Summary
It should not, he thinks, surprise him that he ends up at the Slat, the black-painted ramshackle of a structure still leaning as precariously as ever. But, he is surprised all the same, just faintly, when the building stands before him, looming as it has for the entirety of his time in Ketterdam.
--
Or: Jesper grapples with loss, the sting of all the Crows going their separate ways, and learns that forgiveness comes in varying shapes. -

Summary
Brick by brick, he thinks, finding some dark humor in how the meaning has changed. Perhaps he should find another way to describe the process. But no, this one serves well—brick by brick, he'll dismantle this wall he's built, leaving himself bare under her gaze.

Summary
Because even though it's been five months and three weeks since she left, there's a rattle in his ribs that aches with her gone. He hates it, how much he misses her. It feels like a weakness, one he keeps thinking someone will find out if they look in his direction for too long. As though he's become as transparent as glass between her being here and her leaving.
(A five times fic).

Flufftober 2022 Day 10 Prompt: love language
She thinks of Sankta Margaretha and the hundred other things he has gifted her. All the little ways he has shown her that he cares, that he listens, that he sees her. There is not a moment in her day, in any place she calls home, that a piece of him is not with her.
Or, Kaz Brekker's love language is gift giving and he loves Inej most of all.

"Is that- Do I smell poffertjes?"
Kaz exhales a half-laugh. "You're like a hound for street food."
"Did you bring me poffertjes?"

Summary
Kaz is trying to be better about the whole armor thing; he really and truly is. He’s not stupid about it, obviously- he’s still Dirtyhands, Bastard of the Barrel and leader of the Dregs. Just the other night he snapped some bruiser’s elbow so it pointed the wrong direction during a dispute about smuggled jurda on the docks. It’s just that these days sometimes he wants to be, well, more than that.
OR: Kaz is discovering both the perks of being loved and the mortifying ordeal of being known

It’s a common joke among Barrel boys. Oh, it’s your birthday? Yeah the stadwatch gave it to me as a present.

Summary
Kaz is prepared to bribe the owners of the other gambling halls not to admit him—he’s prepared to send some of the younger Dregs to beat Jesper to a mild pulp every time he tries to enter the Barrel, if necessary—but he hopes it won’t come to that. If you could beat an addiction out of someone, Jesper would have been cured years ago.
“What, then? Spit it out.”
The other man pauses at the window, staring out at the rain, and swallows before finally saying, “Wylan asked me to marry him.”

Summary
“I can see the headlines now: Un-pickable lock picked. Could this be the work of Dirtyhands?”
Kaz snorts, gloved fingers already working.
“Then again,” he continues, “maybe they’ll finally stop calling you that. You know – since you’re clearly so good with your hands.”
Kaz tenses. “What?”
Jesper’s grin turns positively feral, dark eyes glinting. “But nobody but our dear Inej would actually know about that, now would they?”
----Or, everyone in the Barrel assumes Kaz is having sex with Inej and he's not sure how exactly he feels about that.
