#DIRTYHANDS

[the-angry-acrobat]

the fact that kaz and inej both have such intense, soul shattering trauma, and they understand each other on such a personal level, and their relationship (as put by my older sibling) is built on trust and mutual aid, and they constantly enable and help each other, and they make each other stronger, and they know each other like no one else, and kaz thinks that inej is like magic, and inej thinks that kaz is like a miracle, and they bring each other back when they’re triggered or having flashbacks, and kaz always sees inej, and inej’s voice keeps kaz above the water, and they rely on each other, and they are always looking for the other when they’re not there, and they’re best friends, and they love no one more in the world, and they have basically become family, and kaz reunited her with her family, and they save each other’s lives, and inej usually keeps kaz company on the stairs, and kaz gave inej her knives, and they’re twin soldiers, and they both always pretend they’re fine, and kaz gave inej her ship so that she could pursue her dreams and her cause, and inej goes on voyages but always returns to kaz. kanej 😭

I've been reading through a bunch of Kanej fanfictions, and I've noticed with almost each one that includes kanej eventually healing and having children, Kaz is always 27 when the kid is born.

As a traumatized (in my early 30s) year old I find the fact that a man(character) who was far more traumatized than i, is mature enough for a kid by 27 an absolute mind boggle.

Also, while I'm not totally onboard with the idea of kanej kids, does anyone have any good fan fic recs about inejs healing journey, and her thoughts/relationships on kids?

My boy kaz is no saint but he doesn't discriminate towards anyone + immigrant? You're in; convict?? Join the club; gay? Be gay do crime ; zemeni;suli any other race?? Don't care. Truly an nonjudgmental icon unless you're a traitor; or pekka; or shitty exscuse of a father Jan van eck!! U go babe 😘 we stan- equal job opportunities in this house

My friend who has not read SoC thought that the bathroom scene between Kaz and Inej in CK was smutty since she saw some fanarts of it and some people kind of hyped it like it was

I mean i think it might sound like a spicy scene to non-SoC readers when we call it "the bathroom scene"

Like the smuttiest thing that happend was kaz pecking Inej's neck and that almost sent him into a coma 😭

[swiftiepanini]

one of my favorite things about kaz is that he's such a smart character. i feel like a lot of books say a character's smart and proceed to never show it. kaz? bro has an arsenal of brain cells and uses every single one. he either knows OR IS RESPONSIBLE for literally every plot twist in the series. like when i hear about his plans and stuff, i need to take a minute just to appreciate how smart it is. what i wouldn't give to be as clever as him

Jealousy

Pairing: Kaz Brekker x Reader

Summery: Kaz gets jealous

Warnings:

Masterlist

To be fair, you probably should have seen it coming. You knew what Kaz was like, even if he did try to deny it.

You should have guessed how this would get on his nerves. But equally. This was his idea. He was the one who told you that your job was to distract the mark. To look pretty and bat your eyelashes. So that was exactly what you had done.

But based on the way that Kaz's jaw was clenching, you were starting to wonder if maybe he was starting to regret this plan.

Thanks to keeping an eye on Kaz, you could see when he gave you the signal. With a subtle nod of your head, you turned to the mark. Making some excuse as to why you had to go before turning on your heel and leaving the mark dazed and confused behind you as you swished off.

You take a long route home. Making sure that there is no way that you are followed as you head back home to the slat.

When you get back, you head straight for your room. Pulling off the wig and taking off the disguise that you had been wearing.

Only when you are back to feeling like yourself do you venture out of your room and head up the stairs to where you know Kaz's office resides.

Knocking on the door, you wait, you know that he heard you coming, and you know that he is being petty by making you wait for a moment or two. But you are happy to play his game.

"Come in." You hear him call. Causing you to push the door open.

You can see Kaz sitting behind his desk. Studying some papers in front of him, he refuses to look at you as you approach his desk and flop down into the chair in front of him.

But you are content to wait. Leaning back in your chair, you get comfortable. Your eyes fluttered shut as you let your mind drift.

"The heist was a success," Kaz tells you after a long pause.

"I'm glad." Your eyes flutter open as you smile at him. "I take it the mark is none the wiser."

"Thanks to your distracting him." At that, Kaz's jaw seems to clench. "Inej was able to get in and out without anyone knowing."

"That's good," you tell him. Before pausing. "jealousy is a normal feeling. Just don’t let it consume you."

Kaz spullters for a moment. Unsure of what to say. "I'm not jealous." He manages to get out.

You don't say anything. Just watch his face as the muscle by his jaw ticks.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about." You assure him as you rise to your feet. "You have nothing to be jealous about. You're the only one." Then, with that you turn, leaving Kaz's office as you head down to the bar.

Leaving Kaz in his office, staring at where you had just disappeared from.

Breaking my slience (again ... I've ranted about this at least twice already but I keep thinking of fun new ways to word it whoopsie)

When Inej says she'll have Kaz without armour, she's not saying she wants a physical relationship from him

She is asking him to trust her enough to know that he doesn't need to protect himself around her, that she'll never cross his boundaries, that if he took off his armour he would be safe with her.

Thank you for coming to my TedTalk

Any of y'all remember when kaz puked up his lock picks or whatever in soc

Good times

Parents in Ketterdam probably tell their kids that Dirtyhands will take them away if they don't eat their veggies
