It is my firm belief that one of the most important parallels in Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom is that Wylan Van Eck had the potential to become Kaz Brekker, and Kaz Brekker had the potential to become Wylan Van Eck, in this essay I will -

Kaz and Inej totally have a love language which no one but them understands.
For her birthday Kaz gave her the location of the biggest slaver ship. While Inej gave Kaz the trade records (including the backhand deals) from all her travels for his.
Their first anniversary was celebrated by stealing a DeKappel, just the two of them, for old times sake.

In Kaz’s office there is a special place where no one is allowed to sit. This place is the windowsill, this windowsill has a blanket and a couple pillows. Some of the Dregs tried to sit there if they were in the office, but very fast learned that it is fraught with being pierced by a cane. The one and only person who can sit there safely is Inej Ghafa. And why wouldn’t she? Kaz arranged that windowsill personally for her, so she could sit there comfortably and feed the crows

*after the Crows have been separated for a few years*
Wylan van Eck: So what have you been up to recently?
Nina Zenik: Leading a revolution.
Wylan van Eck: Good for you! That's awesome!
Nina Zenik: I know! Anyway, have you heard from the others? Inej?
Jesper Fahey: Happily living as a pirate queen, happily married to Kaz. What about Kuwei?
Wylan van Eck: *mockingly* What about Kuwei?
Nina Zenik: Wrongfully locked up in an asylum, which reminds me, we need to break them out later. But wait, what about Kaz?
Jesper Fahey: Still a gang leader.
Nina Zenik: Yeah, that sounds about right.

I’m at the point where I’m not sure if what I know is actually canon or if it was something I read in an emotionally wrecking one shot on the Ao3 at 04:13 am

“the fire can’t touch me,
for i have burned one too many times.
and the sea can’t harm me,
for i have been drowning all my life.
oh, but you
could rip
my heart open, darling,
for i have never known love before.”

Okay maybe I’m just late to the party realising this but you guys when Kaz talks about Geels and his girlfriend in chapter 2 of Six of Crows is it meant to be implicit reference to him and Inej as a set up for the rest of the duology???
This is the quote that made me think this just now:
“You love her, don’t you? Of course you do, no-one that fine should have ever looked twice at Barrel scum like you but she’s different. She finds you charming. Sure sign of madness if you ask me, but love is strange that way”
And then that’s followed by Geels giving up on all the planning and scheming he’s done to be able to kill Kaz so that Kaz won’t hurt Elise!?
The entire scene is about Kaz trusting Inej blindly to get to the other guard on time and save his life??
They talk about *geraniums* in the window box of 19 Burdtradt!!?????
The more I think about this the more I love it but idk maybe I’m reading into it too much? Lemme know what you guys think

Kaz loves the crows. He just does not know how to show his affection.
Kaz was traumatized as a kid, then had to raise himself in the Barrel. He had no one care about him after Jordie died. Before the crows.
Kaz never saw people showing each other genuine love, there was always a motive, always a fear of betrayal.
So Kaz learns to show he cares by watching Inej silently slip into his room after a fight. How Jesper hugs Wylan so casually, how Matthias always has a fond expression while Nina speaks.

"Many boys will bring you flowers.
But someday you'll meet a boy who will learn your favorite flower, your favorite song, your favorite sweet. And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does.
Only that boy earns you heart."
But the boy she chose knew what she truly wanted, he remembered her words and secret innermost desires. He helped her return home and break free from her cage…
