    Summary

    That was maybe the worst part of this whole thing. More than the broken ribs, the immense general anxiety, and the millions of steps involved to send your father to prison and take over his business—Wylan couldn’t kiss Jesper.

    -

    or, snapshots from the first nine days of Wylan and Jesper living together in the Van Eck mansion after the auction. Documents are signed, conversations are had (at varying levels of seriousness), and due to circumstance, kisses are temporarily banned throughout it all.

    Summary

    "No matter which borough, no matter which train, it was always the same. Person after person—eyes blank, eyes unseeing. He may as well have been a ghost. But that didn’t really surprise him at this point. After all, as far as the world knew, Wylan Van Eck was dead."

    When Jan Van Eck's attempt to murder his own son fails, Wylan must learn to disappear in the streets of the city that never sleeps. But Jesper Fahey doesn't plan on letting Wylan fade away quite so easily.

    Summary

    When Wylan’s normally called for his expertise in breaking handcuffs, the way it goes depicts the more brutal side of the Barrel.

    That’s what he prepared himself for. The gore and grime, broken bones and whatnot.

    What he hadn't prepared himself for was seeing the most beautiful boy before him, stark naked, with a lone wrist handcuffed to the frame of the bed…

    meet-cute, one shot, good ole fashioned banter ♥️

    Summary

    So Jesper had explained the whole story, of how every time he thinks of marriage he accidentally uses his powers to make a ring, and how Wylan doesn’t know any of this, and how until one of them proposed to the other, Jesper was simply doomed to accidentally make every metal object in his range an engagement ring because he wanted to marry Wylan so badly it was a little insane.

    “I think this is an extremely easily avoidable problem, Jesper,” Nina tells him, rolling her eyes and Matthias nods in agreement. Jesper was on the floor of the Slat, and he made no attempt to stand up. “Just propose to him.”

    Summary

    Wylan keeps waiting for it all to go wrong.

    Ever since that first night, after they beat Pekka Rollins, ever since the night after that, when it wasn’t over. Every morning since, when it still wasn’t.

    Happiness isn’t reliable. Peace is not permanent. People do not stay. This is what Wylan knows; it’s the only proven hypothesis he has any reason to trust. And every day, he wonders how long he has left before everything good that’s happened over the last month is inevitably whisked away.

     

    Or: the scenic route to the Van Eck reveal. Wylan Van Eck, in the months following the Crow’s return to Ketterdam. Struggling with his past, relearning love in its many forms, and worrying an awful lot about how to keep it.
