kaz and inej are the OTP of all time fight me
SPOILERS
===================
When the duology started, Kaz and Inej refused to admit their feelings even to themselves.
Kaz pretended to only care about the investment he made in Inej.
Inej pretended she didn’t care as long as she paid off her contract.
Kaz can’t stand to be touched. By anyone.
Inej isn’t a fan of touch either.
Kaz never opens up emotionally to anyone.
Inej refuses to show any weakness for fear she will end up trapped again.
Then they start opening up... They both start admitting to themselves that they have feelings for the other, but don’t tell each other outright...
Kaz goes into a murderous rage when Inej is hurt getting onto the ship
Inej is saddened when she learns he never came to check on her while she was recovering
We learn that Inej is the only one who knows even some of the truth of why Kaz hates Pekka Rollins so much
Inej is the first one that Kaz looks to when Van Eck is talking about his weaknesses - because she is his greatest strength
To save herself from getting her legs shattered, Inej instinctively yells that Kaz will not come for her if she is taken out of commission as the wraith, a fear she has long held deep down. Then when a runner bursts through the door to tell Van Eck his wife is missing, she switches to “oh you screwed now”😂
Kaz rips the city apart, threatens Alys just to get Inej back because he knows that Alys’s unborn child is the only thing Van Eck cares about besides his businesses.
Once they are back together, Inej and Kaz work together without even thinking. They’re a team. They instinctively know each other’s movements and choices.
When Inej tells him she is surprised he came for her, since it took so long, Kaz tells her HE WOULD CRAWL TO HER if that’s what it took.
Kaz offers to help with her wounds so she’s not in so much pain.
Kaz tries to let her touch him, and to touch her
Inej lets him touch her and soothes him when he panics
And finally..
THE MAN PAID OFF HER CONTRACT
BOUGHT HER A BOAT BECAUSE HE HEARD HER MENTION LIKE TWICE THAT SHE WANTED TO GO AFTER SLAVERS ON THE SEAS
AND SENT OUT PEOPLE TO FIND HER PARENTS - BY APPEALING TO THE KING OF RAVKA/STURMHOND HIMSELF
And most importantly - Kaz doesn’t do this out of any expectations. Just out of love, to show he would go to the ends of the earth for Inej, and how much she really means to him after years of pushing her away and pretending not to care about her.
And, you may ask, what does he do when he finally presents this to her?
Ask if it’s okay if he did all that, and if his tie is straight because he’s about to meet her parents.
Get you a man like Kaz Brekker except there ain’t any 💜😭

stop saying "Kaz would be jealous and possessive over Inej if he thought she and Tolya liked each other" no he wouldn't! Kaz isn't like that! He defends Inej's freedom, autonomy, and desires at every single turn in the books. He spends the entire duology pining over her and yet gives her every single chance he possibly can to walk out of his life forever if she wants. It's the foundational cornerstone of their entire relationship! It's why they work in the first place!
literally the only Crow who does petty jealousy is Wylan and that's that on that, folks

Another Reason Why Kanej is Best Ship!
Even the villains ship it!
Pekka Rollin's addressed Inej as Brekker's Wraith Queen in the last chapter of Crooked Kingdom.
Tante Haleen thought Per Haskell bought Inej to "share" her with Kaz.
When Van Eck spoke with Inej near the beginning of CK, he said, "Your Mister Brekker" or "Your Hero."
He even said "I wonder which one will be more effective, torturing Mister Brekker or making him watch as I torture you." I know he's disgusting, but he clearly sees Inej as Kaz's weakness, and, therefore, ships it!
Even on the show, several times when Nina spoke with Kaz about Inej, she said "Your Wraith." Even Pekka said "Your Wraith," once.
At this point, I'm convinced that the entire world ships Kaz and Inej. The only ones oblivious to this are Kaz and Inej themselves.

I will always take any chance I have to remind people that Wesper knew each other for 5 months and had only been dating for a week when they decided to move in together while Kanej were best friends for two years before they so much as admitted they liked each other

💙for kanej, let’s goooooooo 🫶
drunken/tipsy kiss
For the record, Kaz is blaming Jesper for this one.
To be fair, Kaz blames Jesper for a lot of things. Like teaching Inej's male cousins the words to that stupid Kaelish love song, "Black is the Color," or some such thing, or insisting on trying to introduce color to Kaz's wardrobe, or the mangy orange and white cat that's taken up residence in the Slat. Granted, the last thing is not really Jesper's fault, but given time, and the proper motivation, Kaz is confident he can pin the blame on Jesper somehow.
Not this time, though. No, this time, this whole stupid situation is entirely Jesper's fault.
Jesper's fault, and the homemade moonshine that Colm Fahey brews with peaches and strawberries and wild ginger. He sent Jesper a jar of the stuff for the winter Kerst celebration, and now it seems like the entire Slat is near falling down drunk.
"It was one jar," Kaz says now, his tongue oddly thick. He hadn't been able to escape getting a glass shoved into his hand, so he'd looked at the seemingly innocuous pinkish-gold liquid and knocked it back without even thinking. He's had paint thinner that's milder than whatever brew this is. "How does one jar do all this?"
Inej is listing besides him, her long braid nearly coming undone. She says wisely, "Jesper says his da brews it with the fermented honey water. To give it, it, you know. Extra strength."
"All the Saints and their ugly mothers," Kaz mumbles and Inej swats at him, and misses by a mile. Which is a sign of just how potent this stuff is.
Inej had accepted a glass of moonshine from Jesper, tempered with water, and she'd danced with nearly everyone in the Slat--all the young kids, Anika, Pim, Roeder, Jesper, even Wylan, who let Inej drag him away from the upright piano someone shoved into the corner. No one's played it until tonight, until Wylan has started playing. Then someone got out a tin pennywhistle and another person dragged in a fiddler player from one of musician troupes that walk the Barrel busking inside, and the moonshine had flowed like water.
Music, wild and raucous and only slightly out of tune, poured out of the Slat, and the Dregs had danced like madmen, like heathens, howling at the winter moon. Kaz sat by the wall and watched; no one would ask Dirtyhands to dance, even if they didn't account for his leg. But he didn't mind watching Inej dance, her hair whipping around her, as she used her hands and feet to tell a story of a Saint defeating a monster on a mountain. Her hair is curtain of black silk in the light, and he wants to bury his face in it.
He blinks at the unguarded thought, shifting as Inej lists further and further, leaning into him more fully. "Sorry, sorry," she says, her s's oddly, delightfully sharp. Like a piece of ginger candy. "The room's dancing."
"The room's not dancing, you are," he says nonsensically and then gives up on shifting altogether. Inej is pressed up against him now, their layers of clothing between them prevent any skin on skin touch, but his heart pounds at her proximity anyways. He suspects that no matter how long he's gotten used to touching her, it always will.
"Did you like it?" Inej asks, a little dizzily. "Seeing me dance," she clarifies when he doesn't answer right away. "I didn't have the bell anklets, or the finger cymbals, but I think I got all the steps right. From what I could remember. Mama would do it better, though. Or Cousin Kathani."
Kaz couldn't tell her what they could do any better than Inej, and says so. Inej beams up at him, that smile he'd crawl over hot coals for, and for one glorious moment, leans her head on his shoulder. "One day I'll take you," she says, as the room continues to waltz and weave around them. "And you'll see me dancing. Properly, with jasmine and everything."
Later, he can blame this on the moonshine. Or the dancing room. Or the wild laughter and music still going around them, sealing them away from the outside world, and whatever consequences face them out there. But he finds himself pressing his lips to the crown of her head, lingering on the silky smooth strands, the scent of moonshine and the gardenia oil she uses on her hair. It lasts no more than second, but Inej's hands curl in the fabric of his waistcoat. Her breath catches in her throat, not in pain or fear, just dazed wonder.
He holds the moment as long as he dares, like a magician dragging out the climax of a trick before he releases the tension and settles back against the wall. Inej is still in his arms, and the room dances on all around them. Just this once, he can give Jesper and the moonshine credit.
