Kinda sad how Van Eck's train of thought wehn he found out Wylan was dyslexsic was literally, "this is all my son's fault. he is a gay looser who cannot read and therfore cannot inherit the fortune and continue my legacy. must replace asap. send in new baby shipment by friday. must replace. bad bad shoo shoo. He probably can read if he tried"

whilst Colm Fahey's train of thought when he found out Jesper was a ganster/gambler was more or less "bad bad bad oh no what has Ketterdam done to my son? this is all Ketterdam's fault i hate ketterdam i hate ketterdam i hate ketterdam i hate the kerch i hate ketterdam i hate ketterdam i hate ketterdam. Ooh he's got a boyfriend now Jesper happy Colm happy. i hate Ketterdam, my son's friends are weird but i hate ketterdam."

Nina had Inej’s feet in her lap. “I can’t get all the rubber off her heels,” she said, as she saw them approaching. “Help her,” said Kaz. “Me?” Jesper said. “You don’t mean—” “Do it.” ... “Saints,” he [Jesper] said. Inej grimaced. “That bad?” “No, you just have really ugly feet.” “Ugly feet that got you on this roof.”

Him not complimenting Jesper is also such a sibling thing to do

The way he introduces all of them, the way he introduces Inej.

My stupid lovely boy.

Chat do I write this fic

Ps. If I write this I might change the timeline a little probably cause they only knew each other for 2 years

Imagine one day Inej ends up mentioning that Kaz's birthday is coming up soon (because if anyone knows his birthday it's her) to Nina and Nina being Nina decides they HAVE to throw a surprise party even though it would be almost impossible to surprise Kaz.

So all of them plan a surprise birthday party and Kaz is freaking out over why is everyone acting so suspicious because Kaz being Kaz could never suspect a surprise birthday party for him. Hell even he forgot his own birthday.

And then the surprise birthday freaks him out and breaks his facade (only for like 3 seconds) where he is so confused as to what the hell is this and why is everything so colourful and why is everyone smiling and singing? And Nina should really stop singing.

--------------------------------------

Everyone: SURPRISE!!

Kaz: *shook*

Kaz: what the hell is going on?!?

Nina: jeez Kaz could you show some enthusiasm we threw a party for you, be a little grateful.

Kaz: a party?!?

Jesper: it's the thing where people get together and celebrate for something you know like fun-

Kaz: I know what a party is

Wylan: we just thought since it's your birthday we could throw you a surprise party

Kaz: My...what

Inej: It's your birthday. You know? The day you were born? When you came into this world? When the saints for some reason thought that the world needed you so you were born.

Kaz: I know what a birthday is. I ju-

Kaz: ...why

Nina: for food and also wanted to see how you would react to something fun....mostly food tho

Jesper: I mean it's a party I just needed an excuse to party

Wylan: I mean it would be nice to let loose a little and party after everything we went through we never threw a victory party and your birthday just happened to be around.

Inej: We all thought it would be fun to celebrate together. We also wanted to throw you a party to maybe get you to do something fun that doesn't involve crime and hopefully you let yourself relax a little.

Kaz: ...

Wylan: Kaz you good?

Jesper: OMG! He is frozen in shock

Nina: No he isn't. This is Kaz Brekker he isn't startled much less frozen by anything

Inej: *shakes Kaz* Kaz, say something!

Kaz: I am just confused

Wylan: what do you mean?

Jesper: You party like you have never partied before

Nina: I swear to God if we have to explain to you what a birthday party is

Kaz *composes himself*: no I just... Don't know what happens in a party much less a birthday party

Everyone: WHAT!?!

Wylan: have you NEVER had a birthday party?!!? Even I have had one when my father thought I could read

Kaz: I've had a birthday par-

Nina: ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY NOT! You are SO having the party of your life

Jesper *grabs Kaz and pulls him towards the food*: HELL YEAH YOU ARE GOING TO PARTY AND YOU ARE GOING TO MEAN IT.

Inej just stares and smiles as they all take Kaz.

Nina: INEJ WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE COME JOIN US!

----------------------------------------------

Before the heist when only Inej knew about his birthday. Cause like I said if anyone knew his birthday it would be her. She remembered even though Kaz forgot (obviously). And since she knew Kaz would never want a birthday party or gift she decided to do something he would like.

The night of his birthday she crawls up to his rooms and sits on his window sill. Like always they sit in comfortable silence until.

Kaz *lifts his gaze and looks at her*: whatever you want to say just say it

Inej: well there is this one really expensive jewel being auctioned tomorrow...

Kaz: *raises an eyebrow for her to continue*

Inej: I mean what I am trying to say is pretty obvious. I just thought since you weren't exactly busy we could go grab the jewel, it would look good on your table.

Kaz: What value will it have since we won't be able to sell it.

Inej: jeez Kaz not everything is about the money I just thought it'll be a fun adrenaline rush for both of us since there haven't been any challenging jobs lately

Inej: you know what since you don't want to go I'll go by myself.

Kaz: wait-

Kaz: let me grab my cane.

After successful jewel heist.

They are out of breath and finally back in Kaz's room where Inej sits on the window sill and Kaz on his desk.

Inej: here *throws him a cupcake*

Kaz *confused*: what's this?

Inej: I grabbed it from a nearby stall. *takes a bite from her own cupcake*

Kaz: ...

Inej: just eat it it's not like I'll try to poison you.

Kaz: you wouldn't bother trying to kill me with poison since you know it won't work *looks at the cupcakes skeptically"

Inej: *motions him to eat*

Kaz: *rolls his eyes but takes a bite*

They both eat in nice comfortable silence

Inej: oh and Kaz?

Kaz: *looks at Inej* hmm

Inej: Happy Birthday *disappears out the window*

They don't mention it afterwards but it ends up becoming a tradition and now every year for Kaz's birthday they steal something expensive and secure just for the fun of it and then enjoy a cupcake in silence.

(The DeKappel being one of the stolen items from Kaz's birthday tradition.)

Inej: Would you like some gum?

Kaz: Is it sugarless?

Inej: No, sorry, it’s not

Kaz: Oh, no thanks then

Kaz, internally: What the hell was that!? Mental note: if Inej Ghafa offers you gum, you take it!

Kaz, internally: If she offers you mangled animal carcass, you take it!

I’m FINALLY finishing my demon-Kaz AU fic, The Demon Under the Bridge, so part two is up now, and part three should hopefully be up by the end of the day :)

[whtsyours]

Do you ever just think about–

[jkriordanverse]

Alternative AU where instead of sorta bringing them together Matthias's death drew them apart.

Kaz pushing everyone, including Inej, away because he made a mistake, he let someone in again and now that they're gone it's Jordie all over. Because it always is. always will be. Inej knowing he's too far gone to go back. They both know that.

Jesper being too terrified at Matthias's death and instead chooses to go back further in to gamble his fears away. Wylan sitting alone with all the gold and riches he could want in one hand and an empty house that's all his in the other.

Nina going all the way to hunt down the druskelle that killed Matthias, only to realize in the end, the young druskelle was in the same place as Matthias once was. Nina giving up her powers because what good are they if they couldn't keep the love of her life alive?

Inej leaving because now that her friends are no longer themselves, nor can she save all of them, she has nothing to keep her in Ketterdam and so she whisks herself away off to see, becoming more subtly more violent and not knowing it's all the pent up anger and grief that she's never really let out.

[evellynssocbrainrot]

Kaz: I have a job for you. I need you to hitch a ride east to the Little Palace

The Conductor: Hmmm

Kaz: Make friends

The Conductor: But that's the hardest job

Kaz: You managed to win us over, didn't you?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inej: A bit slow on the draw there

Kaz: Or just in time

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alina: Will you still be trying to kidnap me?

Jesper: Of course, not

Kaz: Have you found religion too?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nina: How do you think it tastes?

Kaz: Like tea

Nina: Yes, but is it floral? Bitter? Mildly sweet with notes of buttery—

Kaz: Warm. And wet

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wesper: *kissing*

Kaz: Everyone's lost their mind

Also Kaz a few minutes later: *Makes heart eyes at Inej*

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaz entering the battlefield: *mutters* What nightmare have we gotten ourselves into?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikolai: Didn't know you were patriots

Kaz: *fixes him with bitch glare* Well if we die we don't get paid

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who said all his humor and charmingness was gone? At least there were some traces of it, and they are wonderful.
