Summary
It happened between lectures, in the narrow slice of time when the campus hummed without fully waking. Kaz had taken a shortcut through the old performance annex—a converted warehouse at the edge of campus housing rehearsal spaces, dance studios, and the kind of creative chaos he normally avoided. He only meant to pass through.
Music drifted out first.
Low, almost inaudible. A steady pulse, like a heartbeat slowed down. Kaz stopped without realizing he’d done so, his hand hovering near the doorframe of Studio C.
Inside, a girl was spinning.
Aerial silks—long ribbons of deep crimson fabric—hung from the ceiling, pooling softly on the polished floor. She moved with them as though they were extensions of her body, wrapping and releasing, lifting herself skyward with a strength that looked effortless only because it wasn’t.
Kaz forgot to breathe.

Summary
Every time he looked at her, he always knew that she would have caught his eyes that very first time they’d met, no matter the circumstances. If he’d been an awed young boy under her parent’s circus tent, a runner brutally halted in his hurried steps on his way to the Exchange, a Ketterdam university student fascinated by a young, fierce captain or an honest farmer stumbling his way into the city, Kaz knew he would have been smitten all the same.
No matter who he could’ve become, for him, there could be no one else but her.A little collection of alternate (somewhat canon compliant) kanej meetings <3
The title is, of course, inspired by Viktor's speech in arcane s2 because I still haven't recovered from it. -

Summary
Inej held the long rope tightly in her hands as she was lowered down into the dark storage building built into the Lieke mansion, from the huge skylight in the middle of the round roof. The rope was tied securely around her waist, and she held it surely, one hand above her head and the other just below her legs, as she plunged down into darkness.

Summary
The man glares at her, his gaze dark and intense and dangerous—but for whatever reason, Inej doesn’t feel like it will cut through her. Maybe that is just the stupidity of being drunk. The longer he stares at her, the more she wants to laugh. “You cannot kill me by looking at me, you know.”

Summary
Kaz only wanted to be left alone. He'd never killed any livestock or picked off any travelers that had strayed too far from the group. That doesn't keep Jan Van Eck from sending his men to capture the exotic beast for his circus. Under incredible stress at the hands of a brutal trainer by the name of Pekka Rollins, Kaz almost decides to give up hope.
That is, until one of the acrobats in the circus volunteers to care for him.
