#Crooked kingdom

[the-witch-of-woods-beyond]

sometimes it hurts me to remember that's s2 of s&b completely disregarded inej’s arc. because her biggest fear wasn’t that kaz and her couldn’t fall in love or touch - it was that she was afraid to become useless to him, afraid of what her parents would think of her, of what she though of herself, of what she wanted. and then they just wrote her off on somebody else’s ship when kaz was the one who bought that ship for her, the ship that she was captain off, that she used to hunt slavers so nobody would be hurt like she was right after kaz reunited her with her parents.

Kaz, about the Ice Court Heist: So, that’s the plan. We all live to fight another day

Inej: Or, it’s a suicide mission

Jesper: Yeah it sounds like we’re gonna die

Matthias: This is suicide

Kaz: Ah, it’s only suicide if we die!

The Crows as Things My Partner Has Said (Pt 1)

Nina: “You’ve got to stop looking in my eyes so much, my boobs are down here”

Matthias: “Pre-marital eye contact??? Ocular fornication??”

Kaz: “I know this is what makes me sexually attractive: my ability to solve rubix cubes” 

Jesper: “Oh it’s a hit list alright, I’m about to hit that, if you know what I mean”

Kaz again: “My options are either say something inappropriate or say something offensive. Would you rather I have picked something offensive?”

(They never say anything that would fit Wylan or Inej smh)

Kaz: I would literally use you as a human shield to protect Inej

I’ve been thinking about this quote a lot lately:

“But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. That was how you survived when you weren’t chosen, when there was no royal blood in your veins. When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.” — Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

I have nothing profound to say about it, I’ve just been thinking about it.

makes me feral to remember that inej ghafa got her happy ending by reuniting with her parents and getting her own ship to enact her justice to make sure no one was ever hurt like she was again. and then it cuts to the epilogue where pekka rollins - who was gaslit into believing his son had been buried alive by kaz brekker - has his heart almost cut out by her as she threatens him to never come back to ketterdam.

Kanej Headcanons - Touch

They might not be the physically intimate, can’t-keep-their-hands-off-eachother type of couple but the intimacy they can find in the smallest of acts like a brush against the neck or a caress of the hand cannot be put to words. They’re both so in love with each other it makes me sick.

Kaz loves holding onto Inej’s hand, he loves how warm and how alive she feels. By now he’s memorized every vein, line and callous on her hand, to the point where he knows the back of her hand better than his own. Inej likes how gentle, almost reverent he is with her, and the way he caresses her hand with his thumb.

Similarly, Inej loves holding onto  Kaz’s hands, the hands she’d spent so long admiring in their scarred, unnatural paleness from being in his gloves so much. She likes how it makes her feel in control; The control that she’d never had in her days in the Menagerie. Kaz finds the way she holds onto his hand and intertwined their fingers together comforting. He still gets chill everytime, in the good way (most of the time, at least).

It’s comforting for the both of them, they like rubbing the other’s hand with their thumb while they’re holding onto it and on days where holding hands is too much for them, they make do with linking their pinkies together.

And there are still days where its too much, days where Kaz can’t tell the feel of a living body from that of a dead one, and days where Inej can’t tell the touch of the boy she loves from that of a customer at the Menagerie.

They understand this, and respect it. They have memorized each other’s tells, whether it be the way Kaz freezes up at the slightest brush against his hand or how Inej flinches and sighs when she’s held, even if she tries to hide it. But, they try to push past their traumas together nonetheless. It has worked too, compared to when they started.

Still, when it does become overwhelming they both know to let go and give each other the space; Coming to terms with this fact alone makes them feel so much safer and more comfortable with physical contact. They’re both helping each other heal and recover from their respective traumas, and its beautiful.

That being said, they are still just kids in love.

Kaz is still utterly entranced by Inej. He stops to stare more often than he’d like to admit and tries to play it off when she catches him. She can see through it of course, that armour means nothing to her now.

Not that she’s any better either mind you, you’d think after all they’ve been through and seen, and how often they hold hands, she’d be used to the sight of Kaz’s bare hands. She isn’t, and still turns red whenever he takes his gloves off. Kaz still hasn’t noticed, clueless as he is but Inej is convinced that he does it on purpose.

Sleeping together in one bed is difficult, not that they haven’t tried. The amount of physical contact can get too much, too many nights Kaz has woken up in a cold sweat, shaking from nightmares about the Reaper Barge, and too often has Inej nearly stabbed Kaz after nightmares about the Menagerie. 

The solution? Separate beds.

They keep two beds next to each other separated by a small distance, that way they’re still close without quite touching. They still hold hands or link pinkies between the beds though it helps them sleep.

And on the days where they both can handle it, they push the beds together. It might take them a while before they’re comfortable enough to cuddle, but just the warmth and proximity is enough for the both of them for now.

Oh and Kaz absolutely does Inej’s hair.

It was therapeutic once they realised that its easier for the both of them when he touches hair rather than her skin. She finds it relaxing, and he is enchanted by her hair. She taught him how to oil it, brush it and braid it, and its almost a nightly or every-other-nightly ritual for them, Inej sitting there while Kaz does her hair. 

I do think that they would eventually become comfortable enough to move on to more intimate things, but that would probably take a long, long time.

Grishaverse textposts I made based on things my friends and I have actually said. In real life

Part 24 (??)

Jesper: My life is held together with sticky tape

Kaz: I never sleep and yet I sleep far too much

Kaz: Philosophers in Greece would’ve talked about me

Nina, in Fjerda: *sends outfit photo*

Jesper, over text: like it slayed but you do look like you never let your kids eat candy and bake three loaves of bread a day

Jesper, over text: with love 🫶

Wylan: He makes such a big deal out of my mistakes, it’s like he has a problem specifically with me

Inej: You should report him

Kaz: You should report- actually, you know what? Just kill him

Everyone: *shocked laughter*

*playing cards*

Jesper: You won the first game and I won the second, so it’s a draw. We’ll have to fight to the death

Wylan: You know there is this thing called a decider match. Maybe slightly less dramatic than fighting to the death, but

Jesper: We can do that then, I guess

Wylan: You guess

Jesper: I guess
