Summary
“Jester’s here. The wedding is off. I had a dress and this huge prank planned for Fjord, and now nobody will see either one!”
The Sending blasts through the ordered calm of Caleb’s thoughts. Veth. Her shrill delivery is flippant. The message itself is a fluffernutter: an unmitigated bombshell.

Summary
Bren knows that on reaping day he will be heavily guarded, probably even more so than usual. There will be plenty of sanitorium guards and crownsguard and Ikithon’s people, but none of that will matter. Not if he can jump straight out of the sanitorium’s clutches and into the Capitol’s. That is what he trained for, after all. To compete, to win, to bring glory and prosperity to his district. He doesn’t know if he believes in that anymore, but at least, he thinks bitterly, the Capitol might let him die.
OR
Bren Aldric Ermendrud volunteers to participate in the Hunger Games in order to escape his former teacher. He plans on dying quickly and painlessly, but in the course of the training he might just find something worth fighting for.Bookmarked by Muon_nu

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
Part of her wonders if it would be easier if she’d never been a cleric. If she’d never had any special powers that could raise the dead in the first place. Maybe she would have learned all of this sooner.
“It just feels,” Jester says, trying to put some of that into words, “like I had a power that just stopped working.”
Jester Lavorre spends a lifetime learning how to let go.

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
When the Beast opened its mouth to speak, Essek was faced with a mouthful of canine, wolfish fangs and teeth.
“I did warn you.”
Essek was utterly petrified. The small, primal part of him which flinched from flames and the edges of cliffs had woken and declared the thing standing before him a threat. More than a threat, a nightmare.Essek, long having retreated into exile, is trapped by an obscure curse and forced to shelter in a strange isolated manor. His only hope of escape is in the hands of the apparent lord of the manor, a Beast who is appears both charming and repellent in equal measure.

Summary
"It was an accident."
That was what Zuko had said to his crew when he used an element he hadn't been meant to. He wasn't the Avatar. The Avatar was supposed to be in the Earth Kingdom, hidden by its walls.
Unless the old Avatar had died long ago ... and had already been replaced fifteen years ago.

Summary
Caleb is an anxious vampire and Essek just wants to help his partner not starve. And if vampire venom makes you incredibly horny, well, that's just a lovely side-effect isn't it?
Retrospectively, Essek did not approach the matter in the most trauma-sensitive manner. What happened was this: Caleb pulled a bottle of blood from the shelf, neatly labeled and stasis-charmed, took a sip, and full-body flinched. He poured it down the sink, the coppery scent floating into the air. Then, grumbling to himself, he cracked open another of the labeled bottles.
Essek sighed theatrically and Caleb glanced at him.
“This is ridiculous,” Essek huffed. He unbuttoned the dark shirt down to his mid-chest and slid it from his shoulders.Series

Summary
Beau begins by sighing exasperatedly, which is typically not ideal for selling a pitch, but what the fuck, right? “I wanted to ask you,” she says, carefully now, “If you would maybe be interested in working with the Cobalt Soul. In a more, uh, official capacity. Like with a salary and everything, or whatever.”
There is a silence which is somehow worse than the silence that they were sitting in before. Essek makes a small sound that must be unconscious, sort of like a death rattle. Beau didn’t know such an undignified noise was in his repertoire.

Summary
“What should I call you? What is the name of the boy I have decided to spare for tonight?”
The boy paused - just long enough for him to know that whatever was about to come out of his mouth was a lie
“Caleb” was what he decided on “Caleb Widogast”Essek has been living in Rexxentrum for thirty years, and is beyond bored. It is hardly a city built for creatures of the night, after all
Bren is the prodigy of the Academy, learning night and day to hunt vampires. And yet he couldn't help but feel that his teachers weren't telling him everything. Perhaps the vampire he had heard lived nearby might be able to provide some answers…?

Summary
Caleb is now an old man, and Essek is still just Essek. Caleb tries to let him go, to spare him the trials and travails of loving an old man.
Unfortunately for Caleb, Essek is still Essek and will have none of it.
This results in a stalemate, that, currently, Beau (and every other observer) is winning.

Summary
But to her, in these moments, he is only ever Caleb, and she is only ever Genevieve. To be anything else would be dangerous. To be anything else would be admitting the way butterflies take flight in her stomach when she catches sight of the familiar thick cloak he wears, the flash of the silver pin on the lapel of his jacket underneath, the curve of a half-smile when their eyes meet across the floor. To be anything but Genevieve and Caleb would be admitting that Jester is falling hopelessly in love with her favourite client.

Summary
It was colorful, and bright, and intricate diagrams and paintings covered every bit of the walls. There was a cozy kitchen and a dining table set for two. More stairs led up to a second floor with branching rooms. Most strangely, giant piles of copper strands sat everywhere and interconnected through the whole room. It reminded him vaguely of a spider’s nest.
Maybe not the best place to stay, then. But he could see the open cabinet of components, and he couldn’t not take a look.

He is brighter than all you have ever had to help raise and you did not think it could ever be so difficult, there is hardly anyone you can find to keep up. Something sharpens inside him as he grows and you think you put it there. It is worth it, you think, I will lose no child of mine.
-After they have found the Light, Deirta promises, no child of hers will ever be lost again. It is difficult to keep, with Essek.

Caleb’s own hands are scarred and calloused, and maybe, just maybe, they would be enough to hold the jagged pieces of Essek together.
