Summary
Kaz Brekker hadn’t wanted to go to college, but he had made a promise and it had given him the connections he needed to follow a man from his past and take him down permanently. Now, he’s come across something else: news about the Little Palace- the only all Deaf university and Fjerda- known for its anti-disability legislation. As a Deaf person himself, it’s hard not to get curious. A little digging later and with a job opportunity to break into the Ice Court, he has his goals set. But he still needs a team…
Inej Ghafa- D/deaf- A quiet observer with a little too much wit and the closest thing to a person Kaz can trust.
Jesper Fahey- Deaf- Kaz’s right hand and whose uncontrolled ADHD gives him an affinity for gambling.
Nina Zenik- Deaf- A Ravkan transfer who gave up life at the Little Palace for a boy that betrayed her.
Wylan Van Eck- hard of hearing, deaf- A boy still stuck under his father’s thumb, trying desperately to separate and go his own way.
Matthias Helvar-deaf- A Fjerdan transfer who gave up life at the Ice Court for a girl that betrayed him.
And of course, Kaz Brekker- Deaf- Someone who fought tooth and nail to get where he is and certainly isn’t going to stop now.Series

Somehow, Through the Storm by She_posts_nerdy_stuff

Summary
In the slums of the Warehouse District, Kaz and Inej are struggling their way through a seemingly unending winter. Wrapped up in a stranger's overcomplicated marriage contract that he is convinced is key to solving the merciless weather, Kaz remains busy and distracted for days on end, putting everything else at risk. So when a storm ravages the city and sweeps Inej into danger, the offer of safety, food, and a place to stay is an overwhelming one - no matter the cost. Terrified of mounting threats, Inej signs a contract - not knowing she would land herself trapped at the Menagerie.
Kaz signs a contract that states if he can walk all the way through the city and back to the Warehouse District with Inej behind him, never looking back at her, they will both go free. But this is the Barrel, the darkest part of the city where the rules of physics can change with the stroke of a pen; the journey back will not be the same as journey there…
*
This is a Hadestown-inspired reimagining of the tale of Orpheus and Eurydice, casting Kaz and Inej as our main characters and heavily featuring our beloved Crows, set in an alternate version of the Grishaverse with a different magic system based entirely on contracts. -

Summary
"Why did you get me out?"
“The first three rules of the Barrel.” had come the curt response, his clipped tone showing no indication that she would be answered properly. “One: never fold on the first round.
“Number two,” he turned to face her. “Never reveal all of the cards in your hand.” A weighted silence followed.
“And the third?” She prompted.
“Never make a deal without knowing what is on the table,” he lowered his gaze until his eyes locked onto hers. “And the price you are willing to pay for it.”
...
Inej and her daemon Pauk are rescued from the Menagerie by the daemon-less Dirtyhands in exchange for Inej's services as a spider for the Dregs. Jesper loses one too many bets and washes up in the bottom of the Barrel. Kaz brings them together for a job that could change the course of all three of their lives - as long as they can learn how to work together first.

Summary
Alina Starkov’s bones lay at the bottom of the Unsea before her name could ever be written into Ravkan records. Her first voyage through the Fold ended as most did—half the crew lost to wings and teeth. She had been unremarkable in life, unremarkable in death. Ravka carried on without her.
But fate, the Saints, or something darker had other plans.

Do Me A Favour (And Break My Nose) by LingerPaleBlueEyes

Summary
Nights like this made Kaz Brekker question his career choice.
If only he had some sense, maybe he’d have crawled out of that canal and opened a damn bakery instead; one of those little honest ones that feed the poor Ketterdam kids on Sundays. Instead, he was hunched over his desk, hands buried deep in his hair, trying to figure out how to get him and his gang out of this shit hole. He dragged his hand down his face.
A bakery. Right.
The profit margins alone would kill him faster than a knife fight, even if he bribed the stadwatch on health inspections.
No, better to stick with the devil he knew.
OR,
Kaz Brekker has had better days (or weeks, or months)—a few failed jobs, isolation, and a hint of exhaustion he'd never admit to are starting to take their toll. So when word gets around about a man who holds the information to leverage him against Pekka Rollins, Kaz does what any rational criminal mastermind would do.
He makes the worst decision of his life. -

Summary

After suffering Jordie’s death and his imprisonment and depraved abuse for seven years, he is rescued and placed into the Fahey home at the request of his new social worker Nadia. Terrified of who he views as his new captors and abusers, Kaz must learn what it’s like to live life without danger around every corner while Colm navigates how best to help his poor charge who has been to Hell and back. At the same time, the Crows help Kaz while going through their own struggles together as they all, Colm included, find joy and fulfillment in their lives together.

far away, long ago, glowing dim as an ember by ash_and_roses

Summary
Everyone knows about the siege that killed the Rietveld family, when Pekka Rollins took Kerch for himself. The only survivor was the eldest son, Prince Jordan, who was sent to Ravka, far away from Kerch.
But the people of Ketterdam, ever the ones to gossip, believe maybe someone else lived. The young Prince Kazran was never found. Maybe he was still alive.
Inej and Jesper decide to take that and run with it, when they meet Kaz Brekker, an amnesiac who's willing to go along with their scheme as long as he's getting a cut of the kruge they earn.

Summary
“You’ll be of no use to anyone if you collapse,” she pressed, the words stripped of softness but not care. “Don’t be a martyr.”
Kaz tilted his head, just enough to glance at her. There was something frayed about the gesture.
“I’m not going to collapse,” he muttered, though the breath behind it wavered.
Inej looked at him fully then, no hint of amusement in her face. His defences were cracked open enough for her to see what lay beneath them.
“You can’t lie your way through a fever.”
Or, Kaz falls ill overnight, and Inej notices before he wakes.

Or: Kaz arrives in his new foster home and everything goes wrong. Featuring Jesper and Wylan bickering, Inej being amazing and Marya Hendriks as the very patient foster-mom dealing with it all.
