Summary
Kaz is watching Nikolai carefully.
Nikolai wonders if their owners are about to fuck them together, in a surprise foursome? That could be fun —
“— Nikolai,” Kaz says in his Dom voice, instantly jolting Nikolai to attention. He looks over at his beautiful handler.
“You want to be good for me, right?” Kaz asks flatly.
Nikolai nods quickly. That’s all he ever wants to be.Or,
Puppy!Nikolai is told by his handler Kaz to top Jesper. He obeys, for Kaz.

Summary
Never before has Kaz ever felt he might explode with stress. He’s been incredibly stressed out before, perhaps even more stressed out than he is right now.
And yet, now is when he might explode from it.
He has a business meeting in Australia at the end of the week, and for whatever reason, the entire thought of getting there via an airplane is stressing him the fuck out.
It’s the anticipation of all the errant touching, and the pat down, and loud noises, he thinks.
So when Nikolai comes to see him in his office a couple days before he’s due to leave, he’s already psyched himself all the way out.
“Nervous?” Nikolai asks.
“No,” Kaz says through gritted teeth as he raps his fingertips against the desk hard.
“Anxious?” Nikolai tries.
Kaz pauses, still drumming his fingers. “...maybe,” he spits.Or,
A fluffy Kazolai story idea I got from a motherfucking Downy ad (and yes, I’m still upset that this is my reality of how I obtain story ideas)

Summary
Kaz stands carefully in the chamber shirtless. His cane is with Nikolai in the control booth. He won’t need it, and Nikolai doesn’t want him to be able to fight or injure the tentacles.
He breathes carefully, flexing his gloved hands carefully.
Nikolai’s voice comes into the chamber through the intercom. “Okay, first tentacle, Kaz. Where do you want it?”
Kaz considers it methodically. “Let it wrap around my torso a little bit — don’t let it squeeze just yet, though,” he warns him quickly.
“Got it,” Nikolai agrees.
The first dark purple tentacle comes out of the wall. It slowly approaches Kaz at eye level.Or,
Nikolai needs to do an experiment. Kaz volunteers.

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.

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.

Summary
Nikolai smirks up at where Kaz is staring down at him impassively. “Why should I?” He argues simply.
Kaz raises an eyebrow at him. “Because if you wanted to be fucked tonight at all, you’d do exactly as I told you to when I tell you to,” he says flatly. “Of course, we don’t have to do this tonight. It’s up to you.”
Nikolai narrows his eyes at him, smirk dropping for the most part. “Is it? Is it up to me, actually?”
Kaz shrugs. “Why wouldn’t it be? Unless you didn’t want to make any decisions —“
“— I want to choose,” Nikolai interrupts to say firmly.
“Then choose. Quickly,” Kaz drawls like he’s bored.
Nikolai hears the “quickly” part and chooses to ignore it. “Hmm. If I choose to be fucked tonight, how would you do it? Can you do it?”Or,
Nikolai needs to provide as much precum as possible if he wants this to go well.

Summary
Kaz is about to rip his coat out of Jesper’s hands entirely so he can chase the cheater down the block, when he finally notices…him.
And oh, fuck.
Kaz stares at the man entering the shop through the doorway, looking slightly concerned about what’s going on.
Kaz wants to bleed this man dry. That’s what this feeling is. He can tell that he’s got some disposable income — come on, he’s got a full sleeve of tattoos on his right arm, and a partial sleeve on his left, and something that goes up the side of his neck from — Kaz assumes — his back. That’s proof of lots of disposable income, because none of them look like stick-and-pokes.
It has nothing to do with the fact that he’s objectively hot. Jesper will say he’s hot at some point during this incoming interaction, that’s how objectively hot this man is. Kaz is not unique in thinking that this blond man with sprawling tattoos is devilishly handsome. He’s just not.Or,
Kaz is posing as a florist for a heist. Nikolai is a tattoo artist across the street. Them meeting was not part of The Plan, but for some reason, Kaz can’t let it — or him — go.

Summary
Nikolai is trying to softly kiss Kaz.
Kaz keeps melting into it just fine, but then he suddenly amps up the ferocity of said kisses. He gets more passionate about it, to the point of repeatedly chomping down on Nikolai’s lip.
Finally, Nikolai pulls away when it feels like his bottom lip has gone puffy from being bitten so hard so many times. “Kaz? What’s happening?” he asks softly.
Kaz immediately gets defensive. “What are you talking about, nothing’s happening,” he insists.
“You keep biting me,” Nikolai says pointedly. “Hard.”Or,
Another fluffy Kazolai biting fic, tyvm

Summary
Kaz sighs deeply and gets to the top of the rock.
And now? He gets to wait.
There’s other reasons for making Kaz be the one to bait humans. Even Silver can admit that Kaz is pretty enough now as a siren to lure anyone — even those who are typically only attracted to women — without him even having to turn on his own Glamour. He’s just that kind of pretty. So having him be the face of what the siren island can offer is a good idea anyway. He’s not universally pretty, but chances are, at least one sailor per ship is going to be thoroughly entranced by his looks.
That’s how it’s always been.
Kaz sits there, slightly uncomfortably, watching the ship on the storm’s horizon Silver spotted earlier get even closer.
Finally, the ship is getting close enough that Kaz can hear someone shouting from it.Or,
A siren!Kaz x Sturmhond romance, please and thank you.

Summary
Kaz lays next to his husband, Nikolai, at about midnight:thirty.
Nikolai’s back is to Kaz. He rolled over in his sleep something like an hour ago — unfortunately for Kaz — and hasn’t come back to facing Kaz since then.
And Kaz? Wants to hold him. He can’t wrap his arms and back around Nikolai’s spine — that’s a position he can never and has never performed, but he feels like, if Nikolai is turned around, he could cuddle that way instead.
Besides, he likes it better when he can see Nikolai’s alive, handsome, not-rotting-even-a-little-bit face. It helps.
He doesn’t necessarily want to wake his husband up, though. That would be unfair to the other man, since the reason he’s so deeply asleep now is because he’d had a full and busy day yesterday. He just needs to wake him up enough to get him to turn back around. That’s all.
“Nikolai,” he whispers harshly. “Turn back around, you bastard.”Or,
Kaz wants Nikolai to turn back over so he can touch him in a way that he actually can. His tactics range from perfectly appropriate for the situation to wildly not.

when did you get hot? // i think i would remember if you had that face by DancingShadows9174

Summary
He looks at Kaz properly, expecting a scrawny, thin, pale — almost sickly looking — kid like the one he’d left behind in the Netherlands years ago.
Instead, Nikolai stands there frozen, completely blown away by how hot Kaz is now.
What the fuck happened to him? Nikolai marvels as Kaz comes to an abrupt stop in front of Nina. He’s lean, quietly muscular, and his dark hair sweeps over his still fairly pale face. But he’s not sickly looking right now, and his quick, intelligent, impossibly dark eyes scrutinize Nikolai.
Kaz had the barest hint of a smirk as he’d been lightly bantering with Nina, but that disappears when his attention settles on Nikolai. It drops off in favor of a small, almost neutral frown. “You haven’t changed,” Kaz greets him stiffly.
Unsure if he’s currently being insulted, all Nikolai can manage anyway is a low, “You have.”Or,
Nikolai sees Kaz Brekker again for the first time in years for a mutual friend’s wedding, and then cannot stop looking at him for the entirety of the weekend.

Summary
Kaz wakes up cuddled close to Nikolai’s warm body — they’re not touching, but they’re close enough that it feels like his husband is hugging him without the necessary touch.
He’s just in boxers and a t-shirt, and he can see that Nikolai is shirtless under the blanket.
He remembers practically salivating over Nikolai’s bare chest last night, while he’d crawled up over Kaz’s body shirtless with a smirk in order to kiss into Kaz’s sweaty hair.Or,
Kaz wants a soft morning after. His and Nikolai’s pet dog has other ideas.

Summary
“When was the last time you wondered if anyone was properly banging the Bastard?” Reed asks as he accepts a rag to start wiping down shot glasses.
Anika’s face scrunches up in thought. “When Sturmhond last came to visit,” she decides.
“What about Sturmhond?” Stefan asks, feeling whiplashed by the sudden introduction of a new character.
Anika shrugs. “He looks at Brekker the same way Stefan does,” she says flatly.
Stefan’s face is red. “And what way is that?” he demands.
Anika is not and has never been shy about saying exactly what she means, unfortunately. “The way that makes it clear all he wants to do is drag him to a dark corner and fuck his brains out.”Or,
5 times Kaz Brekker was a tease, and 1 time his friends did something about it :)

Summary
Nikolai just had a terrible, rotten, bad day at work, and Kaz can tell because he’s frowning when he comes into the living room where Kaz is reading a book that evening.
He doesn’t typically do that, Kaz thinks as he puts his book down. He’s usually grinning at the mere sight and idea of seeing Kaz after a long day at the office. “Bad day?” he asks.
Nikolai looks over at him dejectedly. “Like you wouldn’t believe,” he mumbles as he lays his briefcase down on the coffee table and slumps down onto the couch across from Kaz.Or,
Nikolai has a bad day at work. Kaz helps him relax.

Summary
Kaz turns to him. “Is something wrong —?” he asks flatly.
“— can we please not stop right here?” Nikolai begs him, sounding exceptionally nervous for no reason.
Kaz blinks at him, confused. “What do you mean, “right here”? Would you rather I’d stopped in the middle of the freeway —?”
“— I would rather we weren’t stopped at all, actually,” Nikolai snaps at him.
Uncharacteristic of him, to say the least. But Kaz can see how anxious Nikolai is about something. He keeps cringing away from the car window.
But nothing’s there.
Just a fence.
And...cows...wait a minute.Or,
Nikolai is scared of cows (and bulls). Kaz helps him be less scared of them.

Summary
Nikolai winces.
It’s just like Vasily to go and make a bad situation even worse.
He puts his arm down. As if he could lift it up very much in the first place, he thinks ruefully as he massages some salve into his left shoulder.
He’s not so much worried about his shoulder — that’ll heal. The Healer said it would, that it would be just fine in a couple of months. And Nikolai trusts that that’s true.
Still. A couple of months? He’s a bit fucked in the wing maintenance department if that’s true.Or,
Nikolai needs to manually oil his wings. Kaz agrees to help.
