    Summary

    Essek doesn’t date, and for good reason. It’s exhausting, the dance around feelings and pleasure, made worse by the shadow of his ill health. He’s perfectly content with the company of his Guides, their platonic exchange of intimacies fully serviceable. He doesn’t need anyone else.

    Caleb Widogast is the Empire human making a valiant attempt towards involving himself in Rosohna’s kink scene. He shouldn’t be as charming as he is but Essek finds himself drawn to Caleb, caught in his gravity well, pulled past the event horizon against his will. He doesn’t quite mind, especially when Essek connects Caleb Widogast to Bren Ermendrud, the researcher on loan from Soltryce studying time travel under Essek’s purview here in the Marble Tomes.

    Don’t we all have mistakes we wish to correct?

    Essek has made many and, caught up in a whirlwind romance with a Dom perfect in all the ways he didn’t know he wanted, he makes many more.

    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

    "Your three-year-old eats more than you," Alfie says, giving Tommy a very straight look. Fucking hell, Tommy rolls his eyes internally, because he could do without this on their first morning here; this whole scenario is bizarre enough. He knows he's lost weight, and he knows Alfie's noticed, but it's been a stressful few months and he'll put it back on in his own time. The words, "fuck off," are on the tip of his tongue, but for the sake of avoiding hypocrisy he doesn't vocalise them.
