I still remember that day clearly.....every night it comes back to me like a nightmare. The small fragile human getting pushed into my arms. Tears streaming down my face as I looked at her....Doctors storming in from everywhere trying everything they could to keep her alive. The look in her eyes she gave me made me break inside.

She knew she wasn't going to make it.

She smiled at me and took one last look at her child before speaking.

A child must be sacrificed in order for the city to gain its happiness. a tale when doom and love are two sides of the same coin.

When the doctor tells the Jeon's that their newborn Jungsoo could die due to his premature birth, Mr. Jeon decides to clone him as soon as possible.

To their surprise, Jungsoo is able to grow up happy and healthy along with his clone, Jungkook, who's the total opposite of him.

❝ -How much is your daughter? ❞

Jungkook loves food and computer games, but compare to those two you are his favorite thing in this world.

He is the spitting image of an Angel but the blood in his veins is that of the Devil's.

Six Of Crows College/University Modern AU fanfiction recommendations part of Lunar's soc fanfiction rec series

-------------------------------✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧----------------------------------

Birds of a Feather by @sc11vb

Wordcount: 8.8k Chapters: 6/? (It's still being updated:)

Characters: Nina Zenik, Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker, Matthias Helvar, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Zoya Nazyalensky, Nikolai Lanstov, Tolya Yul-Bataar, Leoni Hilli, Alina Starkov, Maleyn Oretsev, Background & Cameo Characters

Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Friendship/Love, Plot What Plot, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fluff without Plot

Author's summary/notes: “You know what they say, ‘trouble is my middle name’.” “Your middle name is Deirdre,” Inej said. “Don’t remind me,” Nina groaned. My summary/notes: In this fic we have a years worth of Kanej pining and currently there is some drama between those two, let's just say the angst is angsting. We have some other grishaverse characters featuring in the fic as well, there's established helnik and established wesper. I love Nina so much and in typical modern!au Nina fashion she comes up with a plan to stop the Kanej pining and it certainly is a plan... Nina and Inej's friendship very important in this fic (as it should be) and its written so well.

---------- ☾₊ ⊹

I Like You a Latte by sevenofcrows

Wordcount: 45k Chapters: 28/? (Hasn't been updated since Janurary but the last chapter works well and doesn't end on a cliffhanger)

Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Nina Zenik

Tags: Alternate Universe - Coffee Shop & Cafés, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Kaz Brekker Needs a Hug, Kaz Brekker is Bad At Feelings, Texting, Fluff, Tooth-Rooting Fluff, rated explicit but the chapters are marked + not related to the plot, so the explicit parts can be ignored

Author's summary/notes: "Kaz Brekker was not your usual college student. He didn't leave assignments until the last day, he didn't stress over finals, he never left the house in sweatpants and a t-shirt. He was always put together, dressed in jeans and a properly ironed shirt, the answer keys to his next three exams hidden away in his computer and essays already written even before they were assigned. He didn't leave things to chance. If you asked any of his friends, they would call him a control freak. He liked to say he was born to be in charge. So, seeing him rush into a coffee shop with his hair messed up and shirt wrinkled was a once in a lifetime event." What happens when Kaz Brekker meets Inej Ghafa, a bright eyed barista who seems to read his mind when it comes to his drink orders? They fall in love, of course. This is the story of what happens in between. My summary/notes: You ever get that fic that you don't entirely remember whats it about because you haven't read it in a while but when you read the title the flush of serotonin and you just start to smile because you just remember that it was SO GOOD, this is one of those fics for me. Honestly the author's summary is just perfect, but heres some notes. The recipe thing is so cute, the kanej here is so adorable, Inej with the doodles is again so cute. The last thing I will say is they're both down so bad, especially Kaz.

---------- ☾₊ ⊹

honey, honey by halfahint

Wordcount: 21k Chapters: 3/3

Characters: Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker, Nina Zenik, Matthias Helvar, Wylan Van Eck, Jesper Fahey

Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, POV Inej Ghafa, Friends With Benefits (sort of), To explain the Friends With Benefits tag it basically means that they agree to work on healing their respective touch phobia together, Intimacy, (but also emotional intimacy, feelings are hard

Author's summary/notes: “Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side. “I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?” “Well, who would you suggest?” Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?” “Kaz has – “We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly. My summary/notes: A story of healing as Kaz and Inej work on their touch phobia and while doing that they fall harder for eachother (they already knew eachother 2 years before the events of the fic). They have some cute moments. The crows dynamics in this fic are showed so perfect, it defintely reminds me of book!crows.

---------- ☾₊ ⊹

You'll Be With Me Wherever I Go by @rupturedhaven

Wordcount: 35k Chapters: 18/? (It's still being updated:)

Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Nina Zenik, Matthias Helvar, Genya Safin, Maleyn Orestev, Nikolai Lanstov, Zoya Nazyalensky

Tags: Six Of Crows AU, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Grishaverse, Texting, Drunk Texting, Chatting & Messaging, Fluff, Background Relationships, Background Characters Freeform, Slowburn, minimal angst

Author's summary/notes: It's their last year of university, and Jesper has insisted on starting a new group chat. There's chaos. There's bickering. There's friendship. There's love. Six of Crows texting fic. My summary/notes: Ok, ok, I love Rupturedhaven's fics, they write brilliantly so recommending this fic was a must. In this fic you get to see more of the Wylan and Matthias friendship dynamic. There is of course some Kanej pining after eachother and the latest chapter-. A TON of Wesper flirting and you get to see them go from friendship to lov- as well as going into some of Jesper's troubles. The Nina and Kaz dynamic in this fic is definitely siblingly and I adore it. Helnik also develops in this fic and we get to see them be as amazing as ever but also go through a couple problems but nothing can ever stop Helnik those two are so adorable in this fic. I was about to write about the amazing Nina and Inej friendship in this fic but I'm going to finish off by saying that all the friendships in this fic are just beautiful.

Johnny Cade x Soc!Reader

Social Class

warning for angst? and.. a really bad slowburn ;-; This'll be in chapters so uh yeah have chapter one where basically nothing romantic happens...

I've literally been working on this for months now and I'm just now posting in on 10/28 haha --------

Johnny Cade really was least and last. He always was. No matter what, he was the last. He was smaller than the rest of the gang, weaker, innocent, a slow learner, nervous, scared, insecure. He didn't understand when someone was being nice to him or using him, he didn't understand what the difference between right and wrong relationships, healthy environments and toxic ones. Dallas had found himself with the overbearing harshness of the world on his back at all times. The hard exterior he had to keep up was slowly crumbling but no one could know, only he could. The darkness of his thoughts keeping up with him at all times, the harsh reality he knew and was still not very used to. Everything hurt. You were no different from either boy. You had a hard exterior like Dallas, yet the innocent look upon the world like Johnny. You understood more than he did, though. You were raised from quite wealthy parents but their money didn't compensate for the lost physical affection of your younger years. Today, you had decided to go to the drive in. You sat down in your seat and placed your bag across your lap, shivering as the cold nights wind smacked you in the face. Removing your eyes that were glued to the large screen you looked over at your friend, Cherry, and asked her if she could get you a Coke. You handed her four dimes and two quarters, she got up and walked over to the food and drink stand. While she was gone, three boys walked up and sat behind you. You glanced behind you at the one in a jean jacket. He had dark hair and he looked quite suspicious of the area. His eyes met yours for a second and then he looked away. You turned your head back to watch the movie, Cherry came back and handed you the coke, sitting next to you. "Did you see that one with the brown coat?" She side eyed the boy she was talking about and bit her lip while looking into your eyes. You rolled yours. Marcia watches the two of you before whispering in your ear. "The puppy looking one has had his eyes on you forever now" You felt your cheeks heat up, thank god it was dark. You tried acting like it didn't bother you. "Yeah, whatever" The three of you finished the movie, halfway through though, Cherry was getting bothered by the boy she found cute. You had to hold back your laughter until it got serious, when the boy got mad. Marcia knew you didn't like when people screamed, so she gave your shoulder a gentle pat. The start of the second movie played and Cherry and Marcia started talking to them. After a few, the two boys sat up next to you guys, Marcia made some excuse to sit next to Cherry so she moved seats with you. You and Johnny were now shoulder-to-shoulder. Your face was heating up badly. He turned a little bit and looked at you. His bangs covered his eyebrows and his greased up hair was shiny in the lights of the drive-in. His eyes were dark, yet innocent. He opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. After a little bit, he tried again. "..Hi..." His voice was quite small, you turned to him and gave a little wave. "I'm sorry about Dallas, he's.. a hothead." You nodded, letting your leg bounce as he kept his gaze on you. His eyes trailed over your body, more in a curious manner than a naughty one. You side-eyed him and immediately looked away. Fuck he was cute

You tried calming yourself down but instead, you shot up. Your body stood there for a second, wondering if you could just sit back down as if nothing happened but you knew you'd get questioned and it wouldn't be nice to explain how cute a greaser was. Instead, you just walked off, leaving everyone confused. You rushed off and out of the drive-in, walking down the street by yourself, you snapped out of your de-realized state and stopped. You looked back at the sidewalk, you were quite far from the drive-in now. The wind picked up, howling as white noise in your ears. You zoned out just looking back at the amount you had walked in a daze. You sighed and turned back, hearing someone run behind you, you thought it- no, you didn't think. You didn't even realize. You just heard. You kept walking until you got smacked on the shoulder. "What is wrong with you, y/n?!" It was Cherry. "What do you want?" She sighed and dropped her hand down to her side, your turned around to face her again. The wind seemed to calm down just enough to hear her voice. "I want to know why the hell you walked off like that! Marcia and I were, and still are, worried. What happened to make you go off like that, huh?!" "I don't know! I just got nervous and it's.. it's so dumb just, don't worry about it." "I'm worrying anyway." "That boy in the jean jacket was so cute, and I'm in no condition to be sitting next to him. I'm supposed to be much better than him, y'know, we're supposed to hate each other but Maria put me so close to him and we were shoulder to shoulder.."

"So you walk off like a maniac?! You left us worried that you got your period or someone died or you started crying or something!" Great. Now Cherry was mad. Good going y/n, you thought to yourself. You just wanted to go home and cry, you ruined your chance with a cute boy and now you just angered your friend. "Just, god Y/n. Go home." "Thanks for your fucking approval." You turned around and waited until you heard her walk off. Hot tears of mixed emotions ran down your still red cheeks. You sobbed a bit loudly, hics and whines, and the stomping of your shoes all the way home. You opened the door with the spare key you had and saw your parents on the couch watching the news, they say the smeared makeup and the frown on your pretty face. "What happened, my angel?"

Your dad tried to console you.

"Leave me alone!" "Young lady, that is no way to speak to me. Now you get up to that room, and no going out after school for two weeks!" Your dad screamed out as you walked up the stairs of your large house. You just let him hear your sobs and stomps. You tried shouting something but it just came out as a big sob. You slammed your door and locked it. You didn't want to be bothered, especially not in this state. You took off your shoes and let your breathing calm down as you set things up to take a shower. In the shower you sat there for a second, taking your time to wash your face, hair, etc. When you came out, you turned on your tv and clicked through channels until you came to the cartoons channel, you saw The Flintstones were on and you let it play as you dried your hair off and put pajamas on. The tv played in the background as you got comfortable in bed, the noises of the tv were drowned out by thoughts of earlier. That cute boy, the way he looked at you, talked to you, his eyes, his bangs. A blush rose to your face again and you tried calming yourself down, this time it worked. With the good memories of the day playing back in your head, and some other random thoughts, your body fell asleep surprisingly quick.

#Johnny Cade #johnny cade x y/n #Johnny Cade x reader #Johnny is literally so cute omg #The Outsiders #Dallas Winston #cherry valance #x Y/n #x reader #this is so short for a chapter one omg.. ;-;

I answered a slew of these, but not all. Please enjoy!

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work? (In other words, what do you think is the best introduction to your fics?)

Answer in two parts: If they like consent oriented smut: Plan van Vertrouwen https://archiveofourown.org/works/49166650

If they like angst and exposition: Intermezzo https://archiveofourown.org/works/49167232

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - PTSD (11), Kaz Brekker Needs a Hug (11), Kaz Brekker Has PTSD (11)

Yeah, probably. I was drawn to Kaz and Inej in order to explore and help their PTSD. I tend to do it a lot.

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

Soft, Domestic, Sexual Healing, Kink as Therapy.

7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?

Fully fleshing out so many Original Characters that I am excited to write spin off stories for them in the future. Rook & Jeter especially!

9. How do you find new fic to read?

Aside from searching ships, its the people who leave Kudos, Comments, and Bookmarks. I go and look at what else they're writing, reading and bookmarking. It helps me find so many other talented folks, AND makes me feel like I am in really amazing company.

10. How do you decide what to write?

Random bursts of inspiration, thinking through how I think the characters would handle a piece of trauma or a particular emotion, and sometimes, they just grab me and say, WRITE THIS THING. Sometimes the banter comes fully formed into my head in the shower. Sometimes, I wake up at 4 am and do a voice to text email to myself with an idea I just dreamt of. I just keep writing all the ideas down, and then fleshing them out.

11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

If it isn't already blatantly obvious, KANEJ, KANEJ, KANEJ.

19. If you wrote a spin-off of [insert fic], what would it involve?

I mentioned this, but I have spin offs planned for my OC's from Kanej Wensen, including:

Rook & Jeter figuring out their feelings for one another.

Nico finally having the courage to ask Mikhal and Meril about possible sexy fun times.

Ryo and Omar realizing they have been pining for each other.

20. If you wrote a prequel to [insert fic], what would it involve?

I did it for Kanej Wensen, and it grew into a monster. All 12 chapters of it.

Jezelf Leren Kennen https://archiveofourown.org/works/53752825

22. Who is your favorite character in [insert fic] and why?

Krai the cat in Krai Kat. I had entirely too much fun designing the perfect cat to worm her way into Kaz's heart. She's as sneaky as the Wraith, and as bloodthirsty as the Bastard, and becomes the best cared for cat in the whole Barrel. https://archiveofourown.org/works/49169332

24. Are there any easter eggs in [insert fic], and if so, what are they?

Not sure if it counts as an easter egg, but the amount of times I have had Jesper references goats is just silly.

25. What other websites or resources do you use most often when you write?

Because I write as canon compliant as I can:

The Grishasverse Wiki https://thegrishaverse.fandom.com/wiki

SoC, CK, and RoW. I have links to my Kindle copies bookmarked for easy access.

Because I had swiftly built up so much of my own canon, and have to keep track of it:

DreamTigress Kanej Fan Fiction Wiki http://tinyurl.com/DreamTigressKanejFanFicWiki

Random Name Generator: https://www.behindthename.com/random/

And my amazing beta readers who help me bounce ideas, translate Dutch, and give awesome support.

28. Does anyone read your fics before you post them? If so, who?

A few amazing friends, and a cadre of awesome beta readers. Always looking to add more, btw, hit me up. I am totally willing to trade beta reading.

29. What songs would be (or are) on a playlist for [insert fic]? Explain your choices if you want!

Every fic I post has at least one song link. The songs are usually chosen for a specific moment, or overall theme for the piece. For the prequel to Kanej Wensen, each chapter got its own song.

Then there's my writing/fandom playlist, created off of some other's folks playlists with many of my own additions. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2jfqDrg8AZwoTuTGR5vDzi?si=de93ba8df08c4cc2

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

Yes. When I first sat to write Intermezzo, I knew writing about their unhappy moments would be a challenge. It turned out to be a very worthwhile endeavor, and encouraged me to explore more angst and processing of negative emotions. I have legitimately targeted more problematic and stressful plot lines since, because I found it fulfilling to explore them. It's certainly harder for me to write angst than smut, but there's a pay off there.

34. What aspects of your writing are inspired by/taken from your real life?

Trauma, and working through it. Erotica and kink scenes. Stupidly funny banter between partners. Goofy hijinx. Ridiculous pillow talk. Arguments that turn into healthy discussions. Physical affection being craved but occasionally difficult.

35. What aspects of your writing are completely unlike your real life?

Being a pirate captain or a gang leader.

36. Do you visualize what you read/write?

SO MUCH. I am a visual thinker. I will picture positions and body language and figure out if situations are feasible, etc. I even go so far as to do 3D renders of floor plans.

38. Did any of your fics get surprisingly popular (whatever that means to you)? Which ones? Why do you think they were so successful?

It makes me really happy that so many people like Intermezzo. It was the first not-smut I wrote, exploring heavy themes, and it resonates with people. When a therapist friend read it, and told me that I had handled their trauma in an informed way, it made my whole week.

40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?

I totally go back and re-read fics, books, stories, and more. It's like comfort food.

41. Link a fic that made you think, “Wow, I want to write like that.”

Service Work https://archiveofourown.org/series/3511936

You construct intricate rituals https://archiveofourown.org/works/45838570

42. Have you ever received a comment that particularly stood out to you for whatever reason?

Yes - whenever someone specifically points out parts or quote that made them swoon. I love ALL comments, but when folks take the time to highlight specific turns of phrase... it's like a DOPAMINE BOMB.

45. What’s something you’ve improved on since you started writing fic?

Lore building and more intricate plot lines.

46. Do you prefer writing on your phone or on a computer (or something else)? Do you think where you write affects the way you write?

I far prefer at my desktop with a real size keyboard. I have made edits and added text from laptop, phone, and tablet when the muse hits, but a real keyboard is just so much easier. And it makes the satisfying CLICKY CLICKY.

48. What’s the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?

Cards never lie (except for when they did) https://archiveofourown.org/works/51268159

And YES! So soft and sweet.

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

Verbanden & Geesten, the 11th story in Kanej Wensen.

Kaz & Krai moment:

At the next landing, nine pounds of black cat slammed into his left shin. He’d had just enough warning by way of an excited chirp to brace himself. Saints, cat. Miss me? Krai twined herself between his cane and his legs. He peered around to see if anyone seemed to be awake on this floor. The only one likely was Jeter, who had taken over Inej’s miniscule bedroom, but his door was still closed tight. Satisfied with his findings, Kaz whispered, “C’mon. If you promise not to trip me going down the stairs, I’ll feed you.”

He lifted his cane and pointed. Krai, tail straight up, white tip twitching, bounded down the stairs ahead of him. Kaz rolled his eyes and followed.

50. Answer any question of your choice, or talk about anything you want to talk about!

The amount of amazing writers and artists in the Grishaverse and SoC fandom never ceases to please me. I have been a part of so many fandoms and subcultures over the years, and I adore the community I have found here, from authors and artists to new fans. The representation in the books seems to translate into a diverse and beautiful culture of fans, and I am really glad to have fallen into this particular rabbit hole.

absolutely obsessed with how Kanej is a friends-to-lovers relationship where their broken pieces fit together and complement each other in a way that is nearly impossible to achieve with anyone else in their lives

We get several fun little tidbits of Kaz and Inej's pre-canon relationship sprinkled throughout the books, and it's honestly fascinating how Bardugo did the best she could to scream "they're best friends!" without outright saying so.

We know that Kaz gave Inej her first knife and personally trained her ("Kaz taught her to crack a safe, pick a pocket, wield a knife"). We know that Inej regularly spent time in Kaz's room doing everything from giving reports while watching him casually undress (lol) to lounging on his windowsill while he worked. We know they stole the DeKappel together. The literal second chapter of SoC mentions that they "spent weeks" playing Buzzfeed Unsolved about the Exchange murder case. And we get these delightful throwaway lines too:

In nearly two years of battling side by side with Kaz, of late-night scheming, impossible heists, clandestine errands, and harried meals of fried potatoes and hutspot gobbled down as they rushed from one place to another, this was the first time she had touched him skin to skin, without the barrier of gloves or coat or shirtsleeve. -Ch. 28, SoC

Kaz had rescued her from that hopelessness, and their lives had been a series of rescues ever since, a string of debts that they never tallied as they saved each other again and again. -Ch. 4, CK

But I’m here now, he thought wildly. He had carried her, fought beside her, spent whole nights next to her, both of them on their bellies, peering through a long glass, watching some warehouse or merch’s mansion. This was nothing like that. -Ch. 26, CK

Like...they're besties, y'all. Inej became the one constant in Kaz's life and she gets him on a level that no one else does. Meanwhile, Kaz manages to always see Inej even though she's crafted her entire persona on being invisible. Jesper may be Kaz's brother and Nina may be Inej's sister but Kaz and Inej are each other's best friend, and the bond of all those shared experiences are a big part why they fall in love with each other.

That bond also deeply informs how they interact with each other throughout the books. Kaz and Inej are in some ways custom-built for yearning and pining and loving from a distance because of their pasts and mutual trauma, and there aren't very many other people who could understand how that trauma affects them and what healing looks like. The reciprocity of that understanding and the allowances they give each other because of it is a genuine rarity that I don't think many people appreciate, especially in a relationship weighed down by that much mutual baggage.

Kaz can't touch skin and Inej often walks on metaphorical eggshells due to the fear of her skin being touched. And while their trauma comes from dramatically different places, they both react to it similarly: by becoming "untouchable," keeping most people at a distance, and laser-focusing on a personal goal. Even their PTSD manifests in similar ways: Kaz physically and psychologically feels like he's drowning when he's triggered, but Inej dissociates and retreats inside herself, drowning within her own mind.

But as traumatized as they both are, as angry and stubborn and mean as they can both be with each other, they're each other's safe harbor in a very lonely and dangerous world that dealt them both a shitty hand; relying on and trusting each other helped keep them afloat and alive. So they're willing to let each other go even if it kills them inside, because they have too much personal respect for each other and themselves to do anything different...but they're willing to fight for each other too, and that's what makes them click in a way that would be insanely difficult to accomplish with any other person.

Kaz and Inej don't really want to become more whole for each other, though that's part of it, but they absolutely want to become more whole because of each other. They want each other, physically and emotionally. They can't necessarily have each other at first because of their mutual trauma, but they're also both willing to a) fight for the chance to be together and b) give each other the space, time, and freedom to heal on their own terms, because they both fundamentally respect the other as a person and friend...which is the solid foundation that enables them to eventually come together and succeed as a couple.

Anyway nothing says "this ship is for yearning" like the boy who can't stand physical touch and the girl who escaped from sex slavery, both of whom are deeply traumatized by their pasts but see each other as bringing safety and magic into their world. We simply have no choice but to stan.

Possible explanation for Tailoring: Healers restore the body to it's default state, Heartrenders change the body away from ita default state. So Heartrenders can change facial features but not change hair or eye color, only a true Tailor can do it. This makes me wonder if Heartrenders can produce insulin for diabetics or fix other autoimmune diseases🤔

You've managed to find that part of biology I've always hated- metabolism.

If I understand it correctly, Grisha can make organ produce substances, but immediately, not "reprogram" the organ permanently.

... Most Grisha Corporalki focused on the body—to kill or to cure—but Nina ... slowed heartbeats, eased breathing, relaxed muscles. She had a lucrative side business as a Tailor, seeing to the wrinkles and jowls of the wealthy Kerch, but her chief source of income came from altering moods. People came to her lonely, grieving, sad for no reason, and left buoyed, their anxieties eased. The effect didn’t last long ... Nina claimed it had something to do with glands ... “You make him feel better, ease his woe and all that … but could you compel him to do something? Maybe make him forget his wife?” “Alter the pathways in his mind? Don’t be absurd.” “The brain is just another organ,” Kaz said, quoting Van Eck. “Yes, but it’s an incredibly complex one. Controlling or altering another person’s thoughts … well, it’s not like lowering a pulse rate or releasing a chemical to improve someone’s mood. There are too many variables. No Grisha is capable of it.” Yet, Kaz amended. “So you treat the symptom, not the cause.”

Six of Crows- Chapter 5

But then again, this is ordinary teen Heartrender with unfinished education. We know nothing about old, highly specialized, talented, amplified Healers. Sure, brain's off limits- it has too many functions- but what about other stuff-producing organs?

Apparently, changing hair-colour is only about transporting pigment. Eyes probably work the same, but take more time- you don't want to fuck up your eyesight to look prettier:

... ordinarily Nina would have used pigments to alter her own hair color, but there simply wasn’t time. Nina bled the girl’s bright red color directly from the strands of her hair into Nina’s own, leaving the poor Kaelish with a mop of white waves that looked vaguely rusty in places, and Nina with hair that wasn’t quite Kaelish red. Nina’s eyes were green and not blue, but that kind of tailoring couldn’t be rushed, so they’d have to do.

Six of Crows- Chapter 28

My best guess on difference between a true Tailor and dabbling Corporalnik is something akin to aesthetics surgeon and dermatologist vs. general doctor. Plus Tailors have a sense for chemistry, so they should be able to draw from non-organic, or possibly toxic sources.
