Inej Ghafa’s Playlist

listen here

Savage Daughter

i am my mother's savage daughter, i will not cut my hair, i will not lower my voice

labour

all day, every day, therapist, mother, maid, nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant, just an appendage, live to attend him, so that he never lifts a finger

Me and the Devil

and i said hello Satan, i believe it is time to go, me and the devil walking side by side

If I Killed Someone For You

i'm sorry that i did this, the blood is on my hands, i stare at my reflection, i don't know who i am

Dead of Night

you can shout or you can scream, but it won't save you from the midnight trickery, when the daylight disappears, you'll find no shelter in this tangled web of fear

You Don't Own Me

you don't own me, don't try to change me in any way, you don't own me, don't tie me down cause i'd never stay

No Time To Die

fool me once, fool me twice, are you death or paradise, now you'll never see me cry, there's just no time to die

Way down We Go

cause they will run you down, down til the dark, yes and they will run you down, down til you fall, and they will run you down, down til you go, so you can't crawl no more

Tightrope

and people look like they're specks of dust when you're, this high off the ground, i'll do my best not to let you down, so feet don't fail me now

Runaway

i had a dream, i was seven, climbing my way in a tree, i saw a piece of heaven, waiting in patience for me, and I was running far away, would I run off the world someday

Killer

walking all alone, you know it's okay, cause my tongue is sharper than a switchblade, you've been tryna elevate my heart rate, but you can't scare me no more

mirrorball

i'm still a believer but i don't know why, i've never been a natural, all i do is try, try, try, i'm still on that trapeze, i'm still trying everything, to keep you looking at me

War of Hearts

i can't help but love you, even though i try not to, i can't help but want you, i know that i'd die without you

For This You Were Born

the touchdown pain, when you feel those thorns, when it hurts to stay, you know to leave hurts more, so you light the way cause you know for sure, it's for this you were born

Aimed to Kill

and i tried to save a life, with these diamond hands of mine, but they're sharper than a knife, i am aimed to kill

A/N: so glad that you guys are enjoying this series as much i am writing it! thank you all for the likes and reblogs. I will put some small glimpses of the reader's past but everything will be explained further in season two! all of these chapters are not proofread.

prologue - one - two - three - four - five - six - seven - eight - nine - ten

You remembered when the firepox began and how sick Jordie and Kaz was. You tried everything in your power to keep them healthy and alive, but you weren't a healer, you were just a heartrender. You were saving your money so that the three of you could survive, but it wasn't enough.

You remembered when Jordie coughed with a raspy voice that only got worse as the night went on. It was keeping all of you up, knowing that you needed to rest if you were to recover. Kaz was next to you, clinging his arms protectivly with no symptoms just yet, but you feared that he was going to be worse soon too.

It was only a week that Jordie had fallen ill and you heard how his heartbeat was faint, almost giving up but Jordie tried to fight his very last breath. To this day, you could hear how his heart stopped during the firepox. It was one of the few reasons why you stopped using your powers. Every time when you heard the heartbeats, it filled you with sickness, but as the time went on, the feeling disappeared, but the haunting memory of Jordie started to appear.

''I got a new lead,'' You heard Kaz reply as soon he walked inside of your shared room. You snapped your head to him, surprised that you didn't hear his footsteps. You were too deep in thought to remember Pekka Rollins and how he destroyed your life to realize Kaz had walked inside of the room.

''What is it?'' You asked. ''A man who goes by by the name of the Conductor,'' He answered and leaned against the door. You nodded and took of your coat. ''You were thinking of him, weren't you?'' Kaz asked and narrowed his eyes. You bit your lip, trying to hide a smile as you walked behind and changed your clothes. Kaz knew you too well.

''You know me,'' You spoke, turning your head to look at him before walking out of the chamber. ''It wasn't your fault,'' He replied. ''I know, yet, I couldn't to much at that time,'' You sighed before taking your coats.

''We're getting Jesper?'' You asked and he nodded, not letting the conversation further. You handed him the coat as you put on your own before walking out to the streets.

Thinking back earlier, it was the reason why you stopped using your powers. The memories of Jordie haunted you too much and you couldn't bear of using them. ''Jesper, new job,'' Kaz spoke as you spotted the Zemeni boy. ''Come along,''

''I mean it, We need a demo man,'' Jesper told the two of you. ''You're still on that?'' Kaz questioned and shook your head. ''Of course he is,'' You muttered. ''I just brought it up tonight,'' Jesper replied.

''Jesper, you ask for an explosives expert on every job,'' You remarked and arched an eyebrow. ''Because I don't want to be the one you point and say: explode something for us,'' Jesper commented. ''That's not Jesper talent, I shoot with style, and I look good, just play my strenght, boss,'' You shook your head and hid your smile.

''Alina Starkov will be kept at the Little Palace, entering the Little Palace requires us to be quiet, blowing something up, we've likely failed,'' Kaz informed. ''And it would be a result for death,'' You commented.

''Morbid,'' Jesper spoke. ''Then we should take Inej, she's a good investment, more quiet and she can't stay here, you know that,'' Jesper told you. ''Trust me, I know,'' You told him. Jesper grabbed Kaz's coat, only to realize his mistake when Kaz looked at him with a glare. Jesper pulled Y/N in front of him, sending Kaz a small smile before hitting Jesper on his arm.

''Whoa, hang on, aren't we on Pekka's turf now?'' Jesper questioned with wide eyes. ''I got Heleen now and ask for her buyout, she knows that we need Inej and sets a price that I can't pay,'' You told him as Jesper looked at you.

''That's evil, well, how do you know that?'' Jesper asked. ''It's what he would do,'' Kaz added as they looked at the building. ''Besides, Inej refuses to kill, would you trust her in a matter of life and death?'' You questioned.

''Yes,''

''Well, I've trusted her this far and I'm still alive, so, yeah,'' Jesper commented. ''Now, you want to tell me why we're scoping out a rival club?'' Jesper asked as while you and Kaz exchanged a look. ''We got a lead,'' You replied. ''To have a talk with an old buisness partner,'' Jaz filled in. ''The bouncers will know you on sight,''

''Make sure they don't see us,'' Kaz told Jesper. Jesper nodded as Y/N and Kaz backs against the wall as you heard a gunshot wearing off. ''You!'' One of Pekka's bouncers exclaim as Jesper turns around at the man and held his hands in the air, acting innocent.

''You heard that too?'' You heard Jesper question the man. You and Kaz let Jesper do the job while you followed him into the building. You let Kaz leading the way until they reached to the familiar door.

''Boris why would you..''

''It's been a while, Poppy,'' You spoke as they see Kaz and Y/N standing in the middle of the doorway. ''Hiya, darling,'' Poopy greeted them and grabbed the gun and pointing it toward Kaz. ''I see you're still upset,'' Kaz replied. ''About you stealing my shares of the Crow Club?''

''It wasn't stealing, it was just a raw deal, most deals in the Barrel are,'' You spoke with a smile. Poppy lowered the gun and placed it back to the vanity. ''What do you two want?'' Poppy asked.

''I need you to find someone, or at least learn how to find them, tonight,'' You told Poppy. ''Looking for a club act, aren't we?''

''That's why we have Jesper,'' You commented with a chuckle. ''We're looking for the conductor,'' You told Poppy. ''So you know him,'' Kaz replied when he noticed Poppy's expression. ''This is about a job, isn't it?'' Kaz rolled his eyes. ''One that sends you all the way east for a million Kruge? You'll never make enough to compete with Pekka, you know? He's a king, you're just the Bastard of the Barrel,''

''The prettiest one out of the two,'' You commented and you saw the corner out of your eye that Kaz gave you a look. ''Tante Heleen wrote you?'' Kaz questioned. ''Just this evening, you snoop, she was asking about the conductor as well,''

You and Kaz shared a concerned look. ''Probably about the same job, so, I warned him to steer clear of her,''

''You warned him? With a note?'' You asked as Poppy nodded. ''She wanted you to do that so she could have the messenger followed,'' Poppy informed. ''She wouldn't hurt him, would she?''

''She would if it meant hurting me, now if you have any loyalty to him, tell me where he is: right now,'' Kaz demanded as Poppy wrote down the directions on a note and handed it over to Kaz.

-

Jesper, Y/N, and Kaz walked with a fast pace. Knowing that Kaz had a limp, he was quite quick. ''Saints, he's fast,'' Jesper breathed out as they tried to keep it up. ''I know,'' You responded. ''Have you two done anything?'' Jesper questioned, making you look at him and roll your eyes.

''It's none of your buisness, Jesper,'' You replied. ''Jesper, guard the door, Y/N, you're with me,'' Kaz ordered. ''Got it boss,'' Jesper said and you followed after Kaz. They walked through the building and searched for the conductor. Kaz looked at Y/N, asking if she heard any heartbeats.

You scanned the hallway, hearing two heartbeats near. You nodded as you followed after the sound, Kaz following shortly after. ''Don't,'' Kaz spoke, a knife comes flying across the room and you shoved him away. ''He's our way to Alina Starkov,'' You replied and looked at Inej.

''Him?'' Inej asked with disbelief. ''Heleen knew it,'' You told her softly. ''She was using you to sabotage our mission,'' Kaz added and she shook her head. ''She and I made a deal,'' She revealed with guilt flashing her eyes.

''It isn't worth more than what we get him alive,'' Kaz told her. Inej turns away from the conductor and looked at Kaz. ''You choose him over my freedom,'' Inej spoke and looked at you.

''Inej, you assume It's one or another,'' You told her. You watched her pull away her knife from his throat, leaving a small cut. You watched as Kaz approached the conductor. ''Conductor, we have a job for you,''

The man stared at him with a frightened look. ''Get us to the Little Palace,'' Kaz told him. The man didn't spoke but nodded. ''Good, Inej, untie him, I will be waiting outside,'' Kaz replied and turned around to walk outside of the room.

You followed after Kaz. ''At least he's still alive,'' You told him from behind.

''Jesper,'' You spoke, watching the boy jump with surprise. ''Saints, Y/N,'' He replied. ''Inej will be out in a moment with our guest, then we go back to the Crow Club and get ready to leave,'' You informed him as you all watched Inej walk out. ''What are you going to do with Inej?'' You asked him as you all walked back to the club.

''Don't worry, I have a plan,'' Kaz told you and you just raised your eyebrow in response.

-

You waited for Kaz's return and you don't notice Kaz walk inside of the room, but you heard his heartbeat jump. You looked up from your book with an arched eyebrow when you caught him staring at you. ''How long did it take for you to notice when I stepped into the room?'' He asked and placed his hat down at the desk.

''Oh please, I noticed when you were close to the door,'' You responded with a small smile. ''Just wanted to see your reaction,'' You replied and chuckled. ''I paid Tante Heleen a visit,'' Kaz said and that made you look up from the floor with a frown. ''Why?''

''Kaz,'' You told him with a stren voice when he didn't answer your question. Kaz grabbed his coat and hung it up on the wall. ''I put up my shares of the crow club as collateral,''

''You what?'' You exclaimed and walked over to Kaz with a shocked expression. You didn't understand why, but you could understand why he did it. Hell, you would've do it too since you would do anything to protect your crows. ''Inej?'' You asked him softly.

Kaz didn't say anything and kept his gaze on the floor. ''I couldn't let her stay here and let's face it, she's the one who's pulling us together,'' Kaz admitted. Ever since you bought Inej, Kaz had always a rival against her. You didn't know why. Inej was such a sweet girl and you adored her, but Kaz on the other hand was a harsh critic.

You tried to assure Inej that nothing was personal, but Inej believed that Kaz hated her. Little did she know that Kaz tried to protect his crows. ''And here I thought that you didn't had a soft spot for her,'' You teased him after a long silence.

Kaz looked up from the floor, hiding a small smile out of the corner of his mouth. ''What can I say?'' He shrugged. ''You're the one who trained her after all,'' You smiled. Maybe Kaz and Inej could put their rivals behind and befriend each other.

-

Getting into a stuffed carriage on the way to Novokribirsk and then 3 hours on a boat, you felt exhausted. You sat near Kaz since there was no room between them. You knew that Kaz had a dislike for touch and the only thing that could keep him insane was you. ''I didn't hire you simply to get us across the Fold, you're with us because you smuggle Grisha out of the Little Palace, and that's the location of our target,'' Kaz told him.

''Sun summoner,'' inej corrected him. ''Alleged,'' You and Kaz spoke at the same time, sending Inej a look. ''They wouldn't keep a fraud in the most secure place in all of Ravka,''

''If it meant attention, they would,''

''You said you have a contact who can get us inside, a heartrender,'' Kaz told him as he nodded. ''Nina grew up there,'' He told you. ''Most Grisha grew up in the Little Palace,'' You told him, giving him a look. ''Very few would betray their general, and fewer still would help foreigners kidnap their most prized posession,'' Kaz continued.

''Nina is a radical, thinks Grisha should get to choose if they serve the Crown, she despise involuntary service more than she does Fjerdans,'' They pulled up to a building where you expected where Nina should be and you noticed the innkeeper counting Fjerda krydda. ''She knew to expect us,'' Arken says.

You looked around the room, seeing that she packed her stuff already and had gone away. You saw the corner out of your eye that Jesper picked up a piece of bread on the plate and began to chew it. You sent him an amusing look. ''She isn't late, she's gone,'' Kaz stated.

''Yes, but her things are all...'' Kaz trailed off and lifted the cover of her bag and you saw a wolf symbol beneath of it. ''What is it?'' You heard Jesper's muffled voice ask. ''Jesper, close your mouth while chewing,'' You told him.

''Yes, mum,'' Jesper spoke with a muffle voice as he kept chewing on the bread, sending you a look, making you roll your eyes. ''Drüskelle, they're ruthless Grisha hunters,'' Arken stated and you frowned as you watched him pick up the pin. ''Explains the Fjerda krydda the inkeeper was contain when he arrived,'' You muttered. ''It's likely he ratted her out,'' Inej walked over to the window.

''She's probably captive on a ship to Fjerda by now,''

''They had a clear line of attack,'' Kaz replied and looked at Inej. ''Take a look, make sure there aren't more surprises,'' Kaz told her as Inej jumped off the balcony. ''Well, that's that,'' You and Kaz looked at the Arken. ''We've lost our way into the Little Palace,'' Arken commented as you all walked out of the building. ''All clear,'' Inej spoke.

''This seems like a reasonable juncture to abandon this whole Sun Summoner plan,'' Arken said as Kaz turned around and you narrowed your eyes. ''Abandon?''

''We're in this now, and I know what a million Kruge means to me, what does it mean to you?'' Kaz questioned and looked at you and then at Inej and Jesper. ''Freedom,'' Inej answered first before Jesper followed after.

''Fun, like, at least few months,''

''Retirement,'' You spoke. ''Right, so we press on, get us across the Fold and I'll figure out the rest on the other side,'' Kaz replied and looked at the conductor. ''Fine,'' The conducor said with a defeating voice and held out a pad of paper. ''To cross, I'll need 2o pounds of alabaster coal, a peck of Mejdalon jurda, uh, not the kind from Kerch, it's too weak, and uh...'' You watch his eyes trails on Jesper.

''A goat,''

''A goat?'' You questioned. ''A goat,'' The conductor replied, not giving you anymore questions.

''Now, we meet in the dead of night, there's a wreckage of a skiff northeast, on the edge of the town, so, who get's what?''

''Inej, Y/N and I will get the goat, and jesper...'' Kaz trailed off as you looked at Jesper. ''Just the coal, no detours,'' You warned him as he smirked in response and grabbed the list off Kaz before all of you departed ways.

I just think that when we think about helnik we tend to focus on matthias dying rather than the times when matthias was ALIVE, and while his death is a significant part of the series and their relationship, their interactions during the rest of the duology deserve just as much attention as his death
