The kid in front of Haskell’s desk was hell to look at— a plague orphan, he could tell that much. His face and neck were still marred with the slightly reddish pits that the pox left behind, even months later, and he was gaunt with sickness and malnutrition, bones jutting hard and nasty. They’d have pinned him down as a weakling, before the plague. But that was before. Now, in the miserable, scraping afterwards, not only was he alive, but half the gambling halls and gangs on the Lid were desperate to have him— or so Seeger said, anyway. Haskell didn’t know why this kid wanted to be in the Dregs, when the Razorgulls were practically throwing cash at him, but he wasn’t going to count his chickens. Maybe he preferred crows to gulls.

I know some fic writers get stressed about writing tropes they think are too popular or overdone, and I need you all to know that I just spent 4 hours reading every iteration of the same exact fic plot I could find, and they all brought me an indescribable amount of joy. Listen. Listen. Sometimes you want cakes of many flavours and sometimes you want Nine Carrot Cakes

thinking about how kaz lost a sibling and gained four. like he literally saw jordie in jesper. he got to be an older brother to wylan the same way jordie was to kaz. he bickered with nina and matthias like they were his siblings. thinking about how when matthias died it was probably a bit like losing a brother all over again

I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.

me when “i didn’t grow into someone he can be proud of after he did all that” and “youre not proud of me?” and “if i yell at him ill never stop yelling at him” and “why my dad cant feel the way dads are supposed to feel about me” and “i dont even like me that much” and “he did this for me and he doesnt even like me”
