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
The chattering masses of people he passed didn’t know it yet, but they would one day fear the half-drowned nine year old shaking from the cold and the effects of the plague.
Then again, no one knew much about Kaz Brekker. They didn’t know he wasn’t from the Barrel or that he’d once had a family. They never guessed where the rasp in his young voice came from. They certainly didn’t know why he really wore gloves. Most weren’t even convinced he was human. No one ever suspected that Kaz Brekker was deaf.
*** Basically a random story of what if Kaz went deaf from the plague. It starts sort of pre-canon and has expanded. I am bad at summaries so read the first chapter if you want to get a feel for what this story is.

Summary
Perhaps, God should've been more clear when he told Michael to take Lucifer to Hell. Perhaps, he should've told him to come home right when he realized Lucifer was unhappy. But, maybe Lucifer shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Basically, God being a bad father, but not an unloving one and Lucifer's "flawless" reasoning when it comes to love, family, and freedom.

Summary
He had never seen this look on Ilya’s face before. It wasn’t anger. It was something else. Something scarier than seeing him angry. Fear. He has never seen his boyfriend like this.
Ilya wasn’t even sure if he was physically hurt. He wasn’t worried about that. He couldn’t think straight. His adrenaline was rushing.
“Ничего не стоящий.” Worthless. His father’s words rang in his head.
or
Shane and Ilya have a very intense argument. Shane gets overstimulated and pushes Ilya off of him. This sends Ilya into a PTSD flashback. PTSD flashback leads to manic episode. (Ilya Rozanov needs a hug)
Ilya’s mental health relapses and spirals. He goes through all the motions.
Title from “None of Your Concern” by Jhené Aiko
Inspired by Yes Sir by EmuWithATopHat (i finally found the inspo fic after weeks of searching)

Summary
"Rozy," Brian, the team doctor says, "talk to me, buddy. That puck clipped you pretty good, how’s the pain?"
Ilya blinks. He clenches his jaw against a wave of nausea. He rests his cheek on the ice, and the cold helps a little.
"Bad. Very bad." He swallows. "Is Shane here?"

or, in the final MTL/BOS game of the year, ilya takes a puck to the head.

Summary
LeClaire’s hand is still on his shoulder, and Ilya knows that it doesn’t look like anything. A coach speaking to one of his players. LeClaire’s heat seeps through his suit jacket, and his breath is a warm, damp wash of air against Ilya’s ear.
“They’ve finished up with the awards,” he murmurs. “You look like you’re ready to get out of here.”
Ilya nods tightly and sets his drink down on the table.
OR:
Gregori Rozanov was bad in many ways, but Coach LeClaire might have him beat.
Shane Hollander has something to say about that. It turns out a lot of people do.
