    Summary

    “I don’t know how he knows, but I can trust him,” said Inej firmly. “His information will be sound.”
    “It better be," said the Heartrender. "You’re still human like every other man, Brekker. I could crush your heart in a second.”
    Kaz looked blankly at her for a moment.
    “You sound so sure,” he said.
    --
    Kaz gets wind of a planned ambush. With precisely zero good grace, he goes to help Inej and her crew.
    In Lij.
    He's about as happy about it as her crew are; which is to say, not happy at all.

    Summary

    Every new year hundreds receive a death sentence in the form of a black skull mark on their arm. Some spend their last days seeking pleasure. Others fall into despair as if they were dead already. Some try to right their wrongs. Kaz Brekker welcomes any of them into the Dregs so long as they have a useful talent.

    Some rumors claim, he keeps their hearts in jars. He delights in tormenting them, others whisper. He made a deal with the devil for their souls, others are convinced. Whatever the reason, one thing is known: Kaz Brekker only hires those who are already dying. Kaz lets the rumors go because they are useful and because they are all less horrific than what he actually is.

    *** Please read the warnings in the first chapter note.

    Summary

    Seonghwa is horribly transparent. Like a pane of stained glass or the delicate wing of a dragonfly. Sometimes, Hongjoong thinks he can see all the way through him, muscle to bone to marrow to his steady, clockwork center, a place so brightly honest that Hongjoong hurts for him.

    Seonghwa’s heart is a star, after all, and stars sometimes fall.
    ______

    Hongjoong, Seonghwa, and a picture.

    Summary

    “None of this is worth it, then. If we're not together. I don't know about you, Hongjoong-ah, but I… I genuinely wouldn't have gone forth with wanting to become an idol if not for you, and I wouldn't be in the middle of writing a message to my dad about quitting college so I can focus more on training if not for you. For me, half the reason I'm chasing my dreams so vigorously is because of you. I'm sorry if that's putting a burden on you, but the world I get to experience, and the world that you've made for yourself, is so, so precious. I never want to extricate myself from that, even if it means I have to debut a few months, even years, late. Because I want to do everything with you.”

    “I— I do, too,” Hongjoong said without hesitation. “Everything you said.”

    inspired by the song "kidult" by seventeen
