Summary
"It’s a beautiful day at the Soltryce Academy—the sky is vibrant and the trees rustle with the gentlest of winds as Caleb begins his impromptu Transmutation lecture outside. From the building on the edge of the grounds he hears a muffled bell tolling for fifth period. Somewhere in the distance, a student begins to whistle.
At that moment, Caleb feels at peace.
At that moment, a Purple Worm bursts forth from the soil directly in front of him, and all of his plans for a pleasant afternoon are promptly dashed."
---
Caleb and Essek have finally settled down - more or less. While the beloved and somewhat eccentric Professor Widogast is busy inciting small student-scale riots and teaching tiny wizards morals, Essek spends his days lounging around the house, drinking wine and experimenting with the exotic concept of 'cooking his own meals'. They are pretty sure life is great - until two pre-teen assassins crash-land into the middle of the Soltryce Academy and demand the former Shadowhand be surrendered to their custody. What are the two internationally in/famous mages to do? The answer will shock absolutely no one. -

Summary
“I’m going to suggest something that you won’t like.”
Gavin grinds his teeth, “That’s how most of our conversations go, tin man.”
Snow begins falling, slowly. It collects on the tops of Connor shoulders, hides in the dark strands of his hairs. Balances delicately on his eyelashes as he stares at Gavin. He’s tall, resolute, unwavering.
OR
The one where Captain Fowler gives Gavin an ultimatum: He can go to therapy and figure his shit out or hand over his badge. It's just Gavin's luck that as soon as his stubborn ass gives in and goes to a session, his life spins out of control. Featuring: being forced to partner with Hank Anderson and Connor on a major case affecting humans and androids, family that he doesn't want to talk to, asshole FBI agents, a stray cat that won't leave him alone, fighting with Connor, worrying about Connor and maybe, sort of, a little bit liking Connor.
