It’s been a month since Essek last saw Caleb. It’s been longer than that since he last had an orgasm.
Caleb has a mirror. Essek has a full bladder. And both of them will be wrecked by the end of this.

Summary
It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.
He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”
Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”

Summary
“I am pretty fucked, Essek.”
He doesn’t intend to let the spell go, but it unravels along with his concentration as the pain becomes overwhelming. Wincing, he lets his arm fall back to the ground. He’s been trained to take this. Nothing ambitious for a moment. Just breathe.
Prompt: Caleb and Essek are separated in Aeor and Caleb gets blinded.

Summary
“Come here?” Caleb asks, parting his own legs a little wider. He wears an expression of casual awe, and below it, a smart-looking vest and shirt over wide linen trousers, and below that, the traveler’s boots he refuses to give up.
Essek could go to him easily. Because he likes to make life challenging for himself and for others, he instead circles around the armchair Caleb is occupying, pausing behind it to drag out the moment. He hears the shaky exhale he was waiting for. His lips curl up in satisfaction.
The two of them have pined and prowled and yearned enough in their youth to make a game of it now. They have earned such things.

Summary
Beau begins by sighing exasperatedly, which is typically not ideal for selling a pitch, but what the fuck, right? “I wanted to ask you,” she says, carefully now, “If you would maybe be interested in working with the Cobalt Soul. In a more, uh, official capacity. Like with a salary and everything, or whatever.”
There is a silence which is somehow worse than the silence that they were sitting in before. Essek makes a small sound that must be unconscious, sort of like a death rattle. Beau didn’t know such an undignified noise was in his repertoire.

Summary
“Caleb,” Essek asks in an undertone, as they walk away from one window, its festive display festooned in so many colorful sparkling lights that the very sight makes Essek’s eyes water, “if there is something you want to buy, then why not just buy it?”
“Too expensive,” Caleb demurs, the denial so prompt it cannot be anything but reflexive. “Besides, I don't need it.”

Summary
The Empire is winning the war. In the wake of his master's death, Volstrucker Bren ascended to Archmage of Civil Influence, but he's been secretly undermining the Empire by feeding intelligence to the Mighty Nein, a group of adventurers fighting for peace. When his rival and friend the Shadowhand is captured, Bren acts on the only idea that will spare a Kryn politician from execution: claiming him as a war prize.
Bren and Essek are forced to perform a fake politican/concubine relationship, including all the tension and jingoism it entails, while taking advantage of their circumstances to spy on and steal from the court around them. Bren may wield the leash, but Essek has cards up his sleeve, and even so, Bren fears hurting Essek almost as much as Essek fears losing Bren. Their mutual trepidation must graduate to mutual trust — maybe even love — if they have any hope of surviving the lie they started.

Summary
It was as easy as breathing to slip off the couch and onto his knees. Essek leaned back and spread his legs, arching an eyebrow, though he seemed unable to keep the smile off his face. Caleb liked the curve of his lips very much. He said, "Eager, aren't you?"
Essek brings him a gift, and Caleb just wants to thank him properly.

Summary
“I should clarify,” said Essek, when Marion returned with the box. “We have experimented with intoxicants before, with initial success and subsequent failure. Recently, we have used enchantment, though Caleb hesitates to become reliant on it for ethical reasons, and I for practical ones.”
Marion raised a brow. “You don’t wish to condition yourself to come in your trousers every time he makes to cast?”

Summary
As Essek and Caleb grow closer in Aeor, Essek is forced to confront the challenges that their differing sleep schedules present.
Caleb views this less as a challenge, and more as an excuse to have his way with Essek in the middle of the night, before returning to sleep until morning.

Summary
The bar did seem like a fun idea. Eadwulf got up and caught Astrid's gaze nearly immediately—she gestured lazily, stop, so he stopped bemusedly and waited for her to saunter over to him instead.
"Wulfie," she said, swaying ever so slightly. "I think the Expositor is cheating at 99 Bottles."
Eadwulf and Astrid attend a wedding.

Summary
"Essek," Caleb says hastily, but he has already ducked back around the corner for cover and is chanting. "Astrid, if you could please—" He hasn't had to replace the couch in the past five years and he's grown rather attached to the odd, asymmetrical stitching on this one.
Astrid twirls the knife in her hand and calls out, "Calm down, Thelyss, he likes this."
Caleb would protest, except that when she raises the blade to point it again in his direction, well.
They get along, don't they?

Summary
He was wearing a large sunhat and sunglasses that fit poorly to his whole image, and he had tucked his hands into his loose sleeves, as was his habit. He was smiling now because Astrid made him uncomfortable.
Astrid is surprised when Essek seeks her out for a conversation.

Summary
As he sits on the most uncomfortable bar stool ever devised by humanity, Essek has many questions.
How does he tell his blind date that he’s only here as a favour to a mutual friend? How will he even recognise the guy he’s supposed to meet in this insufficiently lit place, when the only distinctive features in the blurry pic Jester sent him are his red hair and blue eyes? Why is he even here in the first place?
