You know, in my post about the scene on the boat after the heist, I am not talking about the "armor" line, I am specifically talking about "'How will you have me? Fully clothed, gloves on, your head turned away so our lips can never touch?'". Like, objectively that's a mean thing to say to someone with touch aversion. It's just weird to me that we all have to pretend Inej is practicing therapy approved communication skills at all times, especially after the most Insane Two Days Ever, and a history of mistrust. She said something shitty once? It just strikes me as weird towards her to have to pretend it wasn't just kind of shitty. It's also just the narrative framing of Kaz's touch aversion being directed equivalent to his emotional distance, which would be untrue and separate things in real life, and acknowledging that the two kind of get muddied up in a few scenes, doesn't mean that Inej is toxic or something jeez

I like the idea of Inej visiting Kaz in Ketterdam as much as anyone. Y’know what I like better? The idea of Kaz deciding to work on Inej’s ship, giving up the toxic life that is the Barrel and listening to someone else’s plans for once in his life. I like the idea of Kaz swabbing the deck, literally the lowest member of the crew, and he thinks to himself “Ghezen, I could be the richest man in Ketterdam right now.” And then he looks over at Inej, who is sitting on the edge of the ship and tossing crumbs to the seagulls, the wind in her hair and the saltwater making it ever so wavy, a map on her lap where she’s supposed to be charting their next course, her clothes loose and casual, no longer needing to be tantalizing and sensual, nor athletic and useful. And he thinks for the first time in his life that this might actually be better than money.

I don't think he'd scrub the deck or that he'd be the lowest rank of the crew because he does have important skills that would be valuable to Inej, more so than most of the other crew members, otherwise he wouldn't have made it so big in the Barrel; but more importantly, he'd be Inej's trophy husband who galavants around like he's the shit just because he's dating the Captain. Everyone hates his guts, which is his Sunday entertainment. He absolutely would still make the plans- most of them are way too complicated for situations that do not require complicated schemes, but Inej lets him because she knows if he can't sharpen and train his mind, he'll become restless and go cray cray and, idk, lose sleep or throw a crew member over board or something

Ok soooo yes I did actually want to elaborate on this a lil more bc I was NOT clear with what I wanted to say the first time, so I’m gonna use you as a jumping off point (NOT attacking just to be clear lol)

but the point of Kaz swabbing the decks is not bc he doesn’t have skills useful to Inej, it’s because I like the idea of Kaz for once being BENEATH Inej in their relationship. The nature of their relationship will always have this power dynamic to it that is just truly unforgettable at all times. Maybe it’s forgettable to Kaz sure, but Inej always knows that she is somewhat in debt to Kaz. And yes, Kaz would never act on that debt, but Inej still knows that he holds it. He freed her from the Menagerie, as much as he likes to say that he just helped her free herself. He held the cards. And yeah, Per Haskell technically held her indenture, but he wouldn’t have even cared about Inej had Kaz not brought her up. I want a fic where Kaz finally has that power dynamic shifted, where he is uncomfortable with the crew because he doesn’t know them, where he feels a little like Inej’s pet, just a tiny bit, because I want him to have even a semblance of what she experienced, and how hard it was for her to form love in that experience, and how hard she had to fight herself to stay with him for that love. I want him to fight her past for her.

THEN he can be a happy trophy husband and do map shit, I’d love that

Totally disagree with this take, respectfully. But I reblog because I like how in this fandom we can be so kind to each other with such different opinions. (I come from the Boku no Hero Academia fandom. Do you have any idea what a dumpster that is sometimes?) High five, everyone!

I just disagree that there will always be that power dynamic, that's not how I personally see Kaz and Inej's relationship. Even less when they BOTH know that they have been saving each other's lives the whole time. Also disagree with the need to put Kaz in a place of discomfort. As if his leadership capacity was simply non-existent, as if he hadn't had to fight for years to be where he is. As if he hadn't achieved with blood and sweat everything he achieved. Disagree with being "Inej's pet". And disagree with "listening to someone else's plans" as if that has ever been a problem in the story.

As if he were not capable of having his own goal, that he had nothing to do with revenge, or nothing to do with Inej.

In short, I disagree.
