Summary
With one final phrase, the spell is complete,and the twice stolen beacon resting on his desk flares brightly, flooding the room with searing light and an overwhelming rush of energy, an intangible force that nearly knocks Bren off his feet. As the energy recedes, he waits, preparing to be ripped from this moment and thrust into the annals of time, but nothing happens. He frowns. Waits. But still nothing happens, and as he begins double checking his notes, scattered as they are across his work surface, suddenly, he’s struck with an intense arcane force, like a punch to the chest. He recoils, blinks instinctively and once his vision clears, finds himself standing in his bedchambers. As he takes stock of the world around him, his brain recalibrates, and a sense of dread congeals in his stomach. His sense of time has never been wrong before, so it can’t be now.
It’s 6am on the 9th of Quen’Pillar. Again.
“Shit.”
Caleb and Essek get stuck in a time loop, and have to work together to get out of it.

Summary
“Don’t tell me you grew attached.”
Essek didn’t know what to think of the Mighty Nein when they first arrived, and that didn’t really change as he spent more time with them. They were foolish and impulsive at times, but each of them held a spark of potential. They didn’t deserve to die. With the help of dunamancy, he might just have the chance to change their fates.

A Shadowgast Groundhog Day AU where Essek is just trying to keep his only friends from dying and that leads to some other discoveries involving his feelings for a certain wizard. (Canon compliant up to Ep. 89).

Summary
“Well Caleb Widogast,” Essek said, testing the name...tasting it, and finding it satisfactory. Caleb was a lovely name, he had always had a penchant for strays. “Tonight seems to be your lucky night. It appears that I have an opening available for a student, and you are in need of a teacher with the funds to support your endeavor. I see no reason why we cannot come to a simple agreement that will benefit us both.”
There are many things that Essek enjoys...feeding, the luxury, and the hunt for new and exciting experiences. Essek finds that the thing he enjoys the most is playing with his newest servant.

Essek was dying. That was the only explanation. Thankfully he had multiple clerics and several very helpful family members to call upon in his time of need. And also 50+ small glass penises.

Summary
"If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happened better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb. (Don't Hesitate).” - Mary Oliver, 'Swan: Poems and Prose Poems'

Summary
Living with Jester and Fjord prepared Caleb for many unconventional situations; from paintings sporadically appearing on the walls to reels of fishing nets lying on the kitchen stool to a fairly large group of people visiting them at any time of day or night.
But some days are just too much and when Caleb knocked at his neighbour's door he certainly didn't expect to see a very handsome drow cradling Caleb's sleeping cat in his arms.
Or: Caleb and Essek are neighbours, Frumpkin doesn't seem to care about personal space and neither does the rest of the Nein.
