Summary
Seth Domade had many good qualities. He was human and, as such, could traverse Rexxentrum with ease. He had some unremarkable magical capabilities, so it was not odd that he might, say, use Comprehend Languages to read a book or cast Prestidigitation to clean the muck from his boots.
Seth Domade, however, was not a powerful wizard. He did not wield spells that could disrupt the gravity of an entire street or send his attackers flying into a wall. Seth Domade was a quiet, unassuming man. He spent most of his days editing volumes in the Cobalt Soul’s library, and he looked the part.
Around the time the silence manacles clapped around his wrists, Essek realized he should have dropped the facade of Seth Domade earlier.(Updates ~Tues/Thurs until done, detailed warnings on first chapter)

Summary
The forces of Eiselcross and Aeor were not ones of kindness. A breeding ground for mutated beasts and unpredictable magical elements. Each day Essek and Caleb were reminded of the risks this continent offered them.
But Caleb could tell that this discovery was a different kind of obstacle. It felt dangerous, yes. But despite that, their presence here did not feel like a threat. In fact, they almost felt familiar. Because above all else, this person before them looked sincere. His hands were still poised in front of him, indicating that he meant no harm.
The giant face however, which was now scowling, was the farthest thing from trustworthy.
_____
During their journey, Caleb and Essek stumble upon an immense magical power, and the two men who now wield it. (Crossfic with Arcane!)

Summary
Outside of the tower, a young man was sold
A promise of a new life, one where he would never be cold
Outside of the tower, a young man fled
Powerless and broken, the young man had bledHigh up in the tower, a young man lay,
Wishing he could escape, to live yet another day
But High up in the tower, the doors did soon close
For the young man's tale was to be full of woes.Falling out the tower, did a young man lay
Thankful of the time he could get away.
Underneath the tower, the young man died
Wishing of a life to not be terrified.OR
The life and death, life and death, and life of a tiefling who just wanted to feel safe. And the man who ended up relearning about them in all three lifetimes

Summary
Lucien regards Essek. “You know I steal things for a living, don’t you? You know I’ve got a few dead men to my name, too?”
“I am aware of these facts, Mr. Tavelle. I considered them to be among your highest qualifications for this job.”
“And yet you came here alone?”
“...Yes?”
Lucien digests this. “Okaaay. Well, how’s the pay?”
“200 gold."
Lucien bursts out laughing. “Nope! Nope. Absolutely not. Do you think I was born last night?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Lemme get this straight.” Lucien leans forward, staring Essek down. “You’re telling me you came to a distant kingdom, arranged to meet a known criminal in a bathhouse, and thought nothing of stripping nude for a parley—but now you’re telling me that you need protection for your meeting with some spook? You’re dangerous enough on your own, my friend. If you’re in the market for a merc, it’s because you are about to walk into some fucked up, unsound, insane shit—and I’m not getting flayed alive and broken on the rack for 200 gold. For 500 gold? Sure, fine, that’ll get you some light flaying, maybe a turn or two on the rack—but not for 200.”
Essek sighs. “Do you prefer it in gold or platinum?”

Summary
What if there had been someone else there when the Nein found Lucien in Eisselcross, someone who could see more than they should, someone who knew what it was like to always be on the outside looking in? This is a retelling of the story we all know with one little change added in, and that change's name is Namila Bagheri. Together with our favorite grumpy dirt wizard, she will try to see through the masks and the lies that Lucien uses as armor against a world he has long since learned not to trust. Will they be able to change his fate? Will they be able to reclaim the friend they went to Foren to find? Only time will tell.
An AU retelling of the final arc of Campaign 2 as I think it would go if there was someone there to counter the anger and distrust the Nein feel and show when they first meet the Tombtakers in the ruins of A5. Chapter One will be a character sheet of sorts for Namila so you can get a sense of what she's like. Do you think she'll make a difference? Come read along and find out!

Summary
Ever since the Sour Nest, Caleb has been invisible. When his search for an explanation in Zadash yields no answers, he and the rest of the Mighty Nein continue on regardless. Fortunately, there is one person who can see and hear him: Molly, who can also join Caleb in the space of invisibility if he so chooses.
When Avantika turns out to be just a little bit more unhinged and a little bit more trigger happy than expected, Molly and Caleb decide to stow away in the Squalleater’s hold to support their friends in secret. Their nightly sharing of a small, makeshift bed is complicated by the feelings they are each slowly developing for each other.
Although Caleb and Molly have found a personal oasis, the relationship between Avantika and the rest of the Mighty Nein is growing ever-more turbulent. Will Caleb and Molly be able to work out their feelings for each other, save their friends — and when the unthinkable happens and Uk’otoa is freed, save the ocean itself?

Summary
The fact that six mercenaries and a weasel have stowed away on the highest-security vessel in the Dynasty’s fleet is, technically, a serious problem that bodes poorly for the rest of their journey. But Essek is delighted. He’d been dreading a long and tense voyage to Mutalos, without any company except for a skeleton crew comprised mostly of military personnel, the awkward spare scourger, and his—
It feels strange, to think of Becke as his wife. Even calling her his enemy feels too intimate.
(In which Essek agrees to a political marriage to ensure intergalactic peace and keep himself alive, only to discover that his wife has married him for exactly the opposite reason.)

As Queen Marion Lavorre plans to abdicate in favor of her heir, Princess Jester, some changes are made at the Ruby Court of Nicodranas. The princess has selected her own council, and even her own ambassadors from neighboring realms. Caleb didn't expect Jester to request his former lover, Essek Thelyss. After his expulsion from Nicodranas for his involvement in the Ashlight Plot, it was assumed Essek would remain in Xhorhas.

Between the abdication and royal intrigues, Caleb does not have time to worry about his former lover. However, he finds himself incapable of doing anything else. Something is wrong at the Ruby Court, and Essek may be the only key to stop it. But can they work together with so much bad blood between them? Or will the healing of old wounds allow something new to flourish?

Summary
"You are mad," Essek muttered, nevertheless happily running his hands up the simulacrum's body. He glanced over at Caleb, as if to reassure himself he was still there—they exchanged brief smiles, Essek's face radiant—and then jerked his head back as the simulacrum started to kiss his neck. "Mad and maddening."
Caleb has been working on a new spell. Essek finds out.
