    Summary

    “You will be my undoing Essek Thelyss,” He whispered into the space between them.

     

    “You were mine, Caleb Widowgast.”

     

     

    A series of one-shots dotted along the timeline of Caleb and Essek's relationship after the finale. In somewhat of a timeline order, mostly fluff.

    Summary

    Fortunately for Essek, he has many years practice at remaining impassive. Unfortunately for Essek, his judgement is entirely incorrect.

     

    It is not a figure from the Dynasty that stands before him, but rather one from the Empire. A hunched figure in a worn overcoat, hands clutching his side and head bowed- a head of fiery hair that Essek has seen reflected in every flame since they had sat together on that ship.

    Summary

    Essek does not need to ask for anything else from this particular moment. He doesn’t.

    This is enough for him, it is.

    But that question echoes from memory to present:

    Is it?

    Essek flexes his cold fingers against words long absorbed.

    Perhaps he can allow himself a little more warmth today.

    Perhaps today is the day to finally speak what this is.

    Summary

    “Your mark is something wonderful, Sylvain. I know your father and Miklan...I know it doesn’t seem like it is now, but you will see it one day. And it’s your soulmark, remember that. Not anyone else's.”

    Sylvain is six when his soulmark appears, and although he has some recollections of the time before this, they all seem to pale and fade against the downwards spiral that begins on this day.

    The day his life stops being his own and belongs to other people. Including someone he's never met, who he isn't sure he ever wants to.
