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.

Summary
"Hey," she says weakly. "Did we win?"
"They're all dead," Yasha assures her, still too distracted by the unnatural twist of Beau's right arm, the labored sound of her breathing. Yasha is no cleric—she may have managed to yank Beau back from the brink of death, but she can't fix her. She needs to get her back to people who can.
Good thing they're stranded alone in the middle of fucking nowhere. Nothing but trees and knotty, gnarled paths for miles in every direction. Yasha glares up at the grey-orange sky, like her anger alone can stop the sun from setting, the earth from turning, the girl she (
loveslikeswants) cares for from dying in her arms.Series

Nights on the road were kinda cold, but as long as the fire was kept up she'd be perfectly fine. She thought it was just gonna be a boring and mildly chilly couple hours.
Man, was she fuckin' wrong.
