[shadowgast-recs-weekly]

This week, we have eleven fics that feature Caleb, Essek, and at least one other person involved! Look behind the cut for some Shadowidomauk, some Blumenshadow, some Fjord/Essek/Caleb and more!

amongst the things left unforgiven by nonwal (63958, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

“In which a pair of scourgers shows up at Essek’s doorstep and saves him from himself.“ Slow-burn blumenshadow featuring heavy mistrust, mind games that aren’t mind games, and Caleb mostly in the background thinking he doesn’t deserve to be loved.

Reccer says: One of my all time faves. Nonwal’s gorgeous prose and characterization of these 4 is always top notch, but the dialogue?! The spy vs. spy mind games? The poetic descriptions of longing and grief? The visceral feeling of constant low-level panic punctuated by a full panic attack and maybe developing a crush on your current crush’s evil exes? The DIALOGUE (again)?!?! Absolutely stunning. Side note: chapter 4 features the best Jester dialogue I have ever read. The tag “openly declaring your mutual distrust can be a love language if you do it right” says so much and I love it.

Happily Ever Laughter by Settiai (1288, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: Veth’s alcoholism is brought up a few times but isn’t the focus.

Adorable Essek/Caleb/Veth/Yeza slice of life fic. Polyamory is not nearly as difficult as trying to teach a hyperactive 6 year old magic can be.

Reccer says: Incredibly sweet little domestic fic. The rapport between them is so soft and gentle and well-worn like the most comfortable pair of old house slippers. The moments where Yeza and Caleb glance at each other and manage to communicate in absolute silence (in that pseudo-telepathic way that some real parenting couples often do) are just so perfect, and Veth still finding Essek somewhat aggravating even while she loves him is :chefskiss: delightful.

Three’s Company by flammablehat (2074, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb, Essek, and Fjord have a threesome, and Essek is maybe more than a little jealous about it.

Reccer says: Possessek is always a favorite! Fjord is fjeisty, and Caleb is having the time of his life. It’s both hot and tense.

altogether, infinite possibilities by ivelostmyspectacles (199305, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek has barely begun to cement his place in Caleb’s life when they bring Mollymauk Tealeaf back from the dead. Slowly, the three of them adapt together.

Reccer says: First part of a series! This was my entry point into Shadowgast!

in the pieces of what's left or what we've found by SeaWitchDreams (14620, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Astrid takes some time to figure out how she wants to rebuild her life (and who she wants to rebuild it with.)

Reccer says: a wonderfully subtle and contemplative character study, featuring four wizards carefully dancing around each other

the sea, the stars, the dreamers by nonwal (111996, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: suicidal ideation

Essek sacrifices his budding relationship with Caleb to marry Archmage Astrid Beck - for the good of the entire galaxy. But whatever Astrid's reason for marrying him is, is not nearly as noble.

Reccer says: This fic takes an unusual premise (Blumenshadow arranged marriage spaceship murder mystery with sea shanties?) and *commits* to it. Still incomplete, but if you've liked this author's other works, you won't regret taking a chance on this one.

(Oh,) How a Human Burns by witches_chant (18318, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

This is a story about Essek trying to prepare for eventual loss, depending on if Caleb wants to use the Clone spell or not. But it’s also a story about a lazy, sexy vacation on Rumblecusp where the couple stumble upon a service top and learn things about their relationship (with a happy ending!).

Reccer says: It’s both hot as hell AND feelsy! It’s a really interesting take on Caleb & Essek’s relationship. Honestly I recommend the entire series.

Victim of Convenience by se1ze (54243, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek and Caleb are together, Essek and Kingsley get together, and Kingsley is losing his mind because Caleb can’t get his shit together. An exploration of the very complicated feelings that crop up when a) no one seems to understand who you are, and b) someone you love thinks they need to stay gone for your own good.

Reccer says: The dialogue is fantastic, the sex is wonderful, and the hurt/comfort is amazing. It establishes the foundation upon which Essek/Kingsley can be a thing in a way that is both endearing and completely believable. Caleb is oblivious to how much Kingsley loves him, and once again hurts those around him by throwing himself on his sword.

(nothing in my bones can say) just where you’ve been by SaltCore (8216, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

It takes more time than Caleb realized to get home from the Hellcatch Valley, and in his absence, Essek’s tentative alliance with Astrid and Eadwulf has grown to something more.

Reccer says: Soft and complicated and briefly heartbreaking. The way it manages to feel like an outsider POV reinforces the sense of missing time, of having missed a massive change, and the softness and warmth of everyone’s love for each other is palpable throughout even in the most tense and anxious of moments.

i'll meet judgement by the hounds by necromanticomedy (yelenavasilyevna) (6553, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: Dubcon/Consensual Non Consent, knifeplay

Astrid and Eadwulf come to a dinner party to meet Essek Thelyss. Things either go very poorly or very well, depending on your definitions.

Reccer says: the author called it a "insane psychosexual foursome" but neglected to mention that it's the best insane psychosexual foursome you'll ever read

To The Bone by thetickingclock (2919, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Snapshots of Astrid and Eadwulf's opinion of Essek changing over time (and proximity to Caleb Widogast.)

Reccer says: Hits all my favorite notes when it comes to Blumenshadow, and there's an astounding amount of characterization and relationship development packed into less than 3k words.

Tag game from @flammablehat, thank you very much, darling!

Rules: List the first lines of the last ten (10) stories you published.   Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any. Then tag some friends.

And I’m just going to tag anyone who’s in the mood and is in the mood to analyze some of their own writing!

1. Johnny taps on the door pretty soon after everything quiets down. (all some children do is work, Killjoys, gen, 3k)

2. yo I’m in spain hear you are too hit me up if you want (if you could redirect my day, Ted Lasso, Roy/Jamie/Keeley, 11k)

3. “He loves her. The Marshal.” (Some Place Better Than Where You’ve Been, Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot(& Team), 4k)

4. In the city of Tyne, there are two pots of spaghetti sauce simmering on stovetops. (a phenomenon no one can explain, The Campaign of Five Dragons, Valira/Haoti, 18k)

5. “We can’t really get married,” Parker says one night, and is really sorry she can’t see Hardison’s face in the dark, because he definitely drops something. (and we’ll take it slow, Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot, 600)

6. “We need a dog.” (we would stay away from crowds, Leverage, Parker/Hardison/Eliot, 300)

7. She has, in the fifty years and more she has been building her position here, heard of the Fairy of the Border Tower. (waiting for the world to turn once more, Sleeping Beauty, gen, 3k)

8. Most days, Phi meets Quil at the ship’s rail in the morning, when the sailors on the night shift are yawning their way to their hammocks and the rest are eating in the galley, arguing over who is taking which post for the day, drinking weaker coffee the farther they get from any ports that have any to sell them. (You Feel Just Like the Sun, The Campaign of Five Dragons, Quil/Phi/Terry, 45k)

9. Calla left confusion in her wake. (what a tale my thoughts could tell, The Games We Played During the War, Calla/Valk, 6k)

10. Someday Dutch is going to buy a spaceship that likes her best. (Lead Me To Your Door, Killjoys, Dutch & John, 5k)

I definitely have some patterns! Four of these start with dialogue, which actually feels low to me, I feel like throwing the reader into the middle of a conversation is a technique I tend to use a lot (though I do tend to use it more in shorter stories, I think that happens in a lot of ficlet rounds when I do those).

Other than that, I enjoy declarative statements that make sense to the narrator if not to the reader and/or statements that quickly establish a status quo so that I can promptly mess with that status quo.

All of which are fairly common writing techniques for beginnings, I think, so probably nothing terribly special or unexpected, but it is very fun to go through and see what I’ve been starting stories with for the last while!

[brainstatic]

re: being calm about this election, i kind of feel the same way, but i'm not sure what to make of what's likely to happen after? probably we can count on some degree of violence on the public scale, but what happens if he just decides he won't accept the results? does he have the means - with the people who've been enabling him all this time - to continue running roughshod over the 'rules'? like he has been? is it alarmist to be genuinely concerned the election won't matter either way?

He doesn’t get to decide whether or not he leaves office. He doesn’t really break rules so much as he breaks norms, and support for him has limits. When he floated delaying the election McConnell shut him down within a day.

Summary: Merlin may have let slip that he used to be a male stripper.

Comment: This story was amusing and hot towards the end. I liked how desperate Arthur was to know about Merlin’s unusual past, and what we learnt from a reluctant Merlin!

[merlinfanficquotes]

Arthur was a gentleman. Arthur was a friend. Arthur would cast him out if he knew... But then again he might not — he might be kind, he might be forgiving. Merlin had thought it all before, reserving the question of whether Arthur, still a bachelor at his age, and with so many fine prospects, might prefer to be alone. That, like Merlin, the risk of what he truly wanted might be too great to gamble the sweetness of an otherwise complete life. That, like Merlin, at night he might imagine hands on his body, a mouth over his own, familiar and fond. That, like Merlin, he might wonder what the weight of mutual desire felt like, pressed tight to his back and breathing hot in his ear.

Sometimes you just want to get to the point. Twenty-four recs under the cut - comment and kudos if you like them!

Series of one-shots: Essek takes his due payments from Caleb for the favours he did for the Might Nein and uses the opportunity to run some experiments.

Reccer says: If you like your Essek woobification-free, and especially if you like possessek (possessive Essek), this is a real treat!

Caught In Your Undertow by MoonwalkingCrab (13647, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Set in a vague alternate timeline after episode 107, Caleb is lost in his thoughts on a quiet evening when Essek comes to visit.

Reccer says: Is there anything better than porn with feelings? Because it is very porn and there are many feelings.

A Favor In Kind by literalfuckinggarbage (4208, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Yussa spends an evening in Widogast's Nascent Nein Sided Tower alongside Essek, and they discuss with Caleb the repayment of favors.

Reccer says: Caleb deserves to get got by two powerful elven mages at one time! Representation of a trans man who’s had the full package done

Somewhere Only We Know by DotyTakeThisDown (3803, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb and Essek, now married, meet in a demiplane created just for them.

Reccer says: It’s sweet, hot, and optimistic, just lovely really!

a hearth to your hold by renquise (5538, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek had been gone a while. The two are happy to be reunited and have sex about it.

Reccer says: It has so many feelings packed in to wonderful porn! So tender! and A+ use of mage hand, of course

put your sweet lips on my lips by LadyOrpheus (15750, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: Omegaverse

Heat fic without the alpha/omega aspect, just good old drow biology

Reccer says: Very interesting take on heat fic. Also extremely sexy.

where's the point in hurrying (when waiting feels so great) by mllekurtz (4438, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

"You weren’t paying attention." That was Essek’s justification, delivered in a perfectly even and reasonable tone, when he entered Caleb’s study for the second time that evening, wearing nothing but jewellery.

Reccer says: Love love love their whole dynamic! They feel so in character and are very sexy about it.

warm inside (with) you by flammablehat (2023, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: Dubcon/Consensual Non Consent

Essek is sleepy. Caleb is horny

Reccer says: Both soft and sexy! Its obvious they care for eachother and sleepy sex is a fav of mine.

a question of luck by renquise (4847, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

After a night out, Caleb is desperate to express just how much he's attracted to Essek

Reccer says: Another sexy one! Love how pieces of their relationship are shown, along with their care for eachother.

Genre Studies by AnaliseGrey (3959, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

“I suppose you're going to tell me this isn't what it looks like?” “Nein, it is exactly what it looks like.” and what it looks like is tentacles.

Reccer says: Love Caleb being 100% down to explore Essek's kinks!

The Climax by Checkhov (4640, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

After their climb up an anti-magic tower and their endless teasing, the wizards decide to take a long rest in the stairwell. Essek endeavours to make this a peaceful night and fails spectacularly.

Reccer says: Scorching hot! Overwhelmed Essek is always wonderful.

Struggle by measuringtheabyss (2880, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek ties Caleb up, edges him, then forces him to come three times in rapid succession until he's screaming and crying. Caleb has a *great* time.

Reccer says: Short and sweet. If you're a fan of forced orgasms and/or overstimulation, then this fic is for you.

shrimp vision by Nevenne (3202, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

In earlier editions of D&D, instead of darkvision, drow had infrared vision, meaning they could see heat. This is about what might happen between Caleb and Essek if the latter could see the former’s, um, warm spots.

Reccer says: Xenobiology, Caleb is a horny little shit, Essek is very done, and Caleb bottoms. What more could you ask for?

i’m the powder, you’re the fuse (just add some friction) by bloodredribbon (7747, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek is prim and proper and neat as a pin. Caleb is a messy gremlin and a brat, and it’s kinda turning Essek on.

Reccer says: I love it when Bratleb fucks around and finds out! Frankly, so do Caleb and Essek both. Excellent magical bondage and brat taming here.

Caleb is really into Essek's makeup.

Reccer says: I liked it!

Reccer says: Super hot, and their care for each other is obvious.

Sweet Desecration by witches_chant (3061, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek enjoys a bunch of beach days and gets very horny about it.

Reccer says: This is one of my absolute favorites, it's so beautifully written, the characterization is on point and it's a lot of fun - even on the 10th re-read.

for you it could be anything by nox_nocturnal (1614, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb is too attracted to his partner for them to even make it out of the kitchen

I got tagged to do a thing by @flammablehat!

Rules: tag nine people you want to get to know better or catch up with, then answer these questions. (Spoiler alert: I am not gonna get up to nine people, but as always, anybody who thinks the questions are cool should absolutely consider themselves tagged, I just have too much social anxiety to Bother People even in this incredibly low-stakes way.)

Three Ships: Right now my heart belongs to my D&D ships and my other fandoms-of-one. So, you know. Valira/Haoti, Quil/Phi/Terry, and let’s say Maliah/Marsa.

Last Song: To Be Loved by Askjell ft. AURORA, which is shaping up to be a bit of a theme song for my NaNo.

Last Movie: I watch so much more TV than movies! (Why isn’t this tag game asking about TV shows watched, I want to talk with more people about how precious Julie and the Phantoms is.) I honestly can’t remember the last movie I watched? It might have been The Black Cauldron, which was back in August, I think.

Currently Craving: What wouldn’t I give right now for a dense, fudgy, really full-of-cheesecake cheesecake brownie?

Currently Reading: I’ve got my bookmark in two novels right now! The Castle of Llyr by Lloyd Alexander, in my read of the Prydain Chronicles, and Party of Two by Jasmine Guillory, whose romcoms are always a delight.

Tagging: @samyazaz, @sovinly, @pluckyredhead, @dollsome-does-tumblr, @mr-chatterboxs-column, and anybody else who wants to do it!

[saturdaysky]

Thank you for the tag, @burningdarkfire 💖 I no-pressure tag @mithrilwren @ariadne-mouse @mllekurtz @catalists @firefrightfic @aboxthecolourofheartache @callingvoicemail @flammablehat and anyone else who wants to! If "anyone else" is you, please tag me, I want to read it

Rules: List the first lines of the last ten (10) stories you published.   Look to see any patterns you notice yourself, and see if anyone else notices any. Then tag some friends.

I have 9 published fics, so I'll do those and perhaps snag an opening line from one of my WIPs. :)

Patterns noticed? Hmm, I tend to start deep in a character's POV with a punchy bit of dialogue or narration.

1. 🥀 poisoning the well (Caleb/Essek, Trent)

There is the splish-splash-splash as the Nein travel through the drenched Aeorian tunnel, and then Ikithon’s voice slithers into his head, parting the layers of Caleb's privacy with ease and blotting out all other sound.

2. 🌠 afterimage (Deirta Thelyss/anger at her god)

Deirta’s people did not know, in the beginning, of consecution. When they emerged blinking into the sunlight and cowering beneath the stars, they were like any other creature: they lived and died, and fate took no special notice of them.

3. 😿 the other things that make us (Caleb/Essek)

He and Caleb are-

He and Caleb are comfortable. Friends. Colleagues. Companions, when Essek is able to visit.

4. 🍏 the apple of one's eye (Caleb/Essek)

"I have a surprise for you," Essek murmurs into Caleb's ear, sounding pleased with himself, and perches on a chair to watch him open the gift. Caleb sifts through layers of packaging until he unearths a carefully-folded bundle of glittering cloth.

He shakes it out. "Surprise" is an adequate word for the outfit that unfurls in his hands. The style is stereotypically Zemnian, despite the excessive number of straps and bangles. What's strange is that fabric seems to be missing in some unusual areas...although if he squints, it almost looks like—

5. 📕 A Mind for Literature (Caleb/Essek)

“I am merely providing feedback at Jester’s request,” Essek muttered once his lips were his own. “She sent me an advanced copy.” His cheeks were a very pretty purple, Caleb decided. There should be more color like that in the world.

6. This one is explicit in the very first line, so it will go under the read more. ✌️😎

7. 🥩 Rare Gift (Trent, Essek)

It must be mockery, Essek thinks, to seat him here at this fine table, cozily enclosed in a small private chamber, as though this is an indulgent conversation between friends.

It must be a game, for they had not even tried to chain him when they pulled him from his cell. A spell had been cast, and Essek could not resist it, so he had come when called, like a pet. Perhaps it gave Trent satisfaction to see him so.

8. 🌜 Quiet Night (Caleb/Essek)

The night is peaceful. Inside the dome, it is quiet, comfortably still, and Essek would like to keep it that way. Somehow.

Caleb is very good at being silent; the only hint Essek might have of him being improper is the slightly labored breathing that brushes warmly over the back of his neck.

9. 🖐 Bitter Balm (Caleb/Essek)

“I care for you, Caleb,” Essek says suddenly, as Caleb walks towards the door to the rest of the outpost. “I expect nothing from it, but, ah. We are heading into peril tomorrow, and...honesty is a new habit.”

There’s a bitter edge of amusement beneath his words.

6. 🧎‍♂️ selfish creatures (Caleb/Essek)

"I thought of you," Caleb says. "I thought of you like this: on your knees before me, my cock in your mouth. It has been a thought for a long time."

Essek hums against him, bobbing his head in a rhythm that coils sweet tension through Caleb with every stroke. The stretch of his lips around Caleb's cock is beautifully obscene.

10. ⏳ untitled semi-abandoned shadowgast Your Name/body swap au

There was a note left for him, when Caleb awoke again in the body that was not his own. Three papers rested on top of an ornate purple-wood desk. A single magelight bobbed a few handspans above their neatly-aligned edges. Its green glow was the only light in the compact study, save for a small window high on the southern wall that spilled starlight across the floor.

He unfolded his borrowed frame from its perfectly-postured perch on the divan, and walked the few steps to the desk. When he picked up the first page, the paper felt soft and heavy: arcanist's weight, handmade, in the finest quality.

The note began simply: Caleb. It felt like an accusation. He bit back twin flares of dread and amusement, then by habit fixed the look of the penmanship into his mind in case it became useful later.

Do not leave my towers, the note continued in elegant, forceful strokes. You are unaware of the currents in which I delve, and I do not wish for my body to be killed or myself to be disgraced because of hapless meddling. Last time required significant triage.

The last was a longer bit simply because it would never see the light of day, otherwise. :)

WIP Tag Game

Tagged by @flammablehat - thanks, darling! 

Rules: Make a new post to share the latest line from one of your WIPs and then tag however many people you feel like.

This WIP has been in the works for like 6 months at this point, and it’s killing me to be so close to finishing it and having 0 time to do so. I’m hopeful I’ll have some time between exams in a couple weeks to bang out the last chapter and a half. Anyways, here’s the last line I wrote:

The Essek he knew in Rosohna wouldn’t have accepted Caleb’s help; he wouldn’t have needed it.

I really can’t think of anyone who I know for sure is writing any fic atm, so if you see this and you are and you feel like it, consider yourself tagged!
