    Summary

    How jealous he is, about how well others manage to live in this place and not have any care as to what they take apart to do so.

    He parts his lips again, respect for himself evaporating, and he imagines a pound of his flesh as well.

    ‘Okay,’ Wylan says.

    ‘The deal is the deal?’

    He nods. ‘Yes.’

    ‘Shake my hand.’

    He does. ‘Deal is the deal,’ he says. ‘Take the flute.’

     
    Or, Wylan’s time in the Barrel.

    Summary

    “What's wrong, Nina said your heat beat is going a mile a minuet. Talk to me, darling.”

    “I recognized a couple of guys down there” Wylan said haltingly.

    “Who?” Jesper said, running his thumb over Wylan’s knee, “Ex lovers? Siblings? Old pals?..

    “They tried to kill me.” He blurted out, surprising even himself.

    Jesper paled, taken aback by Wylan’s answer, “What?”

    Summary

    Once, Kaz had said that Wylan thought like a lockpick. Wrong. Wylan thought like a clock, ticking, ticking, counting down the seconds he had left to live.

    Breathe, he told himself, told Jesper, as the world spun and the canal waters swallowed him under: six minutes. He could survive without oxygen for six minutes.

    ----------------------

    Or, a Wylan character study: the one in which Wylan meets a lost prince, Jesper writes a song, and Kaz loses a chess match.

    Summary

    Nina Zenik is a vet med student who's almost done with her clinical rotations... but she's also secretly a very powerful witch. When someone brings a cursed, injured werewolf into the animal hospital, Nina decides to try to save his life, despite the bitter hatred that exists between wolves and witches. She enlists the help of her housemates, Jesper (who's also a witch), Inej (who's fae), and Kaz (who may or may not be a vampire). But breaking this curse requires more than Nina bargained for, and time is running out. Can the Crows save the werewolf before it's too late? More importantly, can they do it under the nose of their all-too-human housemate, Wylan? And--perhaps the most important question of all--will Nina finally get some decent waffles?

    Written for the 2023 Grishaverse Big Bang. Updates Sundays.

    Summary

    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

    Summary

    They had left the TV on for him, cycling the news.

    “Suspected serial killers,” was on the lips of the anchor, but she added that the Stadwatch had no credible leads or descriptions of the suspects beyond a profiler’s guess they were probably white men, middle aged and unmarried or divorced with troubled childhoods. “If you know anything, please call 1-800…”

    Wylan glanced at the phone on the nightstand beside him.

    He let his head roll back and fall against the headboard, closing his eyes. He wondered if the Stadwatch would ever catch up, and if they did, would they just trade these cuffs for another set…

    Or: In modern day Kerch, 23-year-old Wylan has run away from home and his abusive father. He's hitchhiking between Ketterdam and Belendt when he's picked up by two men calling themselves only "Miggson" and "Prior." What he doesn't know at the time is the men are serial killers on a cross-country roadtrip, and worse than taking his life, they steal it from him. There doesn't seem much point to surviving in the weeks that follow, until one night when Wylan is sent in as a lure for Miggson and Prior's next intended victim: Jesper Fahey.

    Summary

    So this is how Jesper will meet his doom -- struck down by Kaz's bad mood and his impatience, and all because Wylan is an absolute menace of a tease who knows how to rile him up. At least it will be a good way to go.

    Summary

    “So,” the man, Jesper, says. The middle man, because Kaz Brekker can appear at your residence at random to place his order, but not to pick it up. Because Kaz Brekker will tell you to arrive at some random club instead, and you will go, because you need the money but really, this all could’ve been settled at Wylan’s front door.  “Waffles?”

    Wylan flushes, immediately averting his eyes. His nails tap away at the table they’re sitting at.

    “Stroopwafels,” he corrects, like it matters at all. “I just—had extra. So I brought them.”

    AKA; I will get us the "just girls?" "no, not just girls," scene or I will die trying. also featuring: wylan being a cunt. because he deserves to be one, even if just mentally.

    Summary

    “I figured now that you’ve inherited your father’s empire, and the tidy sum of petty cash in his safe, you’d want your right-hand man to look presentable. On top of being devilishly handsome of course.”

    “My right-hand man?” Wylan asks, raising an amused brow. Who’s being presumptuous now?

    “Paperwork to be drawn up…?” Jesper offers a cheeky grin, but he’s clearly off-kilter. His fingers tap against the smooth varnish of the bedpost, brush through his hair, touch his revolvers, twirl the rings in his long fingers. His silver eyes are roving over Wylan’s face, searching, reading, before he takes a breath. “I meant what I said you know, I will help you. If you'll have me,” he adds sheepishly.

    It makes Wylan’s toes curl.

    ...or Jesper and Wylan's first times at the Van Eck mansion, because we all need closure.

    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.

    Summary

    It is with bone-deep exhaustion that Wylan finds weighing on his steps when he stumbles his way to the East Stave - far enough from the tannery, far enough from leering grins, lingering touches on his backside every time he turns, shoving him down to his knees and pushing a member down his throat-

    Wylan falls to his knees in front of some club, breath shuddering. The lights from that place is warm, but he doesn’t dare go in. If he couldn’t survive a tannery, there’s no telling if he’d survive a club.

    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.

    Summary

    Truth be told, he isn’t entirely sure what it is they are even doing here. There is no immediate demand for explosives: the fighting is over, at least for now, the survivors are recovering, resting, reconnecting. Things are quiet, almost subdued. Non-explosive, so to speak.

     

    Jesper and Wylan share a moment, after the battle. Feelings are had. Sparks fly.

    Summary

    This might be the worst job Jesper has ever had. He spent the first sixteen years of his life shoveling horse shit, and this could be worse.

    He can’t think of anyone in Kaz’s employ who would be cut out for an undercover job on the Geldstraat - Nina, maybe - but that person is certainly not him. All the same, the request was simple enough. The rumour is that someone tried to assassinate Jan Van Eck’s son, Inej had told him, and now he’s asking around for a Barrel bodyguard. Jesper happened to fit the job requirements.

    Summary

    “It’s fine,” Wylan says quickly. “I don’t want to talk about it.”

    And Jesper understands, he still does, but the part of him that itches to press him on it has grown more incessant. He wants Wylan to trust him, to reveal himself to Jesper and let him see all of it, even the parts that might be a bit ugly. He wants to understand Wylan better, to know him, and unravel his history and the years before he met Jesper.

    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.

    Summary

    On Tuesday morning it was a pink peony, in the keyhole.

    The boy with eyes like the stars was wearing a dress that day, a flowy thing in greens and yellows that grazed the skin of his calves every time he walked. He’d paired that with a battered up pair of All Stars, but Wylan wasn’t one to comment on fashion choices, what with his shapeless sweaters and big scarves.

    He smiled at him through his window, and the boy smiled back when he caught him staring.

     

    Alternatively: Wylan Van Eck is an idiot but he still deserves nice things.
