The lovely people at OwlCrate hired me a while back to do a Inej illustration for their May box. Since everyone is receiving their boxes now I think it’s safe to post. (OwlCrate is a monthly book box, they usually ship out 1 book with goodies from that book and other book series like candles, bathbombs, pins, bookmarks, prints etc)

 Inej is from one of my fav book series, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Modern Dregs AU #11

wylanvanwreck:

The Dregs’ ideal dates

  • listen, these kids are starved for love but sometimes they don’t quite know how to navigate the channels of romance
  • well, except for Nina and Jesper
  • they are the MASTERS of planning the perfect dates
  • let’s start with Nina
  • she’s the kind of person to treat you to your favorite restaurant, ice cream shop, give you kisses, squeeze your ass in public so everyone knows that whoever she is with is HERS
  • NO ONE ELSE’S
  • and of course, this person is Matthias
  • and he gets all antsy about PDA
  • “nina, they can see us” “let them watch, see if I care” “okay, but nina…………………………… I CARE
  • nevertheless, she always brings about a good time in the end
  • as for Jesper, that boy will plan a whole DAY of cute shit
  • a movie? check. food? check. speeding down the freeway at 100 mph? that’s an aphrodisiac, right?
  • clearly, if it’s exciting, then it qualifies as material for a date for him
  • and though Wylan would be down for that (in canon, he’s a fucking demo expert, he better be cool with adrenaline rush)
  • sometimes a day in is nice too
  • sometimes for a date he’ll serenade Jesper with the flute
  • don’t tell me Wylan isn’t the kid to throw rocks at your window to do just this because ALL MUSICIANS WHO ARE DATING SOMEONE DOES THIS SHIT
  • and Jesper swoons
  • a little much
  • one time he fell out of the window
  • “oh my god, Jesper, are you okay?” *wheezes* “it’s okay, i just fell in love” “……YOU COULD’VE DIED”
  • jesper’s a podge
  • as for Matthias
  • don’t tell me he can’t cook because you bet he does
  • he’ll cook a full eight-course meal if you asked him to
  • for Nina, it’s mostly waffles but he’ll do other sweet stuff to
  • flowers and candles and rose petals galore
  • even if the man’s blushing the whole time he sets up a table just for her
  • what a puppy
  • sometimes Kuwei likes to ask about the dates
  • “what did you guys do” “you’re too young, we’ll tell you when you’re older” “….does that mean you fucked”
  • and this is where Matthias runs away screaming
  • Kaz and Inej though
  • oh boy
  • they don’t know WHAT they like
  • Kaz doesn’t really have a preference as long as its not like long walks through the park or anywhere for that matter
  • most likely, he’d be completely fine with staying in and binge-watching shows he likes with the person he likes
  • and we all know that’s Inej
  • and though she convinces him sometimes to go out and actually do stuff for dates
  • like dress up, go out for dinner, the whole shebang
  • she’s not quite particular about anything either
  • for them, as long as they’re side by side, nothing else matters
  • that is, until Jesper calls one of them
  • “what are you doing” “i’m watching netflix with Inej” “WAIT, LIKE NETFLIX AND CHILL HOLY SHIT HAVE YOU DONE ANYTHING YET” “what the fuck jes” “USE PROTECTION”
  • sometimes inej falls asleep with her head on his shoulder
  • actually, nevermind, that is Kaz’s ideal date right there, end of story

modern au where kaz, a seventeen year old, wears full suits to school every day and anything else is “dressed down”

jesper: you know, you don’t have to dress up just to come to dinner

kaz, genuinely confused: …this shirt has barrel cuffs and a point collar

jesper, in jorts: …what does that mean?

nina, wearing pajama shorts and one of inej’s t-shirts that says “KNIFE TO SEE YOU”: really, jesper, you don’t even know what a point collar is? have we taught you nothing?

neenya:

“You shouldn’t make friends with crows,” he’d told her.

“Why not?” she asked.

He’d looked up from his desk to answer, but whatever he’d been about to say had vanished on his tongue.

The sun was out for once, and Inej had turned her face to it. Her eyes were shut, her oil-black lashes fanned over her cheeks. The harbor wind had lifted her dark hair, and for a moment Kaz was a boy again, sure that there was magic in this world.
