Summary
When Bren murdered his parents, he broke.
When he found out that they were never traitors, something deep within him, something primal and arcane, snapped like an overstrung violin string, sharp, dissonant, and echoing throughout his body in strange vibrations.
One moment he was curled up on the cold tile floor of the Vergesson Sanatorium, the next Bren was in a strange field of what might have been wheat, flowing in the light breeze. After telling a strange purple satyr a fake name, he became Caleb Widogast and was thrust into a world heavy with magic, full of fae, and enough support to start to overcome his past.

Summary
Caleb wakes up on Rumblecusp with no memories of who he is or how he got there. The people around him seem to care for him greatly, and he wants to do his best to help them, even when they fail to return his memories with their divine magic.
Many things are confusing, but none more so than what appears to be his personal journal, written in a cipher he can no longer remember. Perhaps the handsome drow his friends brought him to in Rosohna may be of help.

Summary
For many, college is a chance to restart and make yourself the person you want to be. You can rebuild yourself and start anew. That was exactly what these 8 planned to do.
AKA, I'm doing a college AU. Read it if you like angst, domestic fluff, found family, and more! I'll focus a lot on Caleb in this, but other characters have planned arcs and will get their time to shine.

Summary
"Bren and Wulf stood there, helpless. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. They were just boys after all, how were they supposed to comfort a girl? Let alone one as powerful as her?
Still turned towards the hearth, she spoke. Her voice was back to the controlled Astrid they knew, the determined one. The leader.
“There is something you can do. Both of you.”
Without making eye contact, she made her way over to the foot of the bed. She turned to face them, the rage in her eyes tempered into resolve. She swallowed, and took a breath.
“Come.” Her voice was as quiet and unwavering as all the times before.
Bren’s body froze. But, his mind started running.
It wouldn’t be like the other times. They could see each other now. Was it acceptable for them to do such things in the light, no matter how dim? When they weren’t doing it to survive?"
...
When the trio is locked up in a chilly cell during "training", they strip and cuddle to conserve body heat. It's normal to do it when they need to survive, but what will they do when Astrid asks them to do the same for her after a bad day?

Summary
Floor nine of the Sehanine Building at Rexxentrum Academy is where the school houses anyone they don't quite know what to do with. Anyone who marked down anything but "male" or "female" on their surveys, anyone who has a tumultuous past, anyone they might want to keep an eye on. Caleb and Molly start out a tenuous friendship as neighbors on floor nine, neither aware of the colorful dreams the other shares with them each night.
But it's probably just a coincidence that Caleb dreams of a purple haired, horned creature that looks a lot like Mollymauk. And that Molly dreams of a boy consumed by flames. Right?

Summary
Caleb has a plethora of uses for polymorph outside of combat. Sometimes he uses it to avoid things he can’t face; sometimes he uses it to face things he can’t avoid; and sometimes, just sometimes, he uses it to go a little apeshit.
Or, five times Caleb used polymorph to get around his problems, and one time he used it to solve them.

Summary
After Aeor, Caleb buys a house in Rexxentrum with Beau and Yasha. For the first time in more than seventeen years, he has some semblance of stability. Caleb is not sure he's ready to handle it, but he's trying, and his friends are eager to see him live a good life, by force if necessary.
And then Soltryce Academy approaches him with a job offer, which could give Caleb the chance to protect the next generation of wizards the way he had needed at their age. Caleb's goal of preventing what happened to him from happening to anyone else, however, takes a far more personal turn than even he could have anticipated.

Summary
“What are you waiting for, Herr Thelyss?” Bren rasped thickly, his eyes hooded, head tipped back invitingly. “You seem to know what you’re after.”
A light huff of breath tickled his throat, a smile teasing over his pulse, tongue flashing out to taste and setting off sparks at the base of his skull. Essek's lips pulled into a smirk, and Bren felt more than heard a short phrase murmured against his skin, his stomach flipping as gravity suddenly, predictably, upended itself.

Summary
"Dear Essek,
...in the continued spirit of honesty, I have no idea what I would have done if I had seen you before you read this letter and learned of my arrival. Tell me, though: is it strange to be searching for somebody that you have never met?"They say the crumbling town on the island of Rumblecusp had a name once, but the signage was washed out to sea years ago. Caleb Widogast—healthy, healing, and currently a little directionless—only wants to know why nobody in this strange town seems to have heard of Essek Thelyss—arrogant, arcanist, and the man Caleb is half in love with—especially seeing as he's been living there for years.

Summary
Still, it was funny to him - really, it was! - that everyone at the academy, especially his students, had come to the conclusion that he, somehow, had mad game.
Maybe he is really good in bed, uttered, quietly, by one of his Advanced Transmutation students, as they waited with their friends on the hallways outside of his office. Maybe, had squeaked one of the shyer boys in his class, he is dating all of them. You know. That’s a thing.
——
The mystery of Professor Widogast, and his various romantic escapades.

---
At the narrow desk before him, at the centre of the room, sat Essek, straight backed and hands steepled, his form swallowed by the heaps of books and maps about him. His eyes were dark, rimmed with rings of exhaustion, his appearance unusually messy, the traces of finger tracks still visible through his hair.
"Hey," Caleb attempted to sound casual. //You sound like a dunce.//

Summary
In. Out. In. Out.
He keeps his eyes fixed on the moving ribcage. There’s a heart there, tucked safely under the flesh and bones, with which Caleb has chosen to leave his own.
Inhale. Exhale.
He needs the reminder.
Essek is still breathing.
