Summary
King leaned in a bit, conspiratorially. “So what’d you do? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m so incredibly behind on the gossip in these parts...”
If King didn’t find out what Fjord had done directly from him, he’d probably get one of the girls to tell him anyway. Fjord weighed the merits of letting that happen. He’d been sort of getting the impression that Kingsley respected him, so far. If he was going to lose that, it might as well be his own doing.
“I killed Caleb.”
“Hm? What?”
“I killed Caleb.”

Summary
Essek touched his lips again, unable to stifle the smile that had been visiting like a shy bird since last night. Light, he’d kissed him. And Caleb had assured him they’d see each other again tonight– said he wouldn’t miss it for the world– and looked at him like maybe he didn’t want to return to his hectic professor life for the spring semester, like maybe...

Summary
Caleb had been crying.
This shocked speech onto Essek's tongue. "What…?" Unthinking, unplanning, he reached out and found himself cupping the side of Caleb's face. He leaned into the touch, and looked at him with eyes too openly fond for the unspoken thing between them.
"Essek, can I, can I kiss you?"

Summary
Essek extended an arm in invitation and caught Caleb’s eye. No turning back now. “Would you like to, um, perhaps-” Light, this was difficult, “Come here? I am warm.”
Caleb looked at him with surprise morphing into longing, teetering on the cliff’s edge of decision. Essek watched the shift in the set of his jaw as he settled.
“Ah. D-danke. No.”
“No?”

Summary
Essek is lucky to be alive.
It can be hard to believe, with the scars he now bears. The Mighty Nein turned on him at the close of the war, and he barely escaped with his life. He defied fate to be here.
At least, that is what Ludinus Da'leth told him, when he offered Essek shelter in exchange for his particular expertise. Essek's own recollection is—
Fraught.

Summary
It has been two months, three weeks, four days, and nine hours since he saw him last. Sending helps, but it doesn’t quite do him justice.
Twenty-five words parcelled out in moments. In energy saved just in case. In beats and fragments that just left him wanting more.
It pales to the vision of Essek whole, though he is still unsure if he is hale.

Summary
She’s not angry, she’s not afraid. This is just - this is just a thing she needs to do. Too much energy, too much twitchiness, why does it matter if her knuckles are bleeding if this will make her brain stay still for just a moment more.
(Beau has bipolar. She also has some very good friends.)

Summary
Essek is trying to figure out how to atone for what he has done and forgets to take care of himself. Beau was intending to give a shovel talk, but ends up intervening.
“Well, we could use your help when you’re available. Ideally soon. Caleb said you were coming to visit anyway and you’re welcome to stay with him.”
He twitched, a little ear flick. It just confirmed my suspicions.
His voice was apologetic, but firm: “Could I have a few days? I have another commitment imminently, but then I am happy to help.”
More secrets. Great. I leaned forward, making a show of my scrutiny. “What kind of commitment are we talking?”
His ears flicked down. I was frustrating him. “If you must know, I agreed to help a family with their taxes.”
That was not anywhere on the list of things I expected him to say. “I’m sorry, what?”
