Kanej week day 1 - mythology

Here’s a WIP/extract bc this fic isn’t even close to being finished but I wanted to put something up for the start of kanej week and I’m always a slut for a soulmates au. Hope you enjoy :)

Every time he took his gloves off, Kaz became more and more grateful for them. Once, when he was alone, at least, he'd been able to take them off in peace. Now, it was always a reminder of something he couldn't escape: Inej Ghafa was his soulmate.

It wasn't a new development–his tattoo had started growing that fateful day in the Menagerie, prompting him to look around and spot her. Since then, he'd gotten used to Inej watching him and the accompanying itch of his tattoo growing. She did it a lot–the tattoo had now taken over one of his arms and was slowly spreading across his back and chest.

But just because Inej was his soulmate didn't mean he was hers. So he kept the glove on at all times, even when he was alone in his room. He couldn't bear to look at his hand, eternally blackened with inked vines.

###

Inej wanted so badly to believe in soulmates. Her parents had been–the golden lines of their tattoos snaking down their arms when she was born and only growing as she did. Her father's hands, last she remembered them, were covered in tightly packed curls, shining golden in the sunlight.

Inej's tattoo was black. Vines that tangled around her legs, winding their way up her stomach. But they grew slowly–Kaz rarely looked at her.

It was for this reason that she didn't tell anyone about her tattoo, not even Kaz. She wasn't going to kid herself that he was in love with her and she wouldn't settle for it just because the universe told her to.

She would find love for herself, if she ever found it. So many things in her life had been out of control but this? This would be her choice.

thinking about summer at the barns again

I do not know steven in real life

related to the post i just reblogged: my ideal post-canon bad kids ending is they all move in together: i like to imagine it's not mordred or seacastor manor but maybe a giant apartment or their own house, and they all just commute via portal (a la compass points & ayda) home and to various lives. like. riz has a detective agency in bastion city. fig travels between hell, leviathan, and home. adaine works partially in fallinel for oracle things, or maybe in bastion city at a less oracle based job. like. imagining everybody in the roommate group chat wondering if riz fell asleep on his desk again so kristen pops into the portal, tosses him back through into their kitchen, and he lands on all fours hissing like a cat. fig is late for game night because she's jamming in hell so adaine just shouts for her through the flaming hell portal in their living room. gorgug handing everyone a packed lunch before they go. group bad kids kitchen is INSANE. fabian: can't cook despite being bullied into learning. he is so bad at it. adaine can make simple meals and likes cooking. pretty good at assembling sandwiches though. fig and kristen can both cook competently but fig hates doing it. riz can cook but makes the most insane optimized shit you've ever seen. gorgug buys groceries and sorts out the chore rotation calendar. adaine put a silence ward around kristen's room. they have a version of cat shelves on the walls but they're little rivers full of water so boggy can float when he wants to. giant crystal tv. fabian has a pull up bar in his doorway. the hangman switches between hellhound form for couch time and ear scratchies and motorcycle form to just chill in the garage. their living room couch is enormous specifically to fit all of them and fig still perches on the armrests and kristen sits on the floor and leans back on gorgug's legs. all of the furniture in their house is built sturdy and enchanted for strength so gorgug doesn't have to worry about breaking it. their dining room table is specially designed so riz can just sit on top of it rather than dealing with a weird chair situation. they have strip lights on the walls, even.
