  3. Summary

    A monster of a series, written largely to indulge my love of history, daemons, and the entire concept of UNCLE. Works will go up I finish their chapters, which is going to make reading difficult. I'll try not to put the horse before the cart too often. You can check the guide in the notes for more information if you want to attempt to read this in chronological order.

    Summary

    Essek returns, when he can, to the sanctuary of Caleb's home. The peace of it is a balm against the tedious peril of the road, which has more misery to share than Essek had ever thought. It's nice to have a place where he can lose himself: in a book, in arcane study, in the confusing allure of Caleb's smile.

    It's nice. And the cats miss him, Caleb says.

    Summary

    “Essek, It’s me.” His voice was soft, almost pleading.
    “I don't know you.”
    “What do you mean? Essek, what's happening.”
    “I don't know you. I don’t know where I am
    “You're scaring me.”
    *********************
    If Essek had had to explain his current life to his past self he wouldn't have believed it. He, in fact, didn't believe it. When a spell goes wrong and an alternate version of Essek appears, He and Caleb must navigate meeting each other again with only one of them remembering their shared history.

    Summary

    It has been a long time, but the shadow that crosses Essek’s face is no longer unfamiliar to Caleb. He thinks he can place it now that he has seen it so often—it looks very much like guilt.

    “I am happy here,” Essek says. “How could I not be?”

    For some reason, the assertion is thrown at Caleb with more force than is called for.

    Who is Essek really trying to convince: Caleb, or himself?

    Summary

    Caleb straightens and extends a hand gallantly to Essek, bowing at the waist. It makes him smile when he realizes Caleb is trying to imitate the customs of the Bright Queen’s court.

    “In that case, would you care to dance with me?”

    [Or: how Caleb discovers that Essek is a classically trained ballroom dancer.]
