He rolled over, blinking tiredly. The full moon danced in his vision. He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, she smiled warmly at him. Her silky black hair gleamed with the stars of the night. Thick and dense as velvet and smooth as satin. Her dark eyes glowed in the night. Two large pools of endless dark, warm. Tattoos that swim across her warm skin.
He was dreaming again. Dreaming of her.
Soft fingertips that glide over his face. Cool and assuring. His head between her thighs, cool skin bracketing his ears, caressing and holding him in place. Sliver hands wrapped around golden horns.
His name a melody.
“Darlington.”

This takes many creative liberates and expands the Lethe concept but i wanted to float it out there.
When Daniel ended up in the hospital, Alfie tried to reconcile why he would do that to himself. He never found a good answer but vowed to help Daniel put his interest to rest - to solve the mysterious allure of magics with him. When they were freshman in college, Daniel and Alfie were approached by Dean Sandow. They were given an address, a time, and a promise that everything would be explained and they had seemingly been waiting for the opportunity. When they had arrived - Daniel drove them - a woman and the Dean were arguing softly. “I thought we only did one Dante! This will screw everything up. What about when they get to my age, huh? Will there be two that year, two Virgils?” “We’ll see who makes it.” “They’re boys, Sandow!” “We need a Dante, and we should consider opening more spots. Maybe just three people aren't enough. It's dangerous, maybe we need someone with a medical job. The trustees agree.” The dean's attention turned to the two, ignoring the woman. She seemed upset, and Alfie wondered if she truly was interested in protecting the values of whatever they were doing or keeping herself protected from future issues. You see, while Daniel had his interest in the magic world all his life, Alfie had nothing worthy of being chosen for an office that he knew of. Sure, he had a knack for patching up people and volunteered at the hospital since he was 14, but that wasn't anything special he thought. “Welcome,” Sandow smiled at them. “I’m glad you could make it, Daniel, Alfie.” “Thank you for the invitation,” Daniel said - diplomatic. Alfie twitches his neck to the side, hearing dogs? under the porch. “Are there dogs under the porch?” he asked, taking a step closer. He clicks his tongue gently, coaxingly. Slowly, a beast steps into the fall light. He was beautiful, almost skeletal with thick black coats and sharp teeth. “There you are.” the hound sniffed his hand before nudging it. “Hungry, boy?” he asked, offering a piece of jerky from his bag. The hound takes it. Sandow gives a clear whistle and the dog retreats. Alfie frowned, peeking under the porch. There was certainly not much space, but more than six pairs of eyes stared at him. He hummed and tossed a few more pieces of jerky into the hole before he stood. “Why do they sleep under the porch? Do you feed them?” “They’re spirits, Mr. Quincy. Bound to protect the house, as well as the delegates of Lethe,” the woman tells him. “Lethe?” Daniel asked. “Spirits? What is this?” “We’re aware of your interest in magic, Daniel, Alfie, and were hoping you would accept our proposition. Michelle here is Virgil, a member of Lethe who keeps watch over the other 8 magical societies,” Sandow explains. “Daniel, your attempted elixir was the closest anyone outside of Lethe has ever gotten, and we would like to offer you the position of Dante, her student.” “And Alfie?” “Asclepius, a new position to look after the delegates and those affected by the rituals. He would learn and watch beside Dante, of course, if you accept.” Daniel looked ready to jump with glee, and Alfie smiled gently. Daniel looked at him, wanting so to join but wanting Alfie with him. Alfie nodded. “Yes.” Dean Sandow offered a hand, and Daniel shook it. Something wiggled in Alfie’s chest like his body was trying to tell him this was a bad idea.

my best girl the sun summoner 🫶☀️
He wanted to ask for a billion, but he didn't want to prove inej right (greed is your god scene)
We talk a lot about 30 million kruge, because of course we do, but we don’t mention often enough that the original offer was FIVE. It took Kaz one conversation to get it from five million to twenty million, and then he demanded thirty anyway. I love him.
Jordie just 💀
Has this in drafts, don't know if i actually posted it or it never came out
“What do you mean you want to be in hell? Didn’t you bargained your way into heaven?”
Jordie: yeah because i wanted to be with my brother when he kicks the bucket but I have been watching him now and yeah, there’s no way he comes here”
This is so cute I AM SCREAMING 😍😍
kanej christmas 🌟🎄🎁
So true Lmao
Other YA characters taking down their enemies: massive scale magical fight scenes, complex good vs evil moral conversations, love triangles, tragedy

kaz brekker: so, what do you fuckers know about the stock market?
THIS IS GOLD LMFAO 💀😭
Ily creator you made my day <33
Inej: Kaz, how do you want your coffee?
Kaz: Dark like my soul
Inej: no sugar?
Kaz: do i look like i need sugar?
Inej: no but, i can be the sugar on your soul
Kaz: huh?
Inej: Kaz, i am tired on keeping it inside, i am desesperately in love with you, i want to marry you right now and laugh everyday so you could get drunk on it
Nina just entering: I want to be the maid of honor! because you kaz (and not Zoya) are the most important person in my life!
Wylan appearing from the roof: Kaz! i did a chemistry thingy that turns rock into gold and i am giving it all to you!
Jesper: you can break into our home anytime you want!
Matthias : Kaz i have a new tattoo! (rips shirt off) and its of your face!
Everyone surrounding kaz while trowing kruge at him: KAZ,KAZ,KAZ,KAZ,KAZ...
Kaz laugthing maniacally while making kruge angels: HAHAHAHAHA...
"KAZ,KAZ,KAZ,KAZ..."

Kaz snapping out: huh, what?
Inej: you spaced out as if you were daydreaming or something, i was asking you if you wanted coffee
Kaz: oh sure
Inej: how would you like it?
Kaz: dark as my soul...
Inej: no sugar?....Kaz...Kaz?..and he is gone again
SEE THIS @netflix
Just to prove a point to @netflix how many of you would watch a Six of Crows spinoff show?
I have just finished rules of wolves and i loved it (maybe later i will do a list of my favorite things in the book) but, we can talk about the final line?
"Take a message to the crow club." she said. "Tell Kaz Brekker that the Queen of Ravka has a job for him"
If this isn't a preview for a third book of the crows, I don't know what is.
I love this post😂
The crows hanging out together, the couples cuddling with each other
Kaz laying down : i am bored…
Inej: no…
Kaz: yes…
Inej: Kaz,no
Kaz: Kaz yes
Kaz sits up
Kaz: Zenik,you and your boyfriend are disgusting, we are not interested in seeing your cutesy display, no other couple can disturb me this much with their cuteness. So disturbing there,sharing the seat like the co depending pair you are, sickens me
Jesper: i beg your pardon?
Nina: In Kaz’s language: he said we are the cutest couple he knows, loser
Jesper: Wylan and I are sharing the seat too
Kaz grabs the popcorn
Nina : Matthias and I are so cute, we share our desserts
Jesper: well, Wylan and I share our breakfast
Wylan: more like we kind of fight for it-
Jesper: you shh!
Nina: Matthias and I share our passwords
Jesper: Wylan and I share our pijama, and I am not saying we exchange them, we literally pick one and I wear the bottom only while he wears the top only , the remaining half exposed
Wylan seeing Kaz opening his mouth: don’t!
Nina: Matthias and I share our tooth brush!
Matthias: we do what?!
(Twenty minutes later)
Jesper: we share the bath!
Nina: so do we!
Wylan: Jes! (Matthias: Nina!)
Nina: we share hair products!
Jesper: we have shared undies!
Wylan: Jesper for fuck sake!
Jesper: well,i couldn’t say hair products, it’s obvious we don’t share that one
Wylan: just for the record, it was only once and my closet was set on fire
Nina: Matthias and i share dreams! We sometimes dream the same thing
Jesper: new flash! dreaming that Kaz is abducted by aliens is not a cutesy couple thing, we all have been there!
Jesper: also, to convince you who are the actual best couple, I’ll go to a lawyer, change my name and birth certificate to match Wylan’s and we’ll be sharing an identity…
Nina: not if I get there first to change Matthias’s certificate to match mine!
(Both run away from the room,Inej stands up)
Inej: I’ll get them
Kaz: the best entertainment is free
Wylan : Jesper did have a point in saying that dreaming Kaz getting abducted it’s an universal thing
Now I can't stop thinking about how happy I would be if this musical actually existed
Once again thinking about a Six of Crows musical featuring delightful hits such as:
Overture (Instrumental)
Ketterdam [Capitol of Capital] (Ensemble)
The Bastard of the Barrel (Kaz's song)
Stars and Saints (Inej's song)
Trigger Finger (Jesper's song)
Son of the Council (Wylan's song)
Welcome to Hellgate (Matthias's song)
To Hold a Heart [To End a Life] (Nina's song)
Two Step Plan (The Crows)
Tainted (Kanej Duet)
The Ice Court [Infiltration Destination] (The Crows)
Up the Incinerator (Ensemble)
Dance of the Dignitaries (Ensemble)
Two Pair (Wesper)
Hands of Flame (Ensemble)
Waters of Djel (The Crows)
Escape [We Have a Tank] (The Crows)
Jurda Parem (Ensemble)
Stay Afloat (Helnik Duet)
Bastard's Lament [To Lose a Spider] (Ensemble)
No Mourners, No Funerals (Ensemble)
Exit the Crows (Instrumental)
Now if only I knew how to compose music...
Wespers little autumn date 🍁🍁
My random doodle of Inej blew up so I made more soc stuff lol
That was the hardest decision, I might make second version since I am still unsure about it. Anyway here is our maknae Xion as Nina Zenik. The vibes are kinda matching. Also for all Leeon shipers, you’re welcome. Have fun and prepare for the last one.
Keonhee as Jesper. I love these two funny guys. Have fun and who do you want to see next?
Leedo as Matthias, again I don’t why it is just about vibes. My brain calls this one “manly moodboard”. Anyway have fun and who do you want to see next?
Starting a new series I guess. This time two really cool sixs will mix. Six of crows and ONEUS. Let’s start with Hwanwoong as Inej. Have fun and stay tuned lovely people of the internet
It's been a long time since my artist friend and I decided to make a collab and it's finally finished ✨
Unfortunately he's not on tumblr, but I'll leave links:
Telegram
Also only Nikolai
Can we talk about Henik last scene. It was so emotional. So painfully for me. So that I even can't imagine that will happened when Nina stayed without Mathias.
I was crying at this moment when I'd read the book. And WHAT will be when we see this scene in S&B? Because it can be in one of the seasons. And I will die when Matias will return to his home*sobbing right now* again...
With the shadow and bone trailer being leaked and my rule of wolves book being delivered Leigh Bardugo has completely overrun my morning
As always Leigh delivering the most beautiful books
I have to say it's a lot bigger than I expected! I ordered from indigo so I got the bonus content and a poster too! I think I'll have to reread King of Scars because I don't remember anything but Hanne selective memory I guess
a sucker for all maps in books all those little mountains,river,castles,forests and stuff
Also books with playlists>>>>>
my favourite thing about kaz is that he isn't a humourless miserable serious person. he's a drama queen, constantly sarcastic and genuienly laughs. he's cruel and terrifying, but he's also just a sassy teenager
nikolai lantsov = tony stark
no i will not be elaborating
Reading the Six of Crow's duology is funny because I sometimes forget that they are criminals until they do something like kidnap Van Eck's pregnant wife to get Inej back😂
Then I'm reminded that these bitches are the definition of "you go low, I go lower." and I love that for them
this time I get to be Jesper and Nina
the crows as things my friends have said, part 2:
kaz: "I should try that: dress all nicely and spread lies."
inej: "I do love throwing knives."
jesper: "Hey, I stole that fair and square!"
wylan: "I'm gonna cry about it for hours when I get home, but other than that it's ok."
nina: *someone complains about how many people are in the room* "It's ok because I look better than everyone here."
matthias: "You live and you learn. You live, and I learn how not to live like you."
Merren Asper reminds me of Wylan van Eck. They both look like this sweet summer child and then BOOM! you are dead (literally boom! in Wylan's case)
