    Summary

    Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.

    Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.

    Summary

    “So... you’re a transfer student?” Jayce ventures, trying to fill the silence.

    Viktor shakes his head. “Exchange student. From The Czech Republic. I was in a dorm, but the elevator is broken more than it works. Housing made arrangements.” He sets his suitcase down and adjusts his cane, his movements precise but clearly strained.

    “Right,” Jayce says, feeling a flicker of guilt for his earlier irritation. “Well, uh, welcome, I guess. Your room’s down the hall on the left.”

    Viktor doesn’t respond, already moving toward the hallway without waiting for further instructions. Jayce watches him disappear into the room, the door clicking shut behind him.

    He flops back onto the couch, grabbing his phone to text Caitlyn again:

    Jayce: He hates me already.

    Caitlyn: Don’t so be dramatic. Give it time. Maybe bake him cookies or something.

    Jayce: He doesn’t seem like a cookie guy. More like... brooding and vaguely annoyed at my existence.

    Caitlyn: Perfect. You’re great at brooding and vaguely annoying. 😘

    Summary

    "Think about it, Sev—no more late night calls. No more fishing him outta the Pilt when he has a bad day. He'll have Vander to torment instead of us."

    "Don't call me Sev," Sevika snapped. She hung her head, letting out a long-suffering sigh.

    "Oh, hells," she said, and met Ran's eyes square on. "I'm in. Let's get those two miserable old men fucking again."
    -------

    In which Sevika and Ran conspire to get Silco and Vander back together.
    OR
    Silco gets put in the torture chair and Vander fucks his brains out.
