'Clara. I... apologise in advance for any damage done to your feet,' Cullen muttered, already done with the entire humiliating experience.
Cullen thought that what he despised most of all might be making a fool of himself in front of women.

Cullen's dancing lessons with the Inquisitor's bodyguard get a little... out of hand.

Summary
Experts can find no discernable cycle, only that drow who experience heats can expect to do so every decade or so, provided they are in the right environment. Roughly, this means adequate nutrition, lowered levels of stress hormones, and mildly increased levels of sex hormones. Food, calm, and attraction.
It should really be no surprise then that Essek went through exactly one heat at the peak of puberty and never again. A fact that never bothered him much until recently.
Or Essek has finally found someone he wants to share a heat with. Now if only his heat would get the memo.

If nobody knows, tell me, what’s the crime? by MarsBar2019

Summary
(Now a multi-parter by request!)
Ch. 1: Essek has a lot on his mind, not least a certain Empire wizard. Stewing alone at his desk, trying to ignore the demands of his body, Essek is sure that Caleb's heart is someone else's already. He knows he shouldn't take that as a challenge. He knows that shouldn't make him more aroused. Essek Thelyss has never been particularly inclined to keep his hands off what doesn't belong to him.
Ch. 2: New love, new beginnings, new firsts. Archive warning is for a short scene in this chapter, properly marked so it can be skipped.
Ch. 3-5: For a master of subterfuge, Essek hasn't been so great at hiding that he might have some specific interests in the bedroom. Caleb is more than happy to oblige.
(If you're just joining us, I do think all the chapters except the paired ones (3-5) stand on their own, so feel free to jump in where you're interested! They're part of one story but let's be real, it's not plot-heavy.)

Summary
No matter what people say, Essek isn’t a god. As far as the proper classification goes, he’s not even a lesser idol. But he is a deity and the powers he possesses make people whisper his name like a prayer and seek his guidance in matters that transcend knowledge of mortal arcanists.
But, in the end, it's always the same: they cower in fear before him as soon as they realise the size of destruction he’s capable of. There’s no reason to believe that Caleb Widogast would be any different.
EDIT: Now with my version of Exandrian myth of creation with Luxon as the main star!

Summary
“And so,” Eadwulf said, “ever since then, wizards must take care of their hearts, and never give it freely, for they risk the rebellion of their own magic and the curse of the Abyss.”
Silence fell over the gathered audience.
“Of course,” Caleb said, dryly, “you could see this story as a bit of propaganda to make the teenage wizards not go falling in love left and right. You know, focus on schoolwork or you’ll die.”
“Caleb, are you saying you’re in love and it’s killing you?!” Veth half-screamed.
There is so much more to live for than romantic love. After everything, Caleb Widogast chooses to live.Series

Summary
One regret Caleb was never able to resolve was that his life was so brief compared to Essek's.
But what if that wasn't the case anymore?
Maybe the Luxon priests don't know as much about how the beacons work as they think they do.

Summary
“In the Dynasty, There are many, ah... stages. Things are drawn out and it’s generally a terribly public affair.

I am, unfortunately, very well aware of all its stages, however.” An eye roll piques Caleb’s attention.

or, a continuation of "and i know i've kissed you before"— during a vacation to Nicodranas with the Mighty Nein, Essek and Caleb play out Dynasty Courting rituals at the expense of everyone else. So, nothing out of the normal for them, just more scandalous hand touching

Dick’s goal for Thanksgiving (code named Operation F.I.S.H.): A family outing to the aquarium.
It feels achievable - everyone has been getting along better lately, Jason is spiraling closer, Cass is coming home. But there is a lot of unspoken hurt in every direction, and Dick’s own position in the family is shakier than ever since Bruce returned.
If Dick wants to realize his dream of family bonding, there will have to be many painful conversations between all parties. Dick’s own secrets will need to surface, the ones he has long kept submerged, the ones he will fight to sink forever.
(Or: Where Bruce is just a bit darker, even less emotionally available, and treats everyone a little worse, and how they all fix their family anyway.)

Summary
Yuuri wakes up in Victor’s room the night after the Sochi Grand Prix Final banquet. Did they sleep together? No. Instead, last night, Drunk Yuuri taunted Victor that he hadn’t earned the right to get in his pants…and spelled out exactly what Victor would have to do to get there.
Now, Victor intends to do everything on that list…
~
“The conversation,” Victor says, “went something like this. You said I wasn’t getting in your pants that easily.”
Victor says this in a normal tone of voice. Anyone could hear him. Yuuri looks around, but if anyone is paying attention, they’re pretending not to.
“Naturally, I asked what I would have to do to get in your pants.”
“Ah.” Yuuri blushes. “How embarrassing. What do you mean, naturally? Why would you ask that?”
Victor tilts his head. “Because I want to get in your pants. I thought that much was obvious by now.”
~
Note: Yuuri is not in a great headspace post Sochi Grand Final, and this fic necesssarily touches on mental health issues so please check the tags.

In which Essek uses the system to beat the system, Caleb deals with some of his issues, and the Mighty Nein is finally debt free.
