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

it is so good and so necessary that leigh bardugo included jesper’s complicated feelings about kaz in the soc/ck storyline. it’s adorable and romantic that the six main dregs all get paired off with their perfect matches and end up happy with each other, but relationships like jesper and kaz’s are so messy and nuanced and representative of real life and i find it so wonderful that leigh wrote about it. jesper and kaz fight and banter like brothers in both books, but jesper clearly has at least some romantic feelings for kaz and doesn’t know what to do about them, which is relatable™️ as fuck, especially when the person you have feelings for holds some kind of power over you (i.e. kaz basically being jesper’s boss and knowing about his debts) which makes the dynamic even more complicated. kaz, being the smart little shit that he is, definitely knows how jesper feels, and so he keeps him at arm’s length emotionally while still inviting him along on important missions and looping him into important gang matters. even more relatable is jesper’s constant feeling that he’s disappointed kaz with his reckless habits, his gambling, his very existence, and feeling like if he’d change, maybe, maybe kaz would look at him, really look at him, for a change. at the end of crooked kingdom, jesper and wylan have finally figured their shit out and are happy together (yay!) but kaz still pulls on that tangled thread when he tells inej that he misses jesper around the slat, and inej’s reaction confirms that jesper still seeks approval and an emotional connection with kaz. i just have a lot of emotions about these baby criminals and their gang okay
He watched that pulse, the evidence of her heart, matching his own beat for anxious beat. He saw the damp curve of her neck, the gleam of her brown skin. He wanted to … He wanted.Before he even knew what he intended, he lowered his head. She drew in a sharp breath. His lips hovered just above the warm juncture between her shoulder and the column of her neck. He waited. Tell me to stop. Push me away.
She exhaled. “Go on,” she repeated. Finish the story.
The barest movement and his lips brushed her skin—warm, smooth, beaded with moisture. Desire coursed through him, a thousand images he’d hoarded, barely let himself imagine — the fall of her dark hair freed from its braid, his hand fitted to the lithe curve of her waist, her lips parted, whispering his name.

“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.”

“Why do you wear the gloves, Mister Brekker?”
“I’m sure you’ve heard the stories.”
“Each more grotesque than the last.”
Kaz had heard them, too. Brekker’s hands were stained with blood. Brekker’s hands were covered in scars. Brekker had claws and not fingers because he was part demon. Brekker’s touch burned like brimstone – a single brush of his bare skin caused your flesh to wither and die.
“Pick one. They’re all true enough.”
kaz: *thinking about inej’s smile, the way she laughs, the way her skin catches moonlight- she’s actually motivated him to become a better person for his own good, teasing her about her suli proverbs, his heartbeat racing whenever he looks at her*
kaz: *voice cracking* god i fucking love money so much
so who believes kaz brekker, dirtyhands and the deadliest in his city, fixed his tie before meeting inej’s parents
