#kaz as a parent

[undercover-grisha]

Aashvi (Kanej kid): “Don’t worryyyyy, Amma won’t find out!”

Inej: “I won’t find out what?”

Aashvi: “See, this is why you’re not the fun parent.”

Kaz: “I’m the fun parent?!”

Inej: “Oh something has gone grievously wrong.”

Six of Crows au where the crows stay in Ketterdam after the heist (and Matthias is alive obvs) and Colm (Jesper’s father) visits Ketterdam all the time because those kids really need a parent figure like Nina what do you mean you haven’t seen your parents since you were a kid? Excuse me Wylan your father did WHAT NOW?? Matthias what about your family? Dead? Oh. Inej? ‘Somewhere in Ravka’ isn’t that specific. Kaz what do you mean your mother is Ketterdam go get some therapy please. And so Jesper’s dad adopts his son’s whole friend group

[frankencanon]

Six of Crows AU where there's some sort of International Farmers Association that has big meets every now and then where farmers come from all over and Jesper's father has met Kaz's parents there before so when Colm (Jesper's father) meets Kaz he recognizes him almost immediately

"Do I know you?" Colm asks, "That is, have we met before?" And then, before Kaz or anyone else even has the chance to respond: "The Rietvelds! You're the Rietvelds' boy, aren't you? Now, which one are you, then? Jordie or Kaz?"

Someone, inevitably: "Kaz is a farmboy?!"

Edit: I give full blanket permission for anyone to write fanfic of this AU, btw. <3

Family Business

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Jesper: Our son just asked me if the tooth fairy would only give him money for ‘his’ teeth and Im a little concerned

Wylan: … Where was he planning on procuring more teeth??

Jesper: I was afraid of the answer so I didn’t ask

Wylan: Probably for the best

I'm sorry but Kanej definitely owns prolonged staring. It's literally their love language!!!

[jazzkrebber]

if you ever feel like a hopeless romantic then remember Kaz got the girl by ripping a guy's eye out

[thejudeduarte]

Being a reader has corrupted me. Like, there are some things in life which I cannot truly see the same again. For example; every time I see an apple my mind immediately goes "JACKS!!" and every time I see some kind of black bird I always have to guess which crow it is. I'm like "well that one's on the roof so it has to be inej" I do it, often, it's disgusting and I can't stop 😭

[fantastic-nonsense]

may or may not have inadvisedly started yet another Six of Crows WIP 👀....

"Kaz, why is my mother forging paintings for you?" He shrugged nonchalantly. "I suddenly found myself in possession of a few paintings that would cause some stir if it were to come out that I had them. I merely relayed my dilemma to her over cards a few months back. She offered. I accepted. Who am I to pass up an offer from such an excellent artist?" “You’re not blackmailing her, are you?” he asked suspiciously. “If I wanted to blackmail a Van Eck I’d be blackmailing you, not Mrs. Hendricks. Much better material to work with.” He couldn’t decide whether he should be offended that Kaz still considered him an easy mark or relieved he didn’t have to try to ban him from the house for the foreseeable future. It wouldn’t have worked anyway, Wylan thought gloomily. Kaz had broken into the mansion while his father had been actively trying to murder him, and he hardly walked through the front door now. He’d just pick a random window lock and show up at breakfast anyway.  Still. Better than the alternative. He’d rather Kaz Brekker sit at his breakfast table than plot the demise of a second head of the Van Eck household (which would certainly be his fate if he did anything to keep Kaz from seeing Inej when she docked next week).

i am such a sleepy guy rn

[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.

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

I have too many wips to start this now however I do have a kanej au swimming around in my head so I’m gonna leave a little poll here to see if there’s interest in the premise and if it’s worth bearing in mind for the future

The premise: in a The Sound of Music inspired story (but warped slightly to fit a more grishaverse-y world and the characters’ backstories), Inej Ghafa escaped her abusers at a young age and was taken in by a Saints’ Convent where she has lived ever since. But Inej has never fit in with the Sisters here, and eventually the Mother Superior determines to find a new path for her. Inej, then, is to be sent to the household of Captain Kaz Brekker to work as a governess for his seven children - with the promise that the Convent is always open for her to return to should she wish.

After the death of his wife, Imogen, several years prior Brekker put his gloves on and never took them off again, distancing himself from the world and his children. Maybe Inej can start to melt the ice around Kaz’s heart - but with mounting pressure on the Kerch nation to ally with Fjerda in the coming war, and the country’s want of the Captain’s military expertise, how long can the happiness they are trying to grow even last?

Questions about the au are welcome, and as I said this won’t be coming any time soon but I have been thinking about it so if there’s interest I’ll add it to my list for the future

[sharksliveontrains]

anyone else think that if kaz & jordie hadn't gotten scammed by pekka rollins then kaz couldve been a magician

[blessedsweetgirl]

I wish someone loved me the same way Kaz loves Inej

[anxiety-and-bullshit]

Kaz being besties with Inej’s dad is something I love so much. Just imagine it.

Every time the Ghafa’s come to Ketterdam, they spend at least 3 hours playing cards together

Kaz telling him about his businesses and improvements he's made to the club (and him offering to help him make renovations)

Sharing stories about Inej

Him telling Kaz about tricks they performed for shows and Kaz tells him about similar stunts they did for heists

Him teaching Kaz little bits of Suli so he can surprise Inej

there's so many more I just LOVE the idea too much

[shit-people-probably-didnt-say]

Jesper: My son wondered what would happen if *everything* flooded at the same time. I had no answer, only terror

Nina: Wouldnt it depend on his ark building skills?

Wylan: He gives up on page 2 of any lego construction. We’re doomed
