❄️Christmas with the Crows❄️

✨❄️��️✨❄️☃️✨❄️☃️✨❄️☃️✨

The Slat had never been so festive. Jesper had insisted on decorating for the holiday, and though Kaz had begrudgingly approved the expense, he’d set a strict budget (“We’re not running a charity, Jesper. Use what’s left in the vault after you’ve stopped raiding it.”). Thus, the decorations were an eclectic mix of stolen goods, homemade crafts (thanks to Inej), and some questionable black-market purchases.

“Doesn’t this place look like a dream?” Jesper said, throwing his arms wide as strands of mismatched tinsel drooped from the beams above.

“It looks like a fire hazard,” Kaz muttered, leaning heavily on his cane.

It had been Nina’s idea to have a Secret Santa. “We deserve a little holiday spirit,” she’d declared, ignoring Kaz’s groan. “Besides, we could all use some fun.”

Names were drawn at random, with Jesper attempting to peek at everyone’s picks until Wylan slapped his hand away.

“No cheating, Jes!”

“It’s not my fault if someone’s handwriting is legible upside down.” Jesper grinned, unapologetic, as he twirled the slip of paper in his fingers like a magician revealing a card trick. “Besides, I need to know who I’m blessing with my impeccable taste.”

“Blessing us with bankruptcy, more like,” Wylan muttered, tugging the paper from Jesper’s hand before he could get a better look at the others.

Come Christmas Eve, the Dregs were gathered in the dimly lit corner of the Crow Club, the space which usually thrummed with tension was now alive with an almost foreign warmth. Beneath a slightly lopsided tree gifts were piled high. The air buzzed with anticipation as Jesper fiddled with the makeshift tinsel, swatting Wylan’s hands away from his “adjustments.”

Nina was the first to dive into the pile, tearing into her gift with such ferocity that Kaz visibly winced at the shredding sound of the paper. When the wrapping fell away, it revealed a beautifully embroidered shawl in deep red and gold. For once, Nina was speechless, her fingers brushing tracing the intricate patterns.

“Inej,” she said knowingly, her voice softer than usual.

Inej nodded, her eyes warm with the quiet satisfaction of a well-chosen gift. “It seemed fitting for someone as vibrant as you.” she said simply.

Nina wasted no time draping the shawl over her shoulders. She stood, striking a regal pose as if she were holding court. “I am the queen of Ketterdam!” she declared with a dramatic flourish. “Behold, my royal warmth. Bow before my elegance or risk my wrath.”

Jesper immediately dropped to one knee, hand pressed to his heart. “Your Majesty,” he intoned gravely.

Matthias sat rigidly in his chair, his gaze drifting toward Nina and lingering just a heartbeat too long. The faintest flush crept up his cheeks as he quickly averted his eyes. “You’re insufferable,” he muttered, his gruff tone betrayed by the subtle twitch at the corner of his lips.

Jesper’s gift was next, he tore into the wrapping with a dramatic flair, scattering bits of paper everywhere. Beneath the layers, he revealed a sleek holster made of dark, supple leather, its surface embossed with swirling, intricate designs.

He let out a low whistle, his grin splitting wide as he practically bounced in his seat. “Wylan!” he exclaimed, holding the holster up as if it were a crown jewel. “This is... the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen—aside from you, of course!”

Wylan ducked his head, his cheeks coloring a deep shade of red. “I thought… well, I thought you’d appreciate something functional and—” He hesitated, his fingers fidgeting with the hem of his sleeve. “You know, with a little flair.”

Jesper was out of his seat in an instant, closing the distance between them. He leaned in, pressing a quick kiss to Wylan’s flushed cheek. “Perfect,” he murmured, his voice soft, full of affection. His fingers traced the designs on the holster, marveling at the craftsmanship. “Just like you”

Wylan’s blush deepened, his gaze dropping to his lap as a small, shy smile tugged at his lips. “You’re impossible,” he muttered.

Next, Matthias unwrapped his gift revealing a small, leather-bound book with a garish yellow cover. The title, How to Enjoy Life!, glared up at him in bold, oversized letters.

Nina leaned back in her chair, barely containing her laughter. “It’s from me,” she said, her voice a mix of sweetness and mischief. “A gentle nudge to, you know, loosen up a bit.”

Matthias held the book up like it was a dangerous artifact. “Does it come with instructions on how to survive you?” he deadpanned, earning a chorus of chuckles.

Nina: I think Kaz knows more than he's telling us...

Jesper: Come on, Nina. This is Kaz we're talking about.

Jesper: Of course he does.

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

I havent even started on Crooked Kingdom boi am I behind. Still, will draw more crow bois.

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

Jesper and Kaz's relationship means SO MUCH to me

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

No one can convince me that Kaz doesn't feed the barrel stray dogs. "I nurture my grudges feed them the finest cuts of meat" no Kaz those aren't your grudges those are the dogs.

Once Jesper is on a mission with him and some guy in an alley tries to jump Kaz and about 5 dogs just tear the guy to shreds and start wagging their tails at Kaz. Later that night he feeds them some really good food.

Once Inej has seen him slip some of his food into his pocket and she's never found out why. Years later Wylan will be telling Jesper and Inej in the van eck mansion about that one time Kaz stopped to stroke a dog on a mission, Jesper will say how those dogs defended Kaz and Inej will connect the dots. Later she goes home and brings about five dogs back with her and they all immediately rush Kaz.

Also he brings treats with him when he goes to merchers houses. Only Inej knows and he tells her it's to distract the dogs. She knows he's lying but doesn't say anything.

Also matthias has to grudginly admit that it's admirable. Trassle also really loves Kaz and will only let him and Matthias give him belly rubs, Matthias is salty about it.

*set in a vague Jordie lives au in which he’s got a kid now and Kaz lives with them as well that I’ve been thinking way to much about*

Jordie: That is enough, young lady! Go to your room!

Charlotte aka Lottie (age nine): That’s not fair!!! You never send Uncle Kaz to his room when he’s misbehaving!

Jordie: That’s where your uncle likes to be. if I wanted to punish him, I’d make him come downstairs and actually talk to people.

Kaz, in fact, in his room: I can hear you, y’know!

(my mom unironically said this about me once lmaoo)

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

Jes and Wy totally have to make lunches and stuff for Kaz when Inej is out of town because there is absolutely no way this man is going to remember to eat on his own

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

Things we (me) are forgetting about Six of crows, not in order:

• There were rumours that Wylan was caught in an affair with his tutor

• Inej killed rinca moten (the desert lizard) that Matthias claimed he never seen being defeated before. She did it in few seconds too

• Jesper and Nina had chloropellets that they used to put other prisoners to sleep stitched under their skin. And had to cut them out to use them

• Matthias had a buzzcut for whole two books and half; also, half of SoC he had brown hair and brown eyes tailored

• Kaz had lockpicks and bloody explosives swallowed for the entirety of heist, and had to regurgitate them every other hour

• When Nina was young, she wanted to go to Fjerda as an avenging warrior or a spy (foreshadowing, I guess)

• Inej used Kaz's gloves to climb in the incenerator scene

• After learning Inej's real name, Kaz asked if that's what she preferred to be called

•Kaz's pov has shown that he probably had fracture or other injury from when he jumped while carrying Inej in his arms, and it was never mentioned him getting any medical attention. My boy been running this heist like this, AND without his cane for hours

• They blew up the nation's holy magical tree (somehow I keep forgetting this part)

• Matthias gave Kaz an agressive CPR until Nina took over. So his heart probably stopped during heist? (Somebody just give him a vacation or something)

•Nina flirts/ed with Kaz (as he had mentioned himself, she just loves flirting with everybody and everything)

•Inej seems to be the ONLY one in the Dregs without their tattoo

•Matthias labeled Inej as a demon in his head as well, not only Kaz

•Matthias' middle name is Benedik. I think only his and Jesper's second names were revealed (very likely that they are the only ones who have them)

•Kaz gave Matthias the "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" talk (like, literally)

•“You can’t spend his money if you’re dead.”

“I’ll acquire expensive habits in the afterlife.”

•Inej thought that Kaz "at least owes me his best imitation of a human being".

•Wylan was standing up to Kaz several times, even at times when others wouldn't (like right after the Oomen incident)

•Matthias has the coolest nicknames for everybody in general

•Kaz kinda thinks more of Inej than others do? Has more faith in her and how strong she is, if you will

•Kaz went back for the Black Tips after Inej was injured and "there was enough blood to paint a barn red" (reminder that he still has a fracture after running with her in his hands and jumping off great heightswhile carrying her)

•Tolya was mentioned in SoC ("There’s a Heartrender at the Little Palace who can recite epic poetry for hours. Then you’d wish you had died.”)

•Matthias thanked Inej personally for being the reason they made it out of the harbor alive (that's right, everybody must respect Inej)

•Kaz wants reassurance that Inej believes in him once in a while

•Everybody feels kinda good about sharing secrets with Kaz cuz he's Dirtyhands and he wouldn't judge anything

•Kaz and Inej have a series of silent signals?

•Kaz said "You don't want a look at what's inside my head, Nina dear" while wearing fucking dumb goggles

•Inej is the only sacred thing in Kaz's life, and she made him feel like a boy still believing in existence of magic

[bazkrekkerbrokemyshin]

YES!!! YOU GET IT!!!

Daily reminder that Kaz is actually just a teenage boy playing at being this really edgy gang leader when in reality he has the humour of a 13 year old
