Summary
“I believe I had just blown up a window that you and Ikithon were standing next to.”
Caleb felt his eyebrows fly up to his hairline.
Even with his perfect memory, his recollection of that moment was muddied by the very powerful magic explosion that had preceded it. But still, he remembered.
In a daze, on his knees, looking up to see a soldier flying in through the shattered remains of the window. He remembered the dark lines of their armour, sharp and foreign to him. The sound it had made, as they’d landed before him. Not just any soldier. A Kryn soldier. He remembered his shock, surely evident on his face.
A cape had whipped behind them in the wind, looking for a moment like wings, marking them as more than just a mere soldier, as the leader of the attack.
And Caleb had watched, mouth agape, transfixed.
“That was you?”

Summary
It was apparent what Caleb’s room said about himself.
The Tower was a love letter to all of his friends. And regardless of all her best efforts… Caleb did not love himself.
Veth stood in the dark room, heart aching for her friend for far too long before she very quietly left, closing the door behind her.
She couldn’t let this stand. She had to do something.

Summary
“You are being gentle with him.”
Essek stills his hand on Frumpkin’s back, arching a questioning eyebrow. Frumpkin looks over his shoulder in indignant protest, but before he can so much as merp, Caleb has scooped him into his lap. The cat’s eyes fall closed with contentment as Caleb takes his face in both hands and rubs his thumbs in firm circles.
“Cats are not so fragile,” he explains. “They like a little bit of-- here.”
And then Caleb reaches out and takes his hand, and Essek is afraid to breathe.

Summary
When Beauregard asks for Dairon's help freeing a friend held captive by the Cerberus Assembly, they agree, expecting a rescue mission to clear the way to bring down Trent Ikithon for good. But when they meet Essek Thelyss in the depths of the Vergesson Sanatorium, they discover that Beauregard hasn't told them everything.
As the clock runs down and Dairon and Essek find themselves in a game of wits not only with the Assembly but with each other, they must find a way to trust each other--or risk neither of them making it out alive.

Summary
For a brief instant, Sam had thought that Bucky would be okay. That he would be fine, that this would be nothing. Bucky fell all the time: he had always hurled himself from planes like a madman during the missions they used to run together. He would be fine, right?
And then Bucky had hit the ground, and all Sam could do was watch.
When Bucky is badly injured on a mission with the so-called New Avengers, despite everything, Sam shows up.
