was sat finishing this when the news broke, which felt a bit symbolic lmao. no matter what iâll be here to make silly little drawings of these idiots that mean so much to me, and i look forward to all the wonderful stuff this fandom will create đŤś
running from a haunted house
âAlys?â he mutters to himself, a small coil of dread curling in his stomach as he lifts the phone. He presses his tongue to his teeth, nails scratching against his phonecase. Despite his fatherâs⌠everything, Alys was always sweet enough, comforting him after they argued and sharing biscuits with him. And she can make her own, independent decisions (he thinks). So itâs entirely possible that after a year of being estranged from his father, she just wants to check in on him. Simple as that.
Itâs that stupid, optimistic naivete that makes him slide the âanswerâ button and choke out âhelloâ into the receiver, his mouth feeling like sandpaper.Â
âOh, Wylan!â she chirps on the other line. Itâs so bright and so bursting with cheer that Wylan has to actually hold the phone a few inches from his ear. Alys remains a lot to get used to, he sees, and he doesnât know if heâs glad of that. âOh itâs so lovely to hear from you again.â
âNice to hear from you too,â he replies, crossing two fingers behind his back. Never in his life has he regretted something so quickly. âTo what do I owe this? Is everything okay?â
âOh everythingâs great. Wonderful, really. Oh Wylan, I have just the loveliest news!â
Wylan freezes. His heart turns cold in his chest, the thump-thump-thump pounding in every part of his body. The room begins to tilt and while he swears its just in his imagination, he grips the bedsheets and wills himself into the present.Â
Somehow, he croaks out âyeah?â, and is met with Alys practically singing her news.
âIâm pregnant!â
read the rest on ao3
Wylan: This is my boyfriend, Jesper. And this is Jesperâs boyfriend, Kaz. And this is Kaz and Jesperâs girlfriend, Inej. And that is Inejâs girlfriend, Nina. And over there, thatâs Ninaâs boyfriend, Matthias.
I broke this up bc it was getting embarrassingly long, hereâs my thoughts on the crows storylines going into s2, pls be aware i ship every possible iteration of the crows together in a very romantic context, i Will Be referring to Jesper as both Kaz and Inejâs boyfriend, bc he IS DAMMIT.
anyways after all that mal talk and speaking of âclearly in love and coping with it as best he canâ, I think itâs very funny that Jesper looks more like he got caught doing something embarrassing by his crush (bc thatâs exactly what it is) than actually chastised by his boss for straight up abandoning his job to go gamble. he tends to look imo way more embarrassed at Kaz snapping at him in Ketterdam than he does when theyâre out and about, probably bc itâs like âin front of all our friends babe? really?â
Also - jesper abandoning his job to go gamble. oh poor baby. theyâve set it up as like A Problem but itâs sort of quirky funny right now, while not being the butt of the joke either. the joke is more âkaz is annoyed by jesperâs gambling and jesper charmingly brushes it off bc heâs a goofâ but Clearly, jesper gambling away their money instead of just buying coal later on is a problem.
Everyone calls Kaz boss right in front of Perr Haskellâs salad lollllll i know they do this in the book too and i think itâs just as funny
Once again speaking of âdumb bitch trying to hide his crush & failing miserablyâ I love that Inej is having a literal religious experience realizing a sun summoner has been born when Alexie tells them about alina, looks at Kaz in excitement, realizes he hasnât even twitched, and goes back to being excited. Kaz meanwhile, pointedly looks everywhere But at inej until after he notices Inej has stopped staring at him, and THEN he watches her reaction. Just the biggest dumb ass alive.
Also Jesper âapparently iâm a big softieâ Fahey being genuinely distressed when Alexie is killed while once again, Kaz refuses to react.
Jesper evades Inejâs unsaid question about Kaz & Pekka, then immediately asks Kaz âdid pekka recognize youâ so he knows SOMETHING WHY DOES HE KNOW AND WHAT DID KAZ TELL HIM.
related to that but jesper is less obviously in love with Kaz in the show, & seems ok w Kaz bossing him around bc theyâre genuinely friends vs Jesper bitches waaaay more (with good reason) in the books about being Kazâs errand boy - show!Kaz is the boss & still a big bitch, but Kaz trusted Jesper w some truth of his past OR Jesper was there when Something happened, so Jesper lets the bitchiness slide. More even footing, and i think it was a good change, esp as Kaz gets more withdrawn & erratic as Pekkaâs plans start to fail, bc now jesper knows why.
Note that while Kaz is just as much of a bitch to Jesper as in the books, he also just as clearly loves him. âWatch the doorâ âCome along we have a new jobâ all these orders that Jesper follows with only mild complaining, but theyâre *important* jobs that Kaz only trusts Jesper with. Itâs that Kaz only trusts Jesper & Inej to watch his back, but he shows it by being the biggest bitch alive lol.
A lot of the changes to the Crows seem to be an attempt to put Jesper & Inej on slightly more even footing with Kaz. That they could leave (bc Inej has paid off her indenture to him) but choose to stay with him. That they know why he hates Pekka, or more keenly suspect the reason he hates Pekka. What i wonder is if itâs in preparation for the soc/ck storylines, where Kaz gets a lot more reckless, so the writers want him to seem slightly less unlikeable to show only watchers who donât get to peek inside his head & see how much he loves the crows even when heâs being a dink.
OR if itâs a purposeful contrast to the Darklng - both very powerful men who love the color black & are allergic to doing the right thing, but Kaz spends half his story line trying to liberate Inej, trusts Jesper with the truth & needles at both of them, but isnât explicitly forcing either to do something they donât want to do. while the Darklng at every turn further undermines Alinaâs power, and keeps Zoya, Genya, David, & Nina in the dark about his real motivations, & we can SEE already how guilty David, Genya, and Zoya feel about continuing to follow his orders no matter how cruel.
Once Again speaking of dumb ass bitches who canât hide their crush, the way Nina is ready to beat the shit out of Matthias, and even then, powerless, alone, weak, and so clearly just the exact sort of threatening, seductful Grisha the Fjerdans warn against, Matthias is struck by Ninaâs humanity, her point that grisha are never found innocent, her anger in the face of certain doom. they speak one (1) time and heâs like âcool time to forget everything iâve ever been taught so i can be this weird mean ladyâs malewifeâ aksjjdjd
the sequence of the trio with the conductor in the fold is so entertaining, the comedic timing of them all sniping at each other, and jesper walking up to kill the volcra while clutching milo, and the way he closes his eyes and trusts his abilities as a grisha to send the bullet where it needs to go. chefs kiss, no notes.
âiâd rather starve than be a traitorâ is the moment Matthias really starts to understand Nina is just as human as he is, bc sheâs just as stubborn and loyal as he is, but when she spits the bread back in his face is the moment i think he falls in love with her. Loyal, stubborn, and too much for Matthias to even comprehend.
Jesper being delighted by Inejâs acrobat abilities and Inej letting him shoot a gun at her face and Kaz just nopes out of that shit immediately truly the most chaotic throuple.
The deep breathing as Kaz tries to ignore the he pain and walk without a limp & all his pained noises as heâs running around, jumping up into the carriage, etc has me like âhaha i do thatâ aksjs
something something inej always looks to kaz when Something Religious is happening because faith is something she has always shared with the people she loves, but sheâs always met with Kazâs impassive insistence that faith is nothing more than a parlor trick. but still she always looks to him to share her faith. and itâs always there, just underneath - he doesnât feel the need to share those moments bc the only saint heâs ever looked to was Inej & despite himself, heâs eager to share those moments with her, the ones where they fight together and save each other.
Kaz being so shitty with the Darklng bc he realizes how Aleksander has mistreated & isolated Alina is so fucking good. Heâs a criminal but he has like, standards lmao. A straight con is one thing, but Kaz always dislikes rich people being cruel to people theyâre supposed to care about for Rich People Reasons (see: his thinly veiled dislike for Jan even pre-Jan Stealing Inej).
âYouâre loud and youâre lewdâ while staring directly at Ninaâs mouth, get it together Matthias youâre embarrassing yourself akksjs
Kaz moves towards Inej when sheâs injured like he wants to hold her up but immediately stops short & looks anxious, turns to Jesper sort of helplessly, but Jesper is already moving to help Inej, probably picking up quickly that Kaz wonât. And then Kaz just stands there looking like he feels like a shit for not helping her, no Wonder heâs so shitty with Jesper when they get to the Fold, heâs just mad about the whole thing aksjdj like âoh now you like Jes more than me huhâ kaz, inej has always liked Jes more than you bc heâs more likeable
whatâs interesting about kaz the whole season is that he refuses to explicitly tell inej that he will protect her from tante heleen, bc admitting that out loud is admitting a) that he gave up the crow club to protect her already and b) he loves her. so he skirts around it whenever she brings it up, which makes inej suspicious (with good reason - he owns her indenture and it makes their dynamic inherently unbalanced. he wouldnât do it but that doesnât meant he couldnât do it - he has the power to sell her right back into slavery) and she brings this up, only for kaz to continue skirting around the issue. When she outright asks if heâs threatening to sell her, and he once again refuses to give a clear answer, she seems to make the decision to cut her losses & ditch ketterdam. itâs only when facing the fact that she might actually leave him that Kaz finally forces himself to open up to her - and not just open up but meet Inej on her level. Admit Alina is a sun summoner, and share in her feelings of faith, but not of faith in saints and intangible power, faith in her. And Kaz bringing that little bit of wall down convinces her to stay - she will have him without walls or she will not have him at all, and Kaz will always choose to painstakingly confront his trauma over truly losing Inej.
I like how often Matthias, similar to Kaz (and boy would they both hate that comparison lol), dances around his feelings by changing the subject and cutting the tension, and Nina (just like her girl Inej) simply refuses to let him run. I just love the way he tries to end the conversation and Nina straight up tells him no. Wonât let him make a joke about the whalerâs hut. Wonât let him take the easy way out and pretend there isnât something between them. She forces him to admit his feelings, and to find a solution. it goes to shit immediately but the point is just like inej will not take shit from kaz, nina has her limits with matthias. and both men see they are approaching they limit, and back down to meet their girls at the level they need. i love the crows so fucking much.
âi will keep you warmâ MATTHIAS PLEASE. YOU ARE EMBARRASSING YOU ME AND DJEL.
I also love the kerch sailor being like âhey you kefta wearing fuck if u donât think kerch will go to war over a few bucks you are out of your goddamn mindâ and fedyor KNOWS heâs telling the truth akskd
I could write a book about Nina and Matthiasâ final scene, and the Crows final scene, the way all 5 of them have no one in the world but each other, desperate when they walk into Kerch, but certainly not alone.

Poly Crow Headcanons
This a a series of headcanons about the six from the books Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom as a poly relationship.
-Nina, Jesper and Wylan are the cuddly ones, on the off chance Matthias or Inej are willing to cuddle, it basically becomes a giant pile of bodies, with Kaz looking on in amusement.
- Kaz is the most protective. Like he might not be the most affectionate of the six, but he loves them just the same, and will hurt anybody that questions that, or tries to harm one of them.
- The others are also incredibly protective. Not nearly as much, but they are not afraid to hurt you.
- Inej and Matthias can, have, and will sit for hours and talk or debate with each other, sometimes Kaz will sit with them and add his opinions.
- All of them fall asleep against each others shoulders, itâs remarkably common.
Feel free to add on!
Thoughts on Kaz Brekker
Listen, Kaz Brekker is high maintenance AF. Heâs poly AF. Kaz/Inej is a thing and so is Kaz/Jesper/Wylan. He will end anyone who hurts them.
