    The October Daily Writing Themes on Tumblr sounded like a lot of fun so here we go!

    These fics will probably not be related to each other much at all. We're just writing whatever we're struck with. If some happy accident occurs, we'll let you know.

    Summary

    Beau couldn’t believe what she was witnessing. It frankly fucking figured that Jester “Best Detective” Lavorre would stumble on the most irrefutable evidence to date that the wizards were—no, nope, she wasn’t going to think about that, no thanks—and manage to be totally fucking clueless about it.

    Summary

    “Come here?” Caleb asks, parting his own legs a little wider. He wears an expression of casual awe, and below it, a smart-looking vest and shirt over wide linen trousers, and below that, the traveler’s boots he refuses to give up.

    Essek could go to him easily. Because he likes to make life challenging for himself and for others, he instead circles around the armchair Caleb is occupying, pausing behind it to drag out the moment. He hears the shaky exhale he was waiting for. His lips curl up in satisfaction.

    The two of them have pined and prowled and yearned enough in their youth to make a game of it now. They have earned such things.

    Accidentally crying

    Summary

    Essek is shaking once he’s sat there for twenty minutes. He’s thirsty. He wants to walk over to the jug of cold water on the table by the door. He needs to get up. He can’t.
    He won't cry. It’s stupid to cry over this. 
    Verin gurgles.
    “I hate you.” Essek curls his fingers around his elbows. “I hate you. I hate you.”

    For as long as Essek can remember, he has been cursed to obey. He has managed, in his own way, to mitigate the consequences of the curse while pursuing his academic and personal desires. It is only after being commanded to act as a guide for the Mighty Nein that it becomes a true complication.

    Summary

    “We ventured too far, considering our unexpectedly low number.” Essek turns his face against the light, as if to let it cleanse some unwanted quality from his expression. Instead, he looks carved in bone, immortalized in frowning marble. “There were … traps. Perfectly clever ones. Still functioning.”

    —--------

    Essek tries and fails and tries to save the man he loves.
