Summary
Essek longs to be a part of Den Nein. After the peace talks and his confession under the deck of the Balleater, he decides to set out to find a gift for each of his friends, in the hopes of expressing his commitment and earning back their friendship. But Essek is used to relationships being transactional, and whatever material gifts he can think of aren't enough to convey the love he has for these folks.
Luckily, he knows just who to start with: Jester.

Summary
Brevity has never been his strong suit, and the lies on Caleb's tongue melt like ash in water.
He would chase them if he could. Calloused hands delving into icy water.
But every syllable that slithers from between his teeth is too fast and too sharp for him to reach.
The truth shackles him to the ground and all Caleb can do is wait it out.
(A truth spell has taken hold of Caleb Widogast, and it goes as horribly as you'd expect from such a scenario.)Series

Summary
“You are an odd duck Beauregard.”
“No shit,” she takes another drink.
“You talk about how strange and mysterious I am,” Caleb continues, “But you are worse than any of us I think.”
“The fuck do you mean man?” She glares at him. She’s too buzzed to be patient enough for him to get to his point.
“Lionett.”
She freezes.

Summary
Beau’s never been able to study Yasha’s face at such length before, and she finds herself drinking in every single detail. Her long, tangled hair fans out across the pillow, and her face still has smudges of blue war paint on it. Her breathing is even, and Beau continues to watch it. She counts the seconds between breaths, and eventually finds her own eyes beginning to droop.
Right before she falls asleep, Beau swears she hears thunder in the distance.
(Spoilers from E86.)

Summary
Beau took the dome for granted back when they used that shit every night. Totally slipped her mind that it wasn’t just a warm space, but also a protected space until the Traveler himself, an old-ass fey pseudo-god, couldn’t even get through it when Caleb decided not to let him.
It’s happening again too with their mansion. It was all luster and nervous excitement and cat butlers for the first couple weeks, but now it’s just a given. When they’re all tapped out from a long day and Caleb has to inform the Nein that they have to stay at an Inn for the night, there’s a general gentle grumbling because they’re all spoiled as hell.
or: sometimes people you love show their love through magic to cope
