Summary
“Issa,” Leylas says. Deirta’s mouth tightens when Leylas calls her by her use-name; the name she had been given when they had been little grubs in the crèche together three centuries ago, children who had not yet known whose souls they carried in their bodies. “What is this about? Speak freely.”
Deirta takes a breath. “This one asks for Her Brilliance’s mercy upon the eldest of her children in this life, he who is named Essek of den Thelyss.”
The silence that falls is so absolute that it rings in Quana’s ears.

Summary
Deirta manufactures an image of domestic peace—her youngest child feigning sleep in her arms as she puts a book away—before the mob bursts into the library. Its circuitous, winding bookshelves buy her enough time for one last spell to modify Essek’s memory, sealing away his recollections of den Thelyss, of Verin and Taldia, of herself.
Verin is spirited out of Rosohna, leaving his younger brother behind, right before the Bright Queen orders den Thelyss to be razed to the ground. When Verin returns, he discovers that there is no one in Rosohna who bears the name Essek den Thelyss. There is only Essek den Kryn.

Summary
One regret Caleb was never able to resolve was that his life was so brief compared to Essek's.
But what if that wasn't the case anymore?
Maybe the Luxon priests don't know as much about how the beacons work as they think they do.

Summary
Caleb is 63 when he starts to forget. As hairline cracks form in his mind he realizes that perhaps the scars have taken their toll, and he has less time left than he expected. Essek feels him drifting away, but they know they must both face the fact that all things end. By the time it does, Caleb does not remember his own name.
Seventeen years later, a curious soul wakes up from a dream that they were once a wizard. As the shattered pieces of Caleb Widogast come back together once more he decides to seek out his past and find his favorite Dynasty heretic, all while recovering the things which made him who he was in his past life—his friends.
A story of how a keen mind breaks apart, and how it comes back together. A story of things lost—and found.

Summary
Essek's gaze is carefully blank as he leans in, closes the gap.
"…how did you hear of Azadrun’s Series?”
Caleb stops.
He really gives this some thought.
“Er…but it was you who taught me that,” he says, eventually. “During one of our sessions, yes? Where else could I have learned of such things?”
“You are asking me?” Essek snorts. “I certainly do not recall sharing it with you.”

Summary
Deirta Thelyss may not have been of den Kryn, but she was about as close as one could get without climbing back into the Luxon and trying again. She had been consecuted eight hundred years ago, and was nearly as old as Leylas herself, or so they say. The Light had shone upon her and granted her, finally, two children - her golden boy, Verin, and her silver moon child, Essek. Both she loved, in her own way - though, Essek mused as he traced the gilded lettering of his dinner invitation, it was a peculiar sort of love. He couldn’t help feeling there was something missing in the flinch behind his mother’s eyes when she looked at him, how she rose to the occasion in public but did everything she could to pretend he was a ghost behind closed doors.
The invitation was gilded in gold. I understand the hint, Mother.

Paralleling paragraphs cross works, true to chara voice, just.. soaked in sadness in just the right ways that u can feel in the words, but that aren’t too much, too dominating.
A tragic web, but so much gentle care, even some happy momentsAnd there is a fix-it, but I am hesitant to read it, cuz the rest is so beautifully sad with so many sad endings and the fix-it, yk, will probably fix it

Summary
“And so,” Eadwulf said, “ever since then, wizards must take care of their hearts, and never give it freely, for they risk the rebellion of their own magic and the curse of the Abyss.”
Silence fell over the gathered audience.
“Of course,” Caleb said, dryly, “you could see this story as a bit of propaganda to make the teenage wizards not go falling in love left and right. You know, focus on schoolwork or you’ll die.”
“Caleb, are you saying you’re in love and it’s killing you?!” Veth half-screamed.
There is so much more to live for than romantic love. After everything, Caleb Widogast chooses to live.Series
