Kaz Brekker x reader
summary: when Kaz Brekker is poisoned by a hallucinogen, it’s not Jordie he sees, it’s you || warnings: poisoning, death, revenge, pekka rollins || word count: 698 || masterlist
Tumblr media
Kaz could feel himself falling backwards but can’t stop it. He closes his eyes and lets the darkness consume him.
The warmth around him takes him by surprise and he opens his eyes to find himself on the floor of a merchants shop. You’re standing behind the counter. You, who used to be friends with Kaz before everything and grew up with him and Jordie. Even after everything happened, you kept in touch, always offering a helping hand when you could.
"What brings Kaz Brekker into my shop at this time of day?"
One last thing, you were also dead. You had died at sixteen when the Dime Lions had raided your store and taken everything you’d worked so hard to get. Kaz had been the one to find you that morning. He had sat opposite your body, unable to touch you but unable to look away. He had done everything he could to make sure you were buried nicely and left in peace for the rest of time.
You hadn’t deserved the hand you’d been dealt and to see you standing in front of him now was jarring, to say the least. The woman in front of him now wasn’t the sixteen year old that had died, you were the same age as Kaz, all grown up like you should’ve been.
"Kaz?"
Kaz took a breath. "You’re dead."
"Everyone dies at some point Kaz. I know I’m dead because I’m not actually here. This is all in your mind Kaz, so enjoy yourself."
"What?"
You lift yourself onto the counter. "Your mind showed you me for a reason, what are you searching for?"
Kaz stayed silent, pulling himself to his feet. It was then that he realised, he wasn’t wearing his gloves, his hands were bare.
"What do you want Brekker?"
"I want revenge." Kaz’s expression hardened. "I want Pekka Rollins dead, for me, for Jordie and for you."
"Kaz, he doesn’t even know who you are."
Kaz sneered, "He knows Kaz Brekker."
"And I’ve known you since before Kaz Brekker was even born." You say to him. "Don’t lecture me about the past."
"If you have all the answers, what are you here for?" Kaz angrily asked, getting more annoyed at your mirage.
"There are never many options in this world Kaz, especially in Ketterdam, you need to learn to use what you have."
"Stop speaking in riddles."
"We all have demons Kaz Brekker. You don't forget about them and they don't go away."
"What the fuck does that even mean?"
You laugh at his misery and confusion. "You need to wake the fuck up. You're living in the past, letting your ghosts dictate your future and letting yourself be led by them instead of by yourself."
"Says the ghost."
"I'm telling you to move on Kaz. Wake up and do something for you, not me or Jordie." Your voice was getting louder and louder, trying to get Kaz to listen to you.
"Do something for me!? I've only been doing things for me my whole life. If I didn't, I'd me dead. My hands are covered in blood I've spilt, for me!"
"Look at your hands Kaz Brekker."
He does look down at his ungloved hands. They're absolutely impeccable and spotless, if a little pale.
"If you are the infamous ‘Dirtyhands’, get your hands dirty Kaz Brekker. Get your hands fucking dirty!" You yell. "Stop being a coward and stand up."
Kaz snapped his eyes opened, pushing someone's hand away from him as he took his first real breath in minutes. The harsh reality of your words was starting to sink in, except they weren't really your words.
How was he supposed to move on the way you wanted him to? He had to make your death worth something, make your life worth something even more. How was he supposed to forget everything that had happened?
But you had also said that demons are always there. So he should use his demons however he wants because they're his demons. They do what he wants and the whole world is at his fingertips...
All you have is your fire and the place you need to reach.

Quick clip of a later scene from Nikolai’s POV! Spoilers for THG with Nikolai Lantsov if you haven’t started
Tumblr media
Laying there, on the ground, he remembers.
As the sky seems to break above him, strange explosions filling the sky of the arena, as fire burns in the distance and smoke singes his nose, as your body grips his own weakly, a warm sensation in his abdomen growing stronger by the second.
He remembers.
You.
It was before you’d ever kissed him. Before he’d ever tried. At a Capitol party during the Christmas season the two of you found yourselves at a gala, the entire place decorated like a winter wonderland. Your dress had been white then—or was it silver? The blood loss is making it difficult to remember but—
—yes. He remembers.
You’d worn tiny crystals in your hair, long and unbound, one hand clasped in Jem’s, the other in Xiomara’s. The two women of your prep team screeched with laughter, the three of you sounding like tropical birds as you spun wildly to what was meant to be a slow dance in the middle of the ballroom floor.
Other members of the Capitol had watched in shock, then amusement, then pure delight as you laughed, head tipped back, a wide grin on your gorgeous face as you danced with your prep team. Your friends. The only girls in the Capitol you considered family.
Nikolai remembers leaning against the wall, trapped in a conversation with well-meaning Capitol men, his eyes locked on you. You’d glanced over, just once, and the joy on your face hit him like a knife to the heart. Oh, you. He’d thought. How could he have ever deluded himself into thinking he wasn’t yours?
How had he not realized he loved you?

Notable/Favorite works:
What We Would've Become
“A hand seizes her wrist. It’s encased in cool leather, and she remembers it clutching at her in a chapel in Ravka. Remembers the voice that came with it, saying Stay.”
Rating: G / Quirks: Developing Kanej, Showverse/Book Blend (post-s2), pre-IC heist, Post-Canon (showverse), Canon divergence (book verse)
The Strangeness of Home*
She shakes her head, feeling befuddled. “I don’t know what to tell them, Papa. What do I say?” He smiles sadly at her, and gently tucks a strand of hair behind her ear. “You say whatever you need to. Tell them as much or as little as you want. It is your story to tell, when–if–you want to tell it.”
Rating: M / Quirks: Inej Centric, Post-canon, Visit to Ravka (Inej only), Inej's parents, Inej's relatives, Angst with a Happy Ending, Minor Kanej
*a good standalone story with a follow up (the unexpected visitor) but also that one can be read a separate too. While Kanej is not the primary focus I would highly rec for the feels.
The Unexpected Visitor (WIP)
So yes, she can admit that this visit is a long time coming. At this point, his myth is nearly as grandiose among the caravan as it is in Ketterdam. It’s a recipe for disaster.
Rating: M / Quirks: Established Kanej, Post-canon, Inej's parents, Inej's relatives, Angst, Fluff, Healing! So much healing, a lot of hurt but healing, Inej and her Dad actually having a moment (it's what we deserve), Kaz and Inej's mom having moments, Inej's parents love Kaz... I can't stress enough people actually love Kaz and hate him too
Operation Kanej (WIP)
“The point,” Nina says, “is that Inej and Kaz clearly have feelings for each other, and would clearly make a great power couple, but are both too emotionally constipated to admit it. So we need to, you know, give them a little shove.”
Rating: G / Quirks: Kanej, Modern AU, Crows Friendship, Established Wesper & Helnik, meddling Crows!, Humor, Fluff, Gaslighting
