Summary
Caleb instinctively reaches for the energy of a Counterspell, but Nott suddenly rears back and knocks against him as she avoids a strike, and it throws him off enough that the swipe of protective magic fizzles out with less force than he intended, and then -
Everything is fuzzy and indistinct in a way that frightens him, but he can’t - it - his mind won’t focus on it. He doesn’t understand. He feels so confused.
Or: Sometimes the most interesting thing you can do to a character is see how they function without their greatest strength. Caleb gets hit with Feeblemind :)

Summary
“Jester’s here. The wedding is off. I had a dress and this huge prank planned for Fjord, and now nobody will see either one!”
The Sending blasts through the ordered calm of Caleb’s thoughts. Veth. Her shrill delivery is flippant. The message itself is a fluffernutter: an unmitigated bombshell.

Summary
He is in love with Jester- uselessly, impossibly, profoundly in love, with a heart that lies long dead on the altar to the empire, in love with her flaws and her strengths and her faith and her blueness and her pride and her laugh and all that she is, and, and, and-
Caleb cannot tell her the truth, but he also cannot lie, and so.
Jester and Caleb have a couple of honest discussions in the aftermath of Travelercon.
Written for Widojest Week 2020, Days Six and Seven: Getting Called Out/Uselessly In Love.

Summary
The Coruscant Guard is the wing of the GAR that protects the Senate, AKA the people who decide how much funding each wing of the GAR should get. They are well supplied. Over-supplied, even. They are still not treated like people.
Fox doesn't have a pithy way to articulate it, the gap between the money the Senate is willing to throw at him and the needs of his men. He can't explain why money won't fix the alienation between the Guard and the civilians they are being ordered to police, the feeling of constant threat when they go out, the toll it's taking on them. All the Senate has to give is more money, more toys, replacement units for unfit ones.
...then one day the weirdest Bothan Fox has ever met gives him a horrifying metaphor that almost sums it up. It at least evokes the right amount of disgust, in Fox's opinion.
That conversation will save Fox, and only Fox, in the long run. It's not enough, but it's what he's got.
(Alternate title: "All cops are bastards but these bastard cops are also chattel slaves" )

Summary
“C’mon now, what’s this about?” he drawled. “Bit far in the woods for a ‘talk.’” A more suspicious member of the Mighty Nein--Beauregard, probably, or Nott herself--would’ve seen a threat in the way Nott had grabbed him and darted into the trees beside their campside, throwing a frantic ‘I need to talk to you!’ in their wake. Molly generally made an effort to assume the best of people, but he was also smarter than most gave him credit for. But while he was a little suspicious, he also knew that Nott was smarter than to kill him now after such an obvious display. If she wanted him dead, she would do it in the night without waking a soul.
Nott advanced, poking him in the soft of his stomach with a crooked claw, eyes narrowed as she glared up at him.
“What are your intentions with Caleb?” she demanded. Molly blinked at her for a moment before repressing a snort. Nott bared her teeth back at him.
Even when her friends don't know about her biological son, Nott can't help being a parent.
(Nott gives Molly and Essek a shovel talk *long* before they get around to dating Caleb)-

Summary
Wish is the mightiest spell a mortal creature can cast. By simply speaking aloud, you can alter the very foundations of reality in accord with your desires.
They find him. They kill him.
This is the first wish you make.

Bookmark Notes:
He is smiling at you, wide and delighted, like you have brought him every good thing.
Like you have brightened the room simply by existing in it.
“Caleb.”
He does not cross the room by magic, but a lesser man might have been fooled. Relax, when his arms circle you. Let him hold you. Relish the feeling of his ribs cycling against yours.
He is—
Gone.
Here.
Like a wish come true.

Summary
On a bright, summer morning, Essek Thelyss wakes to a knock at his door and a letter in his mailbox. It reads:
“Dearest Essek,
Caleb and I have been considering your comment from the other day, when you told us you’d like to spend more time alone together. While the words you spoke were just that, your tone seemed to allude to something more. We are intrigued and wish to clarify just what you meant by that sentiment." -

Summary
“I’ve always been lacking in the academic politics department,” Caleb says, “but you seem quite versed in that realm. It will be good to have you on my side.”
Essek Thelyss is a postdoctoral fellow at Rosohna University dealing with his poor health and a recent data breech which sent the physics department reeling. When first year PhD student Caleb Widogast moves in across the street, Essek has to contend not only with Caleb's troubled past but with actions he himself has taken which threaten to destroy a growing bond.

Summary
Essek is lucky to be alive.
It can be hard to believe, with the scars he now bears. The Mighty Nein turned on him at the close of the war, and he barely escaped with his life. He defied fate to be here.
At least, that is what Ludinus Da'leth told him, when he offered Essek shelter in exchange for his particular expertise. Essek's own recollection is—
Fraught.

Touching Sentiments (Chronological) by Chanse (SpottedEnchants)
Fandom: Critical Role: Exandria (Web Series)
29 Aug 2025
Summary
The Mighty Nein are very comfortable with one another, boundaries established and reconfigured and settled well before Essek finally joins them.
Casual touch is a given with them; proximity was a necessity for safety in their early days. This, however, stands in stark contrast with Essek’s many decades. Walls, barriers, layers, space. Separation kept Essek safe.
It’s not that he hates touch, no. It had simply grown unbearable after so long without. Unexpected or held for too long, it burned.
And then they won him over, slowly, over time, as they are wont to do. Rather, he is one of them now.

Summary
Life as a fugitive is not kind, but Essek thought he had acclimated. And in many ways, he has. Still, there is only so much acclimating one can do once the assassins find you.
Luckily, there is a favor to be repaid, and Caleb is happy to settle this debt in kind.
