  Summary

  UPDATE made 5/30/2024:
  Since I originally made the promise of Mission Impossible Crow Heists (see original summary below) and then began with Kaz's birth :D, I felt I should update with how this story is shaping itself:
  Part I: The Farm (Chpts 1-4)
  Part II: New to Ketterdam (Chpts 5-11)
  Part III: In Storage (Chpts 12-23)
  Part IV: Dregs/Bunker/Spy v Spy (Chpts 24-current)

  Future:
  Part V: Vengeance
  Part VI: Mission Impossible Crow Heists

  Original Summary:
  A modern AU wherein Kaz, son of a paramilitary ghost, begins his life as a prepper on a farm near the town of Lij. When his father’s enemies find them, he moves on to the streets of Ketterdam where he learns the specialized skills of surviving in the Barrel. Many stories are included of those intense early years in the Barrel, but eventually Kaz is recruited as a field operative and computer hacker for a secret agency, unfettered by government connections, that handles dangerous, high-stakes missions.

  Along the way, Kaz meets and recruits each of our beloved Crows to a team rivaling any put together by Ethan Hunt of the Mission Impossible movie series!
