    Summary

    “Well,” said Nina, making an effort to sound cheery, knocking her mug into Wylan’s in salute. “Off he goes to Hellgate! He clearly hated listening to you lay out everything he’d ever done wrong under an oath to Ghezen. His expression was almost as tragic as his hairline--”
    Wylan smiled weakly-- and then had it immediately wiped off his face by Kaz’s response.
    “Except he didn't,” said Kaz.
    Everyone’s heads turned.
    “What d’you mean?” frowned Jesper. Wylan stared warily down the table--
    “Wylan didn’t lay out everything his father had ever done wrong.”
    --
    on the day of jan van eck's trial, kaz hounds wylan into admitting something he'd avoided. they all deal with the consequences. some better than others.

    Summary

    “If you get out there while you’re drugged there’s no telling what you’ll do,” Wylan said, pushing past Kaz to get back to his work station. “I’d think you'd want to avoid pulling the Dregs into this gang war.” He yanked a cabinet open and rummaged around for a pipette. Opened the vial. Drew out a drop. In his head he ran through the motions of the synthesis: he’d gotten close, before, with the blood sample. All he had to do now was see it through to the finish.

    “I know that.” Kaz’s voice was nearly a snarl, but then again it always sounded like that. There was still time. “I mean, why didn’t you lock it from the outside?

    “Like that would stop you," Wylan scoffed. "You need an antidote. You said the others were dead within the hour.”

    “Only after killing everyone in their vicinity, Merchling, did you forget that part?”

    Summary

    Wylan still wasn’t sure if he meant what he’d said. He missed Jesper like mad, but things had been getting worse and worse before that fight. In a way, it felt inevitable that it would end like this. They were two people that had never been all that compatible, and in the time that they’d shared, they’d both proven themselves irrevocably incapable of change.

    He had an anger that couldn’t be sated. For so long, it had been dampened down, pushed out, swallowed, rejected. To let it rise only made himself sick. And yet, it appeared he could only digest it for so long. Like a cord pulling taut, it was destined to snap.

    Summary

    Wylan looked up, his gaze unreadable. “I’m trying something,” he said shortly. “It isn’t working.”

    “The song?” Jesper asked. He dared to take a step inside. “Or the piano?”

    “Both – there’s a loose wire.”

    Or, a Jesper character study: the one in which Jesper teaches Wylan how to aim, Wylan teaches Jesper how to make gunpowder, and Kaz plants tea.

    Summary

    Jesper steps forward slowly, appraising. Wylan can’t tell if he looks amused or aghast, or something else entirely. “Are you negotiating with me?”

    Wylan lifts his chin. “You’re essentially asking me to do double the work. It’s only fair for the pay to be doubled as well.”

    -

    Set before the Ice Court Heist, in Wylan's first few months in the Barrel, Jesper breaks into Wylan's boardinghouse to give him a job from Kaz. Negotiations, teasing, flirting, arguing, and conversations over Wylan's flimsy door lock ensue.
