    Summary

    Astrid is not much of a cat person. She doesn't need a cat. She doesn't want a cat. Caleb gives her a cat. She loves the cat. She will deny this fact with her dying breath. Also, the Cerberus Assembly is a pain in everyone's ass.

    Or: Five times Astrid insisted she didn't want the cat, and the one time she couldn't deny it.

    Summary

    Caleb takes a deep breath before muttering an incantation he knows by heart. On his lap sits a music box, a gift for the girl who changed his life. Beauregard Lionett, who is turning ten in a few hours, is slumped against Caleb's side, fast asleep. A few weeks ago, when Beauregard mentioned her birthday, Caleb started saving up money for a gift for her. Luckily, or maybe simply coincidentally, Caleb stumbled across a second hand music box. The thing looked plain from the outside, but held a song he distantly remember from his childhood. Caleb had bought the box then and there. Later, he'd spent all his alone time trying to transform the box into something special.

     

    or, a birthday, and a border approaching

    Summary

    This is a Podfic of The Taste of Language by Inanerial.

    Author Summary:

    Common had always sloshed about in Caleb’s mouth like dirty water, or perhaps like a bad beer, all fizz and fuzz with no depth. Speaking it was a journey — one had to sit about and construct feelings and sensations, when in Zemnian he would have plucked the perfect word straight from the air.

    A brief meditation on language, love, and the dialect of home.

    Summary

    Summary

    "Caleb!" Molly grasped the sides of Caleb's face as his cards fluttered to the ground, "Caleb, how long has this been- How many times have you gone through this?"
    There was a pause as Caleb stared at Molly with wet eyes before brokenly answering,
    "I stopped counting after the seventh-hundred and twenty-ninth loop,"

    Summary

    Deirta Thelyss may not have been of den Kryn, but she was about as close as one could get without climbing back into the Luxon and trying again. She had been consecuted eight hundred years ago, and was nearly as old as Leylas herself, or so they say. The Light had shone upon her and granted her, finally, two children - her golden boy, Verin, and her silver moon child, Essek. Both she loved, in her own way - though, Essek mused as he traced the gilded lettering of his dinner invitation, it was a peculiar sort of love. He couldn’t help feeling there was something missing in the flinch behind his mother’s eyes when she looked at him, how she rose to the occasion in public but did everything she could to pretend he was a ghost behind closed doors.

    The invitation was gilded in gold. I understand the hint, Mother.

    Summary

    "Uh... Is he... crying?" Beauregard asked the rest of the Nein as Kingsley and Essek ran out from the Chateau to comfort a ratty-looking Caleb being held by Caduceus.
    "Maybe he's just that touched?" Jester winced.
    "Why is he in his pajamas?" Yasha pondered aloud. Fjord scratched his chin.
    "Not sure, but he looks like shit."
    Veth squinted, leaning closer to the window, and caught the expression of Kingsley falling. Grief and sympathy filled the frown on King's face, and Veth's heart sank, watching as Essek's illusory form leaned its forehead against Caleb's temple.
    "Essek told us he'd been poisoned and really struggling when he found 'im." Beau was grimacing. "I didn't expect he'd look this bad."
    "Should we go out there too?" Yasha asked. Everyone considered it, staring at the scene.
    "Maybe just one of us." Fjord suggested.
    "Veth?" Beau piped up. Veth's lips pursed.
    Caleb pulled away from Caduceus and began wiping his eyes, his back to the window of the Chateau. Essek and Kingsley were both smiling sympathetically. She didn't want to get in the way, but Caleb looked so beaten down and tired, and she was worried. That was her boy.
    "Yeah, alright."

    Summary

    One week of relaxation, just the three of them, was all Caleb wanted. If Kingsley's curiosity wanted to know more about the eighth floor, Caleb would indulge. If Essek's curiosity wanted to see the illusory memories, he would indulge that as well.
    He did not anticipate it backfiring so spectacularly.
