Summary
Caleb swept his arm in a wide arc that reached above his head and commanded the flames to consume Owelia in their grasp. If a house made of solid wood and stone could scorch easily by arcane fire, then the small halfling would burn even greater. And burn she did.
Or, Caleb's thoughts as he kills Owelia.

Summary
“This game we are playing, is it for information?” Caleb asked once, early in the morning, the darkness never quite leaving the cell room he was kept in.
“Not for them,” the Chiss answered slowly, like an admission. “My… interactions with you are not monitored nor ordered by my officials.”
“So why?”
“You are…. interesting. Different.” A pause. When he spoke again, his tone was quieter. “And perhaps, right to distrust Trent.”

Professor Widogast as Observed By His Third Year Transmutation Class by GoringWriting

Summary
Exactly what the new Professor of transmutation is like is a mystery. Until now.
And he is... different would be the polite way.
Radical.
Fucking crazy.
H..he's okay.
Can't wait to mess with him.
He's Professor Caleb Widogast

Summary
Beau is emergency-called to the Academy because a junior professor of transmutation attempted suicide in his office and they need her to decide what to do with him. He's going to be fine, the healers say, but he either can't or won't explain why he feels this way.
The more Beau digs into her closest friend's lowest moment, the less convinced she is that they have the full story of what happened to Caleb. Maybe she's onto something. Maybe she's fallen down a rabbit hole to avoid confronting her own feelings.
A story about love, fear, holding on, and letting go.

Summary
He could almost smell the ozone in the air around him as his palms itched and crackled with a held potential. He could do it he thought, he would do it, if it meant that Nott might be happy, after all she had done for him he could do this for her if only to see her smile once more. It might break him, would break him, of that he was sure, but it would be worth it if it only meant she could be herself as she was always meant to be.
What was a little more broken to a man who hadn’t yet pulled all the pieces of himself back together again? One more nail in the coffin of someone already doomed would be worth it for the life he might be able to give.

Summary
“Each Scourger can have anywhere between 3-5 shards, which can empower multiple spells, or, it can empower one spell beyond belief
With 3 scourgers, and 3 shards each, the battlefield will be a slaughter”
“Our troops have mages. They can counterspell” Essek says, but, as one person keeping his head because he has to, to another, Caleb can hear the overwrought confidence in his voice that says his voice should be shaking.
Caleb doesn’t want to shake that façade. But he gives Essek a grim smile “So do they”

Summary
The night after Molly’s death, Caleb is given the opportunity to save him by the mysterious dodecahedron of infinite possibility. He is gifted twenty three hours and the power of chance to make things right again. As the sole member of the party who remembers the original disastrous outcome against the Iron Shepherds, Caleb struggles with his secret grief, his own unworthiness to be a hero, the love for the Mighty Nein which he’s been trying to deny, and the stress of not knowing whether this gift is meant to permanently fix the past… or to help him say goodbye.
This fic was written with the aid of real dice rolls.

Summary
Caleb (Bren) ducks his head, feeling some layer of protection, some layer of warding, leave his skin for the first time in several years, though he’s sure that the ward has no physical feeling. This is all mental. And he hears Beau choke. Caleb (Bren) does not turn to face her or her questions. Doesn’t look at Nott hidden in the shadows, surely watching his every more.
“Give this to Yasha, would you?” They both know it isn’t a question. And Caleb (Bren) doesn’t wait to hear Molly answer it. He moves before Beau can intervene. He moves before Nott can stop him. He moves before Eodwulf can make it to Yasha’s side.
