    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

    Jester Lavorre’s most popular novel ‘Delights and Delusions’, the unforgettable love story of Taskhand Isaac Thendris and Professor Christopher Wunderwill, is rarely discussed in the realm of historic accuracy. Written during the Royalist period of Exandria, it reflects the social issues of the time - relationships, war, peace, gender and societal change. But, what most people don’t know, the tale is much more than a well thought out story.

    The Cobalt Soul is more than delighted that a new light is shed onto the world-renowned novel by Lavorre, thanks to the most generous contribution of an anonymous donor.

    Presenting, for the first time, the Thelyss-Widogast Collection and with that a renewal on the current teachings about ‘Delights and Delusions’.

    By Ares Lionett-Nydoorin and Saria Una Thelyss-Widogast

    Summary

    But, forgive me, I have gone off on a tangent: this account is for retelling the events of our expedition, not for musing upon personal matters. It will not happen again.

    __

    Essek attempts to keep a professional journal of the progress made on his and Caleb's Aeor field trip, but as the days go by, he finds himself writing a lot more about his colleague (and his feelings for said colleague) than their work.

    Summary

    Essek looked online, and after deeming most of the ads absurd, caught one that seemed good.

    Summary

    Caleb can’t sleep.

    Not with the scars. Not with the itch. Not with the memories.

    Not with Trent Ikithon still living somewhere in his head.

    One night, he finds a Twitch stream.

    The man behind the screen name ‘LogicalGhost’ is calm, brilliant, and impossible to look away from—playing horror games like they’re puzzles and speaking with a quiet certainty that makes the world feel less overwhelming.

    Caleb tells himself it’s just a distraction.

    But he keeps coming back.
