["touch-tone telephone" by lemon demon]
i'm an expert, i'm the one
the one who was right all along
better to be laughed at than wrong!
[on jesper's powers, and his ingenuity for day 7 of @wesper-week.]
[image description: two sketchy comic pages with lyrics from "touch-tone telephone" by lemon demon.
the first page contains four panels. the first two are closeups of wylan and jesper's faces. above wylan is text that says "i'm an expert", and following it is text under jesper that says "just like YOU". under them taking up a good part of the page is a depiction of jesper's farm in novyi zem. text on it says "and like YOU i'm a genius / before my time". there's a small panel on top of it that pictures jesper's hands holding a tin of jurda. the fourth and final panel shows wylan taking jesper's hands as text below them says, "disbelieving, THAT'S the real crime!" scattered about the page are a page with equations, a quill and spilled ink, and loose jurda flowers.
the second page contains one panel, depicting a myriad of things on a surface. there is one of jesper's revolvers, two bullets, a couple flasks of liquid, a cloth with dye blotted on it, and various jurda flowers and their stems. above it is text that says "pretty soon they'll discover me". below this panel is a large explosion that takes up almost the entire page. in the middle of the explosion is jesper jumping up with joy, one revolver in a raised hand. text around him says, "IN THE SUPER SARGASSO SEA!" end id.]
One time Wylan is working on something important all day and night and Jesper is trying to help but he isn't of any real use, and he feels bad so he stitches Wylan a headband to keep his curls off his face when he's leaning and Wylan loves it, Jesper loves it even more because his boyfriend is looking all hot and sexy like a new boy band member and now he regularly stitches him more headbands till Wylan has literally one matching every colour of clothing he possesses and now Wylan can't go to work without them.
Happy Wesper Week! We are doing a Wylan POV because I can’t write charm at all. This is a modern AU bachelor party. The grisha powers exist but everything else is made into there real life equivalent
TW very brief mentions of sex trafficking.
What am I doing here? Wylan thought to himself
When his boyfriend Jesper insisted on throwing there good friend Matthias a bachelor party Wylan thought maybe they would go to a nice bar or play some party games
Not get crazy drunk, Not set fire to the Dutch Garden, not get chased by cops, not perform a gas station heist and not catch one of his best friends making out with a gas station cashier
However it seemed the universe didn’t care for the thoughts of little ole Wylan Hendricks
“Let’s get this party started!” The Australian yelled
Wylan had to remindhimself he loved his boyfriend Jesper
“Can you not shout?” Matthias, the groom to be, begged
Wylan, Jesper, and there friends Kaz and Kuwei were throwing a bachelor party for Matthias
It took a lot to convince the Norwegian that this was indeed a great idea
Wylan had never been to a bachelor party before but he was excited for his boyfriend who adored them
“Do we really have to go to this bar Jesper?” Kaz groaned seeing the crazy bright neon sign
After years of knowing Kaz Brekker Wylan could tell that Kaz was cursing Inej for telling him to come
Nevertheless the boys all walk in and start ordering shots
“Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!” The boys chanted egging on Kaz and Matthias drinking contest
Well it was mostly Jesper and Kuwei chanting Wylan after having a couple drinks was staring at the twinkle in Jespers eyes
He really was beautiful Wylan thought to himself
Wylan attended the University of Amsterdam to mostly escape his father.
There he met his lifelong friends
Matthias a grumpy international exchange student who grew up in a very prominent and dangerous cult in Norway. He wants to be a Norwegian ambassador
Nina Zenik, a heartrender turned corpse witch who was actually a russian spy back in the day. Now she’s working to become an ambassador
Inej Ghafa, she started a non profit to help stop sex trafficking whitch takes her all over the World but she used to. be an acrobat and after that worked with Kaz as his spy
Kaz Brekker, someone who Wylan after years of knowing him isn’t quite sure if there truly friends, or the semi illegal activities he gets up to. Wylan thought his hacking days would be done after University but Kaz has built an online criminal empire
Kuwei Yul Bo a scientists apprentice from China. He was currently working on his masters degree along side Wylan.
And Jesper. How to describe Jesper Fahey. He was an exchange student from Australia. A fabricator with a gift with Guns. While Jesper loved his pistols he actually works for a nonprofit dedicated to gun safety and regulation
After a highly illegal heist on there trip to Norway during college they all bonded as a group
Especially Wylan and Jesper
Jesper with that twinkle
Jesper with that laugh
Jesper with the way he looked at him now
After many more drinks Kuwei had the idea of the century
“Yooooooo y’know what’s a good idea?” Kuwei said bringing his head up from where it was previously glued to the table
“More shhhhhhhhhots?” Jesper suggested clearly as drunk as Wylan
“A couple blocks away is The Dutch Garden, wanna see some prrrrrrrrrrretty flowers?”
Fun fact this is a real place in Amsterdam
Wylan turned towards Kaz expecting him to veto it then and there but to Wylans shock and horror Kaz said “Hell yeah”
“But, but, it’s super late it’s gonna be closed!” Matthias spluttered out
“We can sneak in from the back fence” Jesper said
When Jesper drank his Australian accent whitch had soften over the years of living in Amsterdam came through in all of its glory
When Wylan first met Jesper he thought he was completely out of his league
And that damn accent drove Wylan Insane
While Wylan was contemplating the wonder that was Jesper Llewelyn Fahey it seemed the group made a decision without him
And Wylan thought for the first time in this bachelor party
What am I doing here?
“C’mon Wylan just climb!” Kuwei whisper screamed at Wylan
The drunken lads had made it to the Garden and had found an area where there was a fence they could climb with relative ease
All of the others made it to the other side
Except Wylan
“Don’t you want to seeeeeee the flowwwwwwwers?” Kaz insisted
If Wylan needed any more proof he was the soberest man out of all of them Kaz saying the word ‘pretty’ that isn’t referencing Inej was a clear sign
“Baby pleeeeease” Jesper begged
Oh
Oh no
Not that face
Wylan thought of himself as a sensible person who doesn’t succumb to pressure easily
But when his boyfriend made that face
Where his cool grey eyes went big
And his face had a slight flush to it
Wylan
Broke
“Fine! But if we get arrested it’s on you guys!”
With the ease of a spider who’s leg got chopped off by a middle aged housewife who’s husband is cheating on her climbing up a wall Wylan somehow got across
It wasn’t pretty
And it wasn’t gonna make Kaz proud
But it was completed
Panting Wylan on the ground said “I think this is my biggest accomplishment”
“Not…. Putting away your father? Or growing past your Internalised homophobia? Or writing your first essay on your own?” Matthias suggested clearly bewildered
Hey so i know Wylan can’t actually read. But seeing as this is modern day and plenty of dyslexic people can read with help, I figured that Jan would refuse to take Wylan to a doctor or get him help with his dyslexia believing it was weak making Wylan unable to read. Buuuuut when he’s older it makes sense to me he does learn. I’m not trying to invalidate his experiences or “fix” him but for the sake of a modern AU I had to change some things.
“Nope. It’s climbing this fence” Wylan laughed as Jesper helped him up
“Everyday you remind why your my favorite human” Jesper said with a laugh
“Ewwwww it’s like you guys like to remind how I’m the only single one” Kuwei said with a throwing up motion
“Thanks Jesp- wait human?” Wylan asked confused
“Well my favorite thing is Milo of course” Jesper winked
“The- the goat in Russia?” Kaz inquired not quite wanting to believe what Jesper was saying
To Wylans knowledge Kaz, Inej and Jesper did some job in Russia before he ever met them
“Why of course” Jesper slung an arm around Wylan who was not quite sure how to feel about this goat
Kaz went to go look at some purple flowers and contemplate his life choices
“Oh my god guys…….” Matthias started “the flowers! They’re- they’re”
“Cmon Matty, share with the class” Kaz said apparently bored with the purple flowers
“They’re so preeeeeeeetty” Matthias eyes welled up with tears
“Oh Saints tell me he’s not crying” Kuwei Moaned
Jesper walked over to where Matthias was stroking a hydrangea
“They are soooooooo pretty” Jespers eyes also Welled up with tears
“Fuck this shit” Kuwei said taking out a lighter and cigarette
“Hey! Smoking is very bad for you Kuwei!” Wylan lectured
“Wylan. I’m an inferni. Smoking foesnt affect us” Kuwei rolled his golden brown eyes
“Yeah but we’re in a highly flammable garden! And the rest of us aren’t inferni!” Wylan said
It seemed during Kuwei and Wylans arguement Kaz had also joined the cult of flowers that Matthias and Jesper were fixated on
“Wylan stop smoke shaming me!” And the scientists went back and fourth
“KUWEI YOU PIECE OF-“ Wylan started then sniffed the air “is that, is that smoke?” Wylan asked
“Holy shit dudes there’s a fire!” Kaz yelled pointing at where the cigarette Kuwei droppped
It seemed that the cigarette lit fire to a big wall of flowers
“This is why I never wanted a bachelor party!” Matthias moaned
The boys could hear voices coming towards them
Then all of the men looked at each other
And all of them yelled “RUN!”
All of them starting sprinting to the fence
And Kaz with his limp scrambled up that fence the fastest
Guess his determination to not get caught was strong
Wylan started climbing as fast as he could whitch wasn’t very fast
“Cmon Merchling!” Jesper said at the top reaching out a hand to his boyfriend
Wylan took it and stared at the steel eyes that had first enraptured him years ago
“Hey Stop!” Looking back Wylan and Jesper saw three security guards running towards them and yelling at them to stop
Jesper yanked Wylan up and they both fell off the fence in a pile
Jesper took Wylans hand and they all started booking it to Wylan’s car
Wylan who had sobered up in the whole endeavor determined that he was probably sober enough to drive
Piling in they all shoved themselves in the car
Wylan turned on the gas and starte to get the car back on the road
“I can’t believe we ran from cops!” Matthias said in between panting
“That was awesome!” Jesper exclaimed from the passenger seat
Wylan laughed
He had never been a spontaneous person
It seemed this night was a lot more fun then he thought
Until he heard the sirens
From the backseat Kaz turned
And three police cars were zooming towards them
“I am not going down for arson!” Kuwei yelled
“Wylan stop driving like a grandma and go faster! There gaining on us!” Kaz screamed at Wylan
“I can’t there’s a stoplight!”
“Run it!” Jespers shrill voice screamed at him
And Wylan did what he swore to never do
He took a deep breath
And ran that light as fast as he could
They were flying
Wylan had never seen how fast he could make his car go
Turns out it was fast
Wylan used some of his dads money to buy a sports car just to rub it in Jans face
With the top off and blood rushing through Wylans head he had never felt more alive
His boy beside him
His friends behind him
“WOOOOOOOOO!” Kuwei yelled throwing his hands up
Jesper joined Kuwei as the car sped down the street
Matthias was looking a little green
“Matty you okay back there?” Wylan shouted back at the Norwegian
“No!” Matthias shouted over the roar of engine and Jesper and Kuweis yips and yells
Some point during this Kaz called Inej
“Inej I hate thissssss!” Wylan couldn’t hear what Inej said back but from the pieces Kaz gave it was obvious
“No im not drunk!……. Psh of course those aren’t sirens…… Inej we might’ve bended the law but I swear it wasn’t my fault!…….. alright bye. ….I love you to….”
After what seemed like an eternity Wylan finally lost the police
Laughing the Wylan pulled into a gas station for refill
Wylan stepped out of the car and began to refill his car and thought for the millionth time what am I doing here?
“Wylannnnnn” Kuwei moaned
“What Kuwei?” Wylan said already exasperated
“Wylan I’m hungryyyyyy”
“Then go grab some chips or something!”
“But I don’t want to pay for it!”
“Then I guess that sucks for you!”
“You got like a million dollars from stealing me from Norway! You owe me!”
Ghezen Wylan hated drunk people
“Let’s perform a heist on the gas station!” Matthias said apparently done feeling sick
“What? No! We aren’t stealing from the gas station!” Wylan lectured
“It might actually be fuuuuuuun Wy” Kaz begged
The rest of the party were already getting out of the car ignoring Wylans protests
“We will do a simple distract act, Kuwei will go in first and lead the cashier away, and then we go in and steal chips” Kaz explained
It seemed even drunk Kaz could scheme
“This is insane!” Wylan exclaimed
“You said that about rescuing Kuwei from the Norwegian government but that ended up great” Matthias replied
They were gonna do this with or without Wylan
With a sigh Wylan thought what am I doing here?
Kuwei had gone in and had given the single
Wylan had walked in after pretending to look at some sodas and after Kuwei went into the back room with the cashier Wylan sent a quick text to the rest of the guys to come In and get raiding
Like clockwork Matthias, Jesper, and Kaz went in and they started ransacking the place
Wylan was in charge of Sodas, Matthias was in charge of Chips, and Jesper was in charge of Candy
Kaz had the most important job of all
He had to hack into there computers and wipe the security cameras
If Kaz couldn’t do that then Kaz would have to actually hack into the computers from his phone
It almost suprised Wylan how quickly efficiently, and quietly, a bunch of drunk guys could ransack a gas station
Wylan did feel guilty for a moment
But then he remembered how the CEO of the company the gas station is owned by has had multiple sexual misconduct allegations and Wylan felt better
Wylan got all the soda he could carry and rushed back to the car dumping them in the backseat
Soon after Matthias followed then Jesper and a little while after Kaz
Wylan did a quick headcount “wait where’s Kuwei?”
Wylan checked his phone
No texts from him
Shit shit shit
“Someone has to go back in” Kaz said
“I’ll go after him” Wylan said with a sigh
He loved Kuwei like a brother
But like an annoying little brother constantly getting himself in messes
Wylan Walked in and saw the e cashier wasn’t back
Wylan walked through the store and then heard something towards the men’s bathroom
Walking closer to the door the noises were getting a bit louder
Wylan opened the door slamming it against the wall
There stood a wide eyed Chinese kid and from the green uniform Wylan guessed was the cashier
The cashier who was standing between Kuweis legs. Kuwei who was sitting in the edge of the bathroom sink
There’s arms were around each other
Wylan was confused
What was Kuwei doing?
Oh
Oh
“Get your ass in the car Kuwei!” Wylan yelled
Kuwei gave whispered sorries to the cashier while collecting his jacket he apparently threw off
Wylan dragged Kuwei by the arm outside the store
“Kuwei. When we say distract the cashier, that means distract, not make oht with him!” Wylan lectured
“Cmon Wylan you saw him, he was cute!”
“Your drunk Kuwei!”
“Aren’t we all a little drunk in life?”
“That makes absolutely no sense” Wylan said with a sigh “just go to the car”
Kuwei happily skips away
Wylan had just dropped off Matthias at his and Ninas apartment after dropping off Kaz and Kuwei
Leaving just Wylan, Jesper, and an unhealthy amount of snacks in the car
“Hey Wylan” Jesper said
“Yes Jes?”
“I love you”
“I love you to Jesper”
“No wylan” Jesper took Wylan’s face in his hands
“I really love you” Jesper Pushed a ginger lock away from Wylans face
Jesper then reached into his pocket and pulled out a rumpled purple flower and tucked it into Wylans hair “I really really really love you”
Wylan blinked. Jesper was so drunk.
Wylan gave Jesper a soft smile and placed a kiss on his mouth
“I love you to Jesper”
And suddenly Wylan knew exactly what he was doing there
Finnally finished this in the Nick of time! @neilperryisalive I hope you enjoy this! I was seriously worried I wouldn’t be able to finish it but I did! I’ve never written Wesper but I really enjoyed it. My ask box is open and I take any Grishaverse requests
"Screw you for being so perfect." @wesper-week Day 1: Jealousy
It wasn't like Wylan wanted to think about it.
It wasn't like he mapped out the slow descent to insanity, first when the thought randomly popped up as he did the dishes, then as he looked in the mirror at his unremarkable eyes and nearly invisible, too-short eyelashes, then as he lay awake in the dawn, staring at Jesper's sleeping form bathed in rose-gold from the open window that his boyfriend would definitely grumble about when he woke up.
No, when he wondered how many other places and people had seen Jesper in that same position, sprawled over white bedcovers, long lashes brushing his cheekbones and face uncharacteristically at peace--it was uninvited torture.
It had only been half a year, and already he was growing old and insecure. Seventeen, and he already felt like he wasn't enough--no match for Jesper's vivacity, his keen wit and keener gaze, no match for Jesper's smarter, calmer, tougher friends. Jesper had always been a rolling stone, even as the path chipped and chipped away at him though he deserved better (he deserved the goddamn world) and he sparkled through it all, stayed the wondrous boy he was. Wylan was something he'd had picked up, something Jesper, like his dad, like the part of his brain that should have gotten him to read, could easily drop back down, forget about, if he wasn't good enough for them.
When he stared at the silver rim around his teacup, Madeline's blue-gray eyes flashed before him; when he saw Jesper swallow the bitter coffee he needed to focus, sometimes, Kaz's eyes appeared, liquified; and every interaction that Jes was better at than Wylan--which was every interaction ever--only served to remind him of how easy it was to fall in love with Jesper.
It had taken him far less than was prudent, after all.
Now, as Jesper plucked a flute of champagne off a passing waitress and scanned the room, the butterflies in Wylan's stomach multiplied, going haywire.
'Ready?' Jes asked, dark eyes twinkling, and Wylan nodded vigorously. Fuck no.
