    Summary

    Wylan gripped the edge of the bench and stared at the stained tiled floor of the holding cell. “Jesper.”

    Eyes on him. “Merchling?”

    “Whatever you’re thinking, just say it.”

    “Your back.”

    “I’m back?”

    Jesper grabbed his shoulder roughly and twisted him around. “Your fucking back.”

    -or-

    Four times Wylan was afraid to show his skin to Jesper and one time it was effortless.

    Summary

    Pekka Rollins kept all his most precious secrets at the country house in Appelbroek.

    Two sons. One of his own to cherish. One of a mercher to torment.

    His two most valuable indentures, molded by his hand into dangerous weapons… the Wraith and the Bastard, all the easier to manipulate because of their attachment to each other.

    A Ravkan cook and an Fjerdan groundskeeper, who stumbled into Ketterdam clutching each other and into jobs too good to be true.

    (There was also a Zemini serving boy, although, truthfully, that one was an accident… good staff are just so hard to come by.)

    If Pekka had only one, or two, or four under his claw, he might have lived on merrily. But all six, living and griping and bleeding and bonding together in one country estate?

    Six might be a bit of a problem for Pekka Rollins.

    We’ve got found family. We’ve got very dark angst. We’ve got a tangle of power dynamics. We’ve got a touch of Downton Abbey, probably.

    Welcome to the universe three beats over, where all of the Crows are under Pekka Rollins’ thumb and none of them intend to keep it that way. Two parts show canon, one part book canon, and 100% my own weird brain. Enjoy.

    Summary

    It takes another moment for him to attempt to push up against the wood, hearing it groan underneath the weight of something far heavier than him. It takes even longer for him to spot the beetles that crawl over the wood and inch closer to his face, the buzzing of grave flies in his too-small coffin. They buzz steadily by his face, small wings fluttering around as he whimpers, thrashing around as best as he can. (Where’s Darry? He wants to go home.) 

    By the time he’s acknowledged that he’s in a coffin, the wood has been splintered underneath his fists and dirt fills his mouth as he frantically claws his way out. He’s swallowing back mouthfuls of dirt and tears, whimpering and whining like one of the puppies that are left on the street, he wants to go home. He misses Darry and Soda, he misses the way Darry used to cradle him close and the way Soda's voice would soothe him to sleep. He misses and misses and misses. 
     

    Or: Ponyboy Curtis comes home with grave dirt in his nails.
