    Summary

    But, forgive me, I have gone off on a tangent: this account is for retelling the events of our expedition, not for musing upon personal matters. It will not happen again.

    __

    Essek attempts to keep a professional journal of the progress made on his and Caleb's Aeor field trip, but as the days go by, he finds himself writing a lot more about his colleague (and his feelings for said colleague) than their work.

    Summary

    He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
    A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
    The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.

    Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

    Summary

    Theft, public mischief, destruction of property, vandalism, trespassing, more theft, and some extortion to tie it all together. Beau thought she had quite the impressive rap sheet for a 20-year-old winemaker's daughter.

    Of her original 1,000 court-ordered hours of community service, only 100 hours remain when a new offender begins attending the program: a tall, brooding woman with a mane of black-and-white hair. There is something about her that pulls like a gravitational force, and Beau finds herself being drawn into orbit.

    Summary

    Beau looks into a too-familiar face as the thing puppeting the body of a dead friend lifts her up by the throat, and when the darkness comes along with the pain, it feels as if she’s looking into the lightless abyss at the end of the world.

    -

    Aeor looms before the Mighty Nein. There are still some conversations Beau needs to have.

    Summary

    Brunnera supposed this was a tryst of sorts. That he was in need of misdirection and shielding from prying eyes. How strangely fitting considering who among the Nein had loved the Moonweaver. Brunnera sent a silent prayer to Sehanine and to whatever shard of soul that had been the real Mollymauk Tealeaf, begging both for a bit of luck and protection. To turn Lucien’s eyes away for the time being...

    Summary

    In an alternate timeline, Essek is a part of the party of Dynasty explorers that the Tombtakers overtook and killed in A5, and they take him prisoner. Beaten, battered, and in chains, he's certain he's going to die very soon, until he hears the familiar voices of the people he's not sure he can still call his friends.

    Later, in the nein-sided tower, an utterly exhausted Essek tries to reconcile with how badly he needs the Mighty Nein's help – Caleb's in particular.
