Vindingrijkheid

Vindingrijkheid (Fabrication/Invention) is a spinoff story from Kanej Wensen, featuring Jesper starting his apprenticeship with Tij Bashnya at Toren Leder.

This takes place during and after Verbanden & Geesten. Jes begins learning how to better focus his powers, some leather crafting, and a good chunk about his mentor as well. We get a section from Tij’s POV, and see how she views her new found apprentice. We also get to see Jesper and Tij trading stories as they work on a custom order for Kaz.

CW for some discussions of past trauma, death, grief, and torture.

OMG I LOVE THESE RASCALS.

Wylan: no! i can't Mr Fahey! my father will never allow our love!

Jesper: but Mr Van Eck! would any of those noble suitors be here under the rain,shirtless, for you? Don`t you see that our love is richer than anything they can offer to you? Have you forgotten that night on the cabin when our love exploted like picric acide...

Wylan: "gasps" you heard what i said?

Jesper: i heard EVERYTHING that comes out of your precious lips.

Wylan faints in Jesper´s arms

Wylan: no! you can't tell them that! you can't keep changing the story on how we got together just because you don't think it´s romantic enought

Jesper: and how do i explain my friends in Novyi Zem that i got with a rich kid and there was no drama at all? My friend Fatima is a fan of romance novels and she´d be destroyed if she finds out we didn't have the long pining-ritual that involves class diferences

Wylan: you keep changing the story! and the worst part is that i faint in ALL of them, the only one you didn't have me fainting was the one when you told them we had a one night stand and you forgot-

Jesper: yeah, i was drunk when i told that-

Wylan: you even have yourself dying in one! Look, i get you don't feel like our begining was this epic love ballad and that the closest that i had to a love confession was "i like your stupid face" , but it doesn't matter, we don't need that; we have a special conection, we understand each other, i know its not a tale for epic love stories but it´s good enought for us and i wouldn't change it for the world.

Jesper: ...

Wylan: ...

Jesper: what if i use the story when we fall in love because our dogs fall in love?

Wylan: deal, but don't make me faint on that one

You know what makes Kaz a great boss? What makes him a better boss then both Pekka Rollins and Per Haskel?

He gets to know his crew and basically any people he’s working with. I know it’s basically an opposite of what he says about barrel gangs, but hear me out.

The main reason why Kaz was able to know that Big Bolliger was a traitor is because he knew that Bol was lazy. And knowing what he did in the "Crow club" it would be hard to know if he was lazy or just relaxed while on the job. Kaz knew that he was lazy - he took time to know the guy.

And also the thing that makes Kaz's plans good is that he keeps in mind all his crew's bad habits and vulnerabilities and plots around them. Its really easy to see that if you look at Jesper.

He keeps in mind that Jesper is late and that he can accidentally give up important info. We see that clearly in the beginning of the book. During the “set the wolf free” plan he made sure to tell Jesper the “wrong” time so that he would “be late” and free the animals at the right time. He knew Jesper would(or could) give up info by accident so he took precautions(saying this again: no one arranges an extra ship just to gather in front of it)

And we also have it in the end of CK.

I think both Inej and Jesper had been told the wrong time. Kaz knew that Dunyasha would be there, so he added some time for Inej to fight her. He talks with Jesper about kergud(I have no idea how to spell that, sorry) and also adds time for that fight. He might have actually putted the wyvil it Jespers pocket(as I do not remember Jes actually putting it there, or mb he just made sure it was there).

I mean, it would have been weird if there would be just the sound of one shot fired, but after the siren it would sound better.

When Kaz told Dregs that he won't be their father, he meant it, your father doesn't know you that well, but your sneaky annoying little sibling does.

Friendly reminder that Kaz Brekker aka Dirtyhands aka Bastard of the Barrel stopped in the middle of a mission to give a dog a belly rub🥺🥺

hi klaus nation

[dreamtigress]

The way I just dropped my ice cream to snortlaugh. Saints.

Parallels between my husband and Jesper keep lining up.

Jesper: My kink is deliberately saying some incredibly stupid shit and watching Wylan speedrun the five stages of grief as he realises, with horror, that he still wants to fuck me

[evellynssocbrainrot]

Daily reminder that both Kaz and Inej have touch aversion. Not just Kaz.

[ramen8008]

Kaz would drag every one of the crows if they were stabbed during the attack when Inej was, or any other situation that had any of them get hurt.

Sure maybe not during the beginning (and even if it'd be because they were essential to the plan) but he would because that's his fucking family whether he admits it or not.

*Vin diesel voice* And Family is important

HERE ME OUT!

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

Jesper, Kaz is dragging him out of there whether it's Jesper's fault or not. He'll either full on fireman carry that man or support him using his shoulder insulting him with every step.

"You're an idiot for getting stabbed"

"what was I- then why are you helping me?"

"Don't take it personally, you're still in debt to me"

"fuck you"

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

Wylan, Kaz is throwing him over his shoulder or princess carrying him. Wylan does not like it, and somehow with his pain he still manages to voice his displeasure.

"I don't like this"

"you're not the first, nobody likes getting stabbed. I'd be surprised if you did"

"I mean you carrying me bridal style"

"you're dying and you still have the ability to be nitpicky? Pfft- merchants"

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

Nina, Kaz isn't leaving her behind, he's either one, supporting her by the shoulder like Jesper or two, also carrying her in bridal style.

"[slipping in and out of consciousness] huh, expected you to leave me for the dead. Awww you care"

"don't die on me, I swear if I'm carrying you to the ship with my crippled leg just for you to die-"

"how chivalrous of you"

"don't get used to it"

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

Matthias, pfft if you think Kaz is letting that guy go when he can do anything about it you've never been more wrong. Kaz is dragging that giant hunk of a man by any means necessary.

"couldn't let me be at peace could you?"

"I'm a demon, aren't I? Well, hell needs you for a little while longer"

"How are you even supporting me?"

"purely by will power and spite"

[fantastic-nonsense]

stop saying "Kaz would be jealous and possessive over Inej if he thought she and Tolya liked each other" no he wouldn't! Kaz isn't like that! He defends Inej's freedom, autonomy, and desires at every single turn in the books. He spends the entire duology pining over her and yet gives her every single chance he possibly can to walk out of his life forever if she wants. It's the foundational cornerstone of their entire relationship! It's why they work in the first place!

literally the only Crow who does petty jealousy is Wylan and that's that on that, folks

[dreamtigress]

I call my husband my Jesper ALL the time, and he legit lost a pair of shoes to a mud field as a kid. It is a frequently told family story. Further proof my husband is my Jes.

Inej: Where's your shoe? Jesper: The giant mud puddle down the road required a sacrifice. Wylan, softly: Jesper, no..

[diangelosdays]

i may be a little obsessed with wesper

[kazz-brekker]

the book ice court heist has big group project involving people who don’t like each other vibes but the tv version is just going to be forced couples counseling via trying not to die together

[lilisouless]

Wylan: what do you want me to do about it?

Inej: what’s the problem?

Jesper: Wylan was never in the middle of a love triangle

Inej: which is….good?

Jesper: good? I don’t know where I stand in this relationship! Guys all fit in the “wholesome but safe” or the “dangerous but enticing” label, and without a love rival i don’t know which I am, am I the friendly ,reliable farmer boy that’s better than a jerky mercher son? Or am I the dangerous yet charming sharpshooter that Wylan would choose anyway over a clean rich guy? My identity it’s in danger

Kaz: that’s ridiculous, I didn’t have a love rival either

Nina passing by: only cause I let you win,buddy

[dasiesanddarkness]

forever thinking about Jesper Fahey, who had to realize the one thing he thought he was actually good at was just an extension of the thing he hated most about himself

[applecidersstuff]

No, but thinking about the original crow trio is so funny sometimes, because:

Kaz understood in two minutes what Darkling couldn’t in two weeks.

Inej visited a coronation, talked with her privater friend and his dragon queen and then went - “oh and btw that blond lady over there looks a lot like a dead saint that you were friends with, is it sankta Alina?”

And neither of them had ever even seen Alina or Nikolai before.

And then we have Jesper, who couldn’t tell apart his crush and the guy they stole from the Ice Court about a month ago….

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

Just a reminder that when the worst things in their lives began:

Kaz was 9.

Wylan was 8.

Matthias was 12.

Inej was 14.

Nina was 16.

Zoya was 9.

Genya was 11.

Kuwei was 15.

Alina was 17.
