    Summary

    Sesh-uyeh. Heartsick. That was the only way Kuwei could describe this anxious feeling, this twisting, turning, tumbling dragon that had taken over his stomach.
    Aka: what happens when the crows go to high school, pretty much every teacher is a villain, and everyone ends up conspiring against them. Plus love.

    Summary

    “Kaz has an ex?” Jesper asked, sidetracked by this very new information. He turned to Kaz. “You have an ex?” he asked incredulously. Kaz looked between them all - expression unreadable.

    “No.”

    What was happening? Inej and Wylan both turned to stare at Kaz as if he was lying. Which, well, maybe. Also, Jesper was a little offended.

    “Why do they know you have an ex and I didn’t?” he asked, a little petulantly. Kaz kicked him under the table.

    “I don’t.”

    “Inej?” Jesper asked. She scoffed.

    “We’re talking about you, Jesper. Well, you and Kaz,” she said with a wave of her hand. “I don’t think it’s strange you two still spend time together. Though, to Wylan’s point, I can see why it’s a little strange for him given you don’t do this with anyone else you’ve dated as far as I know-”

    Or

    Inej and Wylan might have maybe, sort of, kind of thought their boyfriends were exes, and debate if it’s weird that they still hang out. Jesper and Kaz are understandably confused.

    Summary

    “So, yes.” Kaz said. “It is a good idea to collect in the Barrel. Merchers don’t care about some puerile charity project, but the Barrel is built of survivors. It has a very long memory. Say some jumped-up kid pinches some kruge from them. When he comes back to his boss, who lost his girl and his Da and his best friend in the Queen’s Lady, and presents him with money that’s meant to be funding a memorial for them? Them, the people who never get a scrap of respect, who were left to die in the streets? That kid will be lucky if he escapes with both of his hands.”
    --
    or: on the 10 year anniversary of the queen's lady plague, the holy ghezen health institute aim to erect a memorial for the victims, but they struggle to find the funds. kaz is selfish in a selfless way.
    and thanks to some sleuthing from wylan, jesper finds out who jordie is.
    or was.

    Summary

    Barely one in every hundred Grisha are lucky enough to have their soulmate’s first words etched into their skin. Otkazat'sya never receive the indelible ink, instead left to scramble for a soulmate who rarely, if ever, appears.
    Jesper dreamed of receiving his ink as a young boy. The chances of him meeting his soulmate were slim to none, the chances of those words appearing even slimmer. When he wakes on his thirteenth birthday with a burning rash circling his wrist, barely legible words beneath the blisters, he’s ecstatic. When the skin heals and he finally reads them, he’s terrified. Because the words on his skin aren’t a greeting, they aren’t exciting. The words on his skin are a warning.

    'He's going to kill me.'
    -
    Wylan Van Eck had been dreading his wedding. The engagement to a Mercher twelve years his senior (‘only’ his father had said, as if he should be grateful) seemed too easy an ending for him after years of torment. So, when his wedding night suddenly included hands too tight around his throat, an ungainly escape aided by a candlestick, and a midnight sprint through the city into the pits of the Barrel, well, that made much more sense.

    Title from 'Which witch' by Florence and the Machine
