Summary
Kaz runs as fast as he has in his entire life, but it’s not going to be enough.
He can hear the flapping of the heavy leathery wings, and, quite frankly, the copious amounts of sweat dripping down his straining body can probably be smelled by the beast from a mile away. Two failed attempts to get the volcra to remember that he’s Nikolai Lantsov later, and Kaz is being hunted; chased through a dark forest at midnight.
And he cannot run anymore.Or,
Nikolai is a volcra, and he is chasing Kaz.

Summary
Kaz drives Nikolai to a location that Nikolai does not know what it is. All he told him was to wear his collar.
He’d of course made certain Nikolai even wanted to participate in sex right now, before he’d even led him to the car.
Nikolai had nodded emphatically as he’d gotten his collar out of his top drawer to hand to Kaz to put it on him. “I need to feel useful,” he’d whispered as Kaz had secured it carefully around his throat.
“I can help with that,” Kaz had whispered back to him, nodding once as Nikolai’s silence went into effect the second the collar snapped into place.Or,
Kaz takes his sex slave Nikolai to a glory hole.

Technically based on a meme that was like:
Button Option 1: being humiliated and called a prince
Button Option 2: being praised and called a slut
Person: *heavy breathing; can’t decide*But, like, a Kazolai version for Kinktober bc it happens to include all three of the official prompts for Day 4 lmao

Summary
Kaz didn’t even want to be here tonight.
But, as usual, his wishes have been completely steamrolled.
“You’re such an introvert,” Nina had rolled her eyes when he’d denied her his presence.
“Something wrong with that, Zenik?” Kaz had snapped over his paperwork.
“Something’s wrong when you use it as an excuse to ditch social situations that are good for your mental health, you know,” she’d pulled out of her ass.
Kaz had frowned harder at her. “Don’t you try to micromanage my mental health, it’s counterproductive at the very least —”
“— what, are you scared you’ll have fun?” Nina had scoffed.
Kaz had scowled at her. “No. Nothing about that situation sounds fun enough for me to be scared of it. And I’m not scared, I’m telling you no. Take a cue for once.”Or,
Kaz gets roped into participating in Nina’s key party, and then some.

Summary
Kaz’s skin hurts with the prickling of red hot embarrassment widespread in it. He’s fully naked right now, and that’s not helping.
Nikolai’s voice is behind him, has been for the past few minutes as more and more people have been coming into the room. Some to watch, another to help fuck Nikolai, none of them to so much as touch Kaz. Nikolai gets to, a little, for a while. That’s the extent of Kaz’s participation in this ostensible orgy. “Hey, love, can you kneel up for me? I’ve got the strap-on as lubed up as it can be.”
Someone says something behind Nikolai, but they’re too far away from Kaz’s burning ears for him to properly hear them.
Nikolai laughs. “Oh, we’ve been preparing him for weeks now,” he says, to the further embarrassment of Kaz where he’s leaned over the edge of the couch, kneeling up to present his ass to his boyfriend. He wants to hide in a deep hole of shame as he hears the same someone give a little amused laugh.Or,
Kaz doesn’t understand how Nikolai can stand to say such embarrassing things during sex. He will never figure out that part, but he will experience the embarrassment every time.
(Day 2 of Kinktober prompt(s): orgy, embarrassment)

Summary
This is my 2026 Kinktober entries, and they’ve all got Kazolai in them at least. Most of them are solely Kazolai, altho some of them have other relationships included as well. Everything will be tagged accordingly ofc 🥰
Will contain 30 oneshots (and also the 3rd chapter of a 2025 Kinktober fic lol), mostly based on the quote unquote “official” Kinktober prompts, and w/ a notable, very large deviation from my typical comfort zone in writing smut (my personal goal was to expand my comfort zone mentally, and BOY DID I DO JUST THAT—!), so there’s that too lol 💙

Summary
A sub-series within Merry Kinktober 2026 (Kazolai edition) that features master!Kaz x slave!Nikolai stories (basically, what it says on the tin 😊) [mostly because my premise for Day 4 followed easily into my premise for Day 5, and I figured, welp, might as well make Day 5 a sequel for Day 4 🥰]

As the title suggests, I accidentally gave Kaz BPD, and then I just...continued to do so for several installments <3 This is very much a soup of BPD and CPTSD symptoms cooked on high for way too long, so make of that what you will.

Summary
“What’s on the agenda then?”
“I should kill you.”
“Naturally.”
“But that would be such a waste.”
“I agree,” Kaz keeps his expression neutral. “What else did you have in mind?”Nikolai is a serial killer, and Kaz tries his hand at being prey.

Summary
Kaz Brekker’s foolproof museum heist goes entirely sideways when his prize's former owner—a 19th-century king miraculously preserved by magic—wakes up from a two-hundred-year nap. Now, Kaz is stuck with a living historical artifact who has a punchable smirk and absolutely nowhere to go in the 21st century.

Summary
Someone has discovered Kaz's secret.
Excerpt from chapter 34:
Otherwise frozen in place, Wylan’s vision danced across the message before him. Despite being hewn in the muted grey-brown palette of natural charcoal (the type claimed from the burnt remains of a hearth or coal stove, rather than the darker compressed medium often favoured by artists of the higher-classes) on a coarse base of faded brown packaging paper, the portrait was expertly rendered. The hand of the artist skillfully capturing more than the subject’s features: a hint of avarice in the small, dark eyes set deeply beneath light, wispy brows; an air of conceit in the attitude of the short, snub nose slightly off-centre in a broad, doughy face; a pompous vanity to the fine, ash-coloured hair over-groomed into limp waves around a wide, rounded forehead. Features that Wylan realised with a start, formed an all-too familiar countenance.

Summary
“How are you doing, Brekker?” Nina asked when Inej left, and the door finally shut with a soft click. Kaz didn’t bother to look up from his work, tiredly scratching through some form or another.
“Polite of you to ask,” he muttered. Nina tilted her head, waiting for the sarcasm to come out full force. “You’re sweet to care, Zenik. I’m touched. Truly.”
“I don’t care,” Nina said loftily, though her eyes were fixed on his face. She hesitated, a little unsure if she wanted to leave this untouched or not. It somehow felt dirty to keep it a secret, though. Nina didn’t need the details, but she also wanted Kaz to know she wasn’t trying to hide anything. Taking a long breath, she continued. “But the voice in the canal asked me to make sure you’re okay.”
Or
As Nina’s corpsewitch powers grow, the voices of the dead get stronger. Sometimes, it’s painful to hear them.
