#jordie lives

[olskuvallanpoe]

jordie lives au where jordie becomes not like kaz but like one of those stiff, ignorant men of ketterdam who can’t see the connection between the barrel rats and the merchers, who dream of being one of the top dogs in the city but never reach it. that was the main aspect of his character, right? he wanted to be rich, but he was too ignorant to understand that the system was set to make the rich men richer and the poor men poorer. kaz was always the smart one, and so kaz will develop into the same infamous barrel thug he’d always been destined to be, and he would still hate pekka because, in a way, it was like jordie still died because of him. because of pekka, kaz saw his big brother’s weaknesses for the first time, and whether jordie lives or dies, kaz can’t help but hate him for his ignorance at the same time he loves the boy he remembers to be his doting big brother.

the boy! inspired by all those ''jordie lives'' fics.... Also he's not ''undead'' or anything... he's just alive and scarred.

Hi Erin! I just stumbled over your Jordie lives fic on AO3 and omg it is SO good! So well written of course, but also I really liked how the original characters were so well rounded and felt like they could actually exist in a way? Idk if I'm explaining myself, but they all felt real and authentic. And Kaz must be a difficult character to write but you wrote him to perfection. I really enjoyed that fic and would so love to read more about that universe you created if ever there was more of it ♥️

Thank you so much!!!! I really enjoyed those OCs, I'm very attached to them. Kaz is indeed a very hard character to write, so I'm glad he felt like himself!

If I did do something more with this universe it would probably be set a couple of years in the future and have more of a focus on Kerch politics and the labor movement, as well as Jordie and Máiréad's relationship (which was intended to be more of a thing in a guest but time jumps got the better of me) with the Crows and Hanna and Dirk still being supporting characters. It's all still kind of vibes at the moment though, so we'll have to wait and see if a plot solidifies.

Thanks so much for the ask!

[honeii-puff]

Okay so here's my take:

This doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't go to Ketterdam.

If they survived, I imagine that they'd both get jobs this time so they could get money faster and get somewhere to rent out at a boarding house.

As Kaz gets older (about 15), he would go to Ketterdam University to major in Business and bump into Jesper. Now remember, he doesn't carry all of the same traumas as Kaz Brekker, as this is Kaz Rietveld, so he and Jesper would get along *very* quickly. Kaz still knows the risk of putting money on the line, as of what happened to him and Jordie, so he talked Jesper out of going to gamble.

Now, Kaz goes back to the boarding house one night and ends up having a certain discussion with Jordie about a place called The Menagerie. Back in Lij, there were no brothels and pleasure houses, so the idea of the whole thing already screws them the wrong way. Kaz, when he was a bit younger (11-12), had days when he didn't work. so he taught himself how to pick locks in case he or Jordie got locked out of the boarding house one night, mainly so he could slip through a window. Slowly, one at a time, they (as well as Jesper; Brothels aren't very big in Novyi Zem either, so he was on board with this) sneak some of the girls out and onto a cargo ship to The Wandering Isle. One of those girls, is Inej Ghafa.

She decides to not get onto the cargo ship, wanting to be able to get back to Ravka, not The Wandering Isle.

Now, its a few months later, it's Jespers, and they're walking along the docks after having gotten a few drinks, when they see a kid that looks as if he was 12, to be crawling out of the harbor.

This is Wylan Van Eck, or, as he introduces himself, Wylan Hendriks.

Jordie automatically notices the family relation between Wylan and Jan, but says nothing, because, hey, there's probably a reason he left that out.

Jesper offers to let Wylan stay with him for a bit, as Inej was occupying the spare room in the apartment that Jordie and Kaz owned. Now, they were all in on the whole "escaping people from brothels."

A year or so later, Kaz breaks his leg falling off the roof of The Anvil while helping some boys escape from there.

And a year after that, while all of them were 16-17 (21 for Jordie), they move onto The White Rose. The first room they find themselves in belongs to a girl willingly working there to get money while waiting for a trial to get her lover out of Hellgate.

This is where we meet Nina Zenik and Matthias Helvar.

Now, they had been breaking kids out of brothels for *years* now, but that was nothing compared to trying to break into Hellgate.

With his career, Jordie was one of the right-hands to a man on the Merchant Council, and decided to pull some strings, write a forgery or two, and what do you know? Matthias Helvar is released from Hellgate.

And then they all get waffles.

@lilisouless what do ya think?

I wanna know what would've happened if Jordie didn't die? Would Kaz still have met the crows- in different circumstances? Would Inej have of been freed from the menagerie?

What do u think would've happened ?

[clarissaweasley-10]

Jordie probably spent his last hours reflecting on how much he failed his little brother-

[geekdom2005]

I'm listening to SoC again, as you do, and came across what is probably the most underrated lime in the entire book:

"A ghost with a syringe!?"

-Kaz Brekker

Mind you he thought this two seconds after thinking the ghost was Jordie

[skepticalcatfrog]

You know what's a small detail that soooooo many people seem to forget that's generally pretty inconsequential, but I notice it every time I see it?

Kaz and Jordie are NOT from Lij. They're actually from a completely separate, unnamed place. Which sounds unbelievable, I know, because everyone tends to include that information in various posts and content and etc, but I swear it's true! Look:

It specifically says that Lij is about two towns over from where Kaz and Jordie grew up. So where are they actually from??? The world may never know.

[pagesinmylife]

I’ve read most of the fics under this tag too and am writing ‘you thought the lions were bad’ which is a post-CK Jordie lives AU so if y’all wanna check it out 👀👀👀

There’s also the Jordie Ain’t Dead collection too!

Did you know that out of all the 6,380 Six of Crows works on AO3, only 90 of them are under the Jordie Rietveld Lives tag. 90. Most of which I have probably already read.

(I was spiralling after a reread once. Don't look at me like that.)

The point is, how am I supposed to get through the aftermath of season two when I don't have the resources to do so?

[barrel-crow-n]

Broke: Pekka didn't kill Jordie

Woke: It's a metaphor for Pekka killing Kaz's childhood innocence, which was being kept alive through Jordie

Bespoke: Kaz just needed someone to blame for Jordie's death so thought to himself hmmm who could I pin this on, chose Pekka, and rolled with it.

[monochrome-pierrot]

Jordie fell asleep while studying. Kaz is still getting used to the situation.

The wound/scars are partly from the pox and partly from waterdamage.

NEW CHAPTER (Sry its late)

[just-jordie-things]

when jujutsu kaisen hurts you so bad you finally start one piece

[sleepyskeleton-0]

It’s so quiet…

That’s the first thing Link notices.

Then he opens his eyes.

He lays in a field of soft green grass. The wind blows lazily and the trees sway in their place. There isn’t a cloud in the sky to obscure the sun, which bathes him in light and warmth.

He doesn’t remember ever feeling this warm.

It’s nice. He doesn’t know why.

He doesn’t remember anything before the quiet. It seems there isn’t anything after either.

Link is content with this. He could stay here forever.

He watches as a pair of birds fly overhead, twittering and singing to one another. He smiles and closes his eyes.

He listens to everything and nothing.

His slow, steady breathing. The rustle of leaves. The occasional chirp of a critter.

The smile doesn’t fade. This is what perfection is, he thinks.

Something brushes Link’s nose and he looks up to find a fairy perched on his face. He chuckles as her wings flutter in joy. She’s a little one, it’s evident in the way she looks at him, full of unbridled curiosity and joy. Yes, this is perfect.

Something fills his lungs, something light and beautiful and welcoming. It consumes his being and settles his thoughts, for what use is the mind when the soul is full and satisfied?

The fairy chimes and settles in his hair, relaxed and happy to join the stillness.

A few bees fly over to collect pollen from the flowers dotted among the grass in different shades of pink and orange and blue. They follow the direction of the breeze.

It’s refreshing and cold when he breathes in a deep breath. He seems to care not for sustenance, or the company of another. Being in the presence of nature is everything he never thought he wanted.

…

That presence is suddenly torn from him in a flash of light.

Warriors gasps as a surge of electricity enters his chest and zaps his heart.

Hyrule stares at him in a mess of tears and blood.

It’s dark and pouring rain.

It’s not quiet anymore…
