Summary
The ringing note of a concert A is played by the oboe, echoing on its own in the space. It’s picked up by the wind section, followed rapidly by the brass, and the familiar feeling of an orchestra calibrating takes over Caleb. The tonal adjustments as each person brings their instrument into alignment sinks into him and something inside Caleb shifts in recognition as Essek leads the strings into their own tuning.
It’s like something is waking up, like something unfurling and firing across long-unused paths of memory. His hands shake slightly, as he raises his bow and joins them, fingers fumbling against the pegs and fine tuners that give him control over his instrument.
----
Essek Thelyss is a leading violinist, his spot as Shadowhand of the Rosohna Philharmonic Orchestra has been uncontested for over a decade. Caleb Widogast is a recent arrival to the city, convinced by his friends to audition for one of the vacant violinist positions.
After starting off on the wrong foot, Caleb and Essek get to slowly know each other, discover what brings them joy, create while defying expectations, and find out that what they can produce together may just be better than anything they can do separately.

Summary
Essek Thelyss is back on the grid after a few years away from racing. Despite his record five championship wins, he can't seem to get past P10 in the Driver's Standings, no matter how hard he tries. All signs point to his incompetent pit crew and maybe a little towards the poor excuse of a race engineer. Determining the lack of leadership for his crew is to blame, he searches for a new chief mechanic to help him get a podium, and eventually a championship trophy.
Caleb Widogast does not use the name his parents knew him by. On the run from his past, he finds a place to settle down as a mechanic at Brenatto's Garage. Despite wanting to put distance between himself and racing, he can't help but work on the pet project he keeps in the back of the garage: a refurbished F1 car. When a disgraced F1 driver visits the garage in the middle of the F1 summer break, Caleb's past collides with his present in an unprecedented way.

Summary
One cannot help but be in awe,
when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity,
of life, of the marvelous structure of reality.
– Albert Einstein
What if the spark between Essek and Caleb’s relationship wasn’t a war but their shared love for knowledge? And insufferable research conferences?

Summary
See, here’s the thing. Courting in the Dynasty is so rigid that there’s recommended reading on the topic. An entire set entitled The Kryn Books on Higher Etiquette and Manual of Courtship. Which is fine, really. The reading isn’t the issue. Verin doesn’t actually hate reading as much as people think he does.
The real problem is having to explain why he keeps hanging out in that all-too-specific section of the den Thelyss library, particularly because the object of his affections never seems to fucking leave.
