  3. Summary

    A monster of a series, written largely to indulge my love of history, daemons, and the entire concept of UNCLE. Works will go up I finish their chapters, which is going to make reading difficult. I'll try not to put the horse before the cart too often. You can check the guide in the notes for more information if you want to attempt to read this in chronological order.

    Summary

    “Oh, ah. Hallo.”

    Essek startles so badly he drops his levitation. He whips around, a hand thrown reflexively out to defend himself, a spell ready on his lips. He has to blink. And blink again. But no, he is not imagining this. Here is Caleb Widogast in the flesh, standing in Jester and Fjord's sitting room.

    “Hello,” Essek manages, his throat very dry.

    [Or: Four times Dynasty fugitive Essek Thelyss sought refuge with Jester Lavorre, and one time he found Caleb Widogast instead.]

    Summary

    “What’s it like?”

    “What is what like?” Caleb looks up from his book.

    “Being bitten.”

    Caleb scrunches his face up in confusion.

    “By Essek.”

    Summary

    I don’t know if I can protect all of you, he thinks, not for the first time – and it terrifies him and it enrages him.

    This is what happens, Essek supposes, when you end up caring for people.

    (In which the Mighty Nein come to Rosohna, carrying a dead Assembly member and a death mark from the Empire - and asking for Essek's protection.)

    Summary

    “You have been a thorn in my side for too long,” Trent snapped. He raised his hand.

    Caleb countered immediately, but then Wulf countered him. The spell landed.

    Essek fell back, a shriek caught in his throat.

    ---

    During the final fight, Trent lands a particularly nasty spell on Essek.

    Summary

    Caleb gets a rare evening of privacy, and takes advantage of it - unbeknownst to him, he isn't doing a very good job keeping his thoughts to himself.

    (Like in my most recent work, NC tag because Caleb doesn't know he's sending his thoughts out and Essek didn't ask for them, so it's tagged NC just to be safe).
    (Unlike in that one, it is not immediately resolved, so if that's an issue, wait for the next bit).
