snowflake_challenge #4: In your own space, add something to your fandom’s canon.

Let's go with Six of Crows since I'm currently in the middle of re-reading Crooked Kingdom and this canon is fresh in my mind. Be mindful of spoilers. (I haven't read anything outside of Six of Crows and Crooked Kingdom, and am aware that there's a book set post-Crooked Kingdom. In this house, we ignore what we want to ignore!)

*

When everything's done and dusted and the band of crows seemingly has parted ways:

• Inej sends Kaz letters from The Wraith detailing secrets she's discovered. This is her way of sharing her adventures on the seas with him while pretending that her reasoning for sending letters is all business. Eventually, she removes her own armour and sends him letters because she wants to, not because it's business.

• Kaz writes to Inej detailing the day-to-day of Ketterdam. She's his spider; she needs to know what's happening so she can stay informed. It's not because he misses her or anything. But the letters stop being business-oriented and including only details about the comings and goings of certain people in Ketterdam, and become a little more heartfelt as Inej transforms from his spider to the person he chooses to be emotionally vulnerable with.

• Inej continues to return to Ketterdam to see Kaz—and, sometimes, she brings those she's rescued who have no home to Ketterdam to start anew. Kaz helps them settle—it's the least he could do; he was once them, after all, and history will never repeat itself ever again.

• Kaz helps settle Inej's parents in Ketterdam. While they do want to return to Ravka, they want to see the home that Inej has created for herself here—and they learn very quickly that Inej will always come back to Ketterdam. The heart is an arrow and Inej's arrow always leads back to here.

• Matthias never dies. He and Nina travel to Ravka, where he's continuously exposed to the Grisha culture and sees similarities and differences between his culture and Nina's. He helps train Grisha in how to protect themselves in physical combat in the instance their powers are inaccessible. Nina learns how to use her new power and harness it.

• Because I am a fucking sap, Matthias and Nina travel to Fjerda and find Trassel. TRASSEL LIVES HAPPILY EVER AFTER. HE IS A GOOD DOGGO.

• Jesper learns how to use his Fabrikator powers to make weapons that complement Wylan's bombs. He also learns how to use his powers to guide his bullets and teaches that to other Fabrikators to give them an edge with their abilities, since they're not seen as an offensive type of Grisha. He and Wylan may travel to Ravka and Novyi Zem to learn, but he always comes back to Ketterdam. That's home.

• The Dregs become a safe haven for everyone without a family. Kaz never lets anyone ever starve or be sick or die without dignity again.

• Of course, there's another heist.

• And when they hear a version of jurda parem is being created under a different name, they, of course, go to destroy it. No Grisha will ever fall prey to its consequences again.
