    Summary

    'Changing is hard. For most of us, it happens little by little in in the smallest moments and we don’t notice it, we don’t choose it. But looking yourself in the face and deciding to be different – that is hard. You are unpicking threads of who you are that were put in place more than a century ago.'

    (A collection of Essek-centric oneshots, following a hypothetical redemption journey post-Episode 97. Features Shadowgast and Essek's platonic relationships with the Nein. The fics are arranged in rough chronological order and are loosely interconnected, but they can all be read individually. This series was written during the 2020 hiatus, so is not canon compliant beyond episode 100.)

    Summary

    Essek Thelyss comes to Soltryce to deliver guest lectures and, on the side, cultivate the brand new Archmage of Domestic Protections. He’s hoping that Caleb Widogast will oblige him by picking up his predecessor’s interest in conspiring to steal Luxon beacons, after so rudely murdering Da’leth mere weeks before the culmination of their schemes.

    Essek is prepared for espionage. He is not prepared to find a love that will change the course of his life.

    Summary

    “Cody,” the cadet interrupts, and for a second Ordo thinks it’s another botched attempt at Mando’a. “You couldn’t keep your eyes off me,” Cody continues. “Angling for a tumble with a redshirt?”

    Ordo gapes for a second at Cody’s brazenness.

    “I don’t fuck brothers,” Ordo spits. He’s heard about the rank and file fucking each other, but he expected shame and secrecy, not a proud announcement that he was a brotherfucker.
