If things had just been better...
Kaz Rietveld would be the brother of Jordie Rietveld- apprentice to Pekka Rollins. Kaz would be going to the University, a boy with a passion for magic tricks.
Inej Ghafa would be an acrobat, traveling Ravka, with a love for the high wire. She'd be visiting Ketterdam with her parents as a way to escape the war.
Jesper Fahey would be a university student, smart enough to know he'd get addicted to West Stave if he ever went, and whom no one ever wants to play darts with.
Nina Zenik would be a Grisha heartrender, a valued part of the second army, sent out of Ravka to recruit Grisha for the war effort.
Matthias Helvar would be a Druskelle, searching Ravka for Grisha, and accidentally getting himself into something way beyond his paygrade.
Wylan Van Eck would be the only heir to the Van Eck fortune, his dyslexia never holding him back- because his father can accept who he is: one of the most talented musicians in all Ketterdam.
But you can't really have all that without trading it for something else, can you? Because these crows need to save the world from Jurda Parem just as much as the originals did, without their learned skills to aid them. By chance or by luck, they become a crew, stealing Kuwei-Yul-Bo and his father from Fjerda together.

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
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![Tempest and Tide [Nikolai Lantsov]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/279229358-256-k529275.jpg)
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.

Now on the run from both the First and Second Army, Korina makes her way to the coast, hoping to flee to Novyi Zem on a merchant vessel.

A Pirate's ship. ~~~ Prequel to Shadow and Bone. warning ~ talk of sexual assault | nothing spicier than in the grishaverse books | Siege and Storm spoilers ~ obviously lol 27,000 words | fourteen parts | completedComplete

A Coin Has Two Sides (Season Two) || Kaz Brekker x OC
Every coin has two sides. The same can be said for people. Her name is Wysteria Kirigan. A rare type of Grisha. A shadow summoner. After the events of her trip to Ravka, chaos is taking over her life as she is trying to balance the conflicting sides of herself. The Ravkan side and the side of her that belongs to Ketterdam. Her light side and her dark side. The side of her that might love a certain Bastard of the Barrel and the side that is telling her not too. The question remains. Which side will she land on? [Kaz Brekker x fem!OC] Season Two SPOILER WARNING WARNING : This story involves some strong language, reference to sexual themes, and reference to physical and verbal abuse. NOTE : Hi everyone! Welcome to the third part of this series. This part follows the plot line of the second season of Shadow and Bone on Netflix. I would recommend going to read the first two parts to get some sense of the relationships between this OC and the other characters but I tried my best not to make it a necessity. As always, I can only take credit for the OC's in this fanfic. All other rights go to Netflix and the incredible Leigh Bardugo. GO AND STREAM SHADOW AND BONE We need our renewal and spin-off ... I hope you all enjoy reading this as much as I did writing it xxComplete

But Wylan promises to keep his secret for something in return. Will this new double life Jesper's now leading get him out of the frying pan or just toss him into the fire?
