Summary
Wylan keeps waiting for it all to go wrong.
Ever since that first night, after they beat Pekka Rollins, ever since the night after that, when it wasn’t over. Every morning since, when it still wasn’t.
Happiness isn’t reliable. Peace is not permanent. People do not stay. This is what Wylan knows; it’s the only proven hypothesis he has any reason to trust. And every day, he wonders how long he has left before everything good that’s happened over the last month is inevitably whisked away.
Or: the scenic route to the Van Eck reveal. Wylan Van Eck, in the months following the Crow’s return to Ketterdam. Struggling with his past, relearning love in its many forms, and worrying an awful lot about how to keep it.

Or, Five (5) Times Kaz Asked Wylan to Make a Bomb and How This Resulted in Wylan Obtaining One (1) Boyfriend
*
Wylan knew all too well how to play with fire—as a chemist, as a tanner’s apprentice, as his father’s son, he had to be familiar with it—but this was a new kind of risk, leaving his heart exposed on the damp cobblestones to be stomped on. It was idiotic, he knew, to intentionally let himself be wounded in the Barrel. Things tended to get infected here, and people preyed on weakness like sharks.
But he had been alone, been lonely, for so many years, long before he’d emerged from a freezing canal and found himself at the bottom of the Barrel. He needed this, and even if it was going to burn him, even if it was a poorly constructed bomb just waiting to implode, Wylan found that he didn’t much care.
At least he’d have been warm and wanted for one night in his miserable, saintsforsaken life.

Summary
Above Wylan’s bony left ankle, metal gleams: a heavy iron manacle, welded to a long chain of links that snake behind him, clattering on the floor as he moves.
Jesper watches it, mouth open as everything he’d assumed shatters and comes back together in a new shape. “You’re a prisoner!” he blurts out.
Wylan twists sharply to look at him, face creased in a familiar aggravated scowl. “Are you an idiot?” he demands. “The locked door wasn’t a clue?”
There are new weapons appearing in the Barrel. Kaz sends Jesper undercover to find out where they’re coming from. Jesper finds something else entirely.

“So, what else can he think but that what went down in this house went down for a reason? What else, when the absence of his father’s words and his tutors’ hands feels like a disruption in nature?”

Summary
Wylan Van Eck is the hunted, runaway son of the most powerful mercher in the city. Jesper Fahey is an addict who's in way over his head. Just when they thought they might have found a new home in each other, a new job, the biggest one the Crows have ever scored, threatens to bring all of their secrets—and their insecurities—to the surface. With the slaughter at King Nikolai’s coronation, the continent is now openly at war, and the Crows find themselves smack in the middle of a world needing saving once again.
There are a thousand reasons for Jesper and Wylan to walk away, if their damn fool hearts weren’t so stubbornly in love. Can they forge that love into something strong enough to withstand the dangers it faces—or will it be their own choices that cause it to shatter?
This is a Wesper-centric reimagining of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, through the lens of the Shadow and Bones TV canon.
