Summary
A problem shaped like seven unexpected mercenaries carrying one of the priceless artifacts he stole arrives on Essek's doorstep, but he can handle it. Is handling it. Will be able to handle it, at some point, if he can figure out how to avoid them killing him first.
(Or: time looping your way into a new alignment, one catastrophic failure at a time.)

Summary
Sometimes Dead Gods still Dream. Sometimes Dead Gods don't stay Dead.
Sometimes a Dead God's greatest hope is a handful of broken souls bereft of love and purpose, lost in a world that has never cared to truly know them.It is the nature of Faith to believe in what Isn't, to believe in the Light that cannot yet be Seen.
The faith of a God is different. The faith of a God is to be given their Fangs.
In the wide world of Wildmount, some great thing outside of time and space owes the Mighty Nein a debt– weather they like it or not– and it intends to make good on it. Fate now converges upon a single, final timeline, with all of Exandria now caught in the crossfire.In which things happen a little out of order, family is both a choice and a ferocity, Gods are fussy creatures that absolutely play favorites, and Kings and Queens have nothing on a group of assorted lunatics that Really Don't Care About Your Pride, Thanks.
In which our intrepid heroes develop a pathological allergy to positive attention– which doesn't stop it from happening– things keep trying to kill them anyway, and the 'Mighty' part of the Mighty Nein is added much much later than you might think.

Summary
After Caleb and Essek have their first real fight, Beau offers Caleb a safe solo research trip. It seems like the perfect way to distract himself from a house and a life that seems bent on reminding him of what is absent. Only, it turns out the trip is neither solo nor safe, as one Seth Domade was also invited, and the sea caves they are researching are full of forgotten life.
Caleb has no idea what he is in for.

Summary
“All right, next stop, Cognouza!”
Leaving Catha behind, Essek turned to look out into the beautiful sight that was the Astral sea, looking for familiar constellations and what he saw next was Ruidius coming closer towards them.
Staring down at the red surface of Ruidius was an ocean. An entire crimson ocean, but within the red was a blip, it bubbled up and down in the ocean’s rough currents.
“I sense life down there”
“Caduceus! What did you mean by sensing life?”
“The wild mother whispered it to me”

Summary
A house of his own.
The thought slams into Caleb with the force of a sledgehammer, the enormity of it nearly knocking the breath out of him. It's over twice as large as the cottage where he'd spent his childhood—a kitchen separate from the dining room and the sitting room! Not one, but two bathrooms! And best of all, three whole bedrooms! Enough space for Caleb, his books, and whichever of his friends would deign to visit him. The height of luxury indeed. Back then, Bren’s parents could only afford one bedroom, and young Bren himself had slept in the loft. Frumpkin would curl up on the foot of Bren’s mattress, and he'd wake to the smell of breakfast, the early morning light in his eyes, the rafters brushing his hair when he got up.
Or so it had been once, an entire lifetime ago.
“Veth,” he says.
She looks up at him. Then she grins. “Isn't this exciting?”
“I think so,” Caleb says, a split second too late.

Summary
" Our timetable has shifted. I will notify you when we are to proceed."
Essek paused his pacing, feet clumsily connecting with the floor. Even through the anxious, angry rush of blood in his ears, the words of Ludinus Da'leth rang clear in his mind.
The Archmage of Civil Influence: Deposed. The Martinet: Missing in action. Shadowhand Essek Thelyss stands at a precipice, poised to lose everything he has desired for the last century, and prepared to give up anything to prevent this golden opportunity from slipping his grasp.
(or, what if Essek didn’t steal the beacon until after the Nein finished their adventures?)

Summary
Their first date happened by chance. The second is planned with hope and trepidation. By the third, they are both sure of one thing: running away from this would spell regret, even if the urge to do so keeps coming up the closer they grow together.
And that is before they stumble upon parts of each other's stories that neither of them is ready to bring to light.

Summary
Falsely accused of conducting espionage against the Dynasty on the orders of Trent Ikithon, Caleb is imprisoned in the Dungeon of Penance. The evidence against him is compelling, and it quickly becomes apparent that the distinction between "active scourger" and "almost scourger" will not be enough to save him. Caleb can only endure.
Caught between duty and friendship, Essek can do nothing to prevent Caleb from being tortured for information that he may not even possess. Essek can only watch, and hope that he has an opportunity to ease at least some of his friend's suffering.
Each chapter fills one of the daily prompts from the "April is the Cruellest Month" challenge.

Summary
“Oh!”
Fjord jerked up to the new voice, finding Molly leaning against the doorframe, his multi-colored coat wrapped tightly around his body. And nothing else, if the view of his bare legs meant anything. “I didn’t realize you were, uh. Out here.”
Fjord stared at Molly for a long moment, trying to process what he had just seen. Molly looked sheepish, a little flustered if the darker purple on his cheeks meant anything. His tail was down by his ankles, curling loosely around his left one. His arms were tight around his torso, holding his coat shut, and his red eyes were flicking nervously over Fjord, then down the hall where Caleb had gone.
Suddenly, a lot of things started to make more sense. Like Molly not going to a different room anymore. He’d rather run the risk of dealing with him over Nott any day.
Fjord doing his best when his roommate happens to be Mollymauk Tealeaf. And all that entails.

Summary
A shaking lavender hand placed two leather mitts on the corner of the table. Their presence had Caleb rapidly reevaluating what he expected of the rest of his afternoon. The mitts were originally designed for boxing and the supple fingerless gloves braced against bulky pads were perfect for absorbing hits. They were also ideal for painlessly immobilizing a mage’s hands. Beau had not asked why he wanted them; she knew he had no interest in boxing.
Normally, Caleb was the one who feared his own power and desired it taken from him, just for a little while. Essek enjoyed control. Rarely, he liked it taken from him and kept safe, until he was ready to reclaim it.

Summary
He had it. Everything Caleb has longed for since the moment he stumbled through the pine woods outside the sanatorium, sunlight burning his eyes and blood on shaking hands that barely felt like his own. That fairytale he told himself, again and again, every time he wanted to lie down and never get up again.
The chance to give his parents back the life he stole from them, control over his past, control over time itself.
Everything he wanted was within his grasp, and he let it go. He let it all go.
