Hi Jenni, it's me again, I love the oneshot you made from my request, it was amazing, so I'm here to request Kaz Brekker + Can I Be Him? by James Arthur, as always, don't pressure yourself dear! Have a good day, thanks!
THE FREDDY EVENT HAS ENDED! Thank you everyone who requested during it! Freddy's characters preferences and requests for Jason, Tom and Ellis will stay open as I promised, they weren't exclusive to the event.
The Kaz taglist will apply for the remainder of content which came during the event, but after that it won't be used anymore and Kaz pieces will have the general Netflix show Shadow and Bone taglist, which contains the rest of the Crows, Alina, Mal, Genya, Darkling etc. You can apply to that if you want to catch the post-event requested Kaz pieces too!
A/N: The song sounds like it's about unrequited love, so I again manipulated the meanings a lot since I don't write full angst anymore. Sorry.
Warnings: mentions of death and torture, reader kills a guy

He remembered the day he first met you.
He had been caught off guard during a small job he was doing for Haskell, as one of the Dime Lions grabbed a hold of him, another smirking as he strode in front of him. Kaz was fighting against the water, keeping his head above the surface by force as the sweaty hands of a goon was holding his wrists in place and tried to stare the skinny guy standing in front of him down with little success.
"Well, look who do we have here." The man looked over at his partner with an amused expression and shrugged, "Even Dirtyhands is detainable."
Kaz didn't answer, trying to take in steady breaths but it proved itself to be an impossible task.
Rot, bodies, smell of death, water, have to swim away.
"What do you think, Nocks? What will Haskell do to get his dog back?" the skinny man asked with a smirk and Kaz heard the guy behind him chuckle.
"He could pay a fair amount of money, I'd imagine."
The first man smiled again, baring his teeth. Then a shadow had flicked through the corner, and someone in a cloak came from the shadows.
"Let him go, gentlemen," the newcomer said calmly, no hint of fear in their tone as they walked towards them. The skinny man in front of Kaz frowned and turned around, and was met with a person who was approximately Kaz's age, standing there with a bow and a quiver on their back. The goons both laughed at the youngster, who stood there unfazed.
"Coming to save Dirtyhands? What are you, his sweetheart?" the skinny man laughed, taking a few quick steps towards the stranger, but they were quick with taking their bow and an arrow, aiming it straight at his head.
"One step closer, and you won't be thinking anything but 'I should've listened' when you hit the ground and rats come to eat your face off." They cocked an eyebrow and nodding towards Kaz. "I said let him go, or you won't see another day."
The two men still laughed, the skinny one turning his back on that person who was attempting to either save Kaz or take him as a prisoner to another gang. "Can you believe this kid?"
"Last chance before I make my move," the stranger spoke, but the skinny one just laughed some more, flicked his knife up and charged.
But the stranger was quicker as they pulled the string back all in one motion and shot the man right in the chest. He gasped and staggered backward, dropping the knife and started gurgling blood as he fell backwards into the ground, quickly bleeding out. The goon behind Kaz shook slightly as the stranger pulled the string back again.
"Do you want to join him?" they asked and the man immediately let go of Kaz, and he heard him running to the back alley and finally the stranger lowered their bow with a smirk, and then looked down at the whimpering Dime Lion, sighing as they took the arrow out from his chest and stuck it straight back into his heart, killing him instantly.
The stranger had then walked up to Kaz, offering him their hand, but of course he hadn't grabbed it and forced himself to get up with his buckling leg. The stranger had smiled at Kaz, nodded and left the scene, leaving Kaz alone with a strange feeling in his chest.
It hadn't taken long before they met again. That's when Kaz had learned your name and learned you were not a gang member nor you wanted to take an advantage of him, which was an act worthy of Saints in the Barrel. You had just seen a kid in trouble and decided to save him, even when you knew that he was Kaz Brekker, one of the most feared gang member around. But in your opinion, no one deserved to be executed or imprisoned without a fair fight.
Somehow, you woke up that little boy in Kaz who hadn't gone through all the pain he had. The boy who believed there was good in this world. Your smile made his whole day, even if he denied it.
You were there before any of his Crows appeared the picture, and they instantly saw that there's something going on between you two, the way Kaz looked at you and the way you smiled at him, how Kaz sometimes gently nudged you with his cane if you weren't paying attention.
One time at a dining table, you told your friends about your past. When your boyfriend had joined the Dime Lions to gain "honor" and betrayed your trust in order to do so, you had dedicated your life to help people who were about to be tortured or executed by them, unless you knew as a fact that they deserved what was coming for them. You were fully aware who Kaz was, what he had done in just the past two years when you had saved him, but somehow your gut told you that he deserved to be saved.
Kaz found himself wishing he could be your boyfriend instead of you meeting someone else who's just like that filthy Dime Lion traitor, but forced himself to push the thought aside. He didn't have time for that, and he knew he didn't have any chances for you anyway. He felt like from that very moment he first saw you coming out from that dark alleyway three years ago, when he was still just a boy who had just broken his leg and was learning to use his cane, his heart had already been stolen. He hated the feeling, but at the same time... every time he saw you, he forgot everything he hated in this situation.
Maybe even the Bastard learned to love someday, and show you his feelings.

Max threw you a look, face hard, but eyes bright and uncertain, fearful, even. “You don’t have to stay, you know?”
You simply sighed, giving her a small reassuring smile, she shivered slightly as you rested a hand on her shoulder and gave it a small squeeze in a soothing manner. “Hey, stop that already, we’re in this together, alright? We are going to take that Vecna bitch down together. I won’t let him get near you again, so I have to keep a close eye on—”
The redhead interrupted you, wrapping her arms around your torso and basically pulling herself against your body, squeezing you tightly in a, grateful embrace. Your lips curved into a smile as you rested your hand on top of her head, giving her hair a small caress.
“T—thank you, (Y/N).” She whispered against your chest, closing her eyes tightly, perhaps avoiding crying in front of you, for the last thing she wanted was for one of the few adult people she admired most to see her vulnerable, that made you smile harder and you stroked her shoulders gently. “For— for everything.”
“That’s what I’m here for, Max, that’s what we’re all here for. Always.”
The promising whispering words seemed to lift her spirits a little, for as she finally separated from you, she gave you an honest, almost tearful smile and nodded, giving your hand a final squeeze before heading towards Lucas, who were waiting for her sitting on one of the couches, greeting her with huge smile and encouraging words.
Steve watched the scene with an affectionate smile raised on his lips, easily noticing the admiration and trust not only of Max, but of all the kids in you, you were like their protector and even though it was hard for him to admit it, maybe you were even a better babysitter than he was, and that was saying too much. Maybe that’s why he loved you so much, because you really cared about those little shits and the people you loved in general, he was sure you could even sacrifice yourself for them, even if you shouldn’t, of course, after all, he himself had been the one who had gotten you into all the shit that the Upside Down brought with it and still, to this day, after having seen and fought against the most disgusting and terrifying creatures, you put everyone before yourself… yes, that’s why he loved you. It was undeniable, a fact, Steve Harrington was in love with you to the fucking core.
Summary: Steve is into you. Really, really into you. The only problem is that everybody seems to know it but you. It’s not until you get dragged into the Upside Down that you finally start to see just how much he cares about you.
Female reader hurt/comfort in which reader is clueless to Steve’s feelings! Requested by anon. Some canon divergence. CW: blood/injury. Gif credit to hawkinsindiana.
what about reader tispy or high at a party and tellin steve how pretty he is and he doesn't know how to handle it?
steve versus a very drunk and slightly high reader who really likes his face (warnings for implied drinking and r eating a weed brownie <3)
Steve takes in your drunken state with something close to horror, remembering exactly how this scenario had panned out for him the last time. You’re sitting on the arm of somebody’s sofa giggling down at your hands, clearly tipsy, your head lifting up slowly when he calls your name.
“Stevie,” you say. He can’t gauge any one emotion from your voice.
“Hey, what happened? I was only gone for ten minutes. The bathroom's an en-suite, by the way.” His bitterness over having to search the upstairs three separate times for a toilet is obvious. "D'you drink a whole fish bowl by yourself?"
You take the bottom of his jacket in your hand and pull him towards you, wrapping your arms around his thighs. He dips his chin to his chest to take you in, looking down at your glassy-eyed expression with some sympathy and more apprehension.
“Are you okay?” he asks nervously.
“I’m really stupid, Steve. When we first got here and I went to speak to Donna, like an hour ago? At the snack table? I had one of her brownies.”
Oh! You’re high. Of course you are. The weed must’ve just kicked in while he was gone. And then, “Hey, why were you at the snack table? You told me you weren’t hungry.”
You shove your face into his abdomen and sigh. “I lied, Steve.” Your voice, your tone, makes him want to laugh, suddenly so solemn.
Steve pushes his arms over your shoulders and dips down until the side of his chin brushed your temple. “Are you feeling okay?”
“I’m actually really hungry.”
His eyes slip closed in exasperation. He pats your back. “Idiot. This is why you shouldn’t lie.” You laugh. “What’s funny, Pinocchio?”
“Pinocchio!” You laugh harder, dizzy giggles that warm his chest before saying, “Steve, are you saying my nose is a foot long? That is so awful.”
He rolls his eyes and pulls away from your grip. “Here, get up. Let’s go raid the pantry.”
The pantry is stocked pretty well with snacks and Steve doesn’t feel even remotely bad for raiding it in the name of his girl.
“Hey, do you like the strawberry Pop-“ he cuts off, having turned and found you sitting on the floor. “Babe.”
“Yuh?” you ask, looking up.
He sighs deeply and sits down in front of you, offering the box of Pop Tarts tentatively. You take them without looking at them, your gaze roving over his face greedily. He scratches his neck and tries not to show how shy he feels when you're looking at him like that.
“Take a picture,” he says dryly.
“I don’t have a camera.”
He chuckles to himself and shuffles as close as he can, his crossed legs brushing your knees. You struggle with the Pop Tart packaging, fingers clumsy with the cardboard. You rip open the foil and it splits wide, the Pop Tarts falling out and into your lap, a hail of crumbs over your clothes.
He takes the tarts into his hand and uses the other to brush you down.
“Dummy. Are you sure you’re feeling okay? I know you didn’t mean to… take anything.”
“You don’t 'take' pot.”
“You didn’t smoke it,” he argues, forgetting the point.
“I ate it,” you say agreeably, taking back your tarts. “I feel great, Steve. Super. You want one of these?”
“No, you’re okay. You have them both, baby.”
You grin and sandwich them together, taking a big bite that sprays another wave of crumbs down your front. He doesn’t bother brushing these ones away, staring at you unabashed. He’s worried you’re going to get upset though he knows it’s unlikely. Even so, his body remembers, and he feels nauseous as you work your way through your sugary snack.
You get a stripe of pinky-red icing on your face, from the corner of your mouth and over your cheek.
"Here," he says, waving his hand at your face. You melt towards him and he wipes it away.
You're looking at him intensely.
"What?" he asks through a laugh, paused with his hand on your cheek.
"You…"
"What?"
"You're so pretty. Handsome," you correct hurriedly.
"Pretty?" he asks.
You nod heavily. "You're pretty. My…" Steve slides his hand under your ear. "My pretty boy."
You smile, lashes kissing at the corners, nothing but love on your face as you lean into his hand. "You have the nicest face ever."
"What's the matter with you?" he asks, rubbing your cheek with his thumb just rough enough for your head to bob backwards. Your eyes close fully in response. Your smile grows.
"Nothing," you say adamantly.
Steve pulls you towards him. You're pretty floppy, your side falling into his chest, your face to his collar. "You're full of it."
"You're soooo pretty," you whisper.
"Stop it."
You look up at him, your crown brushing his chin. "You are! Look-" you bring your hands to his face. His eyes widen and his hands tighten where they rest, arms wrapped around you lightly. "Look at your face."
"I can't look at my own face."
"Okay. I'll do it."
He presses his lips together and lets you play with his face, gently squeezing his cheeks, then less so. Your eyes track over his eyes, his nose, his mouth.
"Steve," you murmur, pouting at him.
"Y/N."
Your teeth appear as your smile grows blinding. You get another case of the giggles and they're infectious, the two of you laughing as your hands fall from his face to his neck and you wrap your arms around him, climbing into his lap. Steve accepts you readily, letting a big breath escape him as he tucks you into his arms.
"Alright," he says, sighing, palm spreading over the breadth of your back.
You press your face to his neck. "Prettiest boy ever."
"Give it a rest," he says sternly. Only glad you can't see the blush blooming over his skin.
Hello there! Can I have a "I love you, I love you so much it hurts, it hurts even more to know you'll never love me" with Kaz for your Freddy event please? It's okay if you can't do it. I love your writing btw! ❤️

HOLLOW HEARTS
Kaz was angry, and it didn't go unnoticed from anyone.
You had screwed up a job, getting noticed as soon as you entered the building. You had been paired up with Kaz, and was going to keep guard as he picked a lock to a safe, but a guard noticed you. You had tried to knock him out, but he had already blown into a whistle and soon every guard at the building was after you.
Two hundred thousand kruge was lost because of you, and it was clear that Kaz was seething with rage as he glared at you walking by Inej's side. She shielded you from his glares, knowing you already felt horrible about what happened. She sent some glares of her own to Kaz, wordlessly telling him to cut it off. And eventually, Kaz sped up with his walking and left the rest of you walking along dark streets. Air laid heavy with an upcoming thunder. Sky rumbled above you, but no rain came down on your heads yet—a good sign to make it to the Slat in time. The sky would probably open its gates soon enough, though, so you shouldn't slack.
Fortunately, you made it to the Slat just before the storm hit through, and you all just slumped on the chairs at the bottom level of the Slat. You held your face in both hands, rubbing away tears while trying not to think about Kaz's face as he heard who screwed up the job. The disappointment and then anger had washed over him like waves crashing against rocks, making you sink into yourself. His eyes just told you that he'd give you a raging scolding once you'd be back at the Slat — you had never gotten one, but Jesper had told you that he got one once and that was the only time he had truly been scared of his best friend, though he didn't consider him as his friend back then. It had happened when Jesper had joined the Dregs a few months back.
Your situation was different though. You weren't a new Dreg, and you didn't think of Kaz as just a friend either. You had full on fallen in love with him, which would make him yelling at you feel so much worse than it had felt for Jesper. You had never once been scared of Kaz — maybe you should have been, but you always thought of him as a human first, not a monster that everyone painted him up as being.
He was cruel, ruthless, feared, respected. He had more enemies than most other crime bosses around. But you never thought of him as evil, you never judged him. You treated him as a human, and you could tell that was something he still hadn't gotten used to.
"Y/N, to my office." Kaz's voice made you flinch out from your thoughts. You looked up at him standing at the middle of the stairs. "Now."
You got up slowly, feeling Inej take a faint hold of your hand as you did so, and you tried to smile at her. Your smile came out to be a grimace instead though as you followed Kaz up the stairs. Once upstairs, he led you straight inside his room, slamming the door shut right behind you.
The silence between you two grew thick as Kaz stood there looking at you with those cold eyes of his. You were afraid that if you opened your mouth, you might say something wrong, or get yelled at even further, so you stayed quiet, waiting for him to speak.
He scoffed at your quietness, and finally growled, "What were you thinking?"
You swallowed, standing there in front of him without any words coming out.
His next question broke your silent state. "Didn't I teach you anything? Did you forget our deal? You're supposed to stay put to inform me in case I need to prepare for a fight, you are not supposed to play a hero!"
A small whimper escaped you, and you bit your lip hard, trying to stop yourself from crying again. You had messed up a big time today, and now Kaz was mad, and you had known exactly how he would react: he would yell, shout, curse, threaten you. Maybe even hit you with his cane to ensure you won't mess up again. And you would have to take it all in, break your heart over the man you love.
"Two hundred thousand kruge went to waste because of you, because you tried to knock out a guard even when you know they are far more experienced than you are, we agreed that we'll let Inej do the fighting!" he continued, starting to pace back and forth across his office.
The words were out before you even registered them to be coming. "I did it to protect you!"
Kaz paused, turning his head to stare at you. You hung your head low, a tear escaping your eye. Kaz blinked, and his tone suddenly changed completely. His next word came out quieter, as a half whisper. "What?"
You nodded and took a shaky breath in. "That guard was just a step or two away from noticing us. I don't know where he came from, I thought I kept close eye at the hallway. It was like he came through a wall. I made a split second decision. If he had noticed us, he would have had a clear shot at you, and I..." your voice broke and another whimper escaped your lips. "He could have killed you, and I could have had to watch you get killed. I couldn't risk... I..."
You felt Kaz's eyes on you. He regained the coldness in his voice, and placed his hands on his cane. "That was reckless, Y/N. I have taught you a lot, and risking your life for others isn't the way at the Barrel. You either save your own skin or sacrifice everyone. Sentimental bonds, playing a hero like that—"
"I did it because I love you, I love you so much it hurts, it hurts even more to know you’ll never love me,” you choked out, letting another tear slip out from your eye. You knew Kaz's eyes hardened once he heard those words, and next he'd tell you that love is for the weak, and you shouldn't waste such feelings on anyone, especially not on him. You hadn't planned falling in love, especially not with him. Kaz was someone people described as being unable to care about anything else than power and kruge, but you and your stupid feelings still felt like you could have a chance with him. But you knew all of this was pointless because he just didn't feel the same way back.
Kaz stared at you in silence, and you could almost hear the wheels turning and clicking in his head as he registered your words. But he didn't say anything. He didn't say he loved you too. He didn't get up, take your hand and kiss it, of course he didn't. So you swallowed, nodding slightly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have burst out like that," you mumbled, took a deep breath and turned around. "It won't happen again."
You heard his chair scraping the floor as he stood up, and a few clicks of his cane. "Y/N, wait."
His voice sounded different now, softer somehow. It was weird to hear his voice being like that, you had always heard it as harsh and raspy. You turned around slowly, seeing him standing in front of his desk. You waited as he slowly made his way closer, his eyes roaming around your face, as if to search something. Your lips parted slightly as you let out a breath you didn't know you were holding, and you saw Kaz's Adam's apple bobbing as he swallowed. He stopped in front of you, his eyes now being settled into yours and his lips twitched slightly. You stood there, looking into each other's eyes before Kaz slowly reached up with his hand.
"Stay still for me," he said quietly, and you obliged. After a moment, tips of his cool leather glove grazed your cheek, feather-light before it moved to trace your jawline down until he reached your neck. He stopped by your pulse point, seemingly grounding himself as he felt your pulse racing beneath his touch. After a moment, he pulled away and you looked into his eyes, your expression probably looking pretty stupid. Kaz's lips turned upwards slightly.
"Kaz... I… I thought that you…" you started, but you knew Kaz knew what you were going to say and you stopped yourself. He turned around again, and you followed, sitting down opposite of him at his desk. There wasn't any tension between you anymore, and you couldn't help but smile goofily at what had just happened.
Thunder raged outside, the rain pelting against the glass windows of the room, making everything look grey and gloomy, but you felt like the sun was shining inside. Kaz didn't need to say it out loud, he knew you knew.
He loved you too. He wasn’t angry because of the heist gone wrong, he was angry because you had put yourself in front of danger, and because of him on top of it. But that day you learned that he loved you, just as much as you loved him.

I SQUEALED SO HARD, this is the reason why I love your writings! And the way Kaz touched her proves that Kaz really cares for her and his slight smile, ugh, I love you so much Jenni, you're amazing❤️
Currently having an obsession to a kids animation show that have adults type of issues. Like bad governments and sacrifices. The men's in this show is super fine tho
I bought a fake engagement ring costing 3 euros which looks authentic so a pervert resident here would stay away from me in the future too. Hehheh.
(He thinks I'm dating a certain British actor, I'm not sure where did he get that picture because I didn't claim anything of the sort to him or anyone, I've just discussed with a nurse about how hurt I'd feel if I'd be dating him/someone and I'd get the kind of comments Caroline gets on his IG pics of her but this resident hasn't groped me or made dirty comments about me after that so I won't be correcting him)
