I Think We're Alone Now
I'm back and I may have already written another short Grishaverse fic... it's Wesper, okay, and this post inspired me too much. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!

It has been an hour since Kaz’s little show with Oomen, and Wylan is still vomiting over the side of the boat. It isn’t his fault that all these other people are accustomed to watching gruesome displays like that; surely even Kaz must have been sick when he first saw someone get so brutally murdered. Or perhaps the Bastard of the Barrel had never felt any compassion. Wylan is mostly there for hostage purposes, anyway, but what that says about Dirtyhands’ morality is beyond him.
The only other person in sight is Jesper, who is awkwardly patting his back in an approximation of a comforting gesture. Nina is still looking after a dangerously injured Inej, Matthias is probably skulking just out of her sight while plotting her violent murder, and no one dares go near Kaz, who is standing at the very front of the boat, a murderous expression on his face.
Wylan leans over the side again to let another portion of dinner out, and he feels rather than sees Jesper gag behind him.
“I wish Milo were here,” the lanky sharpshooter says wistfully, and Wylan tenses up a little bit. Between the half-blind corpse and the turbulent sea, however, he doesn’t get time to ask any questions.
The boat ride is even worse on the way back. Wylan can’t exactly describe the trip there as a pleasure cruise, but the heavy weight of an approaching storm follows them the entire way from Fjerda to the more familiar streets of home, and death hangs heavy over the ship.
Wylan doesn’t see Nina or Matthias for the five days it takes to reach the unwelcoming dock of Ketterdam, and he rarely sees Inej either. Since Kaz is off doing whatever he does between jobs - scheming, probably - the only person left to lighten the mood slightly is Jesper, and his incessant complaining isn’t really helping.
{o0o}
It’s late one evening and the two of them are huddled together against the railing at the front of the ship, a shared blanket wrapped around their shoulders. Wylan huddles closer to Jesper, burrowing the tip of his nose in the taller man’s shoulder. The wind is unforgiving and cold tonight, and they should really head inside, but neither of them can quite pluck up the courage to try and sleep while Nina hovers from one world to the next in the room beside them.
Jesper tilts his head slightly, resting his chin on Wylan’s head. “You know what would make this trip better?” he asks, his voice distant.
“Hot cocoa?” Wylan replies, and Jesper laughs. “What, I would kill for some hot cocoa right now.”
Wylan can feel Jesper’s smile against the top of his head. “The little merchling has finally become as violent as the rest of us. This certainly is something worth celebrating!”
Wylan huffs. “I’m not as violent as Kaz.”
Jesper laughs again, a sound akin to music in Wylan’s ear. He thinks that maybe it’s his favourite noise in the whole world.
“What I was going to say,” Jesper continues, still smiling, “is that this ship would be so much better if Milo was here.”
Wylan tenses suddenly, and gently pulls away. Milo. Jesper had mentioned him on the way out as well. There is mourning in his tone; Wylan doesn’t think he can live up to the legacy of a man who can make Jesper sound quite so forlorn, who he wants on what must be one of the most difficult voyages of his life.
“You alright, Wy?” Jesper asks, feeling the warmth of the younger boy disappear from his side.
“I’m going to sleep,” Wylan declares, trying not to sound disappointed, and he leaves before he can see the hurt expression on Jesper’s face.
It’s been six months since their last job; six months since Wylan Van Eck became Wylan Fahey (illegally, unfortunately, but what in their life wasn’t?). He couldn’t be happier. He’s living with the man of his dreams in a house that has actually become home, and together, they are so rich they don’t need to ever work again. Even though he is only eighteen, finally a man, Wylan feels like he can finally get some rest.
They are relaxing in the garden one day, Wylan’s head resting in his husband’s lap as they watch the sunset beyond the line of trees that mark the edge of their property. It’s peaceful - or, at least, as peaceful as one can get in Ketterdam - and Wylan can’t help but get lost in his own thoughts, reminiscing about old days and the many adventures they had been on.
“The garden is pretty big,” Jesper says, and it’s the third time he has mentioned it in as many days.
Wylan opens one eye and squints up at him. “Planning on some gardening? Sounds a bit boring for you.”
Jesper shakes his head, not looking down at Wylan. “You think I would do something relaxing, love? Are you sure you didn’t hit your head this morning?”
Wylan shoves him gently. “Shut up.”
“No,” Jesper continues, his eyes unfocusing into the distance as he gently runs his fingers through Wylan’s hair. “I was just thinking that Milo would like it here.”
Wylan sits up abruptly and Jesper looks up at him in surprise.
“Okay,” Wylan says, fed up. “Who the fuck is Milo?”
Jesper looks at him for a long moment. “A goat?”
They stare at each other for a minute, and then they both burst out laughing. They miss the sunset entirely, too busy giggling and gasping for air and clutching at each other in their mirth.
“I was jealous of a goat?” Wylan chuckles, when they finally manage to calm down enough to breathe properly.
Jesper smirks down at him, the orange sky a halo behind his head. “It’s a good thing I married you for your looks, love.”
Wylan bats at him again, grinning. “Oi!”
They are both still smiling when their lips meet, and they are still smiling late into the night. If a goat miraculously appears on the property in time for Jesper’s birthday, then that’s their business, don’t you think?
"So,who is the leader out of you"
Kaz: Me
Everyone else: Inej
Kaz: What are you talking about? I am the leader of the Dregs
Matthias: i am not a Dreg
Nina: I was only there temporally
Wylan: I am only an asociate
Jesper: Remember i retired to live on a mansion?
Kuwei: And isn't Inej a captain now? so she no longer works with you
Milo: "bleat"
Nina: And if you and Inej for some reason end up as sworn enemies, i´d choose join her gang over yours
Matthias: I´d kill you if Inej orders me to
Kaz: You´d do it anyway
Matthias: Good point
Jesper: Bros before hoes so...that means i´d go with Inej too
Wylan: Hoes before bros so i have to go with Jesper
Kuwei : I don't think i´ve ever crossed a word with Inej ever.Yet i would rather go with her over you
Nina: In fact, if you tried to ask the actual crows of the barrel.Well, they remember who feeds them.
Kaz:
Kaz:
Kaz : Who i´m kidding? i´d pick Inej over myself too
appreciation post for honorary crow milo the goat 🐐🥰🤍
Milo the goat is the new baby yoda.
Why did they bring Milo?
I know it was to calm Jesper down n' stuff but like- what?? How on earth did the conductor know Jesper would need Milo? If it was Kaz, I'd probably accept it no questions asked because he *knows* Jesper, he always has some weird plan but no! The conductor, who does not really know Jesper, somehow knew!
Either I'm missing something or he just looked at Jesper and said, "hmm, that man needs a goat!"
