Summary
“What, do you think this is my entire plan? A year-long espionage campaign conducted for the sole purpose of seeing the spymaster of this realm in his shirtsleeves? Get over yourself.” Caleb had thought that a trip to an herbalist’s shop had seemed like a perfectly innocuous prospect. Doing so while following Essek through the maze-like alleys and corridors of the Night Market had even seemed like a pleasant way to while away a chilly autumn afternoon. Now, though? Now Essek is sprawled out on the divan in Caleb’s study, looking anxious, flushed, and more than a little feverish. Caleb has to admit: the day’s events have taken a bit of a turn.

Summary
Essek doesn’t date, and for good reason. It’s exhausting, the dance around feelings and pleasure, made worse by the shadow of his ill health. He’s perfectly content with the company of his Guides, their platonic exchange of intimacies fully serviceable. He doesn’t need anyone else.
Caleb Widogast is the Empire human making a valiant attempt towards involving himself in Rosohna’s kink scene. He shouldn’t be as charming as he is but Essek finds himself drawn to Caleb, caught in his gravity well, pulled past the event horizon against his will. He doesn’t quite mind, especially when Essek connects Caleb Widogast to Bren Ermendrud, the researcher on loan from Soltryce studying time travel under Essek’s purview here in the Marble Tomes.
Don’t we all have mistakes we wish to correct?
Essek has made many and, caught up in a whirlwind romance with a Dom perfect in all the ways he didn’t know he wanted, he makes many more.

Summary
“You accused me of treating this like a game. I am sorry if I’ve led you to believe that it is only a game—though I won't deny that part of it is.” Bren gives a disarming smile. “My life is either games or murder, after all.”
“Or mail fraud,” Thelyss says dryly, not even a little disarmed.
“The mail fraud is a sort of game as well.”
A sigh. “Is this your way of telling me that you intend to continue playing?”
Bren smiles again, sharper. “If you would let me.”(In which Bren Aldric Ermendrud decides to seduce the Shadowhand and finds that the best way to convince someone to be vulnerable with you is to be vulnerable in turn.)

Summary
When Astarion awakens in the aftermath of the Nautiloid crash, it is not to a friendly face but the press of goblin steel against his cheek.

Bookmarker's Notes
The delicate, proud face turns up to look at him, like a flower turning toward the sun. “Yes?”
I’m so glad you’re here, is what Caleb wants to say, or I would very much like to kiss you right now.
Instead, what he says is: “Do you want a drink?

Summary
“Oh, ah. Hallo.”
Essek startles so badly he drops his levitation. He whips around, a hand thrown reflexively out to defend himself, a spell ready on his lips. He has to blink. And blink again. But no, he is not imagining this. Here is Caleb Widogast in the flesh, standing in Jester and Fjord's sitting room.
“Hello,” Essek manages, his throat very dry.
[Or: Four times Dynasty fugitive Essek Thelyss sought refuge with Jester Lavorre, and one time he found Caleb Widogast instead.]

Summary
Essek clears his throat and turns around, gliding towards the centre of the room to inspect the pole. He lays a cautious hand against the steel, testing the feel of it against his skin, and steps around it with an elegance that seems practised. Pausing in place, he slides a hand up and down the length of the metal and hums appreciatively.
Caleb’s mouth is very dry.
“Not bad.” Essek muses. “The circumference is just right.”Or: AU in which everything is the same except Essek can pole dance. And Caleb finds out about it. And hatches a clever plan to… find out about it some more.
