Home was three boys and one girl. And now, a wolf.
-

To be outside with your hand on the glass by whynotcherries
"Every time that he catches a cold, it’s always the plague, at first. It’s never just sniffles from the dry weather, or a sore throat because of a minor illness, or even a headache from the air pressure. It’s always, always the plague.
This time, he’s not in Ketterdam. This time, he’s in Lij, on his farm with Inej."
Or, Kaz catches a cold, but memories of the plague make it so much worse.

can you make a list where jordie survived but kaz doesn't know? (the two reuniting, jordie reacting to how kaz has changed)
yeah, sure! i was only able to find a couple that fit this specific prompt, but i still hope you like them!
Once Bitten, Twice Shy by Another_Local_Dreamer
The last thing Kaz Brekker had expected to see when he opened the door to his office in the Slat was his dead brother standing on his threshold. Anika stood off to the side of the landing, lightly cringing, obviously waiting for the wrath of Dirtyhands to rain down on her for bringing him a visitor he had neither expected nor vetted.
Jordie Rietveld stood in the doorway panting lightly from exertion, nervousness oozing from every pore in his body, but with his back ramrod straight. “I need your help,” he said.
Kaz was tempted to slam the door in his face and lay down in his bed to sleep off whatever hallucinogenic concoction the Black Tips had managed to slip into his coffee that morning. Maybe Jesper had a point about him needing to catch more sleep.
...
Or, the one where the rumors of Jordie Rietveld's death have only been somewhat exaggerated.

Returned by MaryaDmitrievnaLikesSundays
Every muscle in Inej’s body froze. Suddenly, the ceaseless noise of the crowd fell into silence around her. It was all she could do to keep her feet planted on the wet floorboards of the harbor. Her eyes flitted listlessly around the face of the man before her—his nose was softer, but still just as straight as the one that Inej saw every day in Ketterdam. His hair was a shade or two lighter, but it fell in the same pin-straight sheet that Inej knew. His eyes were more hooded, brighter with hope, but Inej knew damn well who else those eyes belonged to. The faintest of firepox scars traced his jawline, disappearing beneath his collar.
”Jordie,” she breathed.
——
On the Wraith, Inej comes across someone that Kaz had lost forever. And for better or for worse, she brings him back.

who is the lamb and who is the knife by OceanEyes1n
“I’ll take the parem.”
His voice echoed loudly in the small space, and five heads snapped toward him in unison.
He swallowed hard, looking straight at Nina and ignoring the pair of dark eyes burning straight through the side of his head. “Give it to me.”
Or, Kaz confronts Jesper over his betrayal and Jesper makes a hasty decision.

Blind faith by softblakegremlin & va_lentina
Nina Zenik is a bad feminist. And when she finds out that the huge man sitting next to her at the restaurant is a priest, she also becomes convinced that she’s just a bad human being all around, with zero respect for religious institutions, given the way she’s picturing Father Matthias with the clerical collar.
or: the Helnik Fleabag AU that caused us permanent brain damage as we wrote it
[no need to have extensive Fleabag knowledge to read or understand this fic]

Birds of a feather by Appretiartis
“Kaz said if I proved myself I could join the Dregs when I was ready. And I did. But I didn’t take the tattoo.”
Nina’s brows rose. “I didn’t think it was optional.”
“Technically it isn’t. I know some people don’t understand, but Kaz told me… he said it was my choice, that he wouldn’t be the one to mark me again.”
or
A look at how Kaz got his crow and cup, and why Inej didn't get hers.

Give me love, I'll put my heart in it by whynotcherries
"What he’s feeling is not mushy and soft. It’s like being caught in a ship during a storm--a nice storm, but still a storm--and he’d hardly describe that feeling as soft."
Or, Kaz trying to show Inej that he loves her. It's much harder than he'd hoped it would be.

Have Another Drink (No One's Counting) by Silverstar1
“Guess what?” Wylan asked.
Jesper sucked in a breath. “What?”
“I love you.”
“How drunk are you right now?” Jesper caught Nina’s eye. “How drunk is he right now?”
Or: Wylan is a light weight. This surprises absolutely no one other than Jesper, who is suddenly faced with a clingy, very affectionate, unofficial they-should-really-have-that-talk maybe-boyfriend.
