Summary
The nameless fugitive that was once Bren Aldric Ermendrud falls asleep in a doorway in a tiny village- and wakes up in Professor Caleb Widogast's house.
(aka, pre-campaign caleb wakes up in his post-campaign life and completely fails to reckon with all that this new life entails.)

Summary
"I still never quite understand why you like being here while I get ready," Essek says to the mirror as he tilts his head and starts to carefully don jewellery. Several earrings are looped through the appropriate holes; one long chain is dangled carefully from a piece that goes on the tip of his long drow ear. "Especially when we are not planning an entrance together. I fear I'm not terribly engaging."
Three times Caleb and Essek get ready together.

Summary
‘Essek,’ Caleb says, very quietly. ‘Are you telling me that you went into this fight convinced you would never get up if you went down?’
Essek places a hand over the centre of his chest, the place where Lucien’s blade hit. The place where Jester’s diamond shattered. ‘Yes.’
(In the battle with the Tombtakers, Essek falls. His friends bring him back. And each of them has a request to make of him.)

Summary
Essek hates parties, especially state dinners with Empire delegates. It doesn't help that the liaison for the Cerberus Assembly is cunning, smart and annoyingly handsome. But Essek is sure he has this Bren Ermendrud under control... until he isn't anymore.

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.)

Summary
Brevity has never been his strong suit, and the lies on Caleb's tongue melt like ash in water.
He would chase them if he could. Calloused hands delving into icy water.
But every syllable that slithers from between his teeth is too fast and too sharp for him to reach.
The truth shackles him to the ground and all Caleb can do is wait it out.
(A truth spell has taken hold of Caleb Widogast, and it goes as horribly as you'd expect from such a scenario.)Series

Summary
There's something in Caleb's dreams. It wants him to know that he's not alone. It wants him to know that he'll never be alone again.
Elves don't dream, so all Essek can do is watch.
