Do you ever think about the like ... intimacy implications(?) of Inej wearing Kaz's gloves to climb the incinerator? Like she gets inside of a part of him, a part no one else has seen. She understands him better because of it, sees just how the gloves are made. She can't touch him but touches the thing that's closest and most intimate to him. She finds what keeps him sane and returns it to him. It's nearly erotic without being sexual, don't you think?

Hello and welcome to episode 4 of DK Finally Gets It Together And Answers Her Asks Because It's About Damn Time (the title's growing on me)

Ep One - Ep Two - Ep Three

As always sorry for how long it had taken me to get to this ask but thank you very much for sending it, let's talk!

YES

I in fact think about this an awful lot. For me, there are two specific details about Inej putting Kaz's gloves on that feel very intimate and the first is her own hesitance to do so. She talks about how she knows that Kaz would tell her to just get on with it but that she feels as though she's violating his privacy by taking them - I don't have my book on me but I'm pretty sure she says it feels like going into his rooms and rifling through his belongings without permission. The second thing that feels incredibly intimate to me when I read this scene is that when Inej notices that the gloves are unlined and have thin slashes in the fingertips she realises that this is so he can maintain contact with cards or coins or so on when pickpocketing and performing slight of hand and she describes it as "touch without touch". TOUCH WITHOUT TOUCH.

INEJ WEARING KAZ'S GLOVES IS TOUCH WITHOUT TOUCH. THEY ARE SO CLOSE AND YET THEY ARE SO FAR AWAY FROM EACH OTHER and I'm pretty sure that it's after this scene once they're on the roof together that Inej says it's the first time they've touched skin on skin (though please correct me if I'm wrong) so this is the closest they've ever got to touching before!!!!!!!!!!

I may simply melt into a puddle thinking about them

Kaz and Inej totally have a love language which no one but them understands.

For her birthday Kaz gave her the location of the biggest slaver ship. While Inej gave Kaz the trade records (including the backhand deals) from all her travels for his.

Their first anniversary was celebrated by stealing a DeKappel, just the two of them, for old times sake.

In Kaz’s office there is a special place where no one is allowed to sit. This place is the windowsill, this windowsill has a blanket and a couple pillows. Some of the Dregs tried to sit there if they were in the office, but very fast learned that it is fraught with being pierced by a cane. The one and only person who can sit there safely is Inej Ghafa. And why wouldn’t she? Kaz arranged that windowsill personally for her, so she could sit there comfortably and feed the crows

Inej: *lecturing Kaz about the fact that he can’t go around blowing up Ketterdam up for no reason*

Kaz: Pekka Rollins killed my brother.

Inej: Then we destroy him.

[fics-and-quotes-andthelike]

*after the Crows have been separated for a few years*

Wylan van Eck: So what have you been up to recently?

Nina Zenik: Leading a revolution.

Wylan van Eck: Good for you! That's awesome!

Nina Zenik: I know! Anyway, have you heard from the others? Inej?

Jesper Fahey: Happily living as a pirate queen, happily married to Kaz. What about Kuwei?

Wylan van Eck: *mockingly* What about Kuwei?

Nina Zenik: Wrongfully locked up in an asylum, which reminds me, we need to break them out later. But wait, what about Kaz?

Jesper Fahey: Still a gang leader.

Nina Zenik: Yeah, that sounds about right.

I’m at the point where I’m not sure if what I know is actually canon or if it was something I read in an emotionally wrecking one shot on the Ao3 at 04:13 am

“the fire can’t touch me,

for i have burned one too many times.

and the sea can’t harm me,

for i have been drowning all my life.

oh, but you

could rip

my heart open, darling,

for i have never known love before.”

because kaz giving inej her first knife is equivalent to a first date (right? right.)

It is my firm belief that one of the most important parallels in Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom is that Wylan Van Eck had the potential to become Kaz Brekker, and Kaz Brekker had the potential to become Wylan Van Eck, in this essay I will -

[livin-in-fantasy]

Kaz loves the crows. He just does not know how to show his affection.

Kaz was traumatized as a kid, then had to raise himself in the Barrel. He had no one care about him after Jordie died. Before the crows.

Kaz never saw people showing each other genuine love, there was always a motive, always a fear of betrayal.

So Kaz learns to show he cares by watching Inej silently slip into his room after a fight. How Jesper hugs Wylan so casually, how Matthias always has a fond expression while Nina speaks.

i think it’s time we start to recognize inej ghafa as the saint she is because only she can turn kaz ‘dirty hands’ brekker, the bastard of the barrel into the ultimate simp

[siriuslyobsessedwithfiction]

I could fix him, but Kaz Brekker and Inej Ghafa taught me better.
