Doodles? 👀 how abouttttt Caleb being silly and distracting while Essek is trying to knit? XD :3

Local wizard decides he is in desperate need of cuddles while his bf is in the middle of knitting.

But once Essek finished his row, he was happy to oblige 💕

Ooooh “thunderstorm” for the March prompts? 👀

thank you for the ask!

(ask me a march writing prompt)

surprisingly, I wrote this one before reading this prompt so uh, apparently storms were on the brain. this can be read as a continuation of the above!

He goes to turn away, but before he can, he's stopped by Essek's cool hand cupping his cheek. He stills, tilting his head for a moment in question before Essek kisses him, lips surprisingly warm as they press to his own. This never gets old, Caleb thinks as he sighs into it, still half asleep and feeling indulgent. His own hand comes up to cover Essek's, his arm slides in behind the silk robe until he can tug Essek in by it, and he deepens the kiss. He half expects Essek to pull away the way he does when he's distracted, but the moment stretches, even as the lightning flashes again and the thunder cracks. By all rights, the door should be closed--this is an incredibly stupid thing to do on a high-rise building--but there's something about it that builds, as if the electricity in the air has zapped directly into his veins, that tries to burn away the last vestiges of sleep that cling to his body. It's not wholly successful, as Caleb breaks the kiss to yawn again. "You should sleep," says Essek, kissing the corner of his mouth. "So should you," he manages in reply. "Aren't you cold?" For under the silk robe Essek is naked. He's not complaining, he can feel the lines of Essek's body against his own and they are warm where they press, but Essek is barely containing the slight tremors he always gets when he's cold. "I'll come in soon." Caleb yawns. "Promise?" "Yes. Go and sleep." "Love you." Essek smiles, then leans up to kiss his nose. "I know."

oooooo how about Aeor explorations? 👀

wizard date time in the frozen north with angst! the lads wind up in some trouble in the city and i put the blorbos in the blender on the highest setting, have yet to decide just how much damage i inflict buuuuttt so far there is a great deal of hurt...mwhahaha

“Teleport?” Essek suggested, a risk but one they had no other choice but to take. Caleb nodded in agreement, “Ritual cast, I do not have power remaining.” “Nor do I, you cast, you do not need to rely on your book,” Essek pointed out. Caleb gently bumped his forehead to Essek’s, “Watch my back?” “Always,” Essek promised without hesitation. Caleb smiled softly before he fished a crumbling piece of chalk out from his pouch and scratched it against the floor beneath them, he threw his head back in barely contained frustration as it left no mark against the thin sheen of ice. “We must move,” Caleb growled quietly. Essek peered over their cover. Prowling in the distance was one beast. The other two were worryingly absent from his sight. He turned back to face the exit, wide swathes of open flat ground were temptingly within reach, all without an ounce of cover.

Ooooh!! I'm very intrigued by...

love is in the air (i just gotta figure out a window to break out)

Also Hi :)

hi!! :)

@quinn-of-aebradore

caleb spent so much time during the campaign focused on saving his parents; this one is about him grappling with the fact that he doesn't have to plan his future around that anymore, and specifically being very skittish about the fact that there's no real reason why he and essek can't be together long-term.

a lot of what i've written has been scenes that compare and contrast essek with astrid, wulf, jester, and veth, so i don't have a fun excerpt for this one, but here's something fun that did come up:

it took me so long to find a way to contrast essek and astrid/wulf properly because i kept coming up with scenarios that could work, then realizing that they already happened in canon. a fight where essek chooses caleb over trent while astrid and wulf initially back trent? that happened! essek helping caleb however he can in spite of the danger to himself while astrid and wulf want to help but are only willing to go so far? that happened! we were so spoiled by c2.

also, the title and some inspiration were taken from fake out by fall out boy.

Fair warning for the episode that the ASMR ad is Not Dead and Has Unfortunately Returned

👀👀👀

eheheh so i wanted to write a fic that was like. caleb does something innocuously incredibly attractive (like stretching so that his shirt rides up a lil and you see a bit of tummy. u kno what i mean) and essek just. short circuits. and this idiot (affectionate) is getting kinda hot and distracted and you know, caleb, i think i've been poisoned, this is not natural

i only wrote like 200 words so here have all of them

The dinner was fantastic. The fish was fileted to perfection, the vegetables crisply roasted, the wine expertly chosen for a subtle and masterful pairing. All to say nothing of the company.

And so it was safe to say that Essek was feeling especially content that evening, sitting across Caleb's dinner table from the man himself. Caleb, dressed down in naught but his shirt and trousers, hair loose, book holsters strapped as ever across his chest, grinned at him in a lazy and fond manner, and Essek found himself sinking into the sensation.

"Are you feeling satisfied, mein Sternchen?" Caleb asked, wiping his fingers on a cloth napkin.

"Quite," Essek said with an answering smile.

"Gut," said Caleb. "Then I suppose it is time to get to work."

"Are you sure?" Essek said, slouching languidly into his chair. It wasn't the most comfortable in the house — that honor, he knew, belonged in the study — but circumstances rendered it a throne.

"Quite sure." And there was that favorite smile, the one that crinkled Caleb's face and turned Essek's heart to putty. He stood and stretched, pushing his wrists together and towards the sky. His shirt rode up with the motion to expose a sliver of pale skin, a tantalizing trail of coppery hair.

Essek's breath hitched. Very suddenly the room seemed to be suffocatingly hot.

send me a 👀 to hear about a wip i didn't finish in 2022

[kingsleytealeef]

First of all, 💜💜💜💜 for your friend, I hope you feel better soon!

Second! Many scenes for you!

from edge of the blade, Caleb leaving his and Essek’s room after the dunamancy reveal at the peace gala and Tasithar swooping in to take Essek away immediately. Brock my damn heart, you did.

from the hallmark AU, the dancing & kiss scene at the B&B. So soft, so quiet. Holds it in my heart.

and also from the hallmark AU, the last scene, Essek finally finding the Brenattos bodega, Caleb seeing him, “are we running?”, the wizards embrace. Just. So good, friend 💜💜💜💜

firstly thank you, hopefully my body stops being a dick soon 💜💜

secondly

so! many! scenes! i'm spoiled!!! AAAAA thank you my friend you!! that scene from the edge of the blade was honestly my fave to write so that it had such a big impact on you as well, i'm DELIGHTED!!!! if i was physically able to i would be cartwheeling around in pure joy!!! the hallmark au was such a fun go for me and my heart is so full that you loved it so!!! "are we running?" idiot wizards in love always 💜

[valakiir]

I know the thing says on anon but you know I love Tomb of Rust and I am forever shaking you for all of it but specifically the scene where Essek is being drowned and then his panic attacks later on while he’s trying to take a bath. Those moments are seared into my brain, Kiri! And then in the sequel, the wizards jumping down into the ravine river and Caleb using Suggestion to calm Essek down and the entire sequence of events that surrounded that. So so good, moments I will never ever forget.

Aaaaaa thank you!! 😭

I had so much fun writing those ones! Its really interesting to try to fit all the Whumptober prompts into 1 fic, also means i cant really plan the fic out until the promt list comes out which makes life a little difficult lol.

Im so glad u like it! Knowing ppl not only read my things but enjoy them? Fills my heart!

this is very sweet thank you!

[kmackatie]

Oh it is such a tough choice but. Rock star AU? 👀

Okay so this one is because of @notsoangrybabsarts incredible rock star au art that I was lucky enough to see when it was in WIP stage. It fuelled a fire that I immediately stopped paying attention in a work meeting and banged out a couple hindered words of fic to go along with it. It’s been fun bouncing headcanons around with it, and I really do hope to get some of it to a polished point that I can share!

But for now, a little snip of one of the scenes that really could be about wizards but trust me that it’s musicians:

Essek holds his hand out, wiggling his fingers in invitation. Caleb looks at him for a long moment, trying to prase his intent before he relents, hand sliding into Essek's own. He just holds it for a moment, thumb brushing the back before he turns Caleb's palm over, finger tips drawing across the calloused fingertips and dry skin. The turn in the weather is always rough on Caleb's skin.

"It's going to be okay. Whatever happens, nomination or not, there will be other years. Other chances." As much as he wants to prove them all wrong and will be devastated if they aren't, he needs to say it, for Caleb's sake.

Caleb sighs, but says nothing, hand twitching in the physical tell of the words he's holding back by sheer force of will. Focusing down, Essek digs his thumb into the meat of Caleb's palm, his other hand coming to cradle it as Caleb bites off a groan, his fingers splaying out before curling slightly. Had Caleb really let it get this bad?

"You are so tense," murmurs Essek, mostly to himself. "Have you been stretching?"

[jaskwritesthings]

Oooooo shadowidomauk pirates, perhaps? 👀👀👀

Kingsley looked over the hold of ill-gotten gains with a pleased eye, "What precious treasures I get to plunder."

Caleb snorted on a charmed laugh he desperately tried to cover as Essek glared down the Plank King, "I don't appreciate the amount of platinum we waste on ever increasingly twitchy crews because you insist on taking our ships captive to play out these fantasies of yours, King, we have work to be getting on with, and we can visit you via teleport whenever we feel like it, this," he waved a sharp hand around the hold of their ship and the very confused and slightly terrified faces of their most recently purchased crew, "is unnecessary and annoying."

"You'd never take a break from your academic studies if I didn't mount a sea-faring intervention once in a while," King gleefully pointed out as he came close enough to plant a chaste greeting kiss on Essek's cheek, he noted that the drow lowered himself enough to receive it, so he wasn't too upset with the interruption. Caleb welcomed him with open arms and a warm kiss as Essek sighed and went to reassure yet another seasoned crew that, no, they weren't about to walk the plank it was, in fact, just the feared Plank King's favoured courting practice, so sorry for the inconvenience.

three sentence au
