There Are So Many Scenes I Need To See In The Spin-off And This Is High Up The List - Tumblr Posts

You know which scene I desperately need to see in the spin-off? The scene where Wylan confesses to Kaz that he can't read. Think about it: we don't actually see this scene playing out in the books - it's just referenced in 1) the scene where they confront Van Eck at the end of Six of Crows, and 2) in Crooked Kingdom after Genya tailors Wylan to look like himself again. I want to see Wylan make the decision to tell Kaz that he can't be used as leverage against Van Eck. I want to see him struggle to get the words out as he confesses his greatest shame to Kaz, and I want to see Kaz just shrug in response because "so what if he [Wylan] couldn't read?" I want to see Wylan completely shocked by Kaz's indifference to the fact that he can't read - the shock mixed with an odd sense of relief and liberation because this is the first step to him starting to accept all of himself. I want to see him agree to being tailored to look like Kuwei despite knowing the risks, and I want to see Kaz being completely taken aback by Wylan's willingness to do so. I want to see Wylan bet Kaz that Van Eck would kill his own child without hesitation, and I want to see Kaz's reaction to how Van Eck is actually a terrible man who would end his son's life without an ounce of hesitation or remorse. Even if it's just a flashback that plays during the ending confrontation, I'd exchange some sort of currency to see Jack and Freddy act out that scene because I just know they'd kill it. (There's a reason why I wrote a one-shot inspired by this scene which you can read here if you're interested :) )
