Summary
He looks up, and the sun is blazing down ever still; that wide expanse of sky hugs them both like a familiar friend. Limits as he once knew them fade away like some distant memory of a past life.
He leans down towards Wylan, bringing his lips close to his ear.
“Ready, merchling?” he murmurs. Wylan turns his head to meet him earnestly in a kiss, chaste and lingering and sweet. His chest swells once more.
“If you are,” he grins, pressing his forehead into Jesper’s, pressing his lips to him once more.

Summary
Love was something beautiful, something precious- so much more precious than money or wealth. His mother had created a rose-colored world where love was everything- it was the whistle in the breeze, the sunrise and the sunset, the birdsong…
It wasn’t until she died that Jesper even began to understand how vibrant it was at all.
For most of his life, Jesper had thought it was normal to fall in love a little bit with almost every person you ever meet. It was really only until he made it to Ketterdam did he realize that wasn’t true. People weren’t full of love, like he was- they were full of hate.
Even in spite of that, the city was still… beautiful. It was a different type of beauty- a rougher, grittier beauty, but it was sharper too. If you rubbed against it wrong, it cut you.
or; brief glimpses of Jesper's life, as told through love

Soul to Burrow (Little Rabbit) — and other poems by sparrowmoth
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
11 May 2025
Tags
Summary
What started as a single poem and now might well become a small collection of Grishaverse poetry, as the mood strikes.
1. Jesper-centric poem about love and family and a life rooted back in Novyi Zem, branching out to reach a future love.
2. Wylan-centric poem about his insecurities growing up "worthless," and how he might be to blame for his mother's "death."
3. Wylan-centric poem about a disturbing dream sequence in which his father hunts and preserves faeries, like Wylan, as trophies.
4. Kanej poem from Inej's POV at sea and Kaz's POV in Ketterdam, in which the angst of yearning reaches far across the true sea.
5. Jesper-centric poem about the immediate aftermath of his mother's death, the burial process, and his feelings of grief and anger.

Summary
“All I heard was the crackle and the roar of the fire as I ran and ran and ran. I stopped when I hit a clearing that shouldn’t have been there by its own rights. The flames closed in from behind me and licked up towards the stars at twice my height.
And as I looked back down and across the un-affected tall grass, I caught a glimpse of what it was that I had absent-mindedly chased.
…
A boy, seemingly bathing himself in the fire, fair-skinned but somehow clean of any soot.” -

Summary
It’s a funny thought: the house beside the old jurda farm as home. It isn’t, really. It hasn’t been for a long, long time. Home became, at some point, his room above the Crow Club, where he could hear Kaz pacing around his office at night above him and the rowdy, boisterous noise from the club below. Home became his and Wylan’s shared room at the Slat. The one with the paint chipped walls and the leaky pipes and the brassy, artless key Wylan still wears around his neck, long after they’ve moved out. And after, slowly but surely, it became the Van Eck mansion; all the towered ceilings and too many rooms of it.
But the farm will always be home to him too, he supposes. The way the place you grew up will always be.
Or, a series of happenings at the Fahey family farm, one year post-Crooked Kingdom.

Summary
♤ GRISHAVERSE FANFIC ♤
Inej Ghafa, the infamous slaver-hunter of the True Sea, is set on a course to solve the mystery of human traffic to the north of Novyi Zem. And profit must be promised, after all, she dragged two of the most important merchants of Ketterdam-be it of legal or rather illegal businesses-across the sea: Kaz Brekker and Wylan van Eck (alongside his partner, Jesper Fahey).
It seems disappearances in the Zemeni coast have piqued the interest of the Ravkan Second Army as well, especially at the threat of Grisha power being involved. Adrik Zhabin and Leoni Hilli get sent to Zemeni lands in order to investigate these missing cases.
Will the two leads end on the same issue?

Summary
A budding collection of my favourite flashfic prompt fills written for the Wesper Fic Club discord.
Wylan runs like a deer through the moon-drenched meadow, never sure as he is now that someone is calling and it isn’t his father. He just needs to run. He just needs to get there. Where? He doesn’t know.
But he finds it—collides—with a warm, open chest, and two arms wrap around him and a voice whispers, “Shhhh,” as he’s wrenched down to the ground and pinned like prey between the bushes—
He looks up into the face of who he thought so long a dream.

Summary
When the man finally turns his gaze onto Kaz, armed with his kitchen knife and wisely keeping the weight off of his bad leg, he's shaking. Maybe it's pain, maybe it's just the effect the sight of Kaz Brekker has on him. Or maybe he, like most men, doesn't like to be made a complete fool of.
But know what Kaz doesn't like?
He doesn't like when brainless, sorry excuses for assassins break into his fucking house in the middle of the night, and he especially doesn't like it when that just so happens to interrupt sex.

Summary
“Right,” Jesper’s voice huffs from beside him, and he slams his glass down on the bartop so hard wine sloshes and spills over. “Get up,” he orders, terse, authoritative.
Kaz raises a single brow. What the hell is he doing?
Jesper bats the untouched wine glass out of his hands, emptying it onto the carpet. “I said get up, you useless podge!”
He slowly rises from his seat, only to get more cheers from the crowd.
“That’s a good boy,” Jesper purs.
Kaz is fairly certain he’s dying.
