#dirtyhands

[the-angry-acrobat]

ok but nothing will ever be as iconic as kaz brekker breaking into the slat knowing it was pretty much a suicide attempt, stopping to change his coat, and then descending down the stairs while beating the shit out of an entire gang (all armed with various fatal weapons) like some kind of insane preacher covered in blood

meanwhile inej watches from above like a bloodthirsty guardian angel

kaz brekker head canons

is very well read, and despite how violent or how much he became dirty hands, he always cared about his education because he thought jordie would be proud of him

cuts his own hair in the dirty slat bathrooms because his too afraid of the touch

when he was younger and adopted the name brekker - it took him a long while to get used to it - so when people would call “brekker” he just wouldn’t respond

peppers little kisses on inej as much as he can, because he struggles with long slow kisses

keeps a journal, but uses code names so no one hurts the people he loves

calls inej - “darling”, “light of my life”, “lover” and “sweetheart” quite quickly once they get together

kisses inej’s hair when he can’t stand physical touch

loves saying inej’s name - he’ll often sneak it into conversations even if it’s not necessary because he likes the way it rolls off his tongue

although him and jes fight, kaz secretly has a soft spot for jesper

some dreg asked him about his last name being brekker, and remembering a small brand of drink or something with the same name, and kaz gaslit him into thinking otherwise

trips jesper up with his cane and than gaslights him into thinking it’s just clumsiness

can’t stand being unshaved

calls inej his queen after van ecks imprisonment (we’ll be kings and queens inej, kings and queens.)

when he gets drunk, his southern kerch accent comes out

mutters jordies name in his sleep, until inej finally puts the puzzle pieces together

is the little spoon

he loves candles, he likes how the smoke wafts around the room when you blow it out

Here Comes Trouble

Kaz Brekker’s girl is more trouble than she’s worth. But maybe not to him…

summary: absolutely no warnings except kaz brekker himself. kaz is slightly whipped and keeps his girl out of trouble, but also maybe doesn’t do much to stop her to begin with, gang boss, club owner kaz spoiling and being protective of his girl 😵‍💫

She had cheated slightly in a game of cards.

Jesper swore that he had definitely been watching her and only looked away for a second.

Kaz eyed her as she came strutting into the Crow Club, looking slightly out of breath and extremely pleased with herself. She spun around to look over her shoulder once more, before pulling an impressive fold of Kruge out of her pocket. Kaz let out an exasperated sigh and Jesper looked to him with an amused smirk. Jesper noted silently how she never got in any trouble with Kaz, but if Jesper spent even one too many Kruge he was sure to get a lecture and a nasty threat. Kaz twitched his lip up in slight irritation to Jesper’s smirk, before pushing past him with his ungraceful limp, walking slightly faster than he normally would.

Kaz grabbed her by the arm and guided her kruge-filled hand back into her pocket, quickly. “Having fun, are you?” He ignored the smug smile on her face, tightening his grip on her wrist slightly so she didn’t flash the bills around again. She shrugged innocently, “They were stupid and easy.” Kaz exhaled again, gloved hand running down his nose. Saints. “Yes, well. I wish I couldsay the same about you.” Her smirk only grew as she looked him up and down. “Who do I have to pay off now?” She smirked again as she pulled out her falsely won money, “No one, darling.”

Kaz narrowed his eyes slightly at her tone, watching her pass each bill between hands as she counted it, “They didn’t even notice that I cheated.” Kaz took the money from her again, this time shoving it deep into his own pocket. She looked at him with a pout andKaz only slightly rolled his eyes. “You can have it back later.” He felt slightly like a parent disciplining their child, but this was usually only directed towards Jesper. “Fine.” She crossed her arms slightly before pulling out a small bag of coins and dropping it into his pocket. She bit her lip lightly, the same smirk that usually got her out of trouble on her lips, “Buy yourself something pretty.” She winked and Kaz stared at her blankly.

“And where did this come from?”

“You used to think my sticky fingers and questionable morals were charming.”

Kaz smirked slightly, “That was before it started costing me more to keep you out trouble, than it does for me to keep this place running.” She shrugged innocently, “You could choose not to keep me around, you know. But, I’m almost always careful. And besides, no one is going to mess with me after they find out who my big, scary boyfriend is.” Kaz quirked an eyebrow up slightly as she tugged on both sides of his lapel, smirking slightly. He gave her a doubtful look, but really she wasn’t completely wrong… “Maybe now people let you get away with things, because of me, but Ketterdam is still dangerous and if you cheat the wrong people, money won’t get you out of being killed.” She brushed her dress off slightly, lips puckered slightly in thought. Kaz watched her, never knowing if his warnings got to her, or if she would ever take them seriously. She had always been smart about who she played, and just how much she could get away with taking. But she also got bored easily, and may someday see just how far she could push her luck- and Kaz’s status.

When she finally looked up, evidently done with her thinking, she smirked. Kaz held his breath as she pulled him just slightly closer, glancing around to see that no one was looking and no one could see the heat rising in his cheeks. “Well if that were ever the case,” He inhaled sharply as she traced her hands along his hips and to his back, “Dirtyhands would come out to play.” Kaz smirked at this, knowing, once again, she wasn’t wrong. “Dirtyhands is supposed to be retired.” A calmer life with steady income, or something like that. She raised her eyebrow just slightly, thinking back to two weeks ago when Dirtyhands, had in fact, beat someone with a brick for looking at her the wrong way. Kaz clocked the look on her face immediately and his lip twitched slightly, “Only for you does he come out to play.”

Being a member of the Six of Crows fandom, every time I read the phrase 'Brick by brick' I'm only reminded of the empire of Pekka Rollins that I have to bring down, along with my band of six traumatized and dramatic teenagers.

little kaz brekker doodle because he’s always on my mind

Reread six of crows for my bookclub and Kaz still has me in a vice grip it seems

[blessedsweetgirl]

My friend who has not read SoC thought that the bathroom scene between Kaz and Inej in CK was smutty since she saw some fanarts of it and some people kind of hyped it like it was

I mean i think it might sound like a spicy scene to non-SoC readers when we call it "the bathroom scene"

Like the smuttiest thing that happend was kaz pecking Inej's neck and that almost sent him into a coma 😭

Jealousy

Pairing: Kaz Brekker x Reader

Summery: Kaz gets jealous

Warnings:

Masterlist

To be fair, you probably should have seen it coming. You knew what Kaz was like, even if he did try to deny it.

You should have guessed how this would get on his nerves. But equally. This was his idea. He was the one who told you that your job was to distract the mark. To look pretty and bat your eyelashes. So that was exactly what you had done.

But based on the way that Kaz's jaw was clenching, you were starting to wonder if maybe he was starting to regret this plan.

Thanks to keeping an eye on Kaz, you could see when he gave you the signal. With a subtle nod of your head, you turned to the mark. Making some excuse as to why you had to go before turning on your heel and leaving the mark dazed and confused behind you as you swished off.

You take a long route home. Making sure that there is no way that you are followed as you head back home to the slat.

When you get back, you head straight for your room. Pulling off the wig and taking off the disguise that you had been wearing.

Only when you are back to feeling like yourself do you venture out of your room and head up the stairs to where you know Kaz's office resides.

Knocking on the door, you wait, you know that he heard you coming, and you know that he is being petty by making you wait for a moment or two. But you are happy to play his game.

"Come in." You hear him call. Causing you to push the door open.

You can see Kaz sitting behind his desk. Studying some papers in front of him, he refuses to look at you as you approach his desk and flop down into the chair in front of him.

But you are content to wait. Leaning back in your chair, you get comfortable. Your eyes fluttered shut as you let your mind drift.

"The heist was a success," Kaz tells you after a long pause.

"I'm glad." Your eyes flutter open as you smile at him. "I take it the mark is none the wiser."

"Thanks to your distracting him." At that, Kaz's jaw seems to clench. "Inej was able to get in and out without anyone knowing."

"That's good," you tell him. Before pausing. "jealousy is a normal feeling. Just don’t let it consume you."

Kaz spullters for a moment. Unsure of what to say. "I'm not jealous." He manages to get out.

You don't say anything. Just watch his face as the muscle by his jaw ticks.

"It's nothing to be embarrassed about." You assure him as you rise to your feet. "You have nothing to be jealous about. You're the only one." Then, with that you turn, leaving Kaz's office as you head down to the bar.

Leaving Kaz in his office, staring at where you had just disappeared from.
