Summary
There is a gravity that has pulled them together many times. It pulled Caleb’s lips to Essek’s forehead, and Essek’s hands to Caleb’s arms when a tower collapsed upon him. It pulled Caleb to Eiselcross, now, to be at Essek’s side as his life as the Shadowhand dies.
Now, it could pull them together into Aeor.
(Two wizards venture into Aeor - and find that something has woken in the dead city's depths. Something dangerous. Something that will force them to decide what their pasts mean to them, and what they mean to each other.)

Simon didn’t expect his savior to be exactly his type.
What a welcome sight. Even if this stupidly handsome man ends up being evil, or working for the C.O.I, at least he’d die looking at something good.
or
Grace and Rocky find Simon's ship floating in deep space on their way to Erid.
UPDATE: This fic has been peer reviewed by a NASA engineer who has approved of the science!

Summary
“This okay?” Simon muttered, the vibrations from his words rippling across Grace’s stomach.
“Yes… yes I just…” Grace struggled to catch his breath. “This was not how I was expecting tonight to go.”
Simon paused his kisses. “How did you see this going?”
“I don’t know. We would… talk about it?”
“Do you want to talk instead?”
Grace couldn’t even remember what he wanted to say. Actually, there were no words that described what he wanted. “No. No, keep going.”

Summary
It has been a long time, but the shadow that crosses Essek’s face is no longer unfamiliar to Caleb. He thinks he can place it now that he has seen it so often—it looks very much like guilt.
“I am happy here,” Essek says. “How could I not be?”
For some reason, the assertion is thrown at Caleb with more force than is called for.
Who is Essek really trying to convince: Caleb, or himself?

Summary
"I regret that I can't be here with you more," Essek began, talking firmly over Caleb's automatic protests, "and I know that as much as our arrangement is … acceptable, in the Empire, I feel as though we have held ourselves constrained by standards that are not our own." He hesitated for a moment and pulled back, so that he could meet Caleb's eyes. Caleb nodded for him to continue. "I talked to the archmage. Astrid."
Essek knows that Caleb doesn't like to sleep alone.

Summary
After the trial of Trent Ikithon, Caleb is ambushed and tries to hide in Eiselcross. However, he misses his mark, and needs Essek's help to find the outpost before he either bleeds out or freezes to death.
From this prompt: "Caleb teleports to Essek in Eiselcross in a last ditch effort to get away from danger, but misses. He sends to Essek to warn him, and Essek has to repeatedly send to a freezing and disoriented Caleb trying to get him to take off his anti-scry necklace so he can find him to teleport to him."

Summary
Trancing seems impossible tonight. Usually he has no problems with it, a quick four hour trance and he is well-rested and ready for a new day.
These days he has taken to going to bed at the same time as Caleb, meditating next to him as the human falls asleep, waking in the early morning to read beside him (or, if he was being honest: to stare at the other wizard, studying his sleeping face and features for hours).

Summary
“Essek.”
And he’s trying to look stern, Essek can tell, but there’s a smile at the corner of his mouth, like he’s only barely keeping it together, and Light above, this is the exactly the kind of thing that makes him want to kiss Caleb Widogast until neither of them can breathe.
He raises his eyebrows, trying for his best Dynasty smirk. “Yes?”
“You are terrible.”
“Mm,” Essek agrees, “Absolutely diabolical.”
(or, Beauregard's study habits become Essek's, Caleb is vulnerable to affection damage, and Essek gets more than he bargained for.)
