The Wraith

[applecidersstuff]

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.

Kaz asked her “Is Inej Ghafa your real name?” and in doing so was the first person to recognize her as a human in years

He recognized “she would never be his, not really” and told others who tried to claim her that “she doesn’t belong to anyone”

He took her on as a spider and named her the Wraith. He said that spiders could be squashed. That she needed a fiercer name. I wonder if his motivations in giving her this title lie elsewhere still

He brought her out of a house where she was treated like an object. A thing to be bought and sold and sold and sold and sold. They didn’t call her by her name. She was the Lynx. Viewed as a thing and referred to as an animal.

She became a spider. Perhaps in coming up with the new moniker, Kaz had decided that he would not be one to dehumanize her after the Menagerie. A wraith is still more human than a spider.

Kaz: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat? Inej: >:O language Jesper: Yeah watch your fucking language Wylan: OKAY WHO TAUGHT JESPER THE FUCK WORD? Nina: 'The fuck word'. Mattias: Are you stupid? You guys use the f word all the time Jesper: Oh my god they censored it Nina: Say fuck, Mattias. Jesper: Do it, Mattias. Say fuck.

She was the Wraith – the only law that applied to her was gravity, and some days she defied that, too.

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"

“I will have you without your armor, Kaz Brekker, or I will not have you at all.”

Is Inej better than Kaz? Undeniably. Is she too good for Kaz? Probably. Even Kaz says so himself, saying that Inej is “lovely and brave and better than he deserved.”

But that’s not the part that matters. Because with the same breath, he refers to himself, saying that he’s “not so broken that he couldn’t pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her.”

That one line is what sets the Bastard of The Barrel apart from the pick me boys and the lazy bums. That one line makes Kanej the peak of romance. Because maybe he’s not good enough for her. But he’ll be damned if he doesn’t try.

And at the end of Crooked Kingdom, what do we see? Kaz Brekker, holding his Wraith, devoid of armor. Because maybe he’s isn’t good enough. But for her, he will be.

Inej "casually wipes the blood of kings on her trousers" Ghafa.

[ambericesage]

Kaz: *wears a slightly lighter shade of black*

Inej: I see you’re breaking out the spring colors

[po1sonous-l0ve]

Inej, playing a video game: How do I play?

*Inej has drawn first blood!*

*Inej is on a killing spree!*

*Inej is on a rampage!*

*Inej is unstoppable!*

*Inej is dominating!*

*Inej is godlike!*

Inej: Don’t worry guys, I figured it out.

[outroreads]

one of my fav quotes from six of crows:

“Many boys will bring you flowers. But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favourite flower, your favourite song, your favourite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart.”

*at a restaurant*

Wylan, in disguise: Hi, what can I get you?

Kanej's kid: erm, what do you have?

Wylan, squinting and desperately trying to read the menu: *glances at Kaz* Errrrrrrrrrrrr we have like...erm,...

Kaz: *glances back*

Kanej's kid: Hey! Uncle Wylan???? WHAT ARE YOU DOIGN HERE???

Kanej's kid: *spots Nina and Matthias trying to pretend they're another couple at the restaurant* AUNT NINA??? UNCLE MATTHIAS???

Kaz: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous.  Matthias: What if it bites me and it dies!?  Jesper: Then you’re poisonous. Jesus Christ, Matthias, learn to listen.  Wylan: What if it bites itself and I die?  Inej: That’s voodoo.  Nina: What if it bites me and someone else dies?  Inej: That’s correlation, not causation.  Wylan: What if we bite each other, and neither of us die?  Jesper: That’s kinky.  Kaz: Oh my God.

[mysticmiav]

Jesper and Inej's relationship is something so precious to me whether in the books or in the show. I love them wholeheartedly🥹✍️

[Repost cuz someone brought to my attention that Jesper & Inej's skin colours look lighter than they should be. I should've paid more attention to that so I apologize. This is an edited version that's hopefully more accurate!]
