Once again, she was dreaming of him.

Even in her dreams, Matthias Helvar haunted her just as much as she seemed to haunt him in his. Nina rolled on the big bed that felt too empty and too cold for her, no matter how heated the rooms were or how warm her bed covers were, the piercing cold temperature of the True Sea was making her shiver and tremble in the comfort of her room.

She was using her power on him and he was supposed to swim for them, that was the deal. “C’me on you big brute! Where is the ferocious Drüskelle training?!” she practically begged. Nina liked swimming, but being in the middle of a storm in the middle of the sea was terrifying. The waves crashed against them and Nina spent most of the time coughing and holding onto him, trying to keep him warm with her powers. She knew it wasn’t his fault, there was only so much he could do. If only she were a tidemaker or a squaller…

“Hurry!” She urged him but the large wave crashed right onto them, dragging them into the depths of the True Sea.

Nina opened her eyes, gasping for air and coughing as if she had been drowning in her bed.

Her heartbeat was off the charts and it took her a moment to use her gifts on herself until she could breathe properly. Nina ran a trembling hand through her face and hair before checking on her phone: 1:30 am. She thought about texting him, the urge to check up on him was strong, but she then admonished herself.

He’s not a baby, Nina. It was just a nightmare.

So she let her body collapse against all the pillows and closed her eyes. She didn’t want to sleep, the memories of the shipwreck and her captivity still chased her through her dreams. The bullying, the torture, the starving… the thirst.

Saints, Nina had never been thirstier. She had never thought she would crave so much for something as simple as a glass of water, like she did during those days chained in that ship. It seemed almost ironic; how could someone be so thirsty while also being surrounded by that much water? Just when she thought she was going to pass out of thirst, he came. Oh, if only he hadn’t given her that glass of water.

“I do like you.”

“What was that?”

“I do like you,” he said angrily.

She’d beamed, feeling a well of pleasure erupt through her. “Now, really, is that so bad?”

“Yes!” he roared.

“Why?”

“Because you’re horrible. You’re loud and lewd and . . . treacherous. Brum warned us that Grisha could be charming.”

“Oh, I see. I’m the wicked Grisha seductress. I have beguiled you with my Grisha wiles!”

She poked him in the chest.

“Stop that.”

“No. I’m beguiling you.”

“Quit it.”

She danced around him in the snow, poking his chest, his stomach, his side. “Goodness! You’re very solid. This is strenuous work.” He started to laugh. “It’s working! The beguiling has begun. The Fjerdan has fallen. You are powerless to resist me.”

And then the ground give up on her and Nina fell. She grasped the edge of the ground and held on for her life, the ground was so cold that it burnt her skin. She felt the Drüskelle holding her arms, preventing her from slipping into the pit. Her legs were suspended on the air and her furs had already vanished in the void. Nina looked up at him, her green eyes filled with tears. “Please”.

He had been trying to help her, that was until her eyes connected and it was as if something within him switched. Somehow, Matthias’ eyes looked even colder than the Permafrost.

“No, please”, Nina begged, but it was too late. She always thought that hatred was something that burnt within someone, but no, hate was cold, it wasn’t fire, it was ice. The witch hunter didn’t let go of her, but rather pushed her into the void as he muttered the word ‘Drusje’.

This time Nina woke up crying; hot, fat tears rolling down her cheeks as she panted heavily and sobbed inconsolably. That wasn’t what actually happened, Matthias did help her, but that nightmare was very present in her sleeping hours. Back in the Permafrost, there was a moment in which she thought he was going to let her fall and she sometimes wondered if, right now, whatever they had was real or was just part of a big scheme to punish her for what happened in that village.

Nina grabbed her phone and scrolled through her social media as she tried to calm herself down. She sniffed as her finger moved through the screen. Before she knew it, she opened his text messages and started to type one but then paused. She was being too annoying, looking for his validation when half of her dreams about him consisted on him murdering her. Whether it was by letting her drown in the sea or falling into that pit in the Permafrost.

Sometimes Nina would dream of the two of them entangled in warm and fluffy furs, finally succumbing to their passions, eager to touch and please one another until his large hand would grab her by the throat. She would always smile at first, thinking it was a kink of his, but then the grip on her would become tighter and tighter and his warm and affectionate gaze would turn stone cold. Nina would tell him to stop, but that would only encourage to squeeze harder until she blacked out.

The Grisha felt the cold shivers running down her spine. “For Saint’s sake, Nina” she whispered bitterly, placing her phone away and turned over on the bed.

She closed her eyes, rnot at all eady to jump into the next nightmare when her phone buzzed in the darkness. “Fucking Kaz, he better not…” she began as she grabbed her phone and stopped when she saw his name instead:

I dreamt you turned into the moon and filled every night of mine with laughter.

It was both embarrassing and pathetic how fast the smile came to her lips.

I am a very funny lady. She wrote and hit send. What a clown. No, that wasn’t enough.

I love you, and I wish you were here with me. She sent right after and his answer arrived even faster.

Me too, Little red bird.

"You’re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar.”

I was so torn up on whether I wanted to draw Nina with her hair down or with the hairstyle she has in the show, but why choose one when you can have both?😌✍️🌸

Favourite/Funniest Line's from Crooked Kingdom

"Let's go." "Me?" "No the idiot behind you."

"How is-" "Nina is fine. Jesper is fine. Everyone is fine except for me because I am stuck with a gang of hand-wringing nursemaids."

"Now why can't people be this easily trained?" Kaz murmured as he crouched to oblige the dog with a belly rub.

"Did you know I am next in line for the Fjerdan throne? They call me Princess Ilse of Engelsberg." "There is no princess of Engelsberg. It's a fishing town."

"Has anyone noticed this whole city is looking for us, mad at us, or wants to kill us?" "So?" "Well, usually it's just half the city."

"Big, blond and blind. The Fjerdan way."

"If I live I'll buy you waffles." "You don't have enough money to buy her waffles."

"Do you know what Van Eck's problem is?" "No honor?" "Rotten parenting skills?" "Receding hairline?"

"Isn't that how things are done around here? We all tell Kaz we are fine and the do something stupid?" "Are we that predictable?" "Yes."

"It seems everyone is forming alliances." "They're called friendships Kaz."

"You are very welcome Nina Zenik. You may repay me in the costumary way." "Waffles?" "Lots of them."

"I need to do this. I've never been to my mother's grave. I am not leaving Kerch without saying goodbye." "Trust me, you care more than she does."

"You are stupid about a lot of things Wylan, but you are not stupid. And if I ever hear you call yourself a moron again, I am going to tell Matthias you tried to kiss Nina. With tongue." "He' ll never believe it." "Then I 'll tell Nina you tried to kiss Matthias. With tongue."

"Come on, let's do steal all my dad's money. "Isn't it your money?" "Okay, let's go steal it back."

"I think you 'd flirt with a date palm if it would pay you any attention." "If I flirted with a plant, you can bet it would stand up and take notice."

"Yes, yes, Nina Zenik is hungry. Now, will someone feed me before I am forced to cook one of you?" "Don't be ridiculous. You don't know how to cook."

"On a dare I ate a literal through full of waffles and nearly went back for seconds."

"Pick up the pace." "If I spill a single drop of this it will burn straight through the floor onto my father's dinner guests." "Take your time."

"I am Dunyasha, the White Blade, trained by the Sages of Ahmrat Jen, the greatest assassin of this age." "Doesn't ring a bell."

"Fate brought me here." "And does fate pay your wages?"

"My parents thought I would drown because I crawled into the sea as a baby, laughing." "Perhaps they were worried you would talk yourself to death."

"Kaz. You may not be glad we are alive, but we are glad you are alive."

"You are better than waffles, Matthias Helvar." "Let's not say things we don't mean, my love."

"Are you mad?" "I'd probably be happier if I was."

"You have to be the craziest bastard I ever met." "I'll take that as a compliment."

"My leg! My leg!" "I recommend a cane."

"What is wrong with him?" "Same thing that's always wrong with him. He's Kaz Brekker."

Jesper followed Wylan down the hall. "Hey." Wylan kept going.

"Jes, I 've thought about this-" "Thought of me? Late at night? What was I wearing?"

Wylan ran his tongue over his lips and spat in his father's face.

He was pale, with tufty orange brows and a hunched posture that gave him the look of a giant shrimp.

He felt bad for the guy. Not bad enough to wake him up and untie him, but still.

"I 've been shot!" He had not been shot.

"How about I push you in the canal and we see if you know how to swim?"

"Tell you what. When the day comes, mark it on your calendars. I can think of a lot of people who 'll want to throw a party.

"Wait. Is my tie straight?"

matthias helvar x sister!reader (kaz or jes x reader (you can choose))

“i’m either going to kiss this man or stab him with a knife. i’ll know which in about 10 minutes.”

the crows has rubbed off on his younger sister much more than he'd like to admit, haha

♡ kiss or kill - k.b ♡

pairing; kaz brekker x reader

category; humour, fluff

summary; matthias was worried, at first, that kaz may be taking advantage of his sister. there was no cause for concern

warnings/content; references to violence and stabbing, references to kaz's touch aversion

other; fem!reader, helvar!reader, but no descriptions used to keep inclusivity <3

matthias had always thought of kaz as evil, hence the endearing nickname of demjin. so when you announced to him your relationship with the demon, he felt physically faint.

he gave you a weak smile, and wondered how he could possibly threaten someone like kaz brekker into treating you well. nina assured him she'd take care of that, and he adamantly believed she could.

matthias was strength, a soldier, but nina? she was... nina.

the nagging fear that kaz was using you as a means to an end did not leave his head for one moment, though for the life of him, he couldn't figure out how the boy could gain any sort of money from the relationship.

of course, you shut him down fast when he shared those worries with you, not unkindly, but firmly.

"matt, it's nothing like that. this... me and kaz, has been going for longer than any of you knew, though wylan definitely clocked a while back." you'd reassured him with a brief hug - you were always the more affectionate out of the two of you.

matthias set his jaw, knowing your mind was made up and knowing better than to try and persuade you otherwise, "alright, alright. but you know you have me if anything happens. it'll take me a while to trust... this."

you nodded, before skipping off, and his heart sunk at the action. despite everything the world had put you, and all the crows through, was there still naivety in you? or were you simply happy? was that the same thing?

but he quickly learnt his fears were misplaced. the danger did not lie with kaz hurting you, it lied with him getting you arrested for murder.

matthias had never seen the demjin so carefree until he saw the two of you together, when you thought you were alone. kaz's genuine laughter was a disconcerting sound.

before they realised he had entered the room, he noted you were only half amused, the other fifty percent of your expression annoyance, though it lacked any true malice.

"kaz brekker, i will cut you right here!"

and the demjin just kept laughing.

by now, all the crows knew about kaz's aversion to touch, and dislike him though he sometimes did, matthias knew where to draw the line with a man, and trauma like that certainly chalked it out clearly.

kaz couldn't give you physical affection, but that was not something he'd factored into his worry when he analysed the relationship.

so to see the boy squeeze your ungloved hand with his own leather adorned one in way of goodbye before dodging out the back exit, was a shock, suffice to say.

he decided that was the moment to make his presence known with a cough. you turned to him with a smile,

"someone took my waffle. i thought it was him, but he said nina hid it in her room so she could have it later, i'm gonna go look in a minute," you explained, "i'm either going to kiss the man, hypothetically of course, or stab him. we'll know which in about ten minutes."

and the thought ringing through with clarity in that moment was not distaste of kaz, as it had been for a week or two, but,

he's going to get her locked up if he keeps annoying her.

before, even clearer,

he's happy. and so is she.

and he remembered - just like himself, you had been raised by wolves, even in a country that discouraged women to be so strong. kaz brekker could tackle, head on, many forces, but you were not one of them. nor would he have reason to do so.

I feel like Helnik is super underrated. Dont get me wrong I love Kanej and Wesper, but Helnik is also awesome. Like:

“Matthias Helvar, you are better than waffles”

“Lets not say things we don’t mean, love”

This shit is comedic gold, they’re just two kids trying to deny their connection. On top of that they’re so devoted to each other it’s like no one else exists. Helnik is fucking epic and no one can tell me other wise.

*Mild Crooked Kingdom Spoilers!*

Just thinking about how one day Danielle Galligan will say “You’re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar,” and then Calahan Skogman will say “Let’s not say things we don’t mean, my love,” on screen in real life and how I will cry and rewind it and watch it a thousand times.

Anyway, that’s where I’m at, what about you guys?

quote from Six of Crows that butter my biscuits

- “I am home.”

- “She laughed, and if he could have bottled that sound and gotten drunk on it every night it he would have. It terrified him.”

- “Matthias was dreaming again. Dreaming of her.”

- “I would have come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together –– knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”

- “I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.”

- “You’re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar.”

- “This action will have no echo.”

- “I have been made to protect you. Even in death, I will find a way.”

- “Men mock the gods until they need them, Kaz.”

Crooked Kingdom Quotes I Love:

We meet fear. We greet the unexpected visitor and listen to what he has to tell us. When fear arrives, something is about to happen.

What you want and what the world needs are not always in accord, Kaz.

Fear is a phoenix. You can watch it burn a thousand times and it will return.

If you couldn't beat the odds, you changed the game.

And that was what destroyed you in the end: the longing for something you could never have.

But what about the rest of us? What about the nobodies and the nothings, the invisible girls? We learn to hold our heads as if we wear crowns. We learn to wring magic from the ordinary. (to all the girls who feel they are ordinary- you matter, you are powerful and you are loved❤)

When the world owed you nothing, you demanded something of it anyway.

I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting. (kanej😍😍😍)

You’re better than waffles, Matthias Helvar.

can i request something? A Kaz Brekker x reader imagine where they are dating and the reader is like super short, and just like some fluff with that! can you include kaz patting her head and something like that? imma short person and i gotta represent lol ty! :) fem!reader btw

Kaz Brekker x short! reader headcanons

Also. I’m doing this in the form of headcanons, which I hope is cool!

Fic type- fluff

warnings- mentions of blood and knives

Being short, of course, had it’s bonuses.

On missions, you got to play the part of the shy, innocent girl just looking for a good time, a fun tumble, and some easy money.

You could squeeze through tight spaces almost better than Inej could, and your height was something that the old men who liked to sit and gamble found attractive, so it made you a good enough player at the shy flirtatious game while Kaz and the others did the more difficult things.

Jesper had often said you made for good hugs, because when he embraced you after a long mission, he could always tuck your head right under his chin.

Nina said that you were the best cuddler she’d ever met, perfect for the part of little spoon.

Matthias said your height made you easy to lift.

Wylan said that you looked exceptionally adorable when trying to reach high shelves.

Inej could admire that you were quick on your feet due to your smallness.

Kaz liked that you were short, of course, but more so that you were short and vengeful.

When you got angry, it was almost as though the anger added a couple inches and put you closer to 5′10 than 5′3. Kaz had been around you when someone had done something to piss you off, and the result wasn’t the prettiest thing. nor was it the easiest to clean up.

But, even despite the fact that your friends loved how small you were, even getting Inej in on some of their jokes, despite the fact that she had half an inch on you, if even that, they teased you relentessly about it at the same time.

“Need some help getting the peanut butter, short stuff?” Jesper had asked as you leaned against the counter of Wylans kitchen. It was just a couple hours after dinner, and you’d gotten hungry.

He’d ended up getting the peanut butter for you, though, so you counted that as a win.

Matthias would purposefully hold food or clothes or plan documents up in the air, knowing full well that you couldn’t reach them unless you preformed the acts of an acrobat.

Nina would ask you if you needed help when you clearly did, but refuse to offer it for a solid few minutes.

Wylan didn’t tease you very often, aside from one time where he’d convinced Jesper to pick you up and hold you so that you had the same eye level, then take you around The Slat so that you could see what life looked like when you were 6′3.

Kaz didn’t tease you at all, though. In fact, he was the one to stop the teasing when he could tell you’d been getting tired of it.

“Helvar, give her the documents. She needs those.”

“Nina, just get her the damn strawberries!”

“Jesper, I swear to god, if you take her around The Slat while holding her like shes some aggressive cat about to scratch your eyes out, I’ll freaking let her!”

But there was this one time, just this one!

Kaz and you had been getting closer. You’d walked back from the mission standing so close that you could take his hand if you dared, but you didn’t. You stood, watchful by his side, silent, listening to the quippy banter that Jesper and Inej called a conversation.

But then, completely and utterly out of nowhere, you felt a gloved hand meet your head and ruffle your hair.

“Brekker,” you whispered. “I thought you weren’t gonna tease me for it, and here you are, ruffling my greasy hair like Wylan would!” You turned to look at him, catching the ghost of a smile on his face as he nodded, shrugging.

“Couldn’t resist,” he said simply. “Let’s get back to The Slat and get some waffles and whiskey. Does that work for anyone else?”

Behind the two of you, a roar of cheers rang out, and you smiled.

Even despite the teasing, you were grateful to have your friends and your...Kaz. Your Kaz.
