Summary
Essek’s hair is much longer than he’d ever seen it, seeming to be just about shoulder length, though it’s pulled into a messy ponytail at the back of his head. He wears the same mantle he’d always worn, the hem of the cloak looks battered now. He turns to look at Caleb, and his face is… Sunken. He looks emaciated, like he’s on the brink of starving, like he hasn’t rested in days.
Caleb stares at him, and Essek gives a weak smile, his whole body sinking as his feet come to rest on the ground.
He maintains eye contact with Caleb as he speaks, though he seems to be addressing the Nein at large. “I did it. Welcome back, my friends.”
~~~
The Mighty Nein TPK in Aeor but Essek escapes and does cool wizard shit to bring them back, sacrificing his life to time travel repercussions in the process. -

Summary
Caleb met his soulmate, Astrid, at a young age, and was able to see colour long before many of his peers, but when he lost his sanity, he lost his ability to see colour too.
Turns out soulmates are bound to more than just your literal state of living. -

Summary
“Why us?” Beau asks, a quiet night on watch, the two of them awake in the dome, while everyone else sleeps.
“It’s a disease, Beauregard. Why do some people get cancer and others don’t? Why do some people catch a cold and others don’t?” Caduceus explains, a look of fondness on his face before the cough comes, violent red and green erupting from his throat. “We are just lucky, I guess.”
Essek, Beau, and Caduceus are all suffering from unrequited love, and a disease that causes flowers to grow in their lungs. Why them and not the rest of the Mighty Nein, who knows, but this disease seems made to cause them suffering. Hanahaki AU: Beaujester(/yasha), Shadowgast, Fjorclay.

Summary
He has a soulmate, and he must manipulate them and use them. He has someone whom he cannot lie to, and he must deceive them.
He has someone he might be happy with, and he tore that chance asunder three years ago, when he slipped two Beacons into his wristpocket and teleported away to the Empire.
(In which you cannot lie to your soulmate. Which makes things difficult, if you are Essek Thelyss, and you were raised a liar.)

Summary
"He still looked devastatingly attractive in every possible way and it wasn’t fair because he looked like he had just rolled out of the bed. Essek needed at least an hour in the morning to talk himself into being even vaguely pleasant.
“Oh! Guten Morgen, and welcome back to the Xhorhaus Bakery,” Caleb said, a certain pleasant crinkle to his expression. He was smiling a soft, gentle smile that caught Essek off guard. “What can I get you this morning?”
At Xhorhaus Bakery, where the Mighty Nein bake up Rosohna's most delectable treats, magic is something that is in the air. For Essek Theylss, there might just be love there too. *COMPLETED*

Summary
There’s something new in the air, something obvious yet intangible, like a rise in temperature, a shift in scent.
It’s her. It’s the familiar. A fey spirit in the form of a bat is chewing at Essek’s earrings, and for the first time, his towers are home to a living creature aside from him.
(In which Essek adjusts to life with his new familiar.)
