Summary
The peace negotiations between the Empire and the Kryn Dynasty were a nasty, drawn out affair. One clause, in the long and complicated treaty, exchanged an Empire mage with interesting transmutation abilities to the Dynasty.
Bren Aldric Ermendrud has discovered a way to help replenish the Dynasty's lost generations - a way to recreate the rare ability for drow to lay and bear clutches, and reproduce in larger numbers. Bren, of course, will be a gift of enormous value to the Dynasty - a human who will bear the first of many clutches, rejuvenating the Dynasty under the light of the Luxon.

Summary
The ringing note of a concert A is played by the oboe, echoing on its own in the space. It’s picked up by the wind section, followed rapidly by the brass, and the familiar feeling of an orchestra calibrating takes over Caleb. The tonal adjustments as each person brings their instrument into alignment sinks into him and something inside Caleb shifts in recognition as Essek leads the strings into their own tuning.
It’s like something is waking up, like something unfurling and firing across long-unused paths of memory. His hands shake slightly, as he raises his bow and joins them, fingers fumbling against the pegs and fine tuners that give him control over his instrument.
----
Essek Thelyss is a leading violinist, his spot as Shadowhand of the Rosohna Philharmonic Orchestra has been uncontested for over a decade. Caleb Widogast is a recent arrival to the city, convinced by his friends to audition for one of the vacant violinist positions.
After starting off on the wrong foot, Caleb and Essek get to slowly know each other, discover what brings them joy, create while defying expectations, and find out that what they can produce together may just be better than anything they can do separately.

Summary
After Lucien, after Ikithon, after everything, Essek is on the run, and that means he and Caleb spend far more time apart than either of them would prefer. But Essek has a spell that will collapse the distance between them—at least in dreams.
And oh, does he ever have plans for his beloved when they see each other again.
(Or: Essek uses the dream spell to visit Caleb while they’re apart, and takes him on a wildly imaginative sexcapade.)

Summary
Essek clears his throat and turns around, gliding towards the centre of the room to inspect the pole. He lays a cautious hand against the steel, testing the feel of it against his skin, and steps around it with an elegance that seems practised. Pausing in place, he slides a hand up and down the length of the metal and hums appreciatively.
Caleb’s mouth is very dry.
“Not bad.” Essek muses. “The circumference is just right.”Or: AU in which everything is the same except Essek can pole dance. And Caleb finds out about it. And hatches a clever plan to… find out about it some more.

Summary
Essek has always been attracted to Caleb's magic. There was no denying that. It was something of a joke, how he would throw himself at Caleb when he had done something particularly clever. When Caleb masters True Polymorph and turns himself into a dragon, it is no different.
