The Weight of Feathers by burntbuttercroissant
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
29 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
In a valley divided by curses and blood, two families wage a generations-long feud: the Rietvelds, bound to the river with scales on their skin, and the Ghafas, haunted by feathers that mark them for the sky. Kaz Rietveld knows only ledgers, vengeance, and the weight of drowning. Inej Ghafa walks the wires like a shadow, her rope and feathers a warning to all who cross her clan.
When she saves him from the river, their fates entwine—scale to feather, curse to curse. As their families spiral into open war, Kaz and Inej must choose between the feud that defines them and the forbidden tether that could destroy them both.
A tale of curses and choices, a fable of vengeance and faith, and a love fierce enough to defy both sky and river.

Summary
The Coal Dark Festival is the one night the coal-coated, sweating humanity that is District Twelve comes out to socialize, drink, and dance to foot-tapping fiddling, jigs, reels, ballads, and laments. But now that Prim is finally through her last Reaping, has Katniss waited to long to seek out the boy with the bread? Rated mostly T, but there are serious themes. (Previously pulled from Ao3, but back up now.)

Summary
The first year back in Twelve, an extension of the last chapter of Mockingjay. Picks up from "Peeta, bearing a warm loaf of bread, shows up with Greasy Sae. She makes us breakfast and I feed all my bacon to Buttercup." A year of Katniss and Peeta making do, breaking down, and "growing back together." Working on the book. Baking. Hunting. "Real." Sitting around the fire with Haymitch. A birthday, a toasting. "Strange bits of happiness."
Chapter 1: Spring into summer, rebuilding Twelve, "coming back to life," up until "real."
Chapter 2: Fall into winter, "Peeta and I discuss all the things we never dared to in the last two years." A toasting.
Chapter 3: A post-toasting trip to a frozen lake.
Chapter 4: An announcement from Paylor brings up the unspoken. A fight, nightmares, flashbacks, reconciliation. Spring comes again.Bookmarked by Affirmed

Summary
While I was talking, the idea of actually losing Peeta hit me again and I realized how much I don’t want him to die. And it’s not about the sponsors. And it’s not about what will happen back home. And it’s not just that I don’t want to be alone. It’s him. I do not want to lose the boy with the bread. (The Hunger Games, Book 1, Chapter 22)
What if Katniss and Peeta picked up this conversation and got together before Catching Fire? Set four weeks after their win of the 74th Hunger Games.

I wore my father's old hunting jacket. Somehow that had made it through everything. The jacket, the cat, the locket, the pearl. And Peeta and I. We'd survived everything the Capitol and Thirteen had thrown at us, and all that was left was the question: what next?

Summary
In an alternate universe where a special portion of population of Panem can grow lovemarks on their skin for anyone precious to them (family, close friends, and lovers alike) Katniss Everdeen struggles with making sure no other flowers sprout on her skin except the primroses around her wrist for her baby sister and the evergreen leaves around her ankle for her dead father.
However, becoming a tribute in the 74th Hunger Games along with Peeta Mellark might make that difficult.

Summary
Lately, Merchants have taken to flirting with unwitting Seam folk as a joke, sometimes going so far as to ask them out on a date. I've even heard of a couple instances of a Merchant asking someone from the Seam to marry them, and then laughing hysterically when the poor recipient says 'yes'. So, when Peeta Mellark approaches me after the reaping, red with nerves and pushing his lips together as if he's trying very hard not to do something like laugh, I'm immediately wary.
Peeta can't possibly be asking me to marry him for real.

Summary
POST CANON!
Inej returns to Ketterdam months after the Dregs last saw her — no longer just the Wraith, and no longer waiting for Kaz Brekker to make the first move.
But Kaz has never been good with closeness, and he’s even worse at admitting what he wants. When a heist pulls them back into each other’s orbit, everything starts unraveling — a mission gone sideways, fake dating, a kiss they can’t take back, and a truth neither of them is ready to say out loud.
Because Kaz still flinches. Inej still aches.
And this time, the lie isn't for the job. It’s for the way they feel when they touch.Bookmarked by Affirmed

Summary
“Per Haskell gave him the attic to humiliate him, making him climb the stairs so often,” Jesper told her once, as they watched a Razorgull messenger reach their landing, puffing for breath before starting the last flight of stairs to Kaz’s attic rooms. Jesper dealt another hand as he spoke, the gesture automatic; he was teaching her Zemeni card games in their free time. “So of course, Kaz had to turn it into the Dregs’ center of operations and make all of us climb the damn stairs right along with him.”
Though she wasn’t paid to do it, she gathered secrets about Kaz anyway. It was becoming a habit: anywhere she went, from the chip vendors to the roofs of chapels, she gathered.
(5+1: the Crows as they learn to understand Kaz Brekker.)

The Completely Not-So-Secret Dating Life of Kaz Brekker by UnderHuman

Summary
Later, when asked when he fell in love with Inej, he would say it was there, in the library, the two of them exchanging secrets without really saying much, the weight of the past hanging in the air and their gazes giving enough space for breathing minimally, sharing the amount of oxygen they had left. When something inside him just broke, shattered into little pieces and was rearranged by her, fragment by fragment, brick by brick, and he thought:
Oh.
So that's how it feels.
***
Kaz and Inej learn how to fall in love - while their nosy friends make a bet about their relationship.

Summary
in a very different lifetime, Kaz and Inej find each other.
-
So the Rietveld boys stay with the caravanserai. Jordie’s easy manners and faster tongue smooths the way when faced with suspicious law enforcement, and Kaz’s quick hands and faster mind are put to good use. He learns the basic accounting from Jasmir, who does the books, and displays a near frightening capacity for calculating the entire sum of the day’s takings in his head, right down to the last coin.
So the years pass by and soon the caravanserai forgets that the Rietveld boys were ever outsiders, or even that they’re Kerch. They are just another part of the caravanserai. Life seems to have found a groove for them all.
Until the Ghafa troupe comes down into the valley.

Summary
He knew he was bruised and broken and nothing like the man Inej deserved but Ghezen above, he wanted to be. He wished he could stitch himself up enough to give the freshly healed pieces of himself to her. He wished he could pull himself together for a moment, just long enough to prove he was somewhere close to enough for her. It didn’t matter though. He couldn’t force her to stay anymore than he could force himself to change.
