Summary
Essek thought he knew the meaning of devotion, but watching Caleb he has now come to understand it. He sees it in the way Caleb operates, in every decision he makes. A clear devotion to his goals and his people and his passions.
When did Essek begin to feel it himself?
For decades Essek has danced with false devotion. False devotion to the Queen, to the Luxon, to his country. Yet, he is beginning to feel that the King of the Empire, Caleb Widogast, is a man he could dedicate a devout devotion to.

Summary
Growing up in the blood bath of regal politics, Canute had learned to do one thing above all else- discern men. It was simple. Either he should be wary of a man or not, and of those he was wary of, who should he make face with.
But then there was Thorfinn. There are always exceptions to any and every rule, but even that logic still couldn’t stick Thorfinn under a neat label inside the Prince’s mind.
— In other words a little character study in Canute’s POV about him trying to decipher this puzzle that is Thorfinn —

Summary
The Mighty Six (not so aptly named), found themselves in a tight situation. In their attempt to free Yeza and Luc Brenatto from the Kryn Dynasty where they'd been taken (and wasn't that a shock, finding out their alcoholic goblin friend is actually a married halfling with a child), they were captured and taken for interrogation, when they encounter what might be the least expected person they could imagine.
Dawntreader Caleb Widogast.
It's not every day that you see a human in the Bright Queen's court.

Summary
Essek had a problem. A human shaped, red haired, annoyingly sharp problem that had been tormenting him ever since Caleb had become a grad student at the Marble Tomes Conservatory.
His solution to that problem, in hindsight, had been incredibly foolish. But how was he to know that after hours of searching the internet for the perfect video that he could take himself in hand to, letting himself imagine that he was the lavender skinned tiefling between the anonymous pale thighs — he would meet Mollymauk in all his ostentatious glory the next evening, wrapped around Caleb’s shoulders.
What follows is Essek’s slow descent into the chaos that is the Mighty Nein’s friend group, and the tangle of feelings that comes from having a crush on your brightest student who you have watched be thoroughly railed by a very very pretty tiefling online.
