Summary
“May I kiss you?”
The two of them, Caleb and Essek, had been sitting on the three seater couch in Caleb’s home, fireplace crackling, each reading a book for a few hours now...
Essek, ever engrossed in his book took a few seconds to register that Caleb had spoken, and what he’d said, and blinked. He looked up, his brow pinched and head cocked to one side in confusion, “…Come again?”

Summary
There are freckles on Caleb’s back. Essek traces his finger from point to point, like he is trying to find the most efficient way to gather them, collect them on the tip of his finger and steal them for his own. When he reaches the last, he starts over. It is good to try multiple paths. Pathfinding is, after all, an algorithmic challenge. Essek’s canvas twitches, a flex of muscle along the ridge line of a shoulder blade.
“That tickles a bit.” Caleb’s voice is muffled by the pillow.
“I am way-finding,” Essek says, finger looping back to his starting point again.

Summary
Essek is trying to figure out how to atone for what he has done and forgets to take care of himself. Beau was intending to give a shovel talk, but ends up intervening.
“Well, we could use your help when you’re available. Ideally soon. Caleb said you were coming to visit anyway and you’re welcome to stay with him.”
He twitched, a little ear flick. It just confirmed my suspicions.
His voice was apologetic, but firm: “Could I have a few days? I have another commitment imminently, but then I am happy to help.”
More secrets. Great. I leaned forward, making a show of my scrutiny. “What kind of commitment are we talking?”
His ears flicked down. I was frustrating him. “If you must know, I agreed to help a family with their taxes.”
That was not anywhere on the list of things I expected him to say. “I’m sorry, what?”

Summary
“Maybe you’re secretly in love with me."
Caleb smiles. “Maybe.”
“Don’t let Fjord know! You’ll have to brawl for my hand. Actually, maybe Beau wants a fighting pit at her wedding. You should tell Beau you’re going to fight Fjord!”
“I’m not going to fight Fjord.”
Jester sighs, theatrically. “Then you’re not really in love with me.”
“Is loving someone when you want to hurt the other people who love them?”At Beau and Yasha's wedding, a professor and a sleuth try to solve the mystery of love.

"You shouldn't really lurk on other people's porches," Beau suggested. "I thought you were some—some thief or wastrel—"
"Wastrel?" This was apparently enough of an offense that Astrid rose again to standing and gave her a withering glare.

A blue hand shot in the air, waving madly. “I’ll go on watch with Essek!” At the bemused looks of her companions, Jester stuck her tongue out. “What, I’ve done watches with all the rest of you.”
(When Essek starts traveling with the Nein to the ruins of Aeor, Jester volunteers to do a watch with him. Naturally, sleepover shenanagins ensue.)

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
It’d taken a lot of pride swallowing to even post the ad in the first place.
You see, Essek Thelyss is someone who takes great satisfaction in his independence, especially after escaping from under the thumb of his family and their [intense perfectionism]. Being able to buy his own clothes and groceries, take out his own loans for school, and pay his own rent without feeling the pressure to conform to Deirta Thelyss’ ideal of the “prodigal son” was something he found so liberating. He could finally be himself without repercussions…
At least, until his landlord told him that upon signing his upcoming lease, he’d also be raising the rent.
(or, five times Essek's new roommate inconveniences his life, and the one time he (almost) doesn't mind)

This resolution lasted a remarkable twenty-four hours.
*
Small-town high school science teacher Caleb Widogast has his life more or less figured out, or so he thinks. Then an unexpected variable gets thrown into the equation in the form of the new addition to the teaching staff: the handsome and clever Essek Thelyss.

Summary
The Shadowhand has taken a liking to a human.
That’s what the gossip at Vurmas Outpost says, anyway. Entertainment is hard to find when opening a window is a safety hazard and ‘seeing some fresh faces’ is only possible in the context of unearthing yet another adventuring party that has recently perished while trying to brave the Eiselcross wilds without a guide. Endless white mountainscapes dull the mind, fray it thin, and turn it to the only possible alternative source of discovery inside bleak walls—interpersonal drama.
Caleb Widogast has a charm about him, some would agree. What is most curious, however, is the fact that this charm seems to work on Essek of Den Thelyss. This is nigh on incomprehensible, even when the evidence is right there before their very eyes.Bookmarked by im_not_shouting_im_projecting

Summary
There are eight distinct words for various types of “Alliances” in Undercommon. Unfortunately, an inexperienced translator might mis-translate all meanings of the word to “Alliance” in Common.
Caleb and Essek accidentally agree to a romantic “Alliance” for the sake of continued peace between the Empire and the Dynasty.
Post-Episode 141 canon divergent. Spoilers to the end of Campaign 2!

Summary
"And that's when Henry knows: He doesn't ever want to go back."
--
"This is very formal," she says eventually. "Sending a request for an audience with your grandmother."
"Yes, well, this needs to be done formally," Henry says, "it needs to be done right."
And in that moment Henry sees his mother stiffen a little beside him and he knows she's realised. She's put the pieces together. If he's not here to ask for permission to marry then—
Henry takes a deep breath, rolls his shoulders back to lift him up to full height, and draws on all the courage he can muster. "I have come to inform you that I wish to abdicate," he says, just as he'd written and rehearsed, "and I would therefore like to petition Parliament as soon as possible."
--
Title is from Alexander Hamilton's letter on foreign policy. Because what else could I use?
--
Book canon compliant.
