#midweek roundup

This week’s roundup highlights three fics, including the tenth Weekly Grisha Prompts fic from @trassellynn! Thank you for all your fics and for bringing such bright Helnik energy! 

Fics for Prompt #20 were...

Hearing and Feeling by Lynn_Forster While treating Matthias' injuries, Nina confesses him how much she misses her old powers, but not only for their medical utiliy...

Quote: "The moment I turned my back", from Edgar Allan Poe's "Short stories - The cask of Amontillado".

Crows, Cats, and Lizards by Sarai The sleepover seemed like a good idea... several years into the happily ever after, the next generation of Crows gets into trouble at Wylan's house. Or maybe it was the cat's fault. Cats are wily creatures! Quote:  "Be seated, please, both of you,” from First Test by Tamora Pierce

And for Prompt #21...

The Train Job by Sarai Kaz has a plan. (Kaz always has a plan.) He'll need Inej's deadly silence and Jesper's wild energy. They're going to need a Heartrender and an explosives expert, too. Worst of all, they'll need luck on their side. The Crows are back from Ravka, but the havoc they've brought with them is more than they left behind. When Kaz Brekker decides to make a big, loud departure from the usual rules of keeping crime to the Barrel or keeping it quiet, he'd better know what he's doing or it'll be all of their necks.

This week’s roundup highlights one fic from Prompt #19!

Plans, After All by Sarai Wylan approaches his father with a simple enough request: he'd like to visit his mother's grave at the Hendriks lake house. Jan is less than receptive.

This week’s roundup highlights one fic from Prompt #18! One Bed and Twelve Kinds of Trouble by Sarai That's the way with Kaz: coming back from one job, already on another. When the Crows stop at an inn for the night, Jesper shares a room--with only one bed!--with Wylan. He has mixed feelings about the demo man and Kaz isn't helping. It's one night. How much can one night change, anyway?

This week's mid-week roundup has two fics to highlight from Prompt #17, including the first Weekly Grisha Prompts fic from middlemarch. Welcome to WGP!

The clear alternative to the king, the clown and the colonel by middlemarch

Alina was discovering it was possible to have quite a good conversation with Aleksander-- when he wasn't delirious.

A Night Out in Ketterdam by Sarai

Jesper swallowed. "I'll play a few hands, then I'll come home."

"What--" Wylan stuffed his hands into his pockets. He faced Jesper stubbornly, a look on his face like he wanted to hunch his shoulders and look at the pavement. "You're angry with me."

Who wants to play a game called “guess who can give this blog the attention it deserves now that finals are over”? ...everyone wins, yes, it’s me, prompts will be back to weekly regularity once more and thank you all who stuck with it!

This week we have one fic to highlight...

This week we have one fic to highlight from prompt 15, which used the terms “embox” and “nidification”! 

Let’s Hold Our Breath by Sarai When Inej first moves into the Slat, it's a safe place to rest her head. That's enough for her.

When Inej begins moving into Kaz's bedroom, she expects more.

Welcome to the mid-week roundup! This week we have one fic to highlight from Prompt #14: amnesia!

Before, Before by Sarai Wylan wakes up to a curiously empty house and a handsome, kind new tutor. He isn't sure what's going on, only that something is amiss even as he spends the morning with this strange newcomer.

Jesper knows exactly what's going on. It's happened before. All he needs to do is keep the merchling calm and ideally happy until his memory returns.

Everything will be fine as long as Jesper sticks to the plan and Wylan doesn't ask questions...

We have one new fic this week from the prompt to include an orange, broken glass, and a celebration!

Marmalade Toast by Sarai It's Colm Fahey's birthday! Unfortunately for Colm, he may have the clumsiest son in the universe. Luckily for Jesper, he has a da who doesn't mind.
