Summary
Kaz rolls his eyes. “I’m not all that interested in playing The Oppression Olympics with an abused toddler,” he says firmly, leaning away from the file Nikolai still holds open. “Let’s just meet with him already — where is she?” He glances at his watch, shifting his sleeve cuff back to reveal its face.
Or,
Kazolai adopt two struggling kids: a toddler and a teenager. Includes introductions to the kids and Kazolai loving them from the very beginning.

Summary
Based on this tumblr post:
I have decision paralysis because the angel and the devil on my shoulder are always fucking each other and they ignore me when I ask for help so I never know what to doOr,
Kaz isn’t a very good shoulder devil in Nikolai’s opinion. Nikolai isn’t a very good shoulder angel in Kaz’s opinion. Inej’s opinion on the two of them working together is what’s actually important here.

the devil's 6 week tango by DancingShadows9174

Summary
Nikolai’s thesis? The quality of a succubi/incubi’s gained levels of energy depend on their attraction to their partner.
Kaz is participating solely as a control group member, since Nikolai needs some of those. This plan backfires so badly you’d be forgiven for thinking that a gun went off.Or,
Kaz’s side of Nikolai’s data collection for his pilot study. Featuring all kinds of mental gymnastics that would be fairly impressive if Kaz’s mind also had a broken knee. His doesn’t, though, so it’s mostly just exasperating for anyone even remotely involved.

trying to break the ice of your cold exterior (and this conversation) by DancingShadows9174

Summary
Kaz scowls at Nina, who is speaking to him rapidly enough that if someone who doesn’t speak German were to try to eavesdrop, they’d have to be a native, like he is, or otherwise really, really fluent, like Nina is. “I don’t understand why I have to do anything, actually,” he protests. “This is ridiculous, I’m not your personal chef.”
“I didn’t say that,” Nina points out. And she didn’t. Not really. “All I’m saying is, you can cook better than I can, and besides, I’m going to send someone in here to help you.”
“I’d rather you didn’t,” Kaz grumbles, heading for the kitchen. “One person being forced into servitude is quite enough for one party.”
Nina laughs behind him. “Let me go get him.”
Kaz sighs deeply and finds a big knife to start cutting vegetables with. Maybe he’ll make this other person cut the onions.
Nina comes back with a conventionally attractive man with coiffed blond hair and an easy smile.
Kaz hates him instantly.Or,
Kaz doesn’t speak Russian. Nikolai doesn’t speak German. Nina wants them to cook together, and she doesn’t seem to mind or care much about the language barrier. But Kaz certainly does!

Fandom Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo, The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
08 Apr 2026
Summary
Kazolai adopt two struggling kids: a toddler and a teenager. This is simply me figuring out how all it might go if such a thing were to happen :) — each chapter is technically based on a familial relationship (eg. son, father, niece, etc).
Will include two stories:
>> never go in search of love // go in search of life… (the introduction to Rahul and Harper and the building family dynamics)
>> …and life will find you // the love you seek (a continuation of the now established family dynamics)The format of perspectives for both stories will be: Nikolai POV, Harper POV, Rahul POV, and Kaz POV; repeat

“I agree,” Kaz keeps his expression neutral. “What else did you have in mind?”Nikolai is a serial killer, and Kaz tries his hand at being prey.

Summary
Nikolai had a soulmate once. One who wrote to him in words he hadn't understood. But that was a long time ago.
Kaz was once a boy who dreamed of meeting his soulmate across the sea. He left that boy at the bottom of the harbor with Jordie's body.
A soulmate AU where words written on the skin appear on their soulmate.

Summary
Someone has discovered Kaz's secret. Who are they? What will they do with this information? And at what cost?
----------
Excerpt from chapter 32:
“You are scared of him.”
Instead of the surge of retaliative emotion she had expected from such a definitive blow, Inej simply appeared genuinely puzzled, cocking her head slightly to one side. “Scared of who?”
“Him,” the girl spat, as if articulating the most obvious of facts to a simpleton. “When you stood by his side you were afraid. I could... tell.”
After pausing for a moment in obvious contemplation, she saw realisation wash over Inej’s face. Looking to the floor, the Lady whispered, “Never,” as he shook her head in sombre reverie. “I feel fear for him at times, but never of him. I know that Kaz would never hurt me.”
