Summary
Something grabs at the back of his coat and suddenly he’s flying, pulled up out of the water to land in a sodden heap in a small rowboat, the world’s most ungainly fish. He scrabbles away from his rescuer, expecting to feel pain again, his father’s men back to finish the job. Instead there’s a boy with light brown skin and grey eyes, the most handsome face he’s ever seen.
As he casts around, confused, he finds himself looking into a pair of boundless dark eyes, a pale face cold as canal water. “Wylan Van Eck?” the man asks, his voice like rust, his tone as formal as if they’re being introduced at some banquet. Wylan is too startled to do anything but nod.
Pekka Rollins and Jan Van Eck have made a deal. Kaz Brekker wants to sabotage it. What better way than to take Van Eck's son hostage on his way to music school?
Meanwhile, Jesper wants the cute merchling they've kidnapped to smile at him, and Wylan just wants to survive the night.

Summary
When Jan Van Eck, Connecticut's Republican senator, makes a $30 million donation to Yale University, Kaz Brekker suspects foul play between him and the university president, Dr. Pekka Rollins. There's foul play, alright, but not the kind he expected. He also didn't expect to meet his five closest friends in the process of trying to take Dr. Rollins down. Yet, here they are, crammed into a restaurant booth like normal college students, celebrating over waffles after uncovering one of the biggest political scandals that America has ever seen (unlike normal college students).
(Alternatively, the Crows take Yale University by storm. Includes both textfic and prose.)

Summary
Philip ‘tsks’ and hands him a napkin. “It’s just mass, love. Nothing to get so worked up about.”
He doesn’t dignify that with a response until he’s mostly cleaned up. “Now, dear,” he says carefully, “if you want to go, you are more than welcome to do so. I, however, will be at home with Jelly watching our baking show.” He narrows his eyes. “Why do you want to go?”
“Curiosity mostly,” Philip says mildly. “I’ve heard so much about your priest in Chimney Rock. Why not pop in for a visit?”
Blanc sets his mouth in a firm, thin line and begins the spiel Philip hears every Easter. “It is an institution built on racism, misogyny, homophobia—“
“—traits you’ve been very clear Father Jud does not possess—“
“—you are being intentionally difficult—“
Philip huffs. “Love, I’m not asking you to convert. I just simply am feeling a little nostalgic for my choir boy days.”
“Then you go.”
“You two could catch up,” Philip points out, completely sidestepping his argument. “What’s he been up to since the murder?” For the second time, Blanc is left dumb. His husband waits a moment before quirking an eyebrow. “You haven’t kept in contact,” he more surmises than asks.
