grisha.Complete

Tempest and Tide [Nikolai Lantsov]
Don't look so shocked, I'm nothing if not a negotiator," The privateer grins, tapping his chin in a mockery of thought, "Though I do so love exceeding people's expectations, so I suppose a bit of shock is inevitable. ~~~ childhood friends | strangers | lovers (the star crossed kind of course) Nikolai Lantsov x Grisha OC If you don't like dramatic irony this story will not be for you. ~~~ This is only canon for the first Grishaverse series.

Things that Hide in the Shadows (SB)
What bound them together? Greed? Desperation? Was it just the knowledge that if one or all of them disappeared tonight, no one would come looking? Being in the barrel was nothing easy. People's lives were lost and forever changed. No one came out the same and that included the crows. Kaz Brekker, aka Dirty Hands, Jesper Fahey, their sharpshooter, Inej Ghafa, also known as the wraith, and Manea Amuerzel who is known by some as the hollow woman, but to them she was the shadow, an unidentified person who lived and worked in the barrel with no affiliation to any gang. Now, a job is taking them across the fold into certain peril. How fun? Though in all honesty, who doesn't love a good adventure?Complete![The Kanej Story [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/159599157-256-k48364.jpg)
The Kanej Story [COMPLETED]
Please don't judge this too harshly I wrote most of this when I was 15. Based off of the Duology 'Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo'. A Kanej story. Some profanity. (Possibly a lot) Basically Kaz loses his gloves and Inej looks for them. Then they get in a fight and she leaves. How does Kaz deal with it?.....not well. __________________________________________ I have atrocious grammar and Spelling. And I do not know why but I just capitalize stuff that doesn't need to be. So beware. Highest ranking: #1 in kanej #1 in jesperfahey #1 in inejghafaComplete
Natalia | Niklaus Mikaelson
Natalia Petrova was never meant to survive her story, but Niklaus made sure she did. Where others saw a fragile girl, he saw a spark: cunning beneath the quiet, wrath beneath the quiet, wrath beneath the wounds. He killed the ones who broke her: her mother, her father, and the man who violated her without hesitation. Not for mercy. For her. Now, it was Katerina's turn to suffer. To Niklaus, Natalia was a mystery he couldn't compel, yet she always chose to follow. She supported his ambitions without demand, stood beside him through centuries of blood and betrayal. She believed in his dream to become a hybrid long before anyone else (other than his siblings) dared to. And though she had once believed intimacy meant pain, it was Niklaus who taught her otherwise. Gently. Patiently. He showed her that pleasure wasn't something stolen, but something shared. He was the first to truly know her, in body and in soul. Over time, she became more than his companion. She became his confidante. His calm in a world of chaos. He was her monster, but never to her. And she loved him for it. They were lovers before love ever entered the conversation. Friends with benefits before it even had a name. But make no mistake-Natalia is not Niklaus's shadow, no. Natalia is his equal. --- "Natalia | Niklaus Mikaelson" is only available on AO3 and Wattpad.
On the eve of Inej's last night in Ketterdam before she leaves to hunt slavers, Kaz reflects on what it means to lose her in the short time he has left with her. Will he work up enough courage to show her what she truly means to him before it's too late?
