  4. Summary

    The October Daily Writing Themes on Tumblr sounded like a lot of fun so here we go!

    These fics will probably not be related to each other much at all. We're just writing whatever we're struck with. If some happy accident occurs, we'll let you know.

    Summary

    Essek is dead. The Dynasty has to know.
    -
    (Caleb is burning – but more than that he is light, dancing.)
    -
    (“No,” Essek says, sad and careful and quiet. “No, 'chev, it's not real.”)

    Summary

    Ludinus and Essek are two characters with a remarkable amount of parallels. Putting them in a room together has disastrous results.

    Summary

    Caleb moves closer into his space and holds his shivering arms tightly, and rubs some warmth into his shoulders. “Essek, you can feel it, can’t you?”
    Caleb noticed it as he left the cottage, once he consciously felt for the sensation. Or rather, a lack thereof. Typically, magic rushes around him like the wind itself, or an ambient scent, or music. It appeals to a different and entirely unnamable sense though, of course. He can feel it, touch it, and manipulate it. It is so constant that it becomes subconscious and beyond notice.
    “You can feel it, Essek. It is gone.”

    Peace is a precious thing, and a fragile thing too. When the unexpected finally strikes Essek's delicate new life, he and Caleb are left adrift and alone and very, very, vulnerable. What are two wizards without magic to do?

    Summary

    Being friends with the Mighty Nein is infuriating. They're loud and vulgar, and Essek has long since picked up the defense mechanism of smiling and laughing along to jokes he doesn't understand while he googles nasty words on urban dictionary under the table. It frustrates him though. Essek has never liked not knowing things, anything. When he confides that fact in Caleb his friend is all to quick to jump at the chance to offer Essek some...hands on lessons for anything he might not understand.

    Summary

    Sometimes when you're on the run, scared, lonely, and missing friends, desperate measures are called for. Or so Essek keeps telling himself, every time he shows up at Caleb's in a shape other than his own, that can come and go without questions.
