Summary
Caleb Widogast wakes up from the first good night of sleep in far too long.
It takes him a moment to realise it's because he's not in his bed.
Is it the better mattress (lump-free and like a cloud), or the fact he drunkenly slept with Essek Thelyss, the colleague he's been secretly crushing on for the last six months?

Summary
Essek's hand settles on his belly, rubbing in small, uncertain circles. An idle gesture, but one that strikes Caleb as achingly vulnerable, though he can't quite put a finger on why.
“I would do anything,” Essek says, low and fierce, “for all of us to have a little more time.”
[In which Essek joins the Mighty Nein in the fight against Lucien--but none of the Nein know that Essek is pregnant with Ludinus's child.]

Summary
Why, you will ask yourself, does your professor leave his book on his desk during his lessons? Why then, does he keep it open, why does he invite you to look at it, why is he so careless? Doesn't he know that only the wizard who works alone will succeed? Doesn't he know that solitude mitigates risks? Doesn't he know that that's the thing about wizards? Eventually there is only one left.
Professor Widogast, his wizard's spellbook, and the many lessons he learned from his friends.

Summary
When champion Xhorhasian figure skater Essek Thelyss shocks fans by abruptly retiring at the peak of his career, he abandons his picture-perfect life in Rhosona and absconds to the coastal city of Nicodranas. After almost a year of isolation, his plans of quiet solitude crumble when a team of rollerskating misfits name him their ‘unofficially-contracted-temporary choreography consultant’.
With nine months until the Wildmount Grand Prix, Essek must somehow navigate his newfound responsibility while clinging to his dignity. It’s all made harder when he finds himself inexplicably drawn to the team’s resident community college professor who seems to have secrets of his own.

Summary
“In the Dynasty, There are many, ah... stages. Things are drawn out and it’s generally a terribly public affair. It is why I am not very well practiced in being, what is the word in common— Being the primary— the one to initiate and court the secondary. I am, unfortunately, very well aware of all its stages, however.” An eye roll piques Caleb’s attention.
"Herr Thelyss, were you well sought after in the Dynasty, then?”
or, a continuation of "and i know i've kissed you before"— during a vacation to Nicodranas with the Mighty Nein, Essek and Caleb play out Dynasty Courting rituals at the expense of everyone else. So, nothing out of the normal for them, just more scandalous hand touching
