Summary
I did not think it would be like this, he wishes he had words to say. I wish I could regrow myself like one of Caduceus’s plant experiments, but I think my roots are rotten through. No sunlight and no water and no Uthodorn cupcakes can treat the blight he has made of himself. He has two words. He would need so many.
-In Aeor, just the two of them, there are many things to finally resolve. Not least of all the question of what they could be to one another.Bookmarked by SquarenessGun

Summary
“You know what, Essek,” Jester said, “you should just kiss him and see what happens.”
“Absolutely not,” Essek said reflexively, so righteously affronted he hadn’t even blushed.
But they're at the Mighty Nein Goodbye Party. What if this is his last chance? What if it’s now or never?

Summary
It’s not like Caleb hasn’t thought about it. He’s thought about it a little too much, if anything: what would happen in a situation in which the variables were only Essek, himself, some privacy, and their mutual willingness to explore each other. In that scenario, he wasn’t even asking for a bed.

Summary
A bit of a fic for Red Pants Monday. Said pants aren't the star of the show, but they do make a nice catalyst.
Sherlock attempts to be a good friend to John during a difficult time. It goes about as well as you'd think, at least until the kissing starts.

Summary
Elves have much lower fertility rates compared to humans. To compensate, every one hundred years or so, elves enter what they call a heat: a week long case of their libido on steroids, meant to encourage reproduction.
Essek is 120, and has been delaying his heat for as long as possible.
(alternate summary: Essek asks Caleb for a favor; it’s not the favor either of them expect.)

Summary
“Caleb?” He asks, so softly, the hesitation clear to his own ears.
Caleb hasn’t stopped his pacing. He’s become a blur of motion and restless energy, and Essek stands absolutely still.
There are things you need to know. About our… mutual friends, for want of a better phrase.” A beat. “About me.”
Essek doesn’t dare to interrupt. Doesn’t move, even as his hands itch to reach out, to still Caleb’s fingers as they twitch against his forearms.
“It’s a conversation we should have had, after the… ah, incident with the… prisoner. Maybe if we had, you might have realised.” Caleb’s voice is low, and someone with lesser hearing may not have caught the weight of what these words were costing him. “I operate under no illusions that it would have changed anything. You had already done what you had done. You can’t change the past."
OR
The time Caleb and Essek finally have a conversation about just what it is that lies between them.

Summary
If he could scrub it off, he would.
It takes a while for the name to turn up at all, as it often does when one or both souls are not consecuted. That alone is enough to disappoint his parents - even more so when it becomes apparent that he is not a returning soul. By ten, Essek has begun to wonder if he will never have a name at all. By thirty, watching all his peers struck with new distractions, he has begun to hope he won't.
It lasts until he’s nearly ninety. Essek has been convinced for decades that he’s managed to escape the matter altogether; perhaps, he had thought, the lack of interest he has always felt in that direction has spared him from the entire ordeal. But there it is, one morning, engraved across his chest as though it has been there since birth.
Bren.

Summary
From then on, Caleb’s carefully laid plans of courting Essek had been tossed aside in favor of slow, loving kisses shared over half translated books and morning tea.
“How about this,” Essek says primly, sitting up against the headboard and folding his hand in his lap, “Outside, you continue with your plans to court me, and I will act accordingly. But here—“
or, Caleb's plans to properly court Essek are ruined, but it's ok because that means they can kiss more.

Summary
When you can't spy on the foreign wizard with spells, the next logical step is to bring him into your home and spy on him with your own two eyes. Preferably while he's sleeping.
