Summary
Caleb’s running a fever by the time the rest of the Mighty Nein find him.
He was expecting that much – he’s done this before, after all, knows that it’s a bad idea and will not go well in the long run. However, bleeding out in the middle of a forest is also not a good idea, and will also not go well in the long run. The difference is that bleeding out in the middle of a forest will go exceptionally poorly in the short run, so it’s a lesser-of-two evils sort of thing. He’s well-versed in Faustian bargains, made both unwittingly and otherwise. It’s fine.
(In which Caleb gets separated from the rest of the group, and then injured, and then some rather ill-advised DIY field medicine involving fire. The rest of the Mighty Nein are left to pick up the pieces when they find him.)

Summary
For months, Caleb had convinced himself that nothing good could come from his feelings toward Mollymauk. It was clear the other reciprocated some amount of it back, but how could it do them or their team any good? The answer was simple - it wouldn't
OR:
Yasha smacks some sense into Caleb so he can understand why he truly is afraid of taking that leap.Bookmarked by nerdgoetz8

Summary
“Hey, can we get this?” Caleb froze at the sight of Jester waving around a bound spell scroll. The sensation of a cane landing on his back and shameful pleasure filled his mind for a moment before he managed to blink it away.
“Aw, yeah! It’d be handy to have a charm spell on hand when shit hits the fan.” Beau added.
“Cayleb, can you spare any gold right now?” Jester had pleaded. The wizard choked over his words for a moment.
“I’d… Rather not support… Makers of those kinds of scrolls.” He managed.
“Really, why?” Beau, ever inquisitive.
“They’re… Made kind of… Unethically, you know?”~ O ~
In which Trent Ikkythong taught his students that charm spell scrolls require certain ritual preparation, Caleb Widogast goes a good thirty-plus years without realising he was sexually abused, and I ask myself why the hell I want to hurt my comfort characters so bad.
Serious hurt, with endgame positive ending.
Seriously y’all, read them tags and take care of yourselves.Bookmarked by nerdgoetz8

Summary
“Well then, I shall ask you a question,” said Essek, “Do you believe I should participate in conversation more than I do?”
Caleb raised his head in alarm. Did his friend think he was being criticised? Did Essek interpret Caleb’s judgement of his own silence as reflected upon him? Caleb raised his hands plaintively, “No, not at all. In fact, I think I’d be a little taken aback if you did. Please understand, it is not silence itself that I dislike and I certainly do not condemn yours, only my...lack of ability.”
“Why should you hold yourself to a standard you do not hold others to?"
:
:::5 times Essek saw Caleb's unmasked self (and loved him all the same) and 1 time Caleb saw Essek's (and loved him the way he deserved).
