Summary
There's something in Caleb's dreams. It wants him to know that he's not alone. It wants him to know that he'll never be alone again.
Elves don't dream, so all Essek can do is watch.

Summary
relativity, noun. 1) In physics: the degree to which a phenomenon’s perception differs between observers based on their independent reference frames; 2) In philosophy: the belief that there is no absolute morality existing beyond the conditioning of the individual.
The return to Aeor is a crucible of sorts- all that they have this time is each other, which is both electrifying and terrible in near-equal quantities. Two wizards in one place is trouble, but when they're Caleb and Essek it's a match to acetylene.
(Or: how it falls apart and comes back together.)

Summary
“The Bright Queen will not allow Essek to teach me any more dunamancy. And I cannot talk him into disobeying her. So, I am taking a different approach. Hopefully a more… effective one.”
“You mean you're sleeping with him in exchange for magic lessons?”
Caleb winced at Beau's bluntness. "Not exactly."
--
Caleb has a plan. Caleb has done this before. Caleb knows what he's doing.
(Caleb doesn't know anything, especially about his own feelings.)

Summary
Essek's tone is academic, clinical, cold. “It would be pointless to deny that I am attracted to you. And I wouldn’t object if what happened last night would happen again. But I would be grateful if we could keep it between us.”
There’s a beat, then Caleb nods. “I’m fine with keeping it quiet and casual.”
Or how cold, ruthless and lonely Essek Thelyss (a brilliant student with a secret) accidentally makes some friends and falls in love: a Shadowgast college AU.

Summary
"You’ve all grown so much," their mother says.
Edmund is too young to register, but older now than he was at his first war; Lucy, who had been so young when they had left, grew into herself in a world filled with magic. All of them, they have responsibility pressed into their shoulders, old ropes they can’t even grasp for. No one is asking them to take that mantle on their shoulders, and that’s the hardest part. You get used to the weight. You build your world around it, build your identity into the crooks and crannies of the load you carry.
Susan has forgotten about being a child. She is the blessed, the chosen, the promised. Susan has decades on her classmates, wars, loss and betrayal, victory and growing fields, the trust of her subjects. It was a visceral thing, to have all those lives under her protection and to know that her subjects slept safe, peacefully, on dark nights.
Here, on this drab concrete, her people are untouchable, indefensible; her self is vanished, her kingdom gone; she can feel the loss like a wound. She has lost her power, but that trust, that responsibility remains. It circles her ankles, trips her in the school hallways.

Summary
Als Friedrich sich entschieden hatte, Lehrer zu werden, hatte er nicht damit gerechnet, für's Referendariat zurück an seine alte Schule zu kommen. Und als wäre das noch nicht genug, ist sein Ausbilder kein Geringerer als Herr Oberstudienrath Dr. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in den Friedrich die letzten vier Jahre seiner Schulzeit hoffnungslos verschossen gewesen war.
Es folgen Deutschunterricht, Klassenfahrten, ein Theaterstück, eine Hochzeit und Friedrich, der seinen Crush in den Griff bekommen sollte.Es kann doch nicht angehen, dass dieses Fandom noch kein Highschool AU hat.
(Das M Rating ist für einzelne Smut-Szenen, die Fic an sich ist T. Die betreffenden Szenen sind nochmal ausgeschildert und können problemlos übersprungen werden.)

Summary
He’s about to open his door to go to the shared bathroom on this floor when he notices the scrap of paper that’s been pushed under his door. It’s a salmon-colored flashcard, the type that’s sold in 500-packs with multiple colors. Bakugou stoops to retrieve it, frowning at the message he finds written on it.
Hey neighbor, welcome to the house! I heard you knocking things around, yesterday, and I think you maybe punched a wall? Anyway, the landlady gets pissy if you put holes in the wall, but I have a punching bag! You can come over and use it, or I can move it into the hall, if you want!
There’s only one other bedroom on the fourth floor. Now, Bakugou crosses the hall to the bedroom on the right side, slamming the post-it note against the door.
Fuck off and die, it reads.
Bakugou Katsuki is not going to jeopardize his future a second time, and that means staying away from anyone who gets too close. Kirishima Eijirou has never learned how not to be close to someone. Of course, they end up as next-door neighbors.

Summary
It is Fajr, the dawn prayer. Lawrence sleeps.
Dawn in Paris is often a foggy matter: the hours in which it struggles to bring its diffused glow through the bedroom curtains drag on with difficulty. These most holy, most beloved hours grind forward until the light is grey and everywhere desaturated.
It does not feel any different than almost all the steps Faisal has had to take in this country.*
Lawrence returns to Paris after the death of his father. His words to Gertrude Bell, his loyalties, and Faisal's anger and feelings of betrayal must all come to a reckoning.- Language:
