Chapters: 3/5 Fandom: Shadow and Bone (TV), Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo Rating: Not Rated Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jesper Fahey/Wylan Van Eck, Matthias Helvar/Nina Zenik, Kaz Brekker/Inej Ghafa Characters: Jesper Fahey, Wylan Van Eck, Matthias Helvar, Nina Zenik, Kaz Brekker, Inej Ghafa, Colm Fahey, Marya Hendriks Additional Tags: Hanahaki Disease, Grisha Jesper Fahey, Grisha Nina Zenik, Sorry Not Sorry, Angst, show canon, book canon, Matthias lives because I do not handle grief well, Ambiguous/Open Ending Summary:

Grisha can't get sick, it is a known fact: The sky is blue, Kaz Brekker is the Bastard of the Barrel, and Grisha can't get sick. Yet, Jesper feels his lungs squeezing, ribs tightening. Flower petals and near full blooms falling from his lips. He has never heard of anything like this happening with Grisha.

He can manage it, though, just another thing to hide like his powers, like the depths of debts.

No. He can't, he realizes. It is only getting worse. The worst is when he is around Wylan.

OR

After the reveal of Wylan Hendriks being Van Eck's son, a fight between the merchling and the durast, and an accidental kiss Wylan and Jesper are back on better terms, but they aren't a thing again, which both are okay with. That is until one faithful day when Wylan sees a bloom covered in blood and Jesper laying silently.

In the spin off if they do the whole Jesper mistakenly kisses Kuwei thing, Wylan and Jesper over it, that Jesper goes to Inej to talk. He doesn't want Kuwei at all nor does he have an interest in going to the Little Palace, even with Nina and Matthias there bc of course Matthias is going to follow Nina. Wylan is most likely to take over his father's business, and that leaves Kaz, Inej and Jesper. Jesper is certain Inej will go back out to sea, leaving him and Kaz and he doesn't really want to be a burden to Kaz so Jesper confides in Inej that he's considering going back home to Novyi Zem or saying Ghezen to it all and goes to the Wandering Isles, because it hurts to know you're not wanted or you are but you're not what a person needs.

I know I've mentioned a Little Mermaid Wesper AU!

But!

Hear me out:

A Robin Hood Kanej AU where Inej was "Little John" to Kaz's "Robin Hood" before she left and ended up in the Maiden Marian role, Nina as Lady Cluck, and Jesper as the new Little John. Pekka is Prince John, Zoya or Nikolai as King Richard, idk who Wylan and Matthias would be though so that's up for interpretation.

For Helnik a possible Sleeping Beauty AU with Matthias as the princess and Nina as the prince

I need people on here to know one thing: if a Star Wars AU is doen with SOC

Kaz and Inej are Obi-Wan (Inej) and Satine (Kaz)

Wylan and Jesper are Anakin (Wylan) and Padmé (Jesper)

Nina and Matthias are Han (Nina) and Leia (Matthias)

It works, trust me

The fact that Kaz, Jesper, and Matthias are THE BIGGEST simps in Ketterdam, will always be so iconic and amazing

Like, are they criminals, yes

Have they killed people, yes

Do they have scary reputations, yes

Do they obsess over their respective partner 24/7 and barely have space in their brain for another thought, also yes

Little Mermaid Wesper AU where Jesper is Eric/Prince and Wylan is Ariel/Little Mermaid Matthias is Sébastien, Nina as Skuttle, Inej as Flounder, and with Kaz as Grimsby. Colm is King but is ready to step down, Van Eck is both Triton and Ursula!

Like Wylan has an interest in human things, Jan doesn't approve (Wylan is still dyslexic btw) so Jan makes a deal with Wylan that if he can get someone to fall in love with him in like a week or so, then Wylan can be human but if not, then Wylan loses not only his ability to speak but to also play music and has to remain under castle bound for the rest of his life.

As a fandom can we talk about how many fans call Wylan Kaz Jr/mini Kaz when in reality they have some similarities but all Kaz wanted to do was be to Wylan what Jordie isn't able to be to him. He wanted to a big brother, he wanted a brother to show him a path to a better life.

Like if yall want a familial connection to Wylan and Kaz make them brothers not some pseudo father/son thing

I think yall also forget that in the books Kaz is 17 and Wylan is 16, and in the show I think they have a year or two gap in age.

There’s nothing wrong with Transmasc Wylan headcanons, except when the fandom uses it to further infantilize Wylan .Making Wylan a soft and a uwu gay boy who needs to be protected and is incredibly innocent ( which is disgustingly common in this fandom) is already shitty, but adding on transmasc head cannons on top of that really leaves a bad taste in my mouth

It implies that he’s so soft because he’s trans and that just is… ew

Wylan: *threatens to throw Kuwei into the canal*

Jesper: I'd be careful, he is the richest man in Ketterdam

Fandom: omg look at the uwu soft boy with dyslexia

Also Jesper referred to Wylan as "van Sunshine" after Wylan became said something unhinged (I forget rn sorry) he didn't mean it in that Wylan is literally a ray of sunshine

Post Crooked Kingdom Wylan and Jesper aren't together but are aware of the others feelings towards them. Wylan develops hanahaki, Jesper takes him to the crows or Trimunitive and is like "I don't care how he feels about me after this" because losing Wylan to someone else or losing him to the flowers growing inside both kill jesper, but he can march on as long as Wylan is breathing

Imagine after Wylan catches kisses Jesper kissing Kuwei (mostly the book version but show can work too) Wylan develops Hanahaki as he believes Jesper never really had any interest in him, it develops quickly so when Jesper tries to confide that he wasn't in the right headspaxe and didn't mean to kiss Kuwei he sees Wylan coughing up flowers. Jesper stops and tries to help Wylan thinking maybe Wylan doesn't like him and he thinks maybe Wylan liked Kuwei or perhaps it's Kaz or Matthias bc Jesper doesn't know how long the flowers have been with Wylan.
So, Jesper does get it through that he didn't mean to kiss Kuwei but doesn't say he meant to kiss Wylan, instead they just get back to being friends. Jesper glad when Wylan is himself again, but neither confess, too afraid of what it'll mean, especially for Wylan. Then, after the auction when Jesper has been living and working with Wylan for months and the coughing and flowers get really bad one night. Jesper finds Wylan on the ground.
Once the mediks have Wylan stable and bed bound, Jesper pleads with an unconscious Wylan. Admitting he loves him that he can't lose Wylan to the flowers and that Wylan needs to confess to who his heart lies with.
Wylan, somewhat coherent, hears Jesper but doesn't open his eyes afraid that it's all a dream

The way I love Wesper so much and want to argue that both are adhd/autistic but Jesper still masks heavily and Wylans adhd is more internal----

In the books I read Wylan as an ADD kid! Autistic coded, yes, but ADD and autism can be very similar in many ways. In the show he's definitely more autistic, but I still love that someone else has the ADD Wylan headcanon 😍

@spike-is-not-a-dogs-name as someone with both adhd and autism I noticed signs of both in them, and I really love having a couple that is both adhd/autistic together
