the cold waters of dread by burntbuttercroissant

Summary
The nightmare comes for him the old way—mean and sudden, like a hook in the dark.
Kaz wakes choking on it.
The room is wrong. The air smells like clean linen and rain instead of rot and river-sludge. For a breathless, terrible second, his mind insists this is a trick. He expects the press of bodies, the creak of a boat that never stops rocking. He expects Jordie’s weight. The stink of plague. The water.
His fingers curl, grasping for a cane that isn’t there, for something solid enough to anchor him to the present—but the present won’t settle. The past surges up instead, sharp as broken glass.
Don’t let go. Don’t—
He drags in air through his teeth. It hurts. His heart is galloping, a traitor, pounding like it wants out of his chest. Sweat slicks his spine. His body is already braced for pain that hasn’t arrived yet.
“Kaz?”
---
Kaz Brekker wakes up from the recurring nightmare where he's once again sinking to the bottom of the canals, into a body ten years older, that has grown and progressed and healed and weathered. But the nightmare has reduced him to his former self, all that work he's done slipping away.Bookmarked by HelloKittyGirl06

Summary
He slit the seal with his letter opener.
The words inside were brief, rushed. 'The Wraith will soon dock at Ketterdam. Please have a healer ready on standby.'
The signature was nothing but a mark—someone who had never written much in their life, or whose hand was shaking so violently they could barely force pen to paper.
That was all.
No elaboration. No flourish. No “Saints keep you, Kaz.”
Not Inej.
His pulse faltered for half a beat, then roared back, sharper, louder. Not Inej. She always wrote herself. Her hand was steady, her script precise, elegant in a way that reflected the discipline with which she lived.
In which, Inej is injured while out at sea and has to be rushed to Ketterdam to be treated. And Kaz, unlike the last time she lay unconscious bleeding out on a boat, decides stay with her the whole time.

Wednesday Night Dinners by fuckthepatriarchy82

Summary
Wylan would never admit it, but he worried about Kaz.
Granted, Kaz could take care of himself, very well, if Wylan recalled properly. But, it still gnawed on him sometimes. Kaz had a good number of enemies, a penchant for pissing people off, and an incapability to ask people for help. He had spent many long days at a time hearing nothing from him, wondering if he had finally made his way to the Barge, before receiving another knock at the door out of the blue.
Jesper loved those visits. Wylan hated them.
It was another one of those long stretches, the sixth day of it precisely, when he said to Jesper, “I think that I want to invite Kaz over for dinner.”
Jesper had blinked at him owlishly, before casually shrugging and saying, “Whatever you say, Wy.”

Summary
Kaz Brekker knew how to deal with pain. Most days he could push through it, stay focused, and get the job done. But it was the quiet moments when the pain was the worst—the moments when there was nothing to focus on but the dull ache in his bones that never fully faded. It was just enough to keep him on edge, to fill him with exhaustion but keep the relief of sleep out of reach. Tonight was one of those moments.

Summary
And now, on the outside, everything was as it had been. Being Dirtyhands was second nature. Even with the new memories that clawed from inside his chest and mingled in his nightmares with older ones, it was a part he was able to play. If he was a bit more grim, more paranoid and distant, those around him would attribute it to whatever reasons they thought most likely.
It was fine, really.OR: Kaz is captured and tortured. He copes with the aftermath.

Summary
"Kaz opened the door, and the sight of her was almost enough to make him forget everything — the pain, the guilt, the turmoil of emotion this day had been. A string of tension snapped, releasing him. She was at the window, dark hair loose to the wind, casually perched on it just like she used to, before everything. The crows she’d taken the time to feed fretted around her, recognizing her careful fingers. A younger one had nestled in her lap, and gently, she petted its ruffled feathers.
'Pretty' was nowhere near enough. She was every beautiful thing in the world.
Kaz found the breath he’d lost, and felt a tired smile bloom on his lips."
------
Six months after the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kaz Brekker begins to heal. It starts with a long-owed apology to a friend, and the return of the Wraith in Ketterdam.

Summary
Under them, Ketterdam roars, and the city needs to feed.
"Who's Jordie?" Jesper asks for the second time in his lifetime.
The first time he muttered the words it carried no meaning to him, an immediate reaction in the middle of a fight with his best friend. The sensation of free fall, of being in uncharted territory, because Kaz Brekker was born in the dirty canals of Ketterdam. He had no past. This time, it sounds simple, a careful knock on the door.
