    Summary

    Essek is caught thoroughly off guard the first time Caleb Widogast kisses him.

    It's such an unlikely thing — Caleb with an arm slung across his shoulder in camaraderie, looking over at him with his usually downturned mouth caught in a wide smile, and leaning in to buss Essek’s temple with wind-chapped lips.

    A history of Caleb and Essek's relationship told through kisses.

    Summary

    He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
    A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
    The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.

    Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

    Summary

    As Essek and Caleb grow closer in Aeor, Essek is forced to confront the challenges that their differing sleep schedules present.

    Caleb views this less as a challenge, and more as an excuse to have his way with Essek in the middle of the night, before returning to sleep until morning.

    Summary

    Essek's trips to the Empire leave him itching to blow off some steam, and he happens to find a very convenient way to do that in the form of a, shall we say, side hustle. No mess, no fuss, and everyone gets what they want.

    Caleb needs to blow off a little steam too, or at least his friends think so. They arrange for a bit of companionship for him for the evening. Neither of them is at all what the other expected.
