Hey so I have some ✨Kanej✨ kid headcannons that I’m gonna bother you with

Kaz and Inej never really thought they could have kids

Even without there problems with being intimate

Barrel bosses weren’t suited for spouses and children

And with Inej being gone 75% of the year hunting slavers it was never something they thought they could have

Until one day when Kaz meets a small seven year old suli girl

Kaz was 30 and with him being the king of Ketterdam he kept close track of everyone entering and leaving Ketterdam.

No one could get in or out of there without him knowing.

So imagine his suprise when he walked into his office to find some kid sorting through his papers

At first he simply couldn’t believe it

Then he thought she could be one of his dregs children

With business booming Kaz had more members then ever.

In fact being dregs was more seen as being an employee then a gang member

Especially with how many casinos Brekker owned

So he was positive one of his members lost track of her

He tapped his cane to the floor “You shouldn’t be in here”

The girl looked up from where she was playing with the things on his desk

Straight Black hair that reached her shoulders and watchful hazel eyes peered up at him. She was wearing a black shirt and a small hood. She looked sorta like a spider.

Could she be a spy? Kaz thought

No

She was far to young

Unless was heavily tailored...

Okay he was definitely grasping at straws

“Where are your parents?”

The girl didn’t answer instead looking at him

As if she was sizing him up

This girl was Kerch born and bred alright

“Gone”

Kaz sighed.

An orphan would be annoying to deal with

And how the hell did she even get inside the slat?

“Alright get out then” Kaz snapped

Suddenly Kaz felt the familiar tingling in his neck.

“Kaz what’s going on?” Inej said peering I to the office where the suli girl was

“Who’s this?” Inej asked

“Yes wonderful question Captain who are you?” Kaz snarled turning towards the pest of a human.

Her back stood a bit straighter

“Azriel”

“Is that your real name?” Kaz asked

“No”

“Alright”

“Inej I found this girl here in my office” Kaz said finally turning to Inej

“Your an orphan?” Inej asked

Azriel slowly nodded

“Then I can bring you to the orphanage” Inej said

Azriel hopped off Kazs desk “alright”

Inej picked Azriel up “alright I’ll take her to St. Anastasia’s and then we can finally chat”

Inej had just gotten back from a four month long expedition in the southern colonies and Kaz wasn’t to happy to have to wait Even more

“Then i guess I am doomed to wait for you here” he said sarcastically

Inej laughed the laugh and went with the girl

Kaz and Inej thought that would be the end of that but it seemed the universe wasn’t done toying with them

Kaz was tired

He always was but this time was different

Lately more and more priests and politicians have come to clean up the barrel

This would’ve been a simple annoyance but the problem was they were working. Certain parts of the barrel were better

Really they weren’t even fixing the problem

Just erecting some statues of Kerch Saints

But they were driving away business and Kaz couldn’t keep ignoring them

He could kill them,

Then They’d become martyrs

No he needed a better solution

On top of that Azriel kept getting into the slat

The second time she came back was a lot more destructive

Somehow the little demon got her grubby hands on some pink dye

And the next day a quarter of his members had to go bargain with The Razor Gulls wearing bright pink clothing

It was pretty easy to figure out who did it when kaz found some documents about the laundry gone from his desk. The very desk where Azriel sat on days ago

Azriel was a pain

The priests were a pain

The only balm was that Inej was here and would be for a couple months more

And Kaz loved his ever patient Inej but it seemed this girl was getting on her nerves to.

But Kazs brilliant brain thought he had a solution.

Azriel walked up to him. Now that he saw her again she looked mostly the same. Same cape and hood and black clothing she wore when they met

The timid teacher at the orphanage shook a little

It’s not every day Kaz Brekkker shows up asking about an orphan

“You can leave” Kaz Brekker said

The teacher rushes away hurriedly

“You dyed dregs laundry pink

With a small smirk Azriel said “Yes I did”

She was probably quite pleased with herself

She also has evidently no regard for her life

“I would like to offer you a job”

“I’ll start tomorrow”

“You don’t know what the job is”

“You want me to get rid of the priests”

“That’s right”

A small part of Kazs brain thought that she was to young

But then he was only a bit older when he started working

“Head to the slat and go to my office I’ll get someone to get you a room

Azriel had been working for Kaz for a month now and already three priests have been driven out

It seemed Azriel was quite effective at her job

He had taken a likening towards her although he would never admit it

She was smart

And had quite the sense of humor

“You like her” Jesper said after Azriel walks out of his office after giving a report

“She’s a good employee”

Ignoring Kaz Jesper continued “if she’s your employee why does she live in your apartment?”

“Easier to keep an eye on her. The other dregs haven’t forgotten that there clothes are still pastel pink.”

“Plus” Kaz added “Inej likes her”

It was true Inej had taken a liking to the troublemaker. The girl spoke her Kerch well and spoke not a kick of Suli

Even tho Azriel seemed to enjoy Inejs company she kept locked lips on where exactly she came from.

One day she just appeared in Ketterdam and that was that.

“Is she like your kid?” Jesper pressed

Jesper and wylan themselves had adopted a few and fostered many. Wylan in fact helped start St. Anastasias Orphanage

“Of course not Jesper don’t be a podge”

Of course Jesper was right when five months later Kaz and Inej signed semi legal papers adopting her

Hey y’all this is my first head canon thingie. I take asks about anything in the Grishaverse. Give this a reblog it you made it to the end. Sorry for any grammar errors I made.
