So apparently I decided to write fluff after a long long time and I'm quite proud of myself for that! :)
Masterlist
Romantic Diversions
Ship: Kaider
Words: 925
Genre: Fluff
Kai's Perspective:
Dhsam!
The door was opened with a loud bang which caused Kai to stir from his work. This uninvited disturbance gave rise to subtle anger and he was ready to pounce on the individual who had decided to barge in his cabin in such a dramatic fashion. 
Regardless, he didn't do any of that since the person who was standing at the door was his own wife. He smiled at her sight, expecting the generic 'Did I disturb you?' from her but she had more surprising cards up her sleeves today. Her theatrical entry just led to an even bigger bouncy voice. 
"I can't believe you did that?!" she cried as she pulled a seat before him. That phrase left him more baffled than ever. Cinder wasn't the one for dramatic flair if truth be told- he was the theatre kid out of the two. 
"What did I do?" he questioned, the file he was working on completely forgotten. 
"Look," she said as she passed the tablet to him. Kai was really curious about what he had done that had got Cinder so excited so he looked into the screen without asking any further questions. 
The screen played a video: 
"Your Majesty, would you like to say anything about the lack of apprehension-" some reporter asked before being interrupted by another.
Kai was not expecting to be chased by a mass of reporters as he flew back home. Alas, he was having a press conference in the airport parking lot right now and he definitely wasn't prepared for this one. 
"Goodness, is that Dr Alan Coetze I see there," he exclaimed- seeing the familiar face of the scientist who talked in a language Kai wasn't quite fluent in. Cinder used to love watching his shows and Kai had seen them from time to time too.
"My wife, the Empress is a big fan of Dr Coetze. You would have to excuse me. I need to have his autograph. My wife would be sorely disappointed if I let down this chance," he explained as he tried making his way towards his saviour. 
The press seemed taken aback by his words, having a hard time believing that it was the Emperor gushing about a European scientist who had just won the Nobel Peace Prize for his thesis. 
"But you are the Emperor, Your Majesty-" someone argued, trying to put sense in him. 
"So what? You don't have any idea how inconsiderate intelligent people are towards royalty," he noted. His arguments made little sense but he needed an escapade and this crazily intelligent man that was standing a few yards from him was going to give him exactly that. 
"Your Majesty, you don't- " 
"I understand it's your work but you do have to be a little understanding about my situation too. My anniversary is getting closer and what better gift than the autograph of Dr Alan Coetze. You would have to excuse me for now. However I promise you, there will be a press conference in New Beijing and I look forward to seeing you all there." 
..
"Oh goodness!" Kai laughed and looked up, his wife's contagious smile made him smile more. 
"I can't believe you said it!" she gushed again. 
"Well, I had a flight to attend and the press wasn't going anywhere. I had to make some diversions," he elaborated, passing the tablet back to her. If he knew anything, he was sure this news was everywhere by now. 
"You're telling me the world's best diplomat needed a romantic diversion?"
"You're never gonna let this one go, are you?" he asked, knowing very well the answer to that question, instead he focused on signing the bottom of the page. 
"That isn't going to be the problem. Next press conference everyone is going to talk about this and this only," she pointed out, forgetting to mention that she too was going to make multiple jokes at his expense. 
He glanced at her, thinking how if these small diversions were what made her smile ear to ear then Kai would be likely to commit more of them every now and then. 
"Nothing that a small 'I love my wife' can't suffice." 
"Which reminds me - you said 'my wife' so many times throughout the entire thing." 
"I have a lovely wife. You can't forbid me from bringing her up all the damn time," he said. 
"Stars, I can't believe you," she continued to say, glancing back at the video before whispering, "I love my wonderful husband too." 
"Shh, don't let my wife hear about this. She gets quite protective," he smirked, throwing a wink in her direction. 
That made her chuckle again as she leaned over the desk to whisper in his ear, "Where's my autograph, Your Majesty?"
He tipped to stare into her brown orbs and replied, "I think I said it was an anniversary gift."
Before closing the inches between the two, he murmured, "Wait your time kitten." Cinder captured his lips with hers, her hands holding the back of his neck. One of his hands spread across her cheek, as he deepened the -
Tring! Tring!
The kiss was cut short by the comm that rang through Cinder's tablet and both of them groaned over it. 
"I'd see you at dinner," Cinder said, getting up from her seat. She was almost out of the door when she looked over her shoulder and announced, "I better have an autograph." 
Kai chuckled at the demand and had a delighted feeling for having met the scientist that day.
--
A/N: Wrote this because I have got myself fixated on this power celebrity couple and they had a fun banter on the media and I couldn't help but imagine it for Kai and Cinder. It seems a lil unrelaistic but it's mostly the modern day alteration of the royalty and media. Hope you like it! <333

tag game: (9) people you'd like to get to know better
Thanks for tagging me, @the-sun-and-the-sea! It's been so long since I did one of these, but I do enjoy them.
1. last song: The Last Dance, by St. Paul & the Broken Bones. It's an apocalyptic dance groove, just like it claims to be. 10/10.
2. currently watching: The new PJO series! Haven't seen the newest episode because I'm watching it with family, but it has been intriguing so far. I also JUST finished yet another run of Sense8 with my Copenhagen roomies, which was AMAZING.
3. three ships: This is extra hard right now, fuck. I have been so out of fandom for the last few months I need some fires re-kindled. But of course, Everlark and Kanej are up there... maybe I'll be That Guy and pick Cato and Caerwyn from my own fic for my third. I'm feeling self-indulgent, and for reasons a bit messy to get into, they've been on my mind a lot recently. So, yeah.
4. favourite colour: As usual, I have been super into chartreuse of late. But like a nice, dark, forest green has also been a vibe. Maybe just green?
5. currently consuming: Tea! And Swedish Berries!
6. first ship: It's gotta be Everlark. I don't really remember getting invested in a ship before THG. Those kids set the bar, that's for sure 🧡💚
7. relationship status: In a relationship.
8. last movie: I cannot remember for sure, but I think Gone Girl. I know I'm so so behind on this train but it was so good. It's always amazing when a movie does its book justice, and WOW.
9. currently working on: Too much, but what else is new. The next chapter of IMKM is always in the works, and I'm picking away at the sequel to The Last Songbird and the mini fic-series I want to build around Only One Reasonable Plea. But I haven't gotten to write in so long! Can't wait to do more in the new year 😊
Thanks again for the tag! I will tag @im-doing-hot-girl-shit, @totchipanda, @rivkah94, @just2bubbly, @clumsyyhearts, @katnissdoesnotfollowback, and anyone else who wants to share!

hey so like you have a lot of hinny recs and i read this fic a really long time ago and obv don't know it's name- so i was thinking if you have read it and like probably know it?
It is found on fanfiction.net
It was a very long mutli- chapter fic with pairing of Harry/Ginny and I’m not sure about the tropes here but it was major angst and post break up fic
I will summarize it for you as good as I remember: So it’s like Ginny and Harry break up post war, Harry goes to USA and Ginny is a quidditch player and she is unexpectedly (idk the name for the fanfic but I remeber exactly how it starts like she is making blueberry muffins ig and she has made a lot of it apparently and she just realizes she is pregnant) and well abortion is on the chart but she meets some healer and healer is healer and she denies and the father of the foetus is like on board with abortion and Ginny leaves him, meets Luna and Luna like shifts her to some town which is pretend haunted to keep people away from it- Luna is from the same town and she had convinced Harry to do the same but Ginny doesn’t know about i- Harry finds Ginny in the rain or smth and well its awkward and there’s a hell lot of reconcialtion, much later in the story and Harry sells Ginny his land in the town for like 2 sickle or smth and well they do get together later and it’s like a long charade where Ginny is awarded some prize and later also poisoned and she doesn’t tell anyone she is pregnant and loses some part of memory and she names here first child James for not really obv reason and well this is all i can remember!!
idk if you have read it or not but like if you have and can probably help me find its name- then it would be a miracle!! <3 thank you sm!! :))
AND I READ YOUR HINNY FICS- I'M IN LOVE WITH THEM AND YOUR WRITING <333
Hello! Thank you so much for your kind words about my fics and stories! ♥️
The fic you are looking for Foolish by Tonksaholic! I certainly have read a bunch of Harry/Ginny stories, but at first I didn't think I would recognize the story you were requesting help with until you hit it "Luna...same town" and it came crashing back. As you said, incredibly heavy on the angst, post-war breakup. I'm glad I could help!

Hey lovely!..your tlc fics are so great-loved them! just wondering if you are ever going to update the fic- The Most Magical Place anytime soon?
Hi lovely!!! Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoy my fics <33
As for updating TMMP, I would love to in the future, and it's not discontinued or anything, but it's fairly low on my list of fic priorities at the moment. Still, knowing that you enjoy it and want to see more really means a lot to me, and I promise I'll think about updating it hopefully soon!

lina i am BEGGING give us the son in law kaz fic please i need it in my life
i am so, so sorry this took so long! but the son in law fic you asked for is finally here and i loved writing it <333 this fic is based on this post by @clumsyyhearts, so thank you for having excellent ideas!
when is a monster not a monster?
i.
The first time Kaz Brekker heard the names Ioana and Lucijan, it was in a letter from a king.
Dear Mr Brekker, it began.
I got your letter yesterday, and I have to say, you have spectacular handwriting. Let's keep the threats and blackmail to a minimum for now, though - Ravka would be happy to assist you in reuniting two of our citizens with their child. We owe you one, anyway.
A quick look at our records show that Ioana and Lucijan Ghafa are the people you're looking for. Well, I'm assuming they are, considering they filed a missing person's report a few years ago. It seems they never stopped looking for their daughter.
I've sent a letter to be personally delivered to them by a lovely soldier from the First Army. He's a real charmer, so I'm sure they'll get in touch quickly. As soon as I know more, I'll let you know.
Please don't get killed before you can reply,
Nikolai Lantsov.
"What's that?" Inej asks from the windowsill, tossing crumbs to her birds. "Looks like the royal Ravkan seal."
"Nothing," Kaz replies, folding it up quickly and slipping it into his inside jacket pocket. "A friend owes me a favour, that's all."
Inej raises her eyebrows, but Kaz can't tell if it's because she's impressed or she can see through his lie.
"Did I tell you that I caught Madelyn skimming yesterday?" she says instead, and Kaz sighs.
"How much?" he responds, and the letter is quickly forgotten.
ii.
The first time Kaz sees Inej's parents is from a distance, when they see their daughter for the first time in three years.
Inej bounds down the hill to greet them, that huge grin that Kaz loves so much on her face, but he stays where he is. He doesn't want to intrude on their moment, of course, but if he's being honest, he's a little scared.
What would the Ghafas think of the man who had corrupted their child? What would they say when they found out that he had put a knife in her hand?
He doesn't want to know.
From his vantage point above the docks, he watches as Inej runs up to her parents. Her mother steps forwards, placing her hands on Inej’s shoulders for a moment before pulling her into a tight hug.
Kaz can’t help but smile to himself. A small part of him wasn’t sure whether he could bring himself to give Inej this gift - it would have been cruel to deny her, he knows that, but he doesn’t want to lose her already. He’s only known her for a few years, but she is already the best thing in Kaz’s life, and he isn’t known for giving up easily.
It’s not giving up, he reminds himself firmly as he watches the three of them. Giving someone their freedom is never giving up. Not when they deserve it.
Sure, he’s given Inej both a reason and a means of leaving, and he doesn’t want her to go. But Kaz Brekker is anything but stupid, and he knows his Wraith well enough to know that when she has her heart set on something, nothing and no one can stop her.
Just as he moves to leave, the three figures on the docks turn to him. Inej points him out before waving happily. He raises his hand in acknowledgement before turning back to the city, not wanting to taint their happy memory.
For the entire walk back to the Slat, though, all he can think of is the smile on Inej’s face. Happiness is in short supply in Ketterdam, but her grin never fails to light up a room, and Kaz finds his heart a little lighter than it was this morning.
Read the rest on AO3.
tag list under the cut!

Linh Peony as a Fan Fiction Writer
—————
[SPOILERS FOR THE LUNAR CHRONICLES]
i headcanon peony as a fic writer and she definitely had a blog dedicated to writing kai x reader fics and iko probably read them all:
• iko 100% brainstormed for fic ideas and peony always went ahead to write them. just…iko and peony geeking over kai x reader fics
• peony once wrote a prince kai x cyborg!reader and made cinder read it to try and get cinder on the fandom :))
• pearl was def not impressed, more so when peony made an oc named perla and made that oc the bad person in her fics (she was careful to not let pearl find out so peony made a new account)
• PEONY IS OUR BELOVED FANGIRL QUEEN.
• ok about the cyborg!reader: peony wrote that kai met the reader in a store booth
• “what if the reader — not cinder — hypothetically met prince kai in a store booth?”
• which made peony ship cinder and kai a bit more when cinder said she met kai :))
• i don’t wanna imagine peony as the one who ‘gets in their way’ so if she lived and met the rest of the crew, she — along with iko and thorne — would start a blog dedicated to kaider and make daily updates in it <3
• i think she’d be a bit jealous at first but as she got older she’d just laugh it off? i mean, she was fourteen and kai was eighteen so
• SO YEAH PEONY BEING A FANFIC WRITER.

Worrisome Mornings
Masterlist
Well, it seems I did manage to convince myself to write warnette fic: cuz why not? This one isn't necessarily about the two but it indulged me and wish it works for the same for you. Inspiration for this comes out of this post.
Book: Shatter Me
Words: 1k
Pairing: None
With Warner unable to be contacted in the morning of chapter 56, Delalileu worries himself with reasons. None that matches when he learns the actual cause.
Delalieu's POV:
Delalieu almost did have an aneurysm. 
He was promptly waiting for the Commander to show up at his usual time to discuss the doings of the day. With Commander Warner harbouring enemies of the state in his personal quarters, the stability and agenda that had been maintained since his appointment had been disrupted. Delalieu himself had overseen a part of this mission that could cost him his life at the least.
He wasn't sure why he had always been so willing to sacrifice his life and work for members of Anderson family. Many a time he had been on the wrong side of power, a young man lost in the sense of manifestation. Perhaps he still was on the wrong side of power while he had seen much, he had lost more. 
This way of devotion towards Commander Warner, his grandchild was his way of asking forgiveness to his daughter, Leila. Forgiveness, he would never deserve. He had seen the crimes committed by his own against his own and he had silently let them happen, overseen them at times without questioning the morality and insanity of it. 
Delalieu was a man lacking in courage when it came down to crossing the lines of duty and relation, in situations when it was a need to put his blood first he had failed to do so. 
It had taken multiple years to gain Warner's trust. An odd sort of bond that goes nowhere- there's respect between the two, born completely out of sincerity and years of seeing each other. What relation he had with Commander Warner could be carried with any other Lieutenant had Paris decided to appoint another. 
"Family should be close," Paris had said, smiling wickedly to him the day he had been appointed. 
Here at Sector 45, he worked both for the Commander and the Supreme, not letting his interactions with either mix. Delalieu was that tie between the two that secured that they were far more isolated than nearer. 
Pulling himself away from his thought he glanced at the huge wall clock.
7:14.
The Commander was late by 14 minutes. If experience and memory served him right, Commander Warner was never late- not on a sick day, not when he was shot in his arms, not when Miss Ferrars was dying. Aaron Warner was a punctual man that valued his time more than people. Seeing how he had been running late for over 16 minutes now seemed to surprise him beyond his wits.
He diligently decided to wait before jumping to conclusions about the Commander's whereabouts. Patiently waiting for further 10 minutes before he decided to give in to his unease.
Delalieu called for his office, assuming that the Commander had decided to spend his morning drawing plans for the aftermath of this rebellion. No one answered the phone, as his request was met with an automated attendant. He pinches his head in worry trying to find a single reason why Warner couldn't be contacted.  
Trying to calm his nervous tick, he searched for the boy on the base surveillance. Nothing. He needed to check whether Warner was out to his house in the sector like he preferred disappearing to. Alone. To keep an eye on correspondence and locals. When his search came back with no signs, he rang the operators instead.
"Where was the Chief Commander last seen ?" He asked masking his worries with an emotionless tone. 
"Last night entering his quarters." 
"Time?" 
"2050." 
"Any activity outside his quarter?" 
"None noticed, sir."
 "Any tanks put off from surveillance? Lost signal with any soldiers?" He asked not wanting to give away any matters for the soldiers to divulge in.
"None, sir. "
He hung up on the phone and sprang out of the door within seconds.
The time read 7:48 am.
Last sighted in his quarters which did not have any cameras as per his request and command. Delalieu knew it was stupid and naive to give in to the demands of a 19-year-old boy and foregoing protocol. With no surveillance inside the ward, Delalieu had no way of knowing what harm Warmer might have undergone. 
Warner was housing revolutionaries on the base, a floor away from his quarters. Castle and his band of refugees were too deep in grief to be hosted as allies. One never knew when feelings of revenge came to the surface. Them living a floor below him gave them a perfect opportunity to do away with his cruelty for once. Delalieu berated himself for not trying to talk the boy out of his decision.
Stupid mistakes taken out of desire. Aaron was doing so much to save the girl's life only for her and her refugee of friends to take advantage of his kindness. Delalieu reminded himself that Aaron was more than capable to take care of himself but when it came down to the girl, Juliette Ferrars he failed to meet his own assessment. Love bedazzled him, like always the girl made him forget everything else. Made him do things he won't do for anyone. Ella always blinded him. 
He had walked on gun ready, his card swiped in to let him enter. His mind was numb with scenarios he might come across and his body operating purely on adrenaline and years of practice. 
He stepped inside the room. Only to see a sight be hadn't quite expected- clothes were strewn around everywhere. It took him about ten seconds to register the scene and now his mind was buzzing with the need to be out of the room, eyes wide in horror and cheeks flushed with humiliation. He quickly stepped back into the elevator, pressing the button to move down to his floor. As the elevator doors closed on him he had unintentionally glimpsed enough to confirm his suspicions. The two sprawled on the bed. Huddled over each other. 
Back in the safety of his own office, he sighed. Not so much out of relief. There was so much past to uncover for the two.
__
A/N: Hope it wasn't much disappointing. I just wanted to write someting new and my old wips have haunted me for months and I wrote this down in a day instead. Taking asks for warnette now if you all can be so kind as to send them.
No taglish cuz don't know mutuals that are into this book. Do mention if you want to be tagged in future works.

Do you have any tlc fanfic recommendations? Preferably on Ao3
You've come to the right place. Now apologies in advance, a lot of these are Kaider centric because Kaider has taken over tlc fanfiction and burnt everything else in its wake...Not really, but there's a lot more fic for it than the other ships.
Long fics:
lovelunarchron has multiple longer fics with a range of ships, some AU's and others in canon but mostly canon divergent.
@salt-warrior has great longer fics such as Unsinkable for Jacinter (angst beware) and some shorter series like More Than Friends and A Hopeful Wish, plus many cute oneshots (all kaider).
Slow Dancing in the Dark isn't completed but still cute kaider!
One-shots:
@midnightsnapdragon has great one-shots, some kaider, some cresswell, some everything. In particular, I love when life gives you lemons... and speak now or forever hold your peace
Nicole Writes! All AU's and all amazing! Against the clock is ahhhhhhhhh!
@kaider-is-my-otp loves one-shots.
CanvasConstellations short and sweet mostly cresswell
Human and Somewhere Over the Rainbow are great kaider by @princessselene126. She also has wolflet and some all crew stuff.
Losing You Was Blue by @everyone-has-a-nightmare is an absolute fav—married Kaider and slight angst
This is fanfic.net (lame, i know), but The Princess' Vow is excellent.
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention @gingerale2017 @just2bubbly @cindersassasin and @shellyseashell.
This is obviously just a start! I shall update it as I discover or remember more. Shout-out to Verified fanfic expert @cosmicnovaflare for suggestions. Feel free to reblog with your own recommendations peeps!
edit: I've been told I need to include myself. I have fics on tumblr and ao3.

Welcome to my first ever fic! I have another one in the works as well but currently neither of them have a title because title's are hard, so for simplicity's sake this one is Kanej themed and when I share the other one I'll refer to it as Helnik themed.
Concept: Around ten years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, 25-year-old Captain Inej Ghafa frees Maya Olsen from a pleasure house in Ketterdam. Maya is looking for revenge against the man who out her in her position, a man who she knows nothing about except his name: Kaz Brekker.
Tags: @wraith--2 @lunarthecorvus @just2bubbly @real-fragments7
I've only tagged people who specifically said they'd like to read more, not everyone who expressed general interest, but if you'd like to be added to the list let me know! <3
Content Warnings: in more general terms I want to remind people to be aware of the nature of Kaz and Inej's experiences and relationship since even if I'm not directly addressing these things they tend to be implicit in any writing about them, but specifically to this chapter there's descriptions of blood/wounds, and implied sa references (not graphic).
Chapter One - Kaz
"Now listen," Kaz leaned back and ran a gloved hand through his hair, vaguely aware of the traces of blood he was leaving on his forehead, "this has been fun and all, but I promised my wife I'd be home in time for supper,"
He consulted his pocket watch and frowned.
"And I'm already running late,"
It was clear that the man tied to Kaz's chair had no idea what to say. Or maybe he just couldn't. His cheek was a bloody crater; his jaw tight at a painful looking angle. Kaz paused for a moment to survey his half-closed eyes, wondering if he'd done the job too well. But the man was still breathing his pathetic, shaky breaths, and his eyelids were quivering slightly. Kaz hit the chair leg with his crow's head cane, and the man shook back to life.
"Are we done here?"
The man nodded shakily, quivering as he leaned as far from Kaz as his chains would allow.
"Good. Then I'll see you next week, with the money," Kaz pulled a key from thin air and placed it on the man's knee, "Have fun getting out,"
He walked away, listening to the man attempt to call him back through a mouthful of blood right up until the door slammed shut. Kaz stretched, smiled, rolled his shoulders. That had gone well. He was late though - she wouldn't be happy. Speaking of which, Annika was leaning against the wall opposite him, picking at her nails with a knife. She must have news.
"Go check on him if he's not out in an hour. Cleanly, for now, but keep an eye on him. If he tries to run this week, put a bullet in his skull,"
"Why me?"
"You're in my line of sight. And on that, what are you doing here? Aren't you meant to be at the Crow Club?"
"Just came off a shift. Brought you a message,"
Kaz nodded.
"She's back?"
"And pissed at you," Annika confirmed, "She's coming to find you,"
Kaz was meant to go to her. If she'd decided to come to him, it could only mean one thing: he was in deeper shit than running late.
"Fine," he said, and marched upstairs.
" - something else!" Annika called after him.
Kaz turned.
"Yennefer Baars is dead,"
"Then it's a happy day for everyone. Except for me, because unlike other people's spouses when my wife suggests murder, she actually means it. Go to the dock's and rustle us up some attention, the Silver Six is quiet,"
And with that, ignoring Annika's brief mumble of protest, Kaz began to head up the stairs. Yennefer Baars was dead. So that's what Inej had been up to. She'd been gone for the last month, and as a rule they didn't tell each other what a job was until it was over - no sense in worrying each other over nothing. But that didn't mean they didn't guess at what the other was up to, and usually figure it out. Kaz knew that Inej wrote a goodbye note before every job she did and left it with a particular member of the Merchant Council and his risk-loving fiancé, to be passed on in case something went wrong. He only knew that because he did the same thing, and Jesper was a terrible liar. Inej was better at figuring out what he was up to than he was her, that was true, but usually he had some idea. This time he'd heard nothing, until today. Yennefer Baars, owner and proprietor of the Tulip Mill, the most successful pleasure house in Ketterdam since the Menagerie close, was dead. Kaz had to smile.
Even if he was next on Inej's list. What the hell had he done this time?
It was raining, but what else was new? Kaz opened the window and listened to the droplets flowing over the pane and hitting the sill like a waterfall. He couldn't hear Inej, but he wouldn't be able to. Definitely not over the wind and rain. He left the window open for her, and headed to the basin. He shed his gloves and began to wash the blood off before it dried. Running hot water. Years ago he'd added this, with the bathroom of their suite at the Geldrenner on this mind. It was such a luxury, back then. So normal now.
"Inej,"
He smiled to himself as he imagined the brief look of annoyance on her face at him greeting her just as she opened her mouth to do the same.
"Kaz,"
He turned to see her, and immediately Annika's message was unimportant. It was good to see her. She smiled.
"How are things, Kaz? I heard the Silver Six has been quiet,"
Of course she had.
"A little slower than usual, but the Crow Club's booming. I've got time to fix it before the profit's take a hit,"
Inej nodded. A moment passed in silence, before she said:
"Maya Olsen,"
"What of her?"
"You know her then?"
Kaz shrugged.
"One of Yen's girls, isn't she? The Tidemaker. Never met her, but she passes information to the Dregs. I have a few people watching her, making sure the information's good and trying to find out where she gets it. Why?"
"I met her tonight,"
"You mean when you killed Yennefer Baars?"
They looked at each other, dark eyes stone. And then both their hard expressions collapsed, and they smiled.
"It's good to be home, Kaz,"
He liked it when she said 'home'. Really, he knew, 'home' was Ravka. But the Suli travelled the country, never static, never anywhere long enough for that one solitary place to be the only singular point they'd always want to return to. That was too limiting for Inej; she existed to explore. To her, 'home' really meant 'family'. It had taken the last ten years to get here, but he'd come to like that word.
"But we do need to talk,"
Kaz sighed.
"Of course we do,"
Kaz cooked. Nothing special, just warm bread and soup, but Inej seemed to like it. They sat opposite each other at their little wooden table, eating and waiting for the other one to talk first. Kaz was stubborn, but Inej was infuriatingly patient when it came down to this sort of thing. Eventually, he broke the silence.
"Maya Olsen, then?"
"She's at the shelter - "
"I didn't ask where she was, I want to know - "
"Let me finish, Kaz,"
"You know I've killed people for less than interrupting me," he smirked
"And I've killed people for far more. Now be quiet, and listen to your wife,"
Kaz frowned and mumbled something about only agreeing to marriage for the tax break, but stopped interrupting her all the same.
"Maya's sixteen, I met her tonight at the Tulip Mill and took her to the shelter along with a couple of others, but they were the only ones I managed to get out," she paused and glanced away, just for a second, before picking up the thread of her story, "the other girls were both passed out - long story, I'll tell you later - I'm going to check on them in a couple of hours. But Maya was awake, so we talked and... Kaz there's no easy way to say this, but she wants to kill you,"
Kaz almost laughed. So this was why Inej had come to him, instead of waiting for him near the shelter. The had a second place there, unbeknownst to the gangs or anyone else, except the liberated kids - in case they needed Inej.
"Invite her to join the queue,"
"This is different, Kaz. This isn't some random act of aggression or some boy from a rival gang who wants to prove himself. She hasn't just picked you because you're Dirtyhands, she's picked you because you're... you,"
Kaz collected their empty bowls and began to head towards the sink, before Inej tutted and took them out of his hands, swapping them for his cane. He leant against it, and pretended the relief wasn't palpable. Somehow it was still a bad thing to rely on her.
"How does this kid even know about me? The information she was sharing wasn't specific to the gang, she didn't know who she was talking to. Just that he paid her to talk, and to not talk to anyone else. Did Yen find out about the extra income?"
"I don't think so, but Maya didn't say much about it,"
"So what information, in your extreme wisdom regarding matters of life and death, did you manage to gain?"
Inej looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"Information isn't my specialty anymore, Kaz,"
"Yes it is,"
She laughed, and Kaz closed his eyes to listen to the sound, but it was only short.
"She blames you for her indenture,"
Shit. No wonder Inej was mad at him.
"What do I have to do with that?"
"Apparently there was no choice but to sell her indenture to a mercher, when her father was in debt. The mercher died and her contract changed hands, several times, before it ended up with Yen,"
The tap hummed as Inej washed the plates. Kaz shifted his weight against his cane.
"She blames the man her father was in debt to," she glanced at him over her shoulder, "No prizes for guessing who,"
This wasn't sounding too good.
"And just for that she wants to kill me? So do a thousand other unlucky sods, Inej, I'm not concerned,"
"You also killed her father,"
Damn it.
"So, she wants to kill me. That doesn't mean she gets to. Doesn't really mean she even tries. I've killed a lot of people's family members, but I'm still standing here. Did you...?"
"Tell her we're married? Yes, Kaz, I'm that much of an idiot,"
"Alright, alright. Still, you might as well. Talk her down, take her back home and find some relative or whatever to take her. That's what you do, right?"
Inej rolled her eyes. She was now perching on top of the half wall between the little kitchen and dining spaces.
"She can't go back. She's a Fjerdan grisha, she wouldn't be safe. And as for relatives - anyone she's got would either kick her out or not dare the risk of taking her. But that's not the problem, Kaz,"
"Right, and remind me why we're more worried about this murderous little problem than any of the others?"
"Because she's different to the others, Kaz. She... well, she reminded me of you,"
"Oh," said Kaz, freezing for a second before slowly returning his watch to his pocket, even though he hadn't checked the time yet, "Then I guess we have a problem,"
Problem was an understatement, and both of them knew it. There was every chance that he was completely and utterly fucked.

@just2bubbly I fucked up and deleted your ask but it was 12, 18, and 20 right? I'm hoping that was right. Tumblr mobile is such a DELIGHT...
12. Which fic are you the most proud of and why?
This is (probably not surprisingly) easy to answer! I am proud of all of my fics, in some way or another, but like, there is that one monster looming on the horizon with its 100k+ words and its original publishing date of 2013 that just demands to be acknowledged. It Might Kill Me has been a labour of love and a delightful form of self-torture for some time now, but I am actually really proud of it. When I think back to little baby Mav starting this fic and then slightly-older Mav deciding to rewrite it and then ME TODAY writing it STILL (or rather editing the now-complete chapter sixteen) it's... it's pretty cool. I'm proud of my progress as a writer through this fic, of how much I've learned about planning and researching and worldbuilding and ESPECIALLY with sticking with something when you're passionate about it. I'm really glad I've not given up on this thing; I'm proud of the concept I came up with and how I plan to execute it, and I'm excited to eventally get there :)
18. Be honest. How many WIPs do you have at the moment?
Oi this level of honesty is PAINFUL uhhh what exactly counts as a WIP?? I mean, I have IMKM and the new Kanej fic The Heart is a Muscle actively on the go right now, but then there's also the half-finished Madanna fic that was supposed to be a one-shot that I STILL REALLY WANT TO FINISH, plus the Stranger Things fic Take Me Back which has gone unupdated in years but which is not abandoned, per se? I mean when we get the new season all signs point to me dropping everything and writing another chapter or two, so, there's that. And maybe someday I'll write the Everlark Rural Ontario AU I've had rolling around in my head for years, who knows?
I'll add @im-doing-hot-girl-shit Six of Crows High School/Breakfast Club AU too, despite the fact that it is not MY fic, because I am allegedly "helping" her with that with some kind of "beta-reading" responsibilities and am obsessed with her concept so far. It's still in a fairly embryonic stage but BOY it has been fun to harrass her with ideas about Matthias jamming angstily to Love Bites by Def Leppard when he thinks no one is home, or Kaz letting Inej into his apartment to work on some project wearing grey sweatpants and a black t-shirt and her not knowing where she's supposed to look. It's going to be fun, okay??
So yeah. How many? A few...
20 I answered already!
Thanks so much for the ask! I'm sorry I deleted it!!
