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.All Rights Reserved

Things that Hide in the Shadows (SB) by demonlover07

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?

A Study in Music Theory (Wesper AU) by cult-dionysia

It looks like Jesper's luck has finally run out. He seems to be owing a lot of people a lot of money, and unfortunately for him, the Dregs don't seem to be paying enough to fuel his addiction. There's only one person in Ketterdam more desperate than him: Jan Van Eck. Apparently he's been looking for a new music teacher for his precious son. It's an easy second job that Jesper manages to con himself into. The only problem: Jesper can't play shit. And his new student, Wylan Van Eck, catches on. 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?

Tempest and Tide [Nikolai Lantsov] by the_book_wyrm

"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) ~~~ This is only canon for the first Grishaverse series. When I wrote T&T, I hadn't read Six of Crows or King of Scars so there won't be any spoilers. ~~~ Lying never came naturally to Korina. Even after years of friendship with the most cunning boy in Ravka she still hasn't mastered the craft. So after Nikolai left it was only a matter of time before the truth came out. She skipped her Grisha examination thirteen years ago and now they want her back. 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. She's close enough to freedom to taste it on the salty air when she makes her first mistake. She gets on the wrong ship. A Pirate's ship. ~~~ If you don't like dramatic irony this story will not be for you. | 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 | completed

Fragments *KANEJ* by in_your_walls327

The kanej story I personally wanted to read but couldn't find a good one so I'm writing it myself. TW mentions of sa, abuse, death, blood, anxiety, PTSD, and touch aversion/haphephobia and other disturbing topics. *((SHADOW AND BONE AND SIX OF CROWS SPOILERS))* also contains other ships such as wesper and helnik/matthina "I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker, or I will not have you at all." After leaving for a year, Inej Ghafa comes back to Ketterdam. They want each other, that much is obvious. But it's not that easy to obtain Kaz's full self. Inej will have to help him slowly rearrange his broken pieces into a semblance of a man. But what will they have to go through to get his wall to break and his heart to be fixed? A/n: this is my first real fanfiction I've written soooo enjoy please :) don't be too harsh, if you don't like it just don't read it Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters, just the plot

The Shadow Crow (A Shadow and Bone: Season 2 Fanfiction) by WinterPhoenix123

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.

Beauty of Annihilation (Kaz Brekker x fem!Reader) by HisCrookedSaint

UNDERGOING HEAVY EDITING :) Y/N Khaosa had always been alone, at least that she can remember. At the young age of fifteen, she found herself on a boat that led from Ravka to Kerch, specifically Ketterdam. When her golden opportunity comes to seek an adventure, she finds herself on a one-of-a-kind heist. With Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, and Jesper Fahey: the Crows. She finds her heart yearning and growing with feelings for one Crow in particular, the darkest of them all. Kaz too finds his heart yearning for Y/N overtime. (The plot and storyline will be based on the Netflix Series: Shadow and Bone) (The cover was made from pictures from Pinterest) NOTE: I do not own Shadow and Bone / Six of Crows; all of the rights belong to the owners, creators, writers, Leigh Bardugo, and Netflix.

A Coin Has Two Sides || Kaz Brekker x OC by beingobsessedisfun

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. A traumatic past follows her everywhere in the form of the shadows, the shadows she can control, but for how long can she keep them at bay? Repeated abuse will do things to a person, and Wysteria Kirigan is no exception. Battling with the memories of her past whilst trying to keep herself sane presents its difficulties, especially when you have so few good memories to snuff out the overwhelming number of bad ones. But what happens when she meets a few sneaky individuals in Ketterdam of which includes a man who holds the power to either be the best thing for her or the worst? [Kaz Brekker x fem!OC] #1 in kazbrekker [06/05/23] (WILD ... thank you all sm xx) WARNING : There is some strong language, reference to sexual themes, verbal abuse, and physical abuse. If any of these things might trigger you AT ALL please go and read one of the other incredible fanfics :) NOTE : Hi everyone :) This is my first ever fanfic so please judge me lol. This is a totally original plot line but I will be releasing fanfics with this OC based on the Shadow and Bone series on Netflix too. I would really recommend reading this first before you go to the others because everything will make a lot more sense to you haha. Of course all rights to Leigh Bardugo for the amazing crows and other Grishaverse related characters and places ;) I really hope you guys enjoy :)

A Coin Has Two Sides (Season Two) || Kaz Brekker x OC by beingobsessedisfun

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 xx
