Summary
Communicating with Essek, Caleb has found, is a careful dance where questions are half answered, and their true intentions are belayed through intonation and the looks in their eyes. He has no idea why their rituals had to be so intricate. But in the moments when it counts, when their voices seek the truth, Caleb can't help but listen to Essek's intensity.
This fic is part of the Aeor is for Lovers collection, where a few writers come together to write Shadowghast finding love in Aeor, using all their senses.

Summary
Aeor is for lovers. And Wild Magic. Combine the two plus two squishy wizards pining for each other and you have the best romance trope in existence.
Consists of short, unrelated chapters, each centered around a different Wild Magic effect (plus some of my own). There will be mild slow burn romance through most of the chapters and they are assumed to be chronological, though can be read in any order.

Summary
Of all the ways Essek thought he might find himself staring down mortality, his magic making a cancer of his lonely heart never even entered his consideration. But then, his calculus has never been able to account for the Mighty Nein.
There is a remedy for his illness, of course. There is always a way to unwind magic, but there is always a price. The cost of Essek’s life, now that he’s contracted Hanahaki’s disease, can be paid two ways—one is higher than Essek can bear and the other, well.
The other can only be paid by someone else.
And if Essek could ask that, then he wouldn’t be sick at all, would he?

Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)

Summary
His own personal journey into masculinity took place during a stretch of years when he was already enrolled at the Soltryce Academy. By then, he was surrounded by arcanists, and physical displays of strength mattered very little, which suited him just fine. He was a man, and he felt a man, and that was that.

In which Caleb finds himself being appreciated for something he isn't, usually.
EDIT: This is a 5 + 1 things, though now I'm not sure how to call it. Five times Essek is horny on main and one time Caleb is too?

At the narrow desk before him, at the centre of the room, sat Essek, straight backed and hands steepled, his form swallowed by the heaps of books and maps about him. His eyes were dark, rimmed with rings of exhaustion, his appearance unusually messy, the traces of finger tracks still visible through his hair.
"Hey," Caleb attempted to sound casual. //You sound like a dunce.//
