Sneakpeak below the cut:

When Daichi finally gets to settle down several hours later, he is exhausted, sweaty and frankly, he doesn’t know when he last had fun like this!

A few beers loosen up his tension and the music does the rest. He doesn’t even know anymore who dragged him to the dancefloor, but he is gratefulsomeone did. There was a lot of stuff he just had to… move away!

Now, however, his throat is dry and his head is starting to protest against the onslaught of loud music. He’s craving for the calm of the lounge and for a chance to sit down.

Suddenly thirty-three feels incredibly old!

It’s a Friday night and he feels like the place is getting more and more cramped by the minute.

Eventually, he manages to fight his way back into the fourth floor and lets out a relieved breath.

A quick glance into their corner tells him, that Yahaba, Watari and Saru have joined their merry round, then he is intercepted by Iwaizumi.

“Hey, you seen Tooru?”, the other asks him, big jugs of beer in both hands.

“I uh….”, and Daichi turns around, staring down the stairs he just came from. The only other people behind him are Bokuto and Kuro.

“What?”, the latter asks.

“You seen Oikawa?”, Daichi relays.

Both men turn around, look down behind them, mirroring Daichi perfectly. “Odd - could have sworn he was right behind us”, Kuro mumbles.

“Oh I think he got held up by some girls”, Bokuto thinks out loud.

“For fuck’s sake - The damn idiot!”, Iwaizumi grumbles out, then he pushes the beer at Daichi with an unnerved, “Hold this”, and stomps past them to rescue his husband from his fans - is what Daichi assumes.

Now that he has been tasked with the alcohol, Daichi strides with a little more purpose, then he set’s the jugs down on the table in the middle of the couch arrangement.

“Where’s Zumi going?”, Hanamaki asks.

“The knight has set out to rescue the princess”, Kuro poetically explains and a uniform “Aha”, runs through the entire group.

“Hey, where is the rest?”, their supreme bedhead proceeds to ask.

Instead of a verbal answer, Hanamaki simply takes a very long slurp out of a bright pink drink, that looks rather toxic to Daichi and points over to the bar.

The three of them turn to look and it knocks the wind out of Daichi’s sails in one swift blow.

Suga, Akaashi, Kenma, Yaku, the weird redhead and the barkeeper are all gathered where the counter forms a corner, hunched together, apparently having the conversation of their lives, with big grins painting their faces and when the redhead says something, Suga giggles into his hand and Akaashi looks as amused as Daichi may have ever seen him.

In between them, a tablet of shots is standing on the counter and while Akaashi is opening tiny umbrellas, Suga and Yaku are poking olives onto them before placing them in the alcohol. The redhead just sits there, occasionally snacking said olives, Kenma is still deep under in his phone and the barkeeper is preparing another tablet with shots, those ones weirdly reddish.

“The gateway to heaven”, Watari announces.

“More like: The Last Judgement”, Futakuchi corrects him.

“Ah, I know for a fact that three of the judges can be bribed with pop tarts!” , Kuro dismisses that.

(I really don‘t know how my pride month doodles turned into this but eh - I like it. Also like style experiment 3.984.643.893.645 but shhhhhhhh)

Accidentially made a little artsy thingy by changing the background colour while doing a final check on all layers and opacities - as one can see I had a lot of fun goofing around with this one.

Then his fellow kings and him enter the room Hajime has dreaded for months. He doesn’t really know what he expected. Maybe a torture chamber with a thousand eyes painted onto the walls and the constant, hellish echo of people laughing at him, but the council chamber is just another, circular room, decorated with noble curtains and golden trinkets. ~ All the King‘s Blades, Chapter 2 - Challenge

🇯🇵 Iwaizumi Hajime (27), Athletic Trainer (✒︎ on Ao3)

2021 Olympic Team | Haikyu!! | Timeskip | Rating: T | 2.5k words

“You see, Trainer-san,” Yaku clears his throat. “You’re a meme.” “What?” Hajime blinks at him. “A meme… a contextual internet phenomenon amusing the masses,” Ushijima explains. “I know what a meme is, why am I one?” Yaku opens the laptop, finally releasing Atsumu’s fingers and shows him the Twitter page. Iwaizumi Hajime (27), athletic trainer. Yep, Hajime is a meme now.

Or: Everyone has a crush on Trainer-san! Don't really remember how or why this idea came to me, but I hope you enjoy this small story — Big thanks go to @matsinko for helping me with beta reading 💕

Okay so basically I have two ways to approach this.

On that is just me being a petty sucker for love and the other a little more… scientific.

So what if we had them going all the way to ‚properly‘ - which I just assume is kissing and/or sex.

For one Kaz shows that he is starting to work on his trauma by holding hands with Inej at the end of CK.

And Inej with her backstory at the menagerie it‘s like: Bruh, don‘t get me started on how she must feel about sex!

So they both just start to tackle their individual problems slowly, which is absolutely fine (and possibly leaves room for a third book).

But they are just so darn hecking cute together I want them too smooch for pete's sake!

(As I said I just am sucker for love in a well developed story)

And so, the let us say ‚scientific‘ reason I think they are ‚only‘ holding hands at the end of CK (appart from a possible third book) isn‘t Kaz character but Inej.

Kaz is shown in his flashback scenes that he actually tried before to live without the gloves (with that other girl, sorry I forgot her name, that he was collecting fight bets with). He just choose not to, because working through his trauma was getting in the way of business and that was simply more important to him and his big revenge scheme. So I think if Leigh had just started to ‚rehabilitate‘ Kaz just a little earlier in the books she could have comfortably made him confident enough to go out ‚properly‘ with Inej by the end.

And that is why I think It‘s actually about her and her past as prostitute.

Idk how to explain this but at least to me, Inej might be trying to work through her history but even close to the end she is still terrified by the menagerie.

She is not like Kaz, who sort of choose to just go along with his trauma, she is still somewhat in it‘s thrall.

So that will just take a lot more time to unravel and she is only just beginning with it.

Sure she stuck her middle finger into Tante Heleens face but isn‘t that the exact reason why she wants to be a pirate and fight? To work her way through the trauma?

To become stronger? Strong enough she can leave the nightmares of the menagerie behind once and for all?

So in conclusion

*Clears throat after typing a lot of probably unnecessary explanation that got kinda of topic at the end*

Leaving aside my petty desires and also I my imminent need a Wesper/Kanej double date because fu** you, that is my jam!

*nervous sweating*

I don‘t think it would have been realistic for Inej to make that step, even at the end of CK.

Which is just a too long explanation of: I want it, even though it definitely doesn‘t fit into the novel!!

So I am glad Leigh didn‘t actually let them get together ‚properly‘ - and here come my big big hope - yet.

(Even though it would have been just so cute *silent sobbing*)

Also @arin-saintsforsakencity - no problemo ;)

Oh man so a couple days ago I met a high school teacher who had read Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom and she had the coldest fucking take I’ve ever heard despite being otherwise a very smart, sensitive person. I knew she had read them and I was so excited to talk about my close readings of metaphor and subversion/reinforcement of racial tropes and all the other stuff I’ve never quite managed to type up. So I asked her what she thought. And she said.

She said that she wished Kaz and Inej had been able to “properly” get together at the end of CK and I almost choked on my fucking orange soda. I’ve never been so let down by a literary opinion in my entire life.

I managed to argue with her a little but her heart wasn’t as in it as mine was. I’m so disappointed. So yeah if you hold this same bad opinion, this is an open invitation to hash it out with me.

Fic by Charly Lee: ⇝ @charlythelee

When people think about the Blackbell family, they tend to think about Blackbell Heavy Industries. They think of oil, of grime, of gears grinding tirelessly, of cogs turning and the hissing of hot metal being pressed into shape. It just fits. Black-Bell. Dark and intimidating, like the smoke of battle, demanding caution and respect.
