This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you

SixThree of Crows and their love pledges

However many differences there are between the three Crows ships, they have at least one thing in common: the way in which one person says they love the other.

I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk, I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together—knives drawn, pistol blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.

Kaz values his independence, the walls he built between himself and the rest of the world, above many things - almost above all else. But to Inej he says that he`ll throw all his plans, goals and schemes to the wind - for her. He says 'We', he says 'Together'. The wolf is not so lone after all, right, Mr. Brekker? Well, the crow is certainly not. To admit he`s not all about 'each man for himself' to Inej is not a burden after all - because he loves her.

I have been made to protect you. Only in death will I be kept from this oath.

For Nina Matthias opens his mind and leaves behind his occupation that he committed himself to. For him any oath is not easily given - and eveh harder broken. But Nina - and his feelings for her - help him to see the error of his ways and bring forth the best part of him. That`s why he readily gives her what is most precious to him - his faith, his loyalty, to the end of his days (screw you, CK Chapter 40). And it is not a loss for him - because he loves her.

I can read to him.

Jesper is a free bird - always on the move, never resting, taking risks, cherishing the danger. Yet he commits himself to Wylan - to keep his secret, to help him guard it, to know that Wylan depends on him. Jesper`s willing to tame his restlessness, to delve into himself in search of qualities he didn`t even think he possessed - for Wylan. And it`s not a hardship - because he loves him.

Kaz, Matthias and Jesper all make a sacrifice by giving up something essential for their loved ones` sake. And that`s the best kind of sacrifice - because in making it they overcome their own pain, prejudice, vices and weaknesses. By parting with something they hold very important they become greater not lesser, stronger not weaker.

Also: I just love how Kaz`s pledge is the longest and Jesper`s is the shortest. Breaking some stereotypes here:)
