Summary
Weiss can do this.
It’s one dinner. She’s been to dinners before.
Like that one where you summoned a Boarbatusk?
She’s been to non-catastrophic dinners before.
Granted, she’s never been to a dinner where she would be meeting the father of one of her girlfriends – because she’s never really had a girlfriend before, much less two at the same time – but she will make it through it, godsdamn it.

Summary
Perhaps it wasn’t the smartest idea to copy out an untested magical sigil reconstructed from an ambiguous source. Temi’s made the best of her situation, though.

Summary
“Remind me, Schnee, whatever happened to we can’t do this again?” Cinder pants, riding the hand Winter’s slipped past her belt.
“I can stop,” Winter lies. They’re both fully clothed, courtesy of the damp and dirty cave floor, but it’s not preventing Winter from finding the spots she knows Cinder’s weak to.
Cinder glares down at her, flames leaking from her eye. “Do that and you’re a dead woman.”

Summary
“Alright, which sounds better? Still working, should be back in about thirty or Everything’s fine, but there’s just a little delay?”
“If you send Yang a text that starts with a totally unprompted disclaimer of everything’s fine, but, she’ll immediately assume we’re in trouble,” Blake said. “And have you been writing this entire time? Shouldn’t you be watching the perimeter?”
“What’s more dangerous right now?” Weiss said testily. “Getting surprised by what Winter called light security, or blowing off dinner with Yang without an halfway-decent excuse?”
The earpiece went quiet for a few seconds. “How about Home in thirty, work got a little complicated but we’ve got it handled?”

Summary
I do not mean to intrude, but he's quite a curious cat, Caleb says a moment later. He says you're looking for information on dreams and red storms? That's a very rare area of study.
Imogen carefully closes the book and frowns at Frumpkin.
I'm sure you're searching for something too, Mr. Widogast, she replies. But you don't hear me commenting on your choice of reading material, do you?
***
Imogen hits a dead end. Another book-loving spellcaster gives her a helping hand.

Summary
Essek goes home, and there is no one waiting at his door. This should be some manner of relief. But his towers haven't felt like a safe haven for a long time now, long before errant scourgers appeared to harass him with strange questions. He misses the immediacy of that threat, prefers it over the slow and indulgent terror of whatever punishment is coming for him, someday soon.
He tells himself that he misses only that, the simplicity of being unsafe in the company of predators, and that he does not miss the company itself.
(In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.)

Extremely good wizard ot4.
I want to take this fic apart and see how it ticks; it's absurdly well-crafted.

"You know," Toby said, pulling a cigar out of his inside coat pocket and regarding it thoughtfully, "I never found your relationship with Donna particularly baffling. I just figured you ran on sexual frustration like the rest of us."
