If you asked Kaz Brekker what home smelled like, perhaps once upon a time he would've given a vague description of the place he and Jordie grew up, a memory so distant even Kaz himself had stopped being able to conceptualize it years ago.

Now, he could answer you with confidence. If you asked Kaz Brekker what home smelled like, his lips would subtly twitch- easily mistakenly as a sense of smugness- and he would tell you, olive oil and smoke. He smells Suli tea and spices, he thinks of her.

When Kaz Brekker thinks of home, he thinks of how perfect she looks when she comes down the stairs of the slat, picking apart her breakfast and licking her fingers clean with the satisfaction that her stomach was full and a man somewhere was dead.

He found he liked that look on her; dangerous, satisfied- content and free.

Her slender fingers gripped her knives with the elegance of matches next to altar candles on the cathedral that was her frame, her scarf akin to draping curtains that fell around her eyes- her irises catching the light like stained glass windows.

His Wraith was silent, and Kaz Brekker, the man who hated to ever be taken off guard, loved her for every time she appeared in his life without warning.

Kaz Brekker could tell you in an instant what he thinks of when he thinks of home, and only need two words: Inej Ghafa.

The "Wylan should learn how to read" thing irks me because a huge part of his arc was learning to accept that this was just something that he couldn't do, and that it can't be fixed and that he shouldn't live in shame over it.

Wylan just can't read. Van Eck tried everything. And true, at one point it would get stressful but Van Eck was a kind father at first. It's not about getting a new teacher, it's just something Wylan can't do.

A big part of his growth was learning to accept that. And Kaz is a big part of this.

Kaz is the first person not to scorn Wylan for his dyslexia. Kaz is the first person to just genuinely not care.

Kaz was the one that told Wylan that his weakness was never his disability but his shame surrounding it. He normalised the disability for Wylan, made it a small deal. It's still a part of Wylan, but not as life shattering as his father had always made it out to be.

It can be inconvenient (taking double the time to read the papers at Smeet's office) but it can be worked around. In fact, I believe taking Wylan to Smeets office was for Wylan's benefit. "I knew how long this was going to take" - dismissing Wylan's shame that Wylan is slowing him down. Reassuring him, in his own way, that it's okay. That it's not that big of a deal. It's not even really a problem.

"I didn't hire you to read." Wylan doesn't need to have the ability to read to get on well in life, despite Van Eck's opinions, and Kaz decides to show Wylan that. He decides so because that's what people said about his limp. That a disabled boy with a bad leg will die in the Barrel.

Kaz could get a healer for his leg, hell, Genya offered. But he declined. Why? Because he refuses to be ashamed. Because this is what he is and he won't change that. "It had become a declaration. There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken."

He becomes a boy to be dreaded despite the limp, no, with it. His cane is his weapon. It's not a weakness, it's also a strength. It's not fear the boy despite the limp it's fear the boy with the limp.

And I believe Kaz was truly one of the most important people in Wylan's life because he did that. He showed Wylan not to be ashamed. That he can be powerful not despite the disability, but with it. That what Wylan can do is more important than what he can't and I don't think Wylan will ever forget that.

#op worded this so beautifully #as a disabled person their dynamic and stories are really important to me

No words, just always thinking about this

[multi-fandom-bi]

Most of the other women in fiction when the love interest is a bad man: its okay, i can fix him. Ill change him <3

Inej Ghafa: no one can change this mf. If he loves me, he'll change himself

The thing I love most about Kaz and Inejs relationship is how they know their worth. Inej knows her worth. She loves Kaz, but she will not offer herself to him without him returning it. She knows he cares for her, but she also knows he won’t touch her. And she’s fine with it, but if he can’t tell her why, then she can’t be with him. “I will have you without your armor, or I won’t have you at all” or smth like that. And Kaz. He knows, or should I say rather, he thinks, he’s not good enough for Inej. But instead of going, oh well I suck I’ll never be good enough for her tough luck I’ll just let her go, or saying I’ll still be with her, she loves me she’ll stay, he says I know I don’t deserve her now, or maybe ever, but I will work. I will fight for this relationship, for our love. I will better myself so that I can be deserving of her. 

And I just love that for them.

had to kanejify this one

One thing about Kaz is that instead of thinking "I don't deserve her" he went "I will work on myself to deserve her" Bro is a simp, not a quitter.

[multi-fandom-bi]

Kaz, clearly angry: I AM IN A BAD MOOD! So NOBODY TALK TO ME!!

Inej, pouting: Even me?

Kaz, confused: What? No. Obviously, YOU can talk to me.

Kaz, angry again: BUT NOBODY ELSE! I MEAN IT! LEAVE ME ALONE!

Kaz, softly to Inej: To reiterate, this does not apply to you.

[multi-fandom-bi]

concept: slavers or enemy pirates kidsnap kaz and intend to use him as leverage against inej. of course they took precautions but even then, when kaz isn't fighting back and just sits there with a small smirk on his face, they're all convinced dirtyhands is plotting his escape.

in reality though, he is in fact thinking "oooh when my wife gets here you guys are so screwed"

[multi-fandom-bi]

I know for a fact that when Inej does something, literally anything Kaz would say “That’s my girl” either to himself in his mind or silently.

Now imagine when they start being more comfortable with each other and opening up more sjxjejx

You know what I truly LOVE about Kaz Brekker?

He likes being disabled. He’s not ashamed of it. He has a chance to get rid of it and says no. He’s proud of his limp.

There’s no angst around being a cripple. No telling Inej he’s less of a man because he uses a cane. He hates so many parts of himself, but not his limp.

I just wish there were more stories where disabled people were happy with their disabilities. I wouldn’t trade mine for the world.

#as a disabled person this fact i very dear to me #kaz out here being the best role model for disabled children #the best portriail of a phisically disabled person ever

People say fantasy characters don't exist but that's not true.

I feel Inej's wrath when men think they are superior to me and try to choke my words. I feel her when my words cut through these men like one of her knives.

I feel Nina's love when I look in the mirror and hate myself. I feel her on days when I can't bother trying. I feel her in my blood when I have to raise myself from the dead and care for myself.

I feel Alina's sun shine through me and bathe others. When my friends have a bad day, they come to me seeking my light. I feel Alina in my soul, trying to calm them.

I feel Zoya's power when people call me bossy. When they think I shouldn't be the one leading them. I feel Zoya's crown sit heavily on my head, whispering in my ear that I can do it.

I feel Genya's confidence when I don't see the point in life. I see her standing beside me, telling me her stories of bravery and courage and reminding me to keep going.
