Song Sung Blue by sparrowmoth for oneofthewednesdays
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)

Summary
Her husband,
staring into the hearth fire late one night,
with their son asleep on the rug like a cat,
spoke as if to the fire itself,
“If I were as backwards as the Kaelish,
I’d think our son had been taken from us
and replaced with a changeling brat…”Or: Marya Hendriks reflects on how she came to live as a ghost of herself at St. Hilde's, and for what reasons she screams, but would never dream to leave.

Looked So Alive (Turns Out I’m Not Real) by sparrowmoth

Summary
Electricity shocks him awake, blacks out the memory of dreaming—or, was this the dream? It might be a nightmare. He’s not sure he’s awake. He’s not sure what’s happened since—oh… they had taken him into surgery. He hadn’t read the consent forms. He couldn’t read the forms, but—his father had been beside him. His father had held his hand, smiled like cracking ice in springtime, and assured him in a low voice, “It’s going to be alright. Trust me, Wylan. This is going to fix everything. You’re going to be better. You do want that, don’t you?” (Wylan had nodded, because he knew that he should, and—and because he was so dazed by it. Unsure if he was dreaming. For his father to be kind, for his father to speak like… when he was just a child, and his disease had not presented, and the future was bright.)
Or: A presumed standard hospitalization leaves Wylan at the mercy of Wright Reform Universal, a factory operation through which society's "undesirables" have their identities stripped and their minds systematically reprogrammed, giving them new purpose in line with their manufactured new identities—each with an upper class price tag for a wealthy pool of buyers.

SUPER GRAPHIC ULTRA MODERN BOY by sparrowmoth

Summary
Gert Van Verent Jr., better known as Junior, doesn’t know he owns Wylan Van Eck. He doesn’t know that they had played in this room together as children while their fathers talked merchant council business. He doesn’t see that Wylan is human, or ever was, and that’s all exactly as intended.
Or: A BBU (Box Boy Universe) inspired fic where Wylan has little to no memory of ever being Wylan. He only really knows a life as "Whisky," a rising internet sensation in adult videos and livestreams directed and produced by the aspiring influencer who owns him. That is, until two familiar strangers double-cross on a deal with that particular devil.

Summary
“Where are you going?”
“Back to the horses.
Get him up on his feet—
or carry him, I don’t care.
Just don’t keep me waiting.”Wylan heard soft grumbling
as he started to be shaken,
his cheeks lightly slapped.“Come on, merchling, open your eyes.
I swear, my Da’s got fainting goats
less dramatic than you are…”Or: Jesper and Kaz, a pair of wanted outlaws, kidnap a mercher's son for ransom. Nothing happens how anyone expects.

Soul to Burrow (Little Rabbit) — and other poems by sparrowmoth
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)
11 May 2025
Tags
Summary
What started as a single poem and now might well become a small collection of Grishaverse poetry, as the mood strikes.
1. Jesper-centric poem about love and family and a life rooted back in Novyi Zem, branching out to reach a future love.
2. Wylan-centric poem about his insecurities growing up "worthless," and how he might be to blame for his mother's "death."
3. Wylan-centric poem about a disturbing dream sequence in which his father hunts and preserves faeries, like Wylan, as trophies.
4. Kanej poem from Inej's POV at sea and Kaz's POV in Ketterdam, in which the angst of yearning reaches far across the true sea.
5. Jesper-centric poem about the immediate aftermath of his mother's death, the burial process, and his feelings of grief and anger.

Summary
Wylan couldn't read. He couldn't write. He could draw, and play the flute, and create chemical reactions that would blow holes in the strongest walls. He could see the dead, where their souls still lingered, clinging on to the world of the living. It was another defect, another madness his father had despaired of, had tried to force out of him.
The Crows all have their ghosts, though their forms change and grow and exist in different ways. This is how Wylan sees them.
(Or: I don't care that there's a heatwave, I want it to be Halloween already)

Summary
“Remember, the only way you’re coming is on my cock. I’m not going to touch you. And you are going to keep your hands to yourself.” Jesper strokes Wylan's heated cheek tenderly. “Do you think you can do that?”
It’s the same rules as last night. And the night before that. Possibly tomorrow night too. Until Wylan comes untouched or shouts the one word that ends this whole game.

Summary
"It’s not that bad..."
"Jesper there are chemical burns on my legs."
"In small amounts! You wiped your hands on your pants right? They seemed to have gotten most of the damage.”
"There is fabric melted into my skin.”
"Okay so yeah it is that bad." He frowned, his hand ghosting over Wylan’s skin like he was terrified to hurt him even more. "We’re going to need to find a healer Wy.” Jesper mumbled.
Or, Wylan plans an experiment. It goes wrong. This is the aftermath.

Summary
Wylan Van Eck is a rising star. Jesper Fahey is hoping to make ends meet each month with poorly paid gigs. Five years ago they met in a band called "The Crows" and for two years, their dreams were becoming a reality. That was until an offer to get signed fell only on Wylan, resulting in a bad breakup of both the band and Jesper.
For the next five years, Wylan grew in popularity as The Crows faded from memory. Though, not everything about celebrity life is as glamorous as Wylan makes it out to be. Something darker is at play.
With a past intertwined together, what will happen when fate inevitably draws them back together again? How much of a difference can five years really make?
