Cingulomania
(n.) a strong desire to hold a person in one's arms
Cordelia Devereux, the Harpy, a Spectre.
Kaz Brekker, the Bastard, Dirtyhands.
Two unlikely acquaintances, even more unlikely friends. A girl whose only home was the Little Palace, her abilities an anomaly within the palace walls. A boy who built himself up from nothing in Ketterdam, pulling himself from the Reaper's Barge. A girl who runs to forget her past. A boy who has already buried his. Thieves, crooks, murderers. For years, the two have haunted the Barrel, side by side. They have never backed away from a job. But one sending them across the Fold may dig up a past best left forgotten.
Kaz Brekker x OC
{Kaz Brekker X reader}
Six words were often exchanged throughout the Barrel.
By urgent whispers or mid-day gossip, they always made their way around the slums of Ketterdam.
"Kaz Brekker didn't need a reason."
But upon Dirtyhands teaming up with a new girl in the Barrel, a question is sparked in the dirty heart of the city that never falls asleep and knows why you're awake.
What if the reason was you all along?
