Kanej Vampire/Hunter AU. While eliminating a business rival, Kaz saves a young girl from blood slavery. Years later, a mysterious vampire hunter surfaces, the likes of which the underworld has scarcely seen. Quiet, deadly, and undefeated. No name or face is attached to the bodycount; only an anxiously whispered title: the Wraith.
“When things go wrong in the Barrel, it’s better to know about it and pretend it was the plan rather than play catch up, Inej.
Wylan’s pointer finger tapped a steady rhythm against the heavy oak table, while Jesper started to pace up and down the length of the room.
It wasn’t unusual for the three of them to worry over Kaz. But for the first time, Kaz wasn’t there to dispel their anxiety. His rough voice wasn’t there to mock, tease, or get annoyed at their yammering.”
[Image ID: Image 1 is a close up of image 2. Image 2 shows Kaz, Jesper, Wylan, and Nina on a roof top at night after a nearly failed heist. It’s dark except for a few city lights, the glowing clock tower, and the light from the moon over the water. All of them are dressed up in party clothes except Kaz who is in his usual crisp black suite and holding his cane. Kaz is sitting slightly apart from the others staring out at the harbor. Jesper is smirking at Kaz and has his arm is around Wylan, his legs crossed. Wylan is combing his hands through Nina’s hair as she leans back into his lap, her head resting on her fist, healed shoes discard in favor of bare feet. Both Wylan and Nina are looking out over the harbor as well. Nina is holding onto a stolen bottle of whisky, but still manages to point down to the harbor where the ship The Wraith has just docked.
