#BUT COME ON KAZ

[fandomestuff]

"What do you want then?"

"To die, buried under the weight of my own gold."

KAZ BREKKER I SWEAR TO GOD TURN OFF YOUR STUPID SASS AND YOUR STUPID ANGST AND KISS THAT BEAUTIFUL LADY

[cranberryjuicey]

eva and pw era kaz together would have been enough to put bibo in the ground permanently i think

[barrel-crow-n]

One thing about Kaz is that instead of thinking "I don't deserve her" he went "I will work on myself to deserve her" Bro is a simp, not a quitter.

I'm not even gonna lie to you, Kaz Brekker is the one that made me finally understand how the stock market works

They’re ready to party

Idk why you would hc or interpret that Kaz would be possessive of / excessively jealous with Inej once they're 'official' post-canon (major misreading of their relationship imo) when instead you can have shit like Sailor's Wife Brekker:

Kaz, ten seconds after Inej leaves: It Has Now Been Twenty Years Since Inej Put Out To Sea And I Am Certain I Will Never Live To See Her Return, Or That She Has Found A Superior Man Who Truly Deserves Her On Some Distant Shore. I Tragically Make My Peace With Being A Sailor's Widow And Never Seeing Her Again. I Will Dedicate My Life, My Anger Issues, And My Demonic Intellect To Her Noble Cause.

Inej, somewhere on the True Sea on the boat he bought her: hope my ketterdam mobster husband is still alive and hasn't been beaten to death in a gang brawl! miss him :)

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Kaz: Do you want to tell me why you punched a customer in the face?

Wylan: Because he was too tall to kick in the face

A few interesting parallels in the SoC duology that I don’t think I’ve seen anyone talk about yet

(Analysis/discussion of these parallels/quotes may come later if anyone's interested)

“These creatures were made to be weapons” - Jarl Brum on Grisha, Six of Crows chapter 35

“He looked like what he truly was: a weapon” - Jesper Fahey on the Khergud, Crooked Kingdom chapter 36

“Welcome to the Hellshow” - Kaz to Nina, Six of Crows chapter 6

“Welcome to the Ice Court, Nina Zenik” - Matthias to Nina, Six of Crows chapter 34

“Is this a play?” - Alys Van Eck “Yes love, and you’re the star” - Jesper Fahey, Crooked Kingdom chapter 8 when Alys is taken captive

“What was this but a play Kaz had staged, with that poor sucker Kuwei as the star?” - Jesper Fahey on the auction plan, Crooked Kingdom chapter 36

“he looked like a priest come to preach to group of circus performers” - Inej on Kaz’s appearance in comparison to the rest of the Barrel, Six of Crows chapter 2

“started to preach” - Inej on Kaz leading a coup against Per Haskell, Crooked Kingdom chapter 27

“Whoever he had become, Matthias was not going to shoot someone unarmed. He'd not yet sunk so far” - Matthias Helvar, Six of Crows chapter 29

“I am unarmed” - Matthias Helvar, Crooked Kingdom chapter 38

"I didn't even know the rules of Makker's Wheel" - Jesper Fahey on his first night gambling in the Barrel, Six of Crows chapter ()

"He knew his guns better than he knew the rules of Makker's Wheel" - Jesper Fahey on the concept of aim and its relationship to his life and his zowa/Grisha abilities, Crooked Kingdom chapter 36

“a tiny voice inside him said he should offer to take the drug as well […] maybe he could have helped to draw the parem out of Nina’s system and set her free. But that was a hero’s voice and Jesper had long since stopped thinking he had the makings of a hero” - Jesper Fahey, Six of Crows chapter 44

“Matthias gave you the remaining parem, didn’t he?” “So?” “[…] I can’t let my father down again. I need the parem as a security measure” “No” “Why the hell not?” - Jesper and Kaz in discussion about the auction plan, Crooked Kingdom chapter 30

I'll probably be back to add more, feel free to add your own as well

“…but he held steady as she launched herself from the cradle of his fingers”

I need people to understand how important it is that Inej launched herself. Kaz held steady and provided the foothold, but she launched herself.

Kaz gave her a ship and a place to return. He holds steady in a different way waiting for her return. He supports her fully. But she launched herself. This is her mission, her endeavor, her drive, her purpose.

[randomfandom-3]

Wylan: Did you have to stab them? Kaz: You weren’t there. You didn’t hear what they said to me. Wylan: What did they say? Kaz: "What are you going to do, stab me?" Wylan: That’s fair.

i love it when kaz manages to finally overcome and heal from his trauma surrounding touch as much as the next person, but it deeply frustrates me when it comes too quickly and when it's regarded as the only way for kanej's relationship to progess. give me intimacy that doesn't revolve around touch. give me love letters, and quiet nights spent in the company of one another. give me stories told in whispers about everything and anything, give me the trust and vulnerability that comes with showing the other your soul and mind, give me sleeping in the same room even if it's not in the same bed and knowing that the other might witness your nightmares, give me comfort that doesn't need touch to be effective and an Inej who doesn't demand from Kaz that he heals his decade-long trauma in a single week, because I refuse to believe it fits her character to be so inconsiderate when it comes to trauma

"who can hear a whisper hear?"

no one. not even Kaz, but you know what he can hear? Inej. no, he doesn't hear her movements. he doesn't hear her footsteps, or even the way her body moves through the air. he hears her silence. he feels her presence, yet hears the way she hasn't yet chosen to speak to him. he wants her to speak to him. he cherishes every word out of her mouth, every interaction he gets to have with her. he loves her, and he's always looking out for the next time he gets to see her again
