    Summary

    In the aftermath of a great war between the Dynasty and the Dwendalian Empire, laws have come down prohibiting the sale and consumption of alcohol in order to promote productivity in healing the Empire.

    This was viewed as a terrible idea.

    Certain places in Wildemount now thrive as hubs of criminal enterprise, bootlegging, and secret entertainment, and when the most prominent crime boss in the land is found dead at his own party, it triggers a series of events that entangle the lives of three groups of interconnected people. Everyone has a secret. Everyone could have a motive. And if the case isn't solved, an innocent man might get the axe.

    Welcome to Zadash.

    Summary

    Caleb should go back inside.

    Caleb should stand up, go back inside, and forget that he saw anything curled up in the filthy alleyway behind his building. Stay out of trouble. Things die all the time.

    When he lays two fingers at the vampire’s neck, its skin is chill as the wet cobblestones. He can just feel the tiny rise and fall of its ribcage.

    Damnit.

    (It's a Shadowgast modern-with-magic vampire!AU)

    Summary

    When their first child comes into the world screaming her little green head off, Fjord's first thought is that he's never loved anyone more than this tiny person he's just met. His second; he's so sorry she looks like him.

    **
    Caleb, Essek, and Fjord have carved out a little life for themselves in Rosohna; with Essek remaining in service to the Bright Queen for now, Fjord attending the Midnight Gardens of Melora, and Caleb becoming a primary schooling instructor of all things. It's quiet, it's peaceful, a much needed break from the chaos of previous years. Until the universe sees fit to thrust them head first into their next adventure; parenthood. And what should be a joyous time after months of stress, uncertainty, and fear, starts to cause things from Fjord's past to resurface.

    Summary

    In his first year after escaping Vergesson, Caleb—at the time, still Bren—took a private moment to see to his own needs.
    In the woods.
    At night.
    Under a full moon.
    Not his best idea.

    (This story has two endings: a trick and a treat. Read one or both, you decide.)

    Summary

    "Unfortunately, our progress has stalled out somewhat," Ikithon says, slowly circling the beacon on its stand. Under any other circumstances, that would be the thing that drew Essek's eye.

    Instead, his gaze is fixed on the man sitting in a chair at the circle's center. A picture of misery, he is bound hand and foot to the chair with thick iron cuffs. His face is mottled with bruising, his rust colored hair hangs in limp, tangled clumps, and his clothes are torn and burnt. Wide, frightened eyes the color of daylight sky whip frantically back and forth between them.

    Essek knows that face. He knows it all too well. Not two months ago, that face kissed him on the forehead and told him that he was still capable of good.

    The bottom drops out of Essek's stomach. Please not him.

    --------

    After the peace talks at sea, Ikithon approaches Essek with an offer he can't refuse... But dearly wishes he could.
