Summary
In the handful of months that have gone of Essek's first semester at Tidepeak University he's managed to create quite the reputation for himself. His perfect score at the entrance exam already offering some aid in that, plus the perk of rooming by himself in the dorms.
That is until a human man by the name Caleb Widogast seems intent to slot himself into his otherwise mostly solitary world. If not for his intelligence and talent Essek would have outright refused- or is it perhaps the warmth, openness and complexity that makes him want to keep Caleb around?

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
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.

Summary
Essek waited too long to tell the Mighty Nein about his disability, of course. Part of him relished the simplicity of having friends who didn't know, who didn't look at him that way or jump to help him or stumble over their wording choices. He was just Essek, who floated everywhere because that was what Essek did.

Summary
Caleb needed to fidget. Molly knew this. It was impossible not to notice, as Caleb was a heavy thinker and seemed to need something to do with his hands while he did it. It was fine when he was at a desk scribbling notes down or working on sigils and equations, but when he was simply reading or deep in thought his hands wandered for lack of anything to occupy them.
This proves to be Molly's downfall.
(tl;dr, Caleb unthinkingly grabs Molly's tail to fidget with and it gets very sexy from there.)
