Summary
Essek Thelyss dies.
Years later, Caleb continues to see him — in the study, in the bedroom, beneath the apple trees. For some time, he’s convinced these are nothing more than hallucinations. Wouldn’t be his first. But hallucinations don’t scare the cats. Hallucinations don’t leave scars on his chest. And the more twisted this visage of Essek becomes, the clearer it is that he needs Caleb’s help, now more than ever.

Summary
Essek tore his gaze away from those red eyes, seeking desperately something safer, softer. He was among friends. Cognouza was seconds ago and a timeline away. It hadn't happened — it wouldn't happen.
He settled on Jester, who beamed.
"Hi," she said, kindly, "I'm Jester. I like your weasel."
**
In another timeline, the Mighty Nein fall to Lucien. Essek, with Artagan-the-weasel's help, travels back in time to save them.

Summary
"Essek, stop."
Caleb resists. Hands firm — not soft, not caressing — on Essek's shoulders, he holds him at arm's length. His eyes are searching, and Essek finds he cannot meet them.
"Bitte, be honest with me, dear. Do you want to have sex with me?"
"You want to." Essek says. "And I am willing. Is that not enough?"
Caleb sighs and drops his hands, though not before petting Essek's cheek so briefly. "No, it really isn't."

Summary
"Caleb, are you alright? The tunnel must have collapsed. I made it out with a few scrapes, but I can't find you."
The words come through Caleb's mind in Essek's voice, smooth, controlled, delivered by magic.
There is no echo of a physical voice to accompany. Essek is too far away to be heard.
"I am .. I'm alive. Currently pinned under some rubble. I cannot move, see, or cast. Breathing is difficult. Some broken bones. Please come quickly."

Summary
The Champion thrust his arm deep into the damp earth of a fresh grave until his fist closed around a bejeweled horn. He pulled, and finally the soul surfaced.
Along with the body.
The Champion gave the corpse a little shake, as if hoping to jostle the soul out and onto the next leg of its journey.
"Do you mind?" The body spoke.
That wasn't supposed to happen.
***
Vax is sent to escort Molly into the next life. Things don't quite go as planned.

Summary
Rexxentrum should not be a safe harbor for a man like Essek Thelyss, but Caleb Widogast's well-stocked cottage on Maple Hill is. So it is never a surprise for Caleb to come home to find the object of his affection passed out, gently snoring on his couch, a dusty tome in one hand and an empty vial of healing potion in the other.
What is a surprise is coming home to find Essek sprawled on the kitchen floor, sluggishly bleeding and still as a stone.

Summary
Beau was in her element. Helping down-on-their-luck-villagers, fighting random Fire Nation soldiers, kicking ass — this is what she was born for.
Okay, some people would argue she was born to find and protect and aid the Avatar or whatever, but nobody knew who that was yet, so Beau was off the hook for that. For now.
The Cobalt Soul Avatar shit wasn't even a destiny she was born with anyway. It was just something her dad forced her into when he realized she wouldn't be his perfect little wine-lord princess. So who could blame her for totally ignoring her futile Avatar finding quest?

Summary
“Anyway,” said Tim, making a show of checking his watch, “it’s 10:45, which means it’s time for me to take a fifteen minute break. Think you can handle yourself out here while I’m gone?”
Martin took a deep breath and stood himself behind the cash registers, fidgeting with a sharpie. The cafe hadn't exactly been busy so far, and going from the last few hours it was perfectly possible to go fifteen minutes without a customer.
But still. He’d only learned how to use the equipment that morning and could only hope it didn’t show.
“Oh, by the way!” Tim had poked his head back through the door and was looking at Martin with a serious expression that wildly contradicted the light air to his voice. “Dunno if anyone told you, but, well. Nobody who works in the mall is human, except us in the cafe. Just thought you should know. Alright, ‘bye!”

Summary
How nice would it be if Steph could just move to Bludhaven? And it could be her and Cass again, and things would be like they used to except they’d be Nightwing and Batgirl insead of Batgirl and Spoiler. Just like old times.
Actually ...
What was keeping Steph in Gotham? She very well could just up and leave, couldn’t she?

Summary
“Okay fine.” Dick shrugged and leaned back. “If you won't accept my help, I guess you’ll have to just find your roommate off Craigslist.”
“No, no.” Donna groaned. “It’s fine. What’s her name?”
“Kory.”
“Kory? You don’t mean your ex, Kory?”
“Is that a problem?”
Donna pinched the bridge of her nose. “Why are you trying to set me up with your ex?”

"Because this isn’t a stranger, but he might as well be, and the fact that there’s nothing behind the kisses – nothing but lust behind it all – is tearing him up inside.
Wally’s never considered himself a masochist before."

“I knew you would save me,” Dick said, resting his chin on Wally’s head. “I’m not as reckless as you think. The risks I take are calculated, and not to brag, but I’m pretty good at math.”

Wally had a Plan. And it was a good plan. It was cheesy and romantic and all of that crap. And then it just HAD to go and snow, and now everything is ruined.
