Summary
Essek's trips to the Empire leave him itching to blow off some steam, and he happens to find a very convenient way to do that in the form of a, shall we say, side hustle. No mess, no fuss, and everyone gets what they want.
Caleb needs to blow off a little steam too, or at least his friends think so. They arrange for a bit of companionship for him for the evening. Neither of them is at all what the other expected.
(Set during the two-week break in Zadash post-Iron Shepards arc.)

Summary
“Well… I’m interested in everything, at least in theory,” Essek says cautiously.
At that, Caleb raises his glass. “And I as well. Although…” The wine sloshes, ruby red and glinting, as he sets the glass down and rises from the floor. “Maybe it’s not just the theory I’m interested in, right now.”
As Essek starts going on adventures with the Mighty Nein, his relationship with Caleb has still a few kinks that need to be ironed out.

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
Shadowhand Essek was pleased when the war ended with the Dwendalian Empire. Not only did it mean he didn't have to plan battles and fight anymore, It meant he could finally sit back and focus on his research. That is until some idiot diplomat decided that to make the peace work, there needed to be a cultural exchange. Suddenly he was thrust far from his quiet tower into the practically barbaric Empire to teach at a University in Rexxentrum. He's determined not to let this deter his research, certain he can stay just as focused as ever. Except there's an oddly familiar scruffy man in the library that seems to know exactly the right books, and Essek could swear he's seen him before.

Summary
Essek had too much on his mind to pay attention to his own feelings. That soft smile wasn’t helping.
