Summary
During Vox Machina’s year off, Vax and Keyleth set out to play a spicy little game. Keyleth has a surprise in store for Vax—and even once he finds out what it is, the surprises just keep on coming.
Canon-divergent from c1e95.
Excerpt:
“I must say, this is unexpected, but I am absolutely interested.”
He said so with a look to Keyleth that bordered on frantic. Her smile softened into something more familiar for just a moment before sharpening back into her previous smirk. If he wasn’t supposed to be in character right then he’d have kissed her senseless.- Language:

While he waits for the judges to see him, he catches a glimpse of Caleb Widogast, a naturally gifted musician also hoping to study there.

Summary
"He still looked devastatingly attractive in every possible way and it wasn’t fair because he looked like he had just rolled out of the bed. Essek needed at least an hour in the morning to talk himself into being even vaguely pleasant.
“Oh! Guten Morgen, and welcome back to the Xhorhaus Bakery,” Caleb said, a certain pleasant crinkle to his expression. He was smiling a soft, gentle smile that caught Essek off guard. “What can I get you this morning?”
At Xhorhaus Bakery, where the Mighty Nein bake up Rosohna's most delectable treats, magic is something that is in the air. For Essek Theylss, there might just be love there too. *COMPLETED*

Summary
Caleb gets a rare evening of privacy, and takes advantage of it - unbeknownst to him, he isn't doing a very good job keeping his thoughts to himself.
(Like in my most recent work, NC tag because Caleb doesn't know he's sending his thoughts out and Essek didn't ask for them, so it's tagged NC just to be safe).
(Unlike in that one, it is not immediately resolved, so if that's an issue, wait for the next bit).- Language:

Summary
Essek clung to her; his fingers gripped the front of her coat. He looked small in a way he never had before, frightened in a way that Caleb hadn’t fully processed he could be. It wasn’t Essek’s nervousness, the anxiety of a brilliant man who could see danger all around him, who could see the falling dominoes and the way the web he had woven had entangled him. It was the fear of a small child, or indeed, a stray cat—the fear of a creature trapped in a terrifying world it did not understand.
Essek, brilliant Essek, Essek who believed he could find the answers to everything, unable to understand a thing—the thought of it stabbed at Caleb’s heart.
---
In a world where Trent makes it back to Eiselcross before the Nein do, Essek spends a night under the effects of the Feeblemind spell. Caleb undertakes a duty of care, and the Nein learn how Essek feels about them beneath everything.

Summary
Essek's tone is academic, clinical, cold. “It would be pointless to deny that I am attracted to you. And I wouldn’t object if what happened last night would happen again. But I would be grateful if we could keep it between us.”
There’s a beat, then Caleb nods. “I’m fine with keeping it quiet and casual.”
Or how cold, ruthless and lonely Essek Thelyss (a brilliant student with a secret) accidentally makes some friends and falls in love: a Shadowgast college AU.

Fjord snorts, then laughs aloud. “What is it gonna take,” he says, tapping a finger against the incorrect name, “to get you to spell it right?”
Caleb’s eyes glint with stifled amusement. “I don’t know.” His voice is so low that Fjord can scarcely hear him. “Maybe you should spell it out for me.”
“You’re a smart man,” Fjord murmurs. He can feel himself blushing, heat crawling up his cheeks, but the simmer in Caleb’s blue eyes gives him the courage to add, “I think you can figure it out just fine.”

Summary
Two years ago, Bren was on the run, and desperately looking for any way to get a warm place to stay. The easiest way is usually to convince some kindly soul to give him a bed after bedding him. A kindly half-orc with beautiful eyes and a distinctive face and accent barely make it a chore, being far kinder to the wretched soul than anyone has any right to be.
Now, Caleb realizes that the kind half-orc of his past is remarkably similar to the kind half-orc of his party with a distinctive face, and apparently the rustic accent was a ruse, hiding that same distinctive accent of the kind half-orc in his past. Perhaps they are one and the same, and perhaps he can enjoy his company once more.Bookmarked by Dani1995

Summary
“It’s not that big a deal,” says Jester, running her fingers through his damp hair. “Lots of guys are into way weirder things, trust me.”
“Believe me, I know,” says Caleb dryly, surfacing, and rubs his thumb over Jester’s cheek. “I am just not used to talking about it.”
“That’s okay,” says Jester. “I can tell you one of mine, if you want.”
The flush doesn’t leave Caleb’s face, but a new light glints in his eyes. “Oh?”
