A Happy Death
Loving Jesper Fahey is not something that should feel complacent or forgettable, but for some reason, that's exactly what it is right now.
masterlist
It is half past nine bells, and Jesper has yet to visit you. This by itself is not enough to damn him, not completely, but today is the anniversary of the first time he ever took you out on a date and he has yet to say a thing about it. You have been waiting for him to do something, anything, to indicate that he has not forgotten you completely, but. Your door still goes unknocked, and the hours only tick by.
Heâs out in the city somewhere, you think, finding his reflection on the other side of a glass of spirits or hanging on for one more round of Makkerâs Wheel. Wherever he is, it is enough to entertain him for quite a long time, and enough to make him forget about you.
You didnât want to be like this on your anniversaryâ sad, empty, riddled with heartacheâ or on any other day. Youâre not a native of the Barrel, werenât born among its smoky chimneys or bloody alleyways, so youâre not prone to the heartlessness that most residents of Ketterdam can wear like the pinnacle of fashion. You still weave your emotions into everything you do, a shameful habit that today, at least, is teaching you that you must end sooner rather than later.
The problem is that you don't have to disguise your true emotions, not always. Jesper liked that best about you, actually. Said heâd never met someone so real in all his life. Now heâs the one off living life to the fullest, able to do whatever he wants on a whim, and youâre the one lying on your bed, trying to convince yourself that youâre fine, just fine.Â
Jesper was one of the first people you met in Ketterdam, certainly one of the first friends you made. Your hometown was small and inconsequential, only able to constrain you and make you feel like youâd never be enough. You ran the second you could, and the well-trodden dirt paths you were used to changed to the rainy pavement of the Barrel in the blink of an eye.
Some would say that was the worst mistake you could ever have made. Half the souls stuck in Ketterdam would have traded everything they had for the life you willingly left. Everyone left over after that would kill to stay on top. No one wants to be the thing in between, the wide-eyed creature with tattered suitcases and quickly fading ideals of what it would mean to be a new girl in a new city.
You ended up running with Brekkerâs gang before long. It wasnât the best, nothing was, but it kept you off the street and that seemed well enough for you. Kaz must have been feeling charitable when he took you in, because youâre mainly there for administrative work, fetching things or tallying sums or tasks that donât involve blood and bone.
Jesper was there too, of course. He said he loved you from the start, but you donât think thatâs quite true. It took him about a week or so, once heâd seen you under the dim glow of dance hall lighting. You two were there on one of Kazâs jobs, but the way Jesper smiled when he twirled you was nothing fabricated in the slightest.
And it had been good for a while there, after that. Jesper walked you home and picked you up the next night too, just because he could. He bought you drinks and brought you flowers. It was perfect, for a while, or as close to perfect as anything really gets around here.
The problem was when the relationship lost its novelty. Jesper is a wonderful gambler, excellent at always upping the ante, always risking the odds. He loved you at the start because you were someone new, someone exciting. It should have come as no surprise that he could move on just as quickly as he first found you.
He doesnât do it out of any malevolent intention, you think. The blame does not lie with either of you, it just. Is. Itâs something you canât change any more than him. We all wear out eventually, our pictures gather dust, and at some point you look around and realize that things have lost the spark they had at the beginning, that youâve been going through life in the comfort of repetition. Love is not a task to be completed, but thatâs what it feels like now.
It hurts, obviously. Everything does. You moved to Ketterdam because you wanted a shock to your system, a thunderous rush of blood to your head. You wanted something different, and you got it, but now everything is slipping back to the same sort of nothingness youâd had before. It is terrible that this feeling could follow you all the way from home and still have your name written all over it. It is awful, that this could only ever be your path to follow, no matter how badly you try to stray.
Imagine for a moment, if you will, that there is a young girl growing up with no one around to truly need her, and that she is you. Imagine that she makes up her mind to move somewhere far away as soon as sheâs able, so that her family can spend their time looking for her, not just away, never away. Imagine that she moves to Ketterdam and finally meets a boy that truly pays attention to her, how much of a marvel that must be.Â
Imagine that boy is Jesper, and one day, he stops looking. You cannot imagine what to do next. You cannot imagine that it would happen again. You must, though. You must decide how to live without him here beside you.
Itâs been exactly six months since you first started dating. No one thought it would last that long; things around here rarely do. If youâre lucky, you can hold onto something for a few weeks, maybe even a month or two. This was something else, something better. You used to think that itâs because you and Jesper were destined for each other, something like eternity, but now it just feels like monotony, and one that neither of you want.
Jesper used to celebrate every anniversary. He gave you flowers after a day, took you out dancing after a week, kissed you at a festival after one month. He once promised you that heâd bring you the very Saints to bless you once six months had passed, but that was at the start, and now youâre staring at the ceiling of your empty room and wondering how you could have possibly strayed so far from what youâd had.
This is not the end. Not yet. We only ever realize weâre in the final steps of some dance when the music has started slowing down. Your little turn about the music box is not over yet. There are still beats left, even as your rotations grow less and less frequent. You still have time until the lid snaps shut and plunges you into darkness once more, although it feels as if the minutes are running out faster than you can count.
Eventually, you give up and go to sleep. It is not a deep sleep, this; youâre awoken by every single pair of boots that thuds down the stairs of the Slat, just in case itâs Jesper come to apologize for being out so late.
He doesnât come. It is crushing. You wake up the next morning, feeling significantly worse for wear, and he isâ fine, actually, heâs fine, laughing with a bunch of his friends in the corner of the room about the crazy night theyâd had. He looks up briefly to raise a hand when you emerge from the stairs, but goes back to the conversation just as quickly. Saints.
A hand on your elbow; you whip around to see Inej Ghafa, Ketterdamâs resident mirage. Sheâs managed to get the slip on you again, appearing out of nowhere to regard you with her cautious dark eyes.
âIs everything alright?â She asks quietly.
Were it anyone else, youâd brush it off, come up with some lie about how youâre just great. Inej knows everything, though. She probably heard you pacing late last night, waiting for someone who would never come.
âNo,â you admit, and Inejâs lips purse.
âJesper?â
You nod to acknowledge her question. âHe forgot our anniversary. It was only six months, but still. It hurts.â
Inej casts a glare at the corner of the room where Jesper is still crowing over how heâd managed to win a particularly dangerous round of cards against men who all wanted him dead. âHe doesnât deserve you.â
You sigh. âAt this rate, I donât think I deserve him. If I was worth it, heâd stay around, right?â
Inejâs gaze is sad, and you canât quite meet it. âY/N, you know thatâs not true. Talk to him, please. Jesper is probably just distracted, I swear heâll come around if you just tell him how you feel.â
You want to tell her that the problem is that you were a distraction from his real life, not that anything happening in Jesperâs life is a distraction from you, but Inej has her own problems and you canât ask her to play relationship counselor any more than she already is. You muster up a weak smile and thank her for the chat, then go to work like itâll make you feel any better.
You do get your revenge in some small way. Usually, you and Jesper meet up for lunch, or if not that then at least once before the day is up. This time, though, you mind your own business, and go out of your way not to run into him. Youâre not sure that you could stomach the sight of him so happy, so utterly unaware that heâs giving up on you.
Without you making a conscious choice to seek him out, you actually end up passing a few days before Jesper finds you. You were almost starting to think that heâd give up entirely, but no; four days pass since the morning after your forgotten anniversary and Jesper corners you at the Crow Club. You should have known better than to show up, really, but you were just stopping by for a quick drink and it slipped your mind.
Scarcely had you settled at one of the stools lining the bar when Jesper appeared by your side, one eyebrow raised expectantly. âWould you like to tell me whatâs going on, or do I have to guess at it myself?â
âHello to you too,â you say with a sigh.
Jesper groans. âDonât give me that. Iâm trying to be nice but youâve been avoiding me, donât try to deny it. Can you just tell me what I did wrong so I can apologize and we can move on?â
His wording irks you. Heâs acting like youâre some kind of puzzle to be solved, a temporary issue that he can handle and then subsequently ignored. You donât want to be ignored, though. Not again.
âOur six month anniversary was earlier this week,â you say simply.
Itâs all that Jesper needs to be reminded of what heâs forgotten. He winces in pain, then turns back to you, the perfect picture of apology. âSaints, Y/N, Iâm so sorry. Iâll make it up to you, I swearââ
You cut him off, voice blank. âHow?â
Jesper blinks at you. âWhat do you mean?â
You gesture loosely at him. âHow are you going to make it up? Are you going to remember the next anniversary? Are you going to pay me a single shred of attention unless I have to fight to get it?â
âY/N,â Jesper says desperately, âI messed up, I know that, but it wonât happen again. Youâre my whole world, I would never do this on purpose. You have to realize that.â
You tilt your head to the side, considering what heâs said. âI was your whole world. I donât know if I am anymore. I love you, Jesper, more than anything, but I donât want to keep being on the sidelines of every great thing you do. Iâm counting down the days until you forget about me for good. How long do I have left, Jes? How long until I blend into the background and Iâm no longer unusual or interesting enough to catch your eye? What will you do when Iâm no longer a bet that calls your focus or a gamble worth the odds?â
Your breath is heaving in your chest, but it feels good to say every single word. âI loved being your favorite,â you continue in a whisper, âbut I donât think I am anymore.â
Jesperâs eyes are wide and terrified. He thinks heâs going to lose you, you realize. You donât know if he already has or not. âI was wrong,â he says slowly, âwrong to make you feel like you were anything but my priority. I know I donât deserve a second chance, not if Iâve been making you feel like this, butâ Y/N, I love you. Really, I do. Let me try to show it again.â
Heâs taken your hand, his own fingers trembling as he links them with yours. You look at him and you realize that heâs being genuine. A pause, then:Â âAlright, Jesper. One more chance.â
Jesperâs smile is back on his face in a flash. âYou mean it?â
âYes,â you say with a laugh, âI do. I donât want to leave you. Thatâs the whole reason I was so upset.â
âItâll never happen again,â he promises.
You watch your face as he smiles back at you. His gaze is centered on you, pleased and happy, but thereâs something else there, hidden in the back of his eyes. Relief, yes, but more than thatâ complacency. An expectation that the normal roles have been followed. He did not really think that anything else would happen, even though it terrified him that he had come so close to losing you.Â
So you sit there, let him buy you another drink, and you think to yourself:Â what is the line, and how do you know when he crosses it? How will you let him come crawling back to you when he does? That is the worst part of love, you suppose, how you would fight for it even after it died.
Looking over at Jesper, though, how he stares at you like the rising sun, you think youâd let him kill you anyway. Itâs a worthy death. Perhaps that is why you let him stay each and every time.

Bling to the Ring [J.F]
Jesper Fahey x fem!reader
Summary: Fake marriage, you're already dating, but the place you're going to go on a heist allows only allows a specific married couple.
Taglist: @heliads
A/N: This took forever, but I hope you enjoy!
Masterlist
----â----
The sound of loud gunshots being fired off in the distance never seemed to faze you. You have lived in Ketterdam for a long time, and that sound is like hearing your everyday schoolbell.
And it definitely helps that a certain sharpshooter is always doing that. Practising his aim, twirling his pearl handled revolvers any time he has the chance. You've become immune to the sound at this point.
Walking down the dimly litted streets, you find yourself strangely calm. You don't know why. Perhaps this is one of your good days, but usually, this means something bad is about to go down. You shrug of all thought of that and walk into the Barrel.
You find yourself scanning the area to look for a certain sharpshooter. You find him at a table in the corner with a drink in his hand. To everyone but the keen eye, it looked as if he was just enjoying his drink, but at close inspection, he was holding his revolvers, ready to shoot at any given moment.
You were debating whether or not to suprise him and see how that would go, but you concluded that wouldn't go so well. You walked towards him, with a small smirk on your face, and sat across of him.
He looked up and locked eyes with you. You could see that he instantly calmed down and loosened up
"Thought you'd be playing cards over on the other table, but seems you've chose a more calm evening, eh?" You joked as you pointed to the drink in his hand. He chuckled and passed it to you, and you took a sip.
He pretended to ponder for a bit and then answered, "Decided to wait for my girlfriend, you know? Didn't want to start anything fun without her. It would be too inconsiderate."
"Well, I'm sure she is thankful Jes." You laughed, putting down the drink to hold his hand.
Over the past few months that you've been together with Jesper were the happiest you've ever been. He always seemed to make you laugh at any given moment and never forgot to include you in heists or anything under the sun.
After chatting along to various topics with Jesper, in your peripheral vision, you saw Inej walking swiftly towards you. You turned your head to greet her, and she nodded your way.
"Sorry to interrupt your moment, but Kaz wants us upstairs in his office." She said, smiling at the both of you and left as quickly as she came.
"She did interrupt our moment, but I didn't want to mention it. She might stab me in my sleep." Jesper gulped but quickly replaced it with a wholehearted laugh. You just rolled your eyes and shook your head with a small smile. He stood up and offered you his arm, you gladly took it.
At Kaz's office, he explained to the three of you that he planned a heist. The reward would be a lot of kruge. Kaz said this information first with a small smirk. He mentioned it being in a huge vault at a heavily guarded place. Only a few people are allowed in, and it's the people who added kruge to the vault.
The catch is that the people who built it only know that it was a married couple who added kruge to the vault. According to Kaz's source, they don't know what the married couple look like but do know their names.
Clearly, he expected you and Jesper to work on this as the "married couple." Inej would sneak in and take out some of the guards to clear your path of entry. But not before you pass the gates with security checks, Kaz made sure to enter you both into the system.
You got yourself prepared before going on the heist. Memorising the names and backstories just in case you were asked, you can only hope Jesper remembered his, too.
You were waiting out on the balcony, listening to the calm, quiet night before you, just hoping everything would go well for the heist. While in thought, you heard footsteps behind you. You knew who it was so you didn't bother turning around and instead answered out loud.
"Hey Jes. You ready?" You asked, turning around and leaning your back on the railings.
"Me? Not ready? Please, do you know me?" He pointed at himself with a smile, "I'm always ready." He laughed and went to lean beside you on the railings. "You doing alright there, love?"
You nodded, "Just hoping this will go well. It usually does, but I just want you to be safe."
He gazed at you intently and pulled you into a hug. You laid your head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat as he spoke, "Come on, we can do this Y/N, we always have." He pulled apart slightly but kept one hand on your waist and the other on your cheek, "Don't back out on me now, darling." He winked, and his actions easily made you to form a smile.
The place where the vault was kept was this mansion like building. The vault was kept underground, so the building on top was just for show or more like security. Trees overlapping the entryway to the building, and layers of gates and guards surrounded the place.
You and Jesper stood to the side, hiding behind a tree right before you entered.
"Ok, about more than a dozen or so guards guarding the front gate." You said, and Jesper nodded. "Stay calm, and it'll all go smoothly."
"My dear wife, let's go get that kruge."
Taking a deep breath, you both walked together to the front gate. You examined the area and saw only a few other people, probably rich people, stuffed with tons of money at their fingertips. The guards asked for identification and checked their names in the system of more paperwork.
When it went to you two, Jesper gave the identification papers, and the guard checked it. He looked at both of you cautiously and you could sense the suspicion.
"We're older than we look," Jesper chuckled, "My wife and I have... uh ... just been eating healthy. For the 34 years we've been together!" You both smiled through the awkwardness and hoped that the guard wouldn't suspect anything.
He gave you both one more glance but nodded, smiled, and handed back the papers. You both thanked the guard and quickly went through the gate. You let out a breath you didn't realise you've been holding in. Well, that's stage one complete, you thought.
Walking past the other gates was a piece of cake after that. Inside the building was less security, so there was less interrogation. It was a huge hall with lots of stairs going up, but what the way down was what you were looking for.
Blending in with the crowd, you and Jesper managed to get down the stairs of the building. Walking past the guards and into the vault room. It was well lit and huge corridor, rows of big vault doors on either side, but they weren't important. The important one you were after was the one with the green vault door, now that had the cheddar. That was at the very end of the corridor, aka the biggest vault there.
Earlier, Kaz had told you that the vault had a pass code but also a word identification. You looked around, and it was surprisingly quiet. You thought there would be at least a few guards, but none? You turned to Jesper, and he was already looking at you, all written on his face the exact same confusion you had.
"Maybe they went for a coffee break?" He laughed, nudging you along to follow him towards the vault.
"Sure and leave the vaults with more than a million kruge unguarded? It seems a bit off to me." Inquiring as you scanned around once more, while Jesper punched in the passcode and word identification.
A hissing sound was made as the passcode punched in caused the vault doors to open. You both glanced at each other eagerly and looked back to see what you had been waiting for. The vault doors opened and you expected to see stacks upon stacks of money.
Instead, you were greeted with two faces, the faces of the couple you were impersonating.
"Who are you, and how did you know the passcode to the vault?" The shorter woman shouted as the man beside her, assuming her husband started to come closer to the both of you, drawing a gun from his right pocket.
"Well, this is awkward," you said worryingly, "perhaps we should start running if we want to not get shot." Starting to take off in the opposite direction back up the stairs.
"Yeahh, good plan. I'll cover fire for us." Jesper said, The man started shooting at both of you, and Jesper shot back with his revolvers.
Suddenly, the alarm was set off, and you knew this was a mess. You could hear lots of footsteps and people shouting to either get out of the way or that they went this way.
You turned a corner instead of going to the stairs, which was your original plan, and went down towards the basement instead. Jesper was still shooting at some guards behind you. You saw an elevator down the hall, which would lead to the back of the building, your escape.
Jesper pulled you into a room, well, it turned out to be a closet. It was dark and stuffy, and the only light source was from the small window above the both of you. Brooms and dust pans were brushing up against you, and you were trying to wriggle out of the small space.
You could hear the guards running past, calling out to find out where you and Jesper were. It is literally the most cliche place to find the robbers, but you were glad they didn't think of it.
"Right, well, I'm not sure how we ended up like this. I'm not complaining though, got a great view from this angle." Although it was a bit dark, you could make out the outline of his smug grin.
"Jesper, as much as I love you, I would really like if we were able to live through this."
"Don't worry, I promise you, you won't get hurt. I won't let you get hurt. In fact, if anyone lays a hand on you I'll-" You cut him off with putting a hand over his mouth as a shadow of a guard was near the door. You hoped he wouldn't open it, and you thought he was about to until you heard the other guards call him over.
You lowered your hand from his mouth and let out a sigh, but Jesper quickly took your hand and placed a kiss on the back of it. "Couldn't let that opportunity go to waste." He winked, "I think the coast is clear we should be able to go now."
You swear this man always wants to give you butterflies every chance he can get. But you can't deny that you do enjoy it.
He opens the doors carefully, and you both make a run for the elevator on the left. Running as fast as you both could go, and this reminded you of your very first heist. It didn't go as planned, but you still enjoyed the adrenaline from it, maybe because you were with Jesper or because you enjoyed the feeling of knowing you'll stay alive at the brink of death.
As you entered the elevator, you pressed the buttons to the back of the building. The elevator wasn't a normal one. It could go all different sides if it wished. The owner of the building thought it would be useful to use to go whenever and wherever he wanted in the building.
You waited impatiently for the doors to close and stood at the side of the elevator while Jesper stood on the left side. Inej is supposed to meet you back outside at the back of the building, with the money, which you don't have.
You rubbed a hand over your face, annoyed. Well, there goes your chance of joy with bathing in some kruge. As if you'd get most of it anyway, Kaz would probably take most of it, to be honest.
Just as the doors were about to shut, you heard something you never knew would frighten you until now. A deafening noise of shock and horror that would twist your stomach into tight knots that would almost make it snap into two. The scene of crimson red blood slowly showing up.
The bullet came at the speed of light, and both of you never expected it. The sound deafened your ears and and everything was blocked out. A ringing covered your ears as you looked over at Jesper, whose normally grey shirt now started flooding with red.
"Well, this was definitely unexpected." He tried to make a joke and chuckle, but he collapsed onto the ground. With shaky knees, you rushed towards him, worry scanning all over your face, and even your eyes started to water.
The doors were closed, and the elevator started moving to the back. You checked him, and thank saints he wasn't shot in the heart, but it was dreadfully close, leave it untreated for too long, and he would die. You rushed to take off the jumper you had on and wrapped it tight around his chest to try stop the bleeding.
"Jes, you're going to be okay, I promise." You tried to reassure him, but honestly, you weren't sure yourself how much time was left.
"I can't die. I'm too amazing," he laughed painfully, so you put a hand on his shoulder to steady him. At this point, you're hoping the elevator moves fast to get him to safety.
"Y/N, I'm serious if anything happens to me. I just need you to know -" he started to speak, but you cut him off. "Jes, please, stop.. I need you to be safe. You're going to be okay." You looked around, hoping that Inej would be here soon to help both of you.
The elevator stopped, and you were now at the back of the building. You helped Jesper up, slinging one of his arms around your shoulder to help carry his weight. And you tried your hardest not to lean too much pressure, so he wouldn't hurt as much. You heard more voices, that of guards, and you both knew it would only a matter of time before they get to you and Jesper.
You tried to hurry to hide behind the old shed on the right side, but you weren't fast enough. And Jesper was getting worse by the minute. You didn't know what was going to happen next. All you saw were guards with flashlights running from your left towards you. And you tried to stop them by pulling out one of Jespers' guns, but suddenly, you felt something sharp hit your leg.
You looked down to see a dart of some type. It was one of those darts that can knock you out flat in just a bit. And you looked back up to Jesper, and he knew you wouldn't be able to carry him up for much longer. He grabbed the gun from your hand and started shooting at the rest of the guards who were armed. You felt dizzy, and you tried to stay awake and keep your balance. You couldn't just leave Jesper by himself. You needed him to be alive more than yourself right now.
Right before your unconsciousness' desire to take over won, you saw a figure taking out the guards and helping Jesper up. And this figure went towards you too, and you tried to get a better look at their face, but the sleep took over.
...
Dark. That was it. All you could sense was your unconsciousness. The feeling of falling asleep but not on purpose. You felt something down in the deep darkness, some hope, some light. Some hope that everything is going to be fine, and you wanted that.
You wanted that so much that nothing mattered anymore except that you wanted everything to be fine, go back to messing around with your friends, be in Ketterdam safe and sound. And what you wanted the most was for your Jesper to be safe and sound.
So you moved. You moved towards the hope. The shining brightness that you so wish to achieve.
You opened your eyes and realised you were in a room, not on the ground outside. But in your room, your bed. You peered around, the light stinging your eyes a bit, but after a while, it adjusted.
Suddenly, you're hit with memories of what happened earlier. You were taken back to The Barrel, but by who? Maybe that mysterious figure was someone you knew?
But right now, that didn't matter. You needed to find Jesper. You needed to know if he was ok and safe. You ran out of your room, hoping to find him.
Suddenly, you bumped into something, or actually someone. This figure turned around, and it was Inej. You gasped in relief and hugged her, she returned it and you had to ask.
"Inej, what happened? I blacked out. Where is Jesper? Is he ok? And-"
"Y/N. Calm down. Everything is fine, Jesper is in his room," You were about to say something, but she cut you off knowing what you were about to ask, "Recovering. And yes, he is fine. You can go see him."
You thanked Inej and quickly made your way to Jesper's room. You took a deep breath and opened the door, and there he was sitting against the headboard of the bed. He had bandages wrapped all over his chest, torso, and arms. It took you a minute to register that he was really ok and alive, and when you both made eye contact, you broke down.
You staggered over to him and hugged him so tight. You never ever wanted to let him go. Your eyes flooded with tears as they ran down your cheek, soaking through his bandages, he returned your hug and kissed your forehead.
"I'm so sorry! I knew something like this was going to happen, and I-" you bawled out into his chest, but he stopped you, taking your face with both of his hands gently and looking you in your eyes.
"Hey! Hey, calm down. It's ok, it's over. I'm here, I'm here with you," he wiped your tears with his thumbs, "right now."
Tracing his thumb over a scratch you had on your face from the heist, he clicked his tongue in annoyance, "I'm gonna get those guys back for hurting you."
"Me? I should be getting them for what they did to you. You're in bandages, love."
"Eh, it's nothing I can't take." He chuckled, "But I do need one thing from you that will make it all better." He whispered, and you knew exactly what he meant as you leaned in towards him.
A kiss was all it took to heal the sharpshooter. He smiled into the kiss because he knew now that he loved you more than ever. And you would always be there for each other, knowing that in his heart was everything to him.
Pulling away, he took the palm of your hand and kissed it, turning it over and looking directly on the ring finger. Rubbing a thumb over it, he pondered for a bit and then looked into your loving eyes.
"I should really add a real ring to that finger now, shouldn't I?"

for anyone who doesnât have twitter six of crows is currently being perceived by 81,000 people because someone on booktok is mad that there are so many words on each page. they also couldnât tell if grisha was a person or a place. itâs neither btw

When you think about it, Kaz is currently the most powerful person in the whole Grishaverse.
Why?
Well. Two of his best friends (Jesper and Wylan) literally run the merchant council of Ketterdam, one of his best friends (Nina) is the literal queen of Fjerda, he's acquaintances with the king and queen of Ravka (Zoya and Nikolai) who sometimes rely on him for missions, and his girlfriend (Inej) is an awesome, ass-kicking, and well-feared pirate empress.

Jesper's reaction would be priceless, I reckon he'd go through the 5 stages of grief

Does anyone else just sit and think about the fact that Six of Crows is literally the perfect book?
Like, we have a morally grey character who's actually morally grey and has a real reason to push people away other than "once I killed someone in self defense, so I'm a terrible person and we can't be together." And every other character has a super fleshed out backstory as well, including real world problems that don't usually get talked about in fantasy books.
There's just as heavy an emphasis on platonic love as romantic love, instead of "I can fix him", it's "he can fix himself", there's a gay couple that's actually happy and not suffering every five pages, and all of the gay characters have personality traits outside of the fact that they're gay.
And speaking of the romance, it's so not rushed or sexualized. No one even kisses in the first book, but it's still so obvious how much they love each other. Each couple has such a different dynamic, and the way their pasts mirror each other? Perfection. (I also firmly believe that Kanej is the best couple in all of YA prove me wrong)
And then the diversity??? 3/7 of the lead characters are POCs, 4/7 are queer, 3 have disabilities, 2 have addictions, 2 have PTSD, 2 are religious, one was raised in a cult, and it's not one of those books that has diverse characters just for the sake of being diverse!
The plot is so unique, especially among fantasy books, and despite the fact that there's so many moving parts, there is not a single plot hole. And the CK auction scene will forever be one of the best end of series climaxes I have ever read.
So basically I don't get why other authors even try anymore cause I'm sorry but no matter how great their books are, it's not going to be Six of Crows.
#this has been forming in my head for months and i was just waiting to find the right way to phrase it#but like tell me i'm wrong#six of crows#grishaverse#kaz brekker#inej ghafa#wylan van eck#jesper fahey#nina zenik#matthias helvar

rip shadow and bone. we would have loved to see dark alina. we would have loved to see matthias finally get out of jail. we would have loved to see kaz learn to love. we would have loved to see zoyalai on screen. we would have loved to see wylan's story. we would have loved to see the ice court heist. we would have loved to see colm fahey. we would have loved to meet kuweii. we would have loved to see jesper get over his gambling addiction. we would have loved to see matthias relearn all he knew for nina. we would have loved to see inej find her family again. we would have loved to see mal find out what life is like without alina. we would have loved to see nina learn to live for herself, instead of her country.
we would have loved to see more of the characters we all know and love.

we as a fandom need to recognize more that kaz brekker literally benefits from ketterdamâs version of pretty privelege
the girls at the menagerie want to take him to bed
multiple of the dregs (canonically jesper, inej, and anika) have a crush on him at some point
imogen was totally into him even at 14
the most terrifying man in ketterdam and heâs looking good while doing it! put some respect on my manâs name
