Everyday, Just a Little or a Little Bit by Jazzythursday
Fandoms: Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, Shadow and Bone (TV)

Summary
Wylan keeps waiting for it all to go wrong.
Ever since that first night, after they beat Pekka Rollins, ever since the night after that, when it wasn’t over. Every morning since, when it still wasn’t.
Happiness isn’t reliable. Peace is not permanent. People do not stay. This is what Wylan knows; it’s the only proven hypothesis he has any reason to trust. And every day, he wonders how long he has left before everything good that’s happened over the last month is inevitably whisked away.
Or: the scenic route to the Van Eck reveal. Wylan Van Eck, in the months following the Crow’s return to Ketterdam. Struggling with his past, relearning love in its many forms, and worrying an awful lot about how to keep it.

Summary
He lights up with it. Like the knowledge he collects needs to be poured out in bits before it overflows. He talks and explains and it’s fast and free and it’s so Wylan, through and through—and then it’s like he catches himself. Like he dims once he realises what he’s done.
Jesper listens.

Cutting Losses by Jazzythursday

Summary
Wylan is no stranger to one night stands. He can’t say he gets around very frequently, but enough to know the general plot of how they're supposed to go.
Flirt, drink, fuck, leave. The order isn’t necessarily set in stone, but the list ends the same every time.
He doesn’t even remember falling asleep, really.

Call to Rest/Call to Wake by Jazzythursday

Summary
His routine has changed in the weeks following their triumphant return from Ravka.
Soft mornings at the Slat. Ketterdam has a rare sunny spell, and Jesper reflects on all the ways his life has shifted largely to accommodate the inclusion of one particular demo expert.

No Right Way for the Blue or Black Days by Jazzythursday

Summary
Wylan wakes up alone.
He knows, immediately, that something is wrong. The only disturbance of the covers has been made by himself; the other side of the bed is untouched, except for where his hand had landed on Jesper's pillow during the night. The rest is left unruffled and empty.
He hadn’t come back.
Jesper has a run in with some debt collectors after a solo job, and comes back to the Slat bruised, bloody, embarrassed and, despite all insistence to the contrary, not fine. Neither of them take it well.
