Thinking about the inherent romance of Jesper guiding Genya in recreating Wylan's face. The fact that he's able to say "this is a face that I loved so much, and so instantly, that I'm able to recite its details from memory despite not having seen it for weeks". WHO DOES THAT.

Listen, I'm not the type of person who enjoys love triangles. They are always stupid, problematic, and are a pathetic excuse to create drama.
So it was a big shock to me that I genuinely didn't mind the Jesper/Wylan/Kuwei love triangle. I actually had fun reading it because it didn't get in the way of the main storyline and it was hella funny. And Wesper was still strong and endgame.
And in general, I don't mind Kuwei as a character and I genuinely don't understand why people hate him so much. I'm not saying that I love love love him, but I still think the hate he gets is rather extreme and wildly childish and unnecessary. Even if it's for Wylan's sake, who, by the way, doesn't actually hate Kuwei as much as it looks. Wylan knows better than that. I mean, come on, he's a 15-year-old who doesn't have a family and was hunted by the whole world basically. His crush on Jesper is completely understandable. I dare to tell me you wouldn't try to kiss Jesper if you were Kuwei.

“Person who believes they’re hard to love” and “person who thinks loving them is as easy as breathing” but make it wesper.
“Alright, that’s everything sorted for the fruit imports from the Southern Colonies,” Jesper says, dating the document he’s been working on and carefully adding it to the correct folder. “What do you want to tackle next, sugar cane or…” He rifles through their stack of mail until he finds the letter he’s looking for, printed on thick lavender paper and embossed in gold. He holds it up with a grimace. “This summer ball invite from Boreg?”
As soon as he looks up from the desk he realises something is wrong. His merchling has curled up on the armchair, knees tucked up to his chest as he picks at the skin of his fingers.
“Wy? Love, what’s wrong?”
Wylan sniffles and wipes the back of his sleeve across his nose. “I don’t deserve you.”
Discarding the offensively lurid ball invite on the desk, Jesper crosses the room and kneels on the floor in front of him. “What do you mean, darling?”
“I know you hate it, having to read everything to me all the time. I know how fidgety you get when you have to sit still, and I basically trapped you here with me because you’re too much of a good person to leave.” The words spill from Wylan’s lips in a sad, frustrated wave.
“Hey, hey,” Jesper says soothingly, placing a hand over Wylan’s where he’s clenching and unclenching them against his knees, but now that the dam has broken, the words just keep flowing.
“And I know it’s not easy for you, because I’m, well, me, and I’m hard to love and-”
“Wylan.”
So, so carefully, like he’s afraid he’ll flinch away and disappear if he moves too quickly, Jesper cups Wylan’s cheek with one hand and encourages him to lift his head to look at him. “Firstly, you didn’t trap me here, I offered. You’re right that import taxes and bills of lading don’t exactly get me going, but I promise you, I’m right where I want to be, because I’m with you.”
Wylan’s mouth opens to speak again, but Jesper places one ringed finger to his lips.
“And secondly, you are not hard to love.”
Wylan’s eyes bore into his, wide as ever and glossy with tears. Jesper strokes his thumb over his cheekbone before continuing.
“Loving you is… it’s the only thing that’s ever made sense. You may have almost died in the canal, but I was drowning too, and I didn’t even know it.”
Now he’s the one who can’t stop talking, but something about Wylan’s gorgeous, brown eyes, the way he’s looking at Jesper so hopefully, makes him want to keep going.
“Then I met you and it was like I could breathe again.”
If he could pull his heart out of his chest, hold it in his hands and present it to Wylan and say “here, it’s yours” then he would. It would probably be easier.
He takes a calming breath and plasters an admittedly somewhat weak smile on his face. “So no more of this kind of nonsense okay? Because loving you is the easiest thing in the world.”
Wylan’s returning smile is just as wobbly. The tears that have been clinging to his lashes and threatening to fall finally do, tumbling down his pink-tinged cheeks. “You’re such a sap,” he finally manages to say, tugging Jesper close by the nape of his neck and pressing their lips together in a slightly damp kiss. “And I’m definitely not doing any more paperwork after that speech.”

Whilst reading Crooked Kingdom again, I stumbled upon a totally underrated Wesper moment:
Chapter 18: Kaz, the scene where Kaz and Wylan are standing in Van Ecks office with the safe
"How would I run an empire?" asked Wylan. "I can't read a ledger or a bill or lading. I can't write a purchase order. My father is wrong about a lot of things but he's right about that. I'd be a laughing stock."
"So pay someone to do that work for you."
"Would you?" asked Wylan, his chin jutting forward. "Trust someone with that knowledge with a secret that could destroy you?"
Yes, thought Kaz without hesitation. There's one person I would trust. One person I know would never use my weakness against me.
So, obviously, Kaz' trust in Inej is so amazing. He loves her, trusts her.
But can we talk about what this scene means for Wesper for a second? Wylan believes that having someone read for him, do these jobs for him would be giving that person the tools to destroy him. He can never imagine running his father's empire because he could never have anyone cose enough to trust them with this kind of knowledge. He will not let anyone read to him, because it would put him in danger.
And then, at the end of the book, this changes. Wylan's walls in this instance were torn down, by Jesper: Jesper wiggled his way into Wylan's heart, earned his trust, and Wylan, who has never done this before, lets down his guard and gives Jesper his absute trust. He loves and trusts Jesper so much that he unlearns the things he always believed about himself, and allows himself to be vulnerable - for jesper.
This is my absolut comfort ship.

Things that make me crazy about that Wesper deleted scene!!!
The way Jesper launches himself across the room- JUST like he did during the kiss scene in Wylan's workshop - the second he's realized how vulnerable he's made himself when Wylan doesn't immediately respond the way he's hoping he will... he's protecting himself emotionally by putting physical space between them 😭 😭😭
The way Wylan completely doesn't get it but tries so hard to understand when he sees Jesper do that (and Jesper's face journey from embarrassed to resigned bashfulness to just utter FONDNESS as he realizes that Wylan needs this spelled out for him!!)
Wylan clambering across the bed to get to Jesper once he works through his own shock at what Jesper is asking him (and the idea that he is wanted?? Enough to be offered this?? 😭) and Jesper also, like, climbing back onto the bed to get to Wylan and both of them being on their knees is just?? help??
Wylan realizing that Jesper is now freaking out and just kissing him is so book!Wesper first kiss coded and the way Jesper melts into it, the way you can see his shoulders relax is so !!!
Every interview I've seen where they've spoken about Wylan and Jesper finding home with each other... well it all makes sense now, doesn't it? From Jesper turning the coin to a key in ep 1 to Wylan practically living on the streets, this scene just rounds out their arcs for the season so well!
In conclusion I love them and I'm so glad we got to see this 🥰
edited to add: OMG I forgot the whole reason I started writing this post was to observe that Wylan did not break eye contact with Jesper ONCE from the moment he understood the meaning of the key, no turning of the head, no hiding his beautiful smile! He was completely open and vulnerable, in a way we hadn't quite seen yet... the way Jack played this scene was noticeably different and I think very much purposefully so.
ok I'm done now!!

The thing is, I can forgive a lot of it. The scene where Kaz tries to help Inej with her wounds? I guess it was a nice nod to the CK scene, if slightly too soon. The "I will have you without Armour?" Fine. We all wanted to see that anyway. Rushing Wesper into a relationship rather than keeping as the slow-burn from the books? Okay. I really loved them on screen despite that. Kaz beating up the dregs? Definitely could have done without it for obvious reasons, but whatever. I can brush it off.
But the two things that are really grating on me are Kaz's face-off with Pekka Rollins and Inej leaving to hunt slavers. Because the POINT of these things happening towards the end of the second book is that there's a build up.
These characters go through so much. We learn everything about them, we see their struggles and we root for them. We spend SO much time learning about Kaz's thirst for revenge. We see moments where he starts to lose it when it comes to Pekka, and slowly start to learn why. And at the climax of Crooked Kingdom, there's so much on the line. We finally see him snap. There's a build up there of something that he's spent his entire life and two whole books working towards.
The first season of Shadow and Bone consisted of 8 episodes. So we can estimate that the crows had probably less than 4 hours of screen time. And we learned nothing about them, really. They were the mysterious trio that were hired to steal something. And then suddenly S2E1's "Brick by brick" turns into the peak of Kaz's character arc. It takes away the impact and the reasoning behind it.
And the same for Inej. Where is the journey? Where's the trauma that was inflicted by a woman who was truly evil? When we see Inej running into Tante Heleen for the first time in the duology, she freezes. She can't do anything. Are you telling me that the same girl who is so terrified of this woman can face her without a problem?
Again, there's so much of a development here as well. Inej has this realisation and this epiphany about what she wants to do. She wants to hunt down these slavers. She wants to make sure that nobody goes through the same stuff that she did. And when she sees Heleen after that, it's when she slowly starts to lose power over Inej. I mean, she steals the necklace straight from her neck, for crying out loud. Erasing Inej's trauma from S1 was a problem but they dug themselves in a deeper hole by killing off Heleen. She can't go through the journey that she's supposed to. Her entire character arc was just completely erased.
And the thing is, in the duology, Inej still goes through even more hell before she can get free from her indenture. The Ice Court Heist, Van Eck's torture, Dunyasha, etc. And yet... she's free before the start of the heist?
The heist is an important job for each crow. They all have a reason for being there, and they all have something on the line. None of them really think they're going to survive it, but they're trying anyway because, at this point, what do they really have to lose? And for Inej, this is her chance to get the money to leave the barrel. So... are you telling me that she's going to willingly come back to help on a life-threatening job for freedom that she no longer needs? What's going to happen with Kaz now that he's already had that stand-off?
Would love to know because right now I'm as lost as the rest of the book fans.

Six Of Crows College/University Modern AU fanfiction recommendations part of Lunar's soc fanfiction rec series
-------------------------------✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧----------------------------------
Birds of a Feather by @sc11vb
Wordcount: 8.8k Chapters: 6/? (It's still being updated:)
Characters: Nina Zenik, Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker, Matthias Helvar, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Zoya Nazyalensky, Nikolai Lanstov, Tolya Yul-Bataar, Leoni Hilli, Alina Starkov, Maleyn Oretsev, Background & Cameo Characters
Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Friendship/Love, Plot What Plot, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fluff without Plot
Author's summary/notes: “You know what they say, ‘trouble is my middle name’.” “Your middle name is Deirdre,” Inej said. “Don’t remind me,” Nina groaned. My summary/notes: In this fic we have a years worth of Kanej pining and currently there is some drama between those two, let's just say the angst is angsting. We have some other grishaverse characters featuring in the fic as well, there's established helnik and established wesper. I love Nina so much and in typical modern!au Nina fashion she comes up with a plan to stop the Kanej pining and it certainly is a plan... Nina and Inej's friendship very important in this fic (as it should be) and its written so well.
---------- ☾₊ ⊹
I Like You a Latte by sevenofcrows
Wordcount: 45k Chapters: 28/? (Hasn't been updated since Janurary but the last chapter works well and doesn't end on a cliffhanger)
Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Nina Zenik
Tags: Alternate Universe - Coffee Shop & Cafés, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Kaz Brekker Needs a Hug, Kaz Brekker is Bad At Feelings, Texting, Fluff, Tooth-Rooting Fluff, rated explicit but the chapters are marked + not related to the plot, so the explicit parts can be ignored
Author's summary/notes: "Kaz Brekker was not your usual college student. He didn't leave assignments until the last day, he didn't stress over finals, he never left the house in sweatpants and a t-shirt. He was always put together, dressed in jeans and a properly ironed shirt, the answer keys to his next three exams hidden away in his computer and essays already written even before they were assigned. He didn't leave things to chance. If you asked any of his friends, they would call him a control freak. He liked to say he was born to be in charge. So, seeing him rush into a coffee shop with his hair messed up and shirt wrinkled was a once in a lifetime event." What happens when Kaz Brekker meets Inej Ghafa, a bright eyed barista who seems to read his mind when it comes to his drink orders? They fall in love, of course. This is the story of what happens in between. My summary/notes: You ever get that fic that you don't entirely remember whats it about because you haven't read it in a while but when you read the title the flush of serotonin and you just start to smile because you just remember that it was SO GOOD, this is one of those fics for me. Honestly the author's summary is just perfect, but heres some notes. The recipe thing is so cute, the kanej here is so adorable, Inej with the doodles is again so cute. The last thing I will say is they're both down so bad, especially Kaz.
---------- ☾₊ ⊹
honey, honey by halfahint
Wordcount: 21k Chapters: 3/3
Characters: Inej Ghafa, Kaz Brekker, Nina Zenik, Matthias Helvar, Wylan Van Eck, Jesper Fahey
Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, POV Inej Ghafa, Friends With Benefits (sort of), To explain the Friends With Benefits tag it basically means that they agree to work on healing their respective touch phobia together, Intimacy, (but also emotional intimacy, feelings are hard
Author's summary/notes: “Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side. “I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?” “Well, who would you suggest?” Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?” “Kaz has – “We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly. My summary/notes: A story of healing as Kaz and Inej work on their touch phobia and while doing that they fall harder for eachother (they already knew eachother 2 years before the events of the fic). They have some cute moments. The crows dynamics in this fic are showed so perfect, it defintely reminds me of book!crows.

You'll Be With Me Wherever I Go by @rupturedhaven
Wordcount: 35k Chapters: 18/? (It's still being updated:)
Characters: Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Nina Zenik, Matthias Helvar, Genya Safin, Maleyn Orestev, Nikolai Lanstov, Zoya Nazyalensky
Tags: Six Of Crows AU, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Alternate Universe - College/University, Grishaverse, Texting, Drunk Texting, Chatting & Messaging, Fluff, Background Relationships, Background Characters Freeform, Slowburn, minimal angst
Author's summary/notes: It's their last year of university, and Jesper has insisted on starting a new group chat. There's chaos. There's bickering. There's friendship. There's love. Six of Crows texting fic. My summary/notes: Ok, ok, I love Rupturedhaven's fics, they write brilliantly so recommending this fic was a must. In this fic you get to see more of the Wylan and Matthias friendship dynamic. There is of course some Kanej pining after eachother and the latest chapter-. A TON of Wesper flirting and you get to see them go from friendship to lov- as well as going into some of Jesper's troubles. The Nina and Kaz dynamic in this fic is definitely siblingly and I adore it. Helnik also develops in this fic and we get to see them be as amazing as ever but also go through a couple problems but nothing can ever stop Helnik those two are so adorable in this fic. I was about to write about the amazing Nina and Inej friendship in this fic but I'm going to finish off by saying that all the friendships in this fic are just beautiful.

wesper winter day five!
theme: first meetings
prompt: forced proximity
summary: Jesper had been told he was obnoxious countless times. Fondly, by his father. Matter-of-factly, by Kaz. Exasperatedly, by Inej. Irritatedly, by most people. It was something that he took pride in- he could piss off even Kaz, if he tried hard enough, and he found it entertaining. But something about being obnoxious to Wylan was particularly enjoyable. Maybe it was the way he blushed, or the way his ears went so red they blended into his hair when he was mad, or the faces he pulled when he thought Jesper was being insufferable, but it was fun. And Jesper had never been known to resist a good bit of fun.
or: Kaz makes Jesper supervise Wylan as he makes his bombs, and they piss each other off :) book-verse
no tw, rated t for sexual innuendos.
full thing below the cut, and enjoy!
“Why are you here, again?”
“Because, novice, Kaz doesn’t trust you to be making bombs on your own.”
Wylan made a face. “Oh yes, because they’re so much less likely to blow up in my face with you here overseeing,” he grumbled. Jesper watched as he twisted two wires together, then moved on and studied two powder-filled bottles.
“Less worried about them blowing you up,” Jesper said. “Kaz doesn’t really care about that. You die, he goes back to using Raske, the better demo man.”
“Just because his bombs are bigger doesn’t mean they’re better.”
“Are you saying size doesn’t matter?”
Wylan’s mouth shut with a click, and the furious blush on his face undercut any fear his glare may have caused. Jesper grinned. He did love teasing that blush out of him.
“I’m saying,” Wylan started primly, “that at least mine aren’t prone to explode the second you touch them- don’t.”
Jesper held his hands up in surrender. Wylan rolled his eyes and went back to his chemicals. Most of the flush had died down, but there was still a pink tinge to his cheeks.
Jesper had been told he was obnoxious countless times. Fondly, by his father. Matter-of-factly, by Kaz. Exasperatedly, by Inej. Irritatedly, by most people. It was something that he took pride in- he could piss off even Kaz, if he tried hard enough, and he found it entertaining. But something about being obnoxious to Wylan was particularly enjoyable. Maybe it was the way he blushed, or the way his ears went so red they blended into his hair when he was mad, or the faces he pulled when he thought Jesper was being insufferable, but it was fun. And Jesper had never been known to resist a good bit of fun.
“I do wonder why Kaz took you on. I mean, it’s not like you have any particularly fascinating traits.”
“And I assume he hired you because he needed someone to talk his ear off?”
Jesper could take the hint. He could shut up and stop being such a podge.
“He hired me because I know how to shoot. Best in the Barrel, love,” he said, winking. Then, just because he liked being an asshole, he continued: “Something I’m sure you can’t relate to.”
“I also can’t relate to gambling away kruge I don’t even have yet, but you don’t see me taking every opportunity to mention that, do you? Now, unless you sit still and shut up I’ll accidentally splash spare acid in your eye and then turn you out to wander the streets for a medik blind,” Wylan snapped. His glare was back in full force, and if looks could kill, Jesper probably would have been dead.
He laughed. “I didn’t know you had it in you, novice. I’m impressed.”
“Wasn’t part of my threat about you shutting up?”
“Alright, alright, shutting up. Can’t very well shoot without my eyes, I suppose.” Wylan looked away, and Jesper felt himself grin.
Interesting, he thought, and then: he is cute when he blushes.

So I think I finally know what my favorite or at least most emotionally impactful moment was of ASOCAS and it was this: When Kit first saw my Wesper Artbook.
Tumblr media
Mans jaw dropped when I told him I was the one who made it, told me how impressive /amazing (some sort of that was) and went right back to open mouth stare as I started to flip through it a bit.
At the moment I really had no idea what clever thing to say. I did say things of course, answered to what he was commenting, said a few things about some of the pieces in there especially the 0.2 seconds Wesper moment in the S2 trailer redraw I did back in then. Talking to him was very easy for me overall. I didnt stammer, nothing, actually felt always quite calm whenever I saw him and realized. You know what, he's just another fellow person and I do know how to talk to people so.
But anyways, today it just really hit me. If that was a genuine reaction to my art (I am just paranoid b they do be actors ya know but if certainly felt genuine to me) then I had Kit Young speechless for a few seconds... and that somehow hits me quite hard.
I KNOW why it does too, but I am not sure I can explain it adequately what exactly it is about that that makes me feel so much right now. If anyone would like me to elaborate I will try tho to make it as clear as possible what I mean.
I can tell you it is vaguely related to a certain piano scene tho and the fact that somehow I had absolutely NO, zero, nada, clue or expectations how both Kits and Jack's reaction to my Artbook would be and when I got it, it's still taking me to process. Heck I could make another post about Jack's reactions too.
Bless ASOCAS staff for capturing this exact moment, I had no idea these pics exists until I saw it on their IG story.

Who is your fav Crow? (Mine is a tie between Kaz and Inej)
What is your fav ship? Why? (Mine is Kanej because duhh)
What your fav scene out of the whole series?
What is your fav scene of your fav Crow?
1. Goddddd, why would you make me choose? 😭
I think if I had to choose i'd choose Inej or Nina maybe?? Idk man choosing this stuff's hard
2. Same for me!! I love Kanej so much because it's built with a sort of trust and understanding that you don't really see in YA books. It shows that ppl can change if they want to and how you shouldn't settle for less just because you love someone, how loving someone has to also be a choice and not just a feeling. They really changed my view on love as a whole and I also love how they're both interesting in their own way outside of their relationship
No hate to Wesper and Helink, I love them too but Kanej altered my brain chemistry a little too much
3. Again, a hard question, but I think I have an answer for now (idk might change later 😅)
It's probably the scene where Kaz beats every Dreg that stands with Per Haskell. It's just so badass and also the way Inej said that she'd kill everyone who dared to beat Kaz up and how he silently tells her to wait and then beat the shit out of everyone *chef's kiss*. I just think it's a scene where we truly see Kanej in it's truest form: them just trusting eachother and just Inej being there and Kaz knowing oebdhebdhdjdn.
I love them
4. Okay so for Inej: the incinerator scene a hundred percent. It shows how strong she is and her internal struggle after being taken from her home. Also i'm pretty sure this is the first scene where she realizes what she wants to do with her life: hunt slavers. I think this is the moment where I just truly feel in love with her character
And for our dear Nina: the scene where she heals Inej after she's been stabbed by Omen. I personally think that Nina's greatest qualities are her stubborness and her loyalty. These are shown on multiple occasions but out of all of them I choose this one because it's also a side of Ninej here and I love them sooo yeah, no other reason really. Anyway what I mean by stubborness and loyalty is this: Nina isn't a healer and we are told she has very limited knowledge on healing but she still forced herself to heal Inej because she's her friend. She was stubborn enough to push herself to the brink of exhaustion and loyal enough to do so for her friend.

Tumblr media
❥ about me!
my name is elizabeth, eliza, or el. i am in my 20s and currently enrolled in an undergraduate program. i am anishinaabe (ojibwe/chippewa) and white. i am a gemini! i’m a lesbian. i study theater performance & creative writing. i hope to go to grad school to get a MFA in playwriting. i have a cat named willow. my favorite color is pink. my favorite album of all time is 1989 by taylor swift. currently, i am a server and i often complain about my job.
❥ music and musicians!
taylor swift and all the subsequent niches in that fandom such as the eras tour, fashion, etc. with a particular passion in lyric analysis. stevie nicks and fleetwood mac have a chokehold on me. female pop stars have recently taken over my life, such as sabrina carpenter, chappell roan, lana del rey, olivia rodrigo, and maisie peters. artists like phoebe bridgers, mitski, and ethel cain have been on repeat recently. i’m not big into male artists but i do love hozier and harry styles. i’m still not over one direction either. as i’ve stated, i am into theater which means that i love musicals. my favorites are moulin rouge, anastasia, wicked, six, hamilton, phantom of the opera, rent, little shop of horrors, hadestown, and the last five years.
❥ on-screen media!
i’ve been very into the dceu, specifically teen titans 2003 + all media involving dick grayson and koriand’r together. once upon a time i was really into the mcu, specifically spider-man. and even more specifically, spidermj & spidergwen. i have a deep love for movies and their aesthetics. i have so much love for the star wars franchise. tv shows take up a good portion of my brain. as for sitcoms the good place, derry girls, it’s always sunny in philadelphia, friends, the office, parks and rec, and new girl come to mind. other shows include yellowjackets, bridgerton, anne with an e, stranger things, gilmore girls, gossip girl, heartstopper, and the summer i turned pretty. unfortunately, i love miraculous ladybug.
❥ books!
i love reading (i say as i’ve read like five books this last year). whenever i read something i immediately get obsessed which was completely the case when i read the girshaverse (six of crows and shadow & bone). kanej, genyalina, helnik, and wesper have my heart. the folk of air books have a special place in my heart. the hunger games was one of first obsessions ever and still is, everlark raised me. unfortunately, i love the harry potter universe but don’t interact with it much because of jkr. and even though i love anne with an e, i love the anne of green gables books even more.
❥ writing!
i currently write on archive of our own! i have fics about the dceu, miraculous ladybug, anne with an e, six of crows, folk of air, and the hunger games. you can find my account here!
that’s all! thanks for listening <3

Intro post! + links to everything :)
Hi, I'm DK and this blog is mostly full of me talking about the Six of Crows and the rest of the Grishaverse! (and I'm also on AO3 as she_posts_nerdy_stuff)
It's occurred to me recently that I never did an intro post and also I'm just generally feeling that things over here are super disorganised so I've gone through all of my posts since 2022 (this was not a quick task you guys omg) and done my best to organise everything into tags so that you can access them all from here! All the links to the tags, or sometimes individual posts, are below the cut, and the categories are AO3, Grishaverse analysis, Grishaverse edits, Grishasverse knitting projects, and Grishaverse incorrect quotes.
Please note: this is a lot of stuff to wade through and I am sure to have missed the odd thing, but hopefully this is pretty mch everything! If you're looking for something that I've said should be here and can't find it, let me know and I'll do my best to track it down :)
Thank you all so much, love to you all <3
AO3 LINKS (I'm starting with the easier links, I don't have to make tags for these ones)
Original works
As I'm writing this I have four fics up on AO3, two of which are works in progress, and I'll update this post whenever that changes (ie when I finish them or when I start a new one)
UPDATE: Five fics now! Links are below <3
Daughter of the Rain and Snow
225k words, 146 chapters, Kanej focused with Wesper featured and Helnik kinda mentioned, post-canon, no archive warnings, completed
Summary:
Around ten years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, 25-year-old Captain Inej Ghafa frees Maya Olsen from a pleasure house in Ketterdam. Maya is looking for revenge against the man who put her in her position, a man who she knows nothing about except his name: Kaz Brekker.
Don't Go Blindly Into The Dark
100k + words, 60+ chapters, Wesper focused with Kanej featured and Helnik mentioned, pre-canon, canon divergence, no archive warnings, work in progress
Summary:
To hide that he can't read, Jan Van Eck has been forcing his son to pretend he's blind since he was eight years old. Wylan is now attending Ketterdam University, and meeting Jesper Fahey may very well be about to change his life. But is he safe to tell Jesper the truth? And what will Jesper say if he does?
Jesper is struggling to weigh up his life in the Barrel and his life at the University of Ketterdam, and there's a good chance that his growing debt is about to make the decision for him. He hasn't attended class consecutively for months, but maybe that will change when his newest project includes partnering up with Wylan Van Eck. But can he really leave the Barrel behind him? And how long can he keep up the pretence of who he thinks Wylan wants him to be?
Meanwhile there is a darkness growing in Ketterdam, and it seems a killer may be stalking the streets of West Stave. An unknown evil is closing its jaws over the city, and it’s starting to feel like nowhere is safe.
Our Gods Have Abandoned Us
19k + words, 11 chapters, Helnik and Kanej with Wesper kinda featured, so much angst, post-canon, canon-divergence (Van Eck wins AU), major character death, work in progress
This one properly started with this post
Summary:
"Of course they do, Jes," Kaz flexed his fingers in his gloves, "That's what losing a war means. And when that war comes, Kerch can't afford for Shu Han to win it. They'll back Fjerda against Ravka now so that when Shu Han turn against them Fjerda will back them in return. Ravka's navy will fall to Kerch's, most of Ravka's territory will go to Fjerda and if it has any money left then I expect plenty of it will be given to Kerch as part of the deal. The Shu will move against Fjerda to take back the territories they were trying to win from Ravka, and Fjerda will pay them little mind until they declare war on Kerch. Novyi Zem will back Shu Han, because they still think their trade ambassador was killed by the Kerch in what was actually Shu Han's last attempt to start a war over here, Fjerda will back Kerch, refugees will flee to the Wandering Isle and their economy won't be able to withstand it, and meanwhile I will remain exactly where I am and get drunk toasting to the end of the world. You're all welcome to join me,"
OR -
A Van Eck wins AU, mostly exploring how the Crows would respond to the situation but I have some semblance of a larger plot forming I just need to piece it together
If I'm Good Will You Come Back?
2k words, 1 chapter, sad and angst, gen but Helnik mentioned, canon compliant, major character death, completed
Summary:
Five times Matthias Helvar spoke to his baby sister through Djel, and one time that she answered
I’ve put major character death as a tag but it’s nothing beyond canon, it’s just depicted in this fic from a slightly different perspective 👍
Portrait of a Dead Girl
7 chapters so far, gen but also F/M, Alina and the Darkling are in a relationship in this but it isn't shipping them and the Darkling is the villain, canon divergence, alternate universe, rape/non-con, underage, major character death, work in progress
Summary:
Alina Starkov was given to Duke Aleksander Morozova of Os Alta in marriage when she was fifteen years old. Within a year, she was dead. The official cause of Alina's death was marked as putrid fever, but many at the time believed, and many in the future will go on to believe, that she was poisoned by her husband.
-
This fic is completely inspired by The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrel, which is a work of historical fiction based on the real lives of Duchess Lucrezia d'Este (née de' Medici) and Duke Alfonso ii d'Este of Ferrara. You don't need any prior knowledge of The Marriage Portrait or history to read and enjoy this fic, but know that my writing is very much going to mimic that of O'Farrel in format and although I'm hoping to write the story in my personal usual writing style I will definitely be borrowing a lot of my descriptors, symbols, and so on and so forth from O'Farrel - there will be some of mine too though :)
Somehow, Through The Storm
11 chapters so far but ongoing, kanej-centric with wesper and helnik featured, angst like you wouldn't believe, but also some happier times (ish), alternate universe, major character death, rape/non-con, work in progress
Summary:
In the slums of the Warehouse District, Kaz and Inej are struggling their way through a seemingly unending winter. Wrapped up in a stranger's overcomplicated marriage contract that he is convinced is key to solving the merciless weather, Kaz remains busy and distracted for days on end, putting everything else at risk. So when a storm ravages the city and sweeps Inej into danger, the offer of safety, food, and a place to stay is an overwhelming one - no matter the cost. Terrified of mounting threats, Inej signs a contract - not knowing she would land herself trapped at the Menagerie. Kaz signs a contract that states if he can walk all the way through the city and back to the Warehouse District with Inej behind him, never looking back at her, they will both go free. But this is the Barrel, the darkest part of the city where the rules of physics can change with the stroke of a pen; the journey back will not be the same as journey there… * This is a Hadestown-inspired reimagining of the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, casting Kaz and Inej as our main characters and heavily featuring our beloved Crows, set in an alternate version of the Grishaverse with a different magic system based entirely on contracts.

as netflix said “The Wylan and Jesper deleted scene fans have been clamoring for! This deleted scene from the Shadow and Bone Season 2 finale shows the two character sharing a pivotal moment in their relationship.”
they KNOW, so does it mean they will also give us THE SixOfCrows SPINOFF and SAB s3?
