A Night in Ketterdam

“What are you doing?” Wylan asked.
The lights were far too low for his own liking. The club was smokey and full of people. But Jesper was happy, and even if Wylan didn’t want to admit it; he was too.
Jesper looked up at Wylan from his seat at the gambling table. Wylan had left only for a moment to get a drink. It hadn’t been a surprise to see Jesper at one of the tables, already deep into a game. But it still made Wylan purse his lips.
Jesper gave a laugh, “I-uh… I was planning on winning something.”
Wylan rose a brow, “Winning what? More debt?”
“There’s no reason to be rude, Wy.”
Wylan nodded his head and tried his best to hide a grin. “Alright, well if you don’t leave then I guess I’ll head back to the Crow Club and let Kaz know where you are.”
That seemed to spark a sense of fear in Jesper’s eyes, for he jumped from his seat and wrapped an arm around Wylan, “No need for threats I was already leaving. Is that for me?” He asked as he plucked the drink from Wylan’s hands.
“That’s mine, actually.”
“Mm, well I like it. Thank you.”
“You’re buying me a new one, Jes.”
“I know, I know.”

Notes: there is so much I want to explain about this fanfic! But i have decided to let most of it to the plot.
First, this is an au set on Os Alta University in some version of modern Ravka and that means will have mentions of others Grishaverse’s characters. The most important thing that I want to let clear since the beginning: Kaz will not have full touch aversion, the same goes for Inej trauma, but don’t worry we will get the angst.
I’ll post this on AO3, but I’ll keep you guys updated here also!! You can find me on AO3 here.

The Jesper Honeypot Whump Oneshot (not yet finished, so not yet on ao3– snippets part 1, 2, and 3 here on tumblr)
Jesper ends up narrowly escaping a honeypot mission gone wrong. And, of course, as he’s sleeping off the drug in his and Wylan’s room, a stranger comes to call. The constabulary pointed him in the direction of the Crow Club— he’s looking for his son, Jesper? Cue a lot of very anxious crows.
Plus part 4– a snippet for @celestialcass
The actual mechanism of the job was quite simple— distraction, extraction, escape. Nothing was difficult, but some of it, according to The Bastard of the Barrel, takes time to be done properly. Stealing the laundry cart, and getting costumes as hotel security; making sure to be seen on a totally separate floor by at least three people before slipping into the service elevator and making their way up to the vaults; breaking into the right safe— it all took the better part of half past too damned long.
Long enough to have Wylan’s guts twisting in knots. Every time he dared to glance at Kaz, it was infuriatingly the same. He had his back to the door, utterly trusting Wylan to keep watch while he— at least, in theory— cracked the safe. But, he’d barely moved in what felt like hours.
He was about to whisper something harsh when, as if on cue, there was a click and the crunch of gears. The door swung open. Kaz even glanced back at him, a smirk on his face like he could hear Wylan’s thoughts.
He bit his tongue, and went back to keeping watch. It wouldn’t be long now. Just get the tiara, and let’s go.
In the lamplight of the corridor, he fidgeted, glancing this way and that, begging the universe to not have anybody walk their way. Please, please. They didn’t have the time for that.
Fiddling with the cuff of his itchy uniform, Wylan glanced down and paused. His heart clenched in his chest, and he sucked in a slow breath. Letting it out long, he watched as the two rings on his hand glittered side by side in the light.
Wylan thought this was a bad idea from the start.
Kaz had called him a jealous little boyfriend— and maybe, hopefully, he was partially right. Wylan had never wanted so badly to be wrong about a hunch. As long as Jesper was safe, it would be worth it to get another one of those I told you so smirks.
But, Wylan Van Eck was nobody’s boyfriend— jealous little fiancé, he had corrected. It made Jesper laugh. He had scooped Wylan’s hand into his, slipping his own ring onto Wylan’s middle finger, beside his own. He called it safekeeping, and kissed the spoon-made silver rings on his knuckles, one and then the other.
It’s only an hour or two, merchling, Jes had shrugged, and then I’ll be back by your side.
Now, if Wylan wasn’t mistaken, they were coming up on the end of that second hour, and Jesper Fahey was due to be back where he belonged. No worse for wear, a smile on his handsome face, and his own ring back on his hand. Wylan only saw the mark for a split second, but he didn’t like the look of him, and he—
There was a quiet whistle, and two taps of a cane against the floor.
The signal.
While I take the service elevator back down to the laundry room, you’ll take the servant’s stairs through the back of the building. Go down to the bar, he remembered Kaz delivering the plan. Your presence will warn Matthias, Nina, and Jesper that it’s time to get moving.
Then, we meet at the escape cart, and Annika drives us out the back loading dock.
Clear?
Crystal.
Every step he took brought him closer to this night being over. Inej got her ledger of slavers, Kaz got his crown, and Wylan got Jesper back. Done.
Except, when he reached the bar, Jesper was gone. He was nowhere in the whole place. Even Nina was gone. Matthias, too.
Wylan’s pulse skyrocketed in his ears. Something was very wrong.

The Crows: Their aesthetic if they lived in our universe
feel free to disagree <3
when I tell you I am CONVINCED Inej is an alternative grunge
like just imagine her in these insanely pretty skirts with thousands of zipper
overall just zippers
I think Inej is a zipper-gal
and small chains
I also think she'd have like every possible piercing
but definitely a lip piercing and nose piercing
you can't tell me otherwise
and she'd absolutely rock docmartens and those boots with insanely thick platforms
Jesper would either be Mediterranean summer aesthetic or baggy colourful style
but I'm leaning towards baggy
although this one's tricky
I really can't tell definitely
Wylan is academia or soft boy
100%
I think this is established
but I do think the soft boy would fit him more
because of the blueish, light reddish colors
I think he would love some color accents in his outfits
Kaz is the classy, business guy
everything black or just chrome
shirts always on fleek
you get it
(just imagine him, the classy mafia boss, with his girlfriend Inej, the moody alternative badass everyone's afraid of)
(when I tell you I am screaming)
Matthias is the baggy clothes guy
he defiantly goes for comfort over style
and I also think Nina would make him care about his outfits 100times more
Nina is the trickiest one in my opinion
like she gives me cottage core vibes
but at the same time femme fatale, coquette or self-made rich girl
so I'd have to say she's kind of all of these
the healthy mix
and she absolutely slays that
