Summary
Jesper Fahey had been infatuated with Kaz Brekker since he was seventeen, even when he was in love with another man. Now though, he was, once again, Kaz's right hand man, so even the fantasy of a relationship with him was too inappropriate to think about. Unless?
Kaz wasn't used to this though, he wasn't used to showing his heart, and he sure as hell wasn't used to touch. But Jesper was worth it, he wanted to do it for him.
But how do these two men, so desperate to love each other, manage to navigate through the beginnings of a relationship? Will it crash and burn, or will they manage to find the equilibrium of romance where they can both find peace?
Prequel to 'Kiss Me Like I'm Him'.
TW: strong language, sexual content, violence (verbal and physical)

Summary
It's been at least three years since Wylan, Inej, or Nina stepped foot on Ketterdam soil, so maybe they were naïve in thinking everything would be the same when they came back.
Inej was a powerful Captain now, but during this break from sailing, she wanted to open a new chapter with Kaz. Wylan, after coming back from fleeing to the Wandering Isles, was determined to make things right with Jesper and win him back. After Nina's time in Ravka, she wanted a break, and knew she could find comfort in her best friends.
Jesper and Kaz, both the Kings of the Barrel, knew this trip wouldn't go as well as the other three imagined, but no one was quite sure how wrong it was all going to go. By the end of it, is anyone even sure they're friends anymore, or were they just destined to be a quick match of a flame with one another? Strong when lit, but quick to burn out and crumble.

honey, tell me, are you good at staying still? by justhockey

Summary
Life feels so chaotic for Shane sometimes, with all the loud noises and the unwritten rules he’s expected to follow, even though no one ever taught them to him. It’s why the bookstore feels more like home to him than anywhere else in Boston. It doesn’t ask Shane to be anything other than himself. Doesn’t ask for any more than he can give.
He can just exist here.
Shane likes slow, likes taking his time. And Ilya - without saying or doing anything in particular - makes Shane feel like that’s okay. Like he isn’t doing anything wrong by standing still sometimes.
(Or, Shane works in a bookstore, Ilya plays hockey, and they both go to the same college. They fall in love in every universe.)
