Summary
“Caleb…” Essek’s voice filled the bedroom, loud in spite of his whispering. Caleb didn’t even have the energy to roll over and look at them. Instead, he somehow mustered up a shrug and a weary sigh. He felt them both sitting on the edge of the bed, feeling Molly’s fingers stroking down his spine. He just about managed to roll over with a significant amount of effort, the pair of them lying on either side of him. Molly’s fingers then starting to stroke through his hair.
“Okay love?” He asked, though he must already have a suspicion of the answer. Caleb gave a slight shrug, though he shook his head a moment later.
“Yeah, I figured that was the case.”

Summary
“There are tampons in your bathroom,” She said in a way that sounded like a question and an accusation.
“Yes,” he said and then took a slip of his cocoa nonchalantly, “Pads too.”
“I didn't leave these here.”
“No, you did not. I purchased them,” he said, clearly amused by her confusion.
“For who!?” she almost shouted.

Summary
Essek stepped into the lecture hall with 15 minutes to spare, and glanced around the room. There was already a decent amount of people filling the room, and most of his preferred seats had already been taken by the other early risers. One remained, next to a young man in a worn brown sweater and white button down. Essek sighed. He didn't prefer to sit next to strangers, but it seemed as if it could not be avoided if he wanted to get a good seat. He climbed the steps and slipped into the row, making his way to the seat. He saw the man tense, and frowned, before slipping into the seat and setting his bag on the floor next to him.
He turned to look at his observer and nearly dropped the pen still in his hand. The bluest eyes he had ever seen stared back at him, framed with long lashes and surrounded by a constellation of freckles. The man was gorgeous. -

Summary
"Shit - Caleb, hey. Stay with me." Fjord pressed a hand to the man's chest, anchoring himself maybe more than the man on ground. "You're okay."
But Caleb didn't respond.
He was too warm. Not just feverish, but the kind of heat that felt spent - like the ash left over when a flame burns itself out.OR
In the ruins of an ancient temple, Caleb gives more than he has - again. When the fight ends and the dust settles, it’s Fjord who catches him. Who sees through the quiet self-destruction and refuses to let him burn away.
Caleb might think he has to earn his place with pain and sacrifice. But Fjord knows better.

Summary
This is what Caleb Widogast is—he is a wretched, oil-slick sort of thing, down to the pure throbbing essence of his core. It's a miracle beyond comprehension, then, that he is loved despite the blood overfilling in the honeycombs of his bones. It is the sort of miracle that he thought was reserved for better men than him.
Or: a collection of disparate stories about Caleb having a bad time, with a focus on healing and friendship. Featuring (among others) sleep deprivation, vampires, and the pervasive horror of slowly losing your humanity.

Summary
The carnival was supposed to be just a night out. A little laughter, a little competition, maybe a few stolen kisses if you were feeling brave.
But standing there under cheap lights and the slow hush of rain, with Caleb smiling at you like you’re gravity itself, you realize it was never just a night out. It’s a promise. A memory you haven't made yet but already know by heart.
And if happiness feels a little reckless tonight, maybe that’s exactly the point. -

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
Caleb's eyes flew open, unfocused and wide. He didn’t see her. Not really.
"Bitte, Vater - nein… Ich kann das nicht -"
“Caleb.” Beau’s voice was sharp, low. She glanced toward the others - still asleep, gods willing. “You’re not there. You’re with us.”
He shook his head, still locked in the memory, eyes darting. “The fire - das Feuer - I didn’t - bitte, nicht - please, don’t make me -”
She gripped his shoulders, firm but steady. “Listen to me. You’re safe. You’re not in Rexxentrum. You’re in a freezing-ass cave with the dumbest group of powerful idiots in Wildemount, and no one’s going to hurt you.”OR
When Caleb falls ill on a perilous journey through the mountains, Beauregard and the others take care of him. But Caleb’s battle isn’t just against his sickness - it’s against the trauma that haunts him. In the midst of his struggle, Beau is forced to confront how far Caleb has yet to come in trusting his friends - and how much further she’s willing to go to make sure he does.

Summary
"Dear fellow traveller under the moon
I saw you standing in the shadows and your eyes were blue
You put your hand out, opened the door
You said, "Come with me, boy, I want to show you something more"You spoke my language and touched my limbs
It wasn't difficult to pull me from myself again
And in our travels, we found our roads
You held it like a mirror, showing me the life I choseAnd now we turn to my beautiful city
Black skies changed into blue
And my love is so wise and so pretty
But tonight I still dream of you"It has been a year since the Mighty Nein disbanded and Jester left to travel the seas with Fjord.
No longer so little, the blue tiefling is spending most of her days painting and trying to convince herself that the last year of her life was not a mistake.
She loves seeing the world, she loves painting the beauty around her, and she loves Fjord.
Right?Jester feels like something is missing, but she can’t figure out what it is.
Maybe Caleb can help her figure her future out?

Summary
It’s a sense of irony, Caleb thinks in a wild corner of his brain incapable of handling the guilt, that Molly has never demanded a secret from any of them. He has demanded some sense of companionship and teamwork, but he does not demand their truths. And now they are demanding his. Caleb sees Molly’s face flash with something wounded, and some part of his heart, small and usually so hidden – breaks.
