Summary
Dorian Storm, unmoored and free for the first time in his life, blows into a mountain village on winds leading him to the Rift between the material world and the elemental plane of air.
Orym of the Air Ashari has spent the past six years falling into a routine of duty and family after an unexplained tragedy struck Zephrah. It is a numb but comfortable existence, as the Exandria somehow keeps spinning.
✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
“You’re having fun?” Leeta asks.
Orym rolls his eyes. Six years later and they still dote on him. He’s lucky, he reminds himself. “Yes. Good drink, good music… Questionable company aside, I’m having fun.”
“Plus the good view.” Baernie adds, motioning her mug back towards the bard, now onto another jaunty tune, but this time in a language Orym doesn’t understand. It’s all smooth vowels and soft consonants, rushing into his ear like the very wind itself. He’s already staring by the time Baernie’s words register, and he quickly brings up his mug for another long draw, hoping the tall folk sized drinking vessel covers up any hint of heat he can feel rising to his cheeks. It is a good view. He hadn’t even realized that was something he could still notice.

Summary
He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

Summary
'"It’s not a bad job for a person who likes to think. Each day presents new challenges. Each client is a new puzzle to solve," said Caleb
“Do you intend to solve me?”
The man fixed him with a look of such sharp intelligence that Essek was skewered by it.
“I’d like to.”
Essek felt his cheeks darken and his breath catch. He had come into this with no expectations of anything beyond putting up with things until he could make his excuses and then never letting Verin talk him into anything ever again. Now though, he had to know. This man was a fascinating enigma, his own little puzzle.
“Show me.”'
...
Essek gets talked into a night out with Verin and his soldier friends. Little did he know they were going to a brothel.- Language:

Summary
"“No, wait, fuck that,” Beauregard says. “Let me see if I understand. You two had a weird emotional thing in high school where you held hands way too much―”
“We also kissed.”
“What the fuck.” She doesn’t let him answer. “And then you didn’t see each other for some years, and then you saw each other during Christmas and said ‘we can keep fucking, no strings attached, but let’s put our Christmas lights together in a box, I’m sure they won’t get tangled together’. And so you two kept fucking, but only during the holidays."
Essek takes another sip of his shot glass of wine. “Essentially.”"
Maybe visiting his old town is only an excuse Essek uses to see Caleb.
