Summary
Beau risked a glance over her shoulder as she ran. The thing was following her, tumbling over itself with unnatural angular movements, and was catching up.
She didn’t need to wonder what would happen if the thing reached her; there was a bone-deep intuition letting her know that this thing was wrong, that it should not exist, and she should do anything in her power to avoid touching it. Perhaps a dumb animalistic instinct woken from where it had been sleeping between the coils of DNA by her sheer terror.
Geneva, Switzerland. February 1989.Both Beau and Caleb are quite sure that they understand the way of the world, be it scientific or a tad more pessimistic. But when strange and unexplainable occurrences begin haunting them they are both forced to confront the new reality: that magic is seeping into their world from another, far more dangerous one.

Summary
Essek clung to her; his fingers gripped the front of her coat. He looked small in a way he never had before, frightened in a way that Caleb hadn’t fully processed he could be. It wasn’t Essek’s nervousness, the anxiety of a brilliant man who could see danger all around him, who could see the falling dominoes and the way the web he had woven had entangled him. It was the fear of a small child, or indeed, a stray cat—the fear of a creature trapped in a terrifying world it did not understand.
Essek, brilliant Essek, Essek who believed he could find the answers to everything, unable to understand a thing—the thought of it stabbed at Caleb’s heart.
---
In a world where Trent makes it back to Eiselcross before the Nein do, Essek spends a night under the effects of the Feeblemind spell. Caleb undertakes a duty of care, and the Nein learn how Essek feels about them beneath everything.

Summary
"Oh!" the social worker says, brittle and bright, her voice reedy in the wide room they've given her as an office, "I like your socks, Caleb!"
He blinks at her and then down at his socks. "I like cats," he manages, after twenty-four seconds staring at the little cotton kittens dancing around his ankles. He sees her type: expressed interest in cats. only occasion of verbalisation during meeting. some interaction.

The first is that he is very much in love with this man. He has known for a while, but here, now, he lets himself feel it.
The second is that Caleb might be in love with him as well.
