Summary: Caleb has the second-highest exam score in his physics class. It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to him.
Excerpt:
“My life is over.”
Caleb’s head slammed against the library desk repeatedly. Beau rolled her eyes as she adjusted her phone, tilting it to the perfect angle so that his forlorn pose was visible in the frame behind her.
“God, you’re so dramatic. Smile for the camera, nerd.”
“How? I can never smile again.” Caleb’s voice was muffled against the wood, which only made the situation more comical in Beau’s mind. She grinned with satisfaction as she added a caption and sent the image through Snapchat. Hopefully the rest of the gang enjoyed Caleb's pain as much as she did.
Wizard Brunch

Summary: Essek gets a mysterious message from a stranger asking if he wants to join him for brunch.
Excerpt:
It was insane. A waste of a spell that could lead to getting killed by a stranger, although he had no idea why someone from Tal’Dorei would have it out for him.
On the other hand, wasn’t this why he began traveling to begin with? To be far away from all the forces trying to kill him or draw him back into politics, to gain some perspective by looking outside himself and his narrow-minded goals? Essek pressed a thumb against his mouth as he contemplated this, scanning the paper to a scrap of fabric pinned to the bottom of the map. It was striped purple and gold, a colorful addition to the parchment, and it took Essek a moment to understand why it was there. He could use it to teleport.
Our Little Dark Age
Pairing: Essek Thelyss/Caleb Widogast
Chapters: 1/1 (Complete)
Word Count: 1,291
Characters: Caleb Widogast, Essek Thelyss
Tags: Neutral Evil Essek, Alternate Universe, Toxic Relationship
Summary: Caleb and Essek bask in the afterglow of an assassination.
Excerpt:
Essek sat on Caleb’s lap and curled around him like a cat in a sunbeam. One arm looped around his back while the other ended in long fingers that gently, with praise and encouragement, stroked the maze of tattoos adorning his skin. You would never think from their relaxed embrace that a body lay three feet away, reaching for the golden throne that the couple sat on. The fine cushions were stained with blood.
“You did so good, Caleb. You’re so good.” Essek murmured into his ear, sweet as bird song. Caleb nuzzled his cheek in reply, looking just as pleased.

✨Wizard Brunch✨
Throwing up a link to the (maybe?) weekly Succession recap I'm writing focused around whatever the hell is going on with Tom and Greg. Please enjoy my dismay and confusion!
Cut to Tom and Greg in the same frame suddenly! They are doing the weird close-up face whispery thing but that’s par for the course at this point, Tom and Greg only know how speak to each other if there’s the constant threat that one of them could trip into an accidental kiss. The conversation is normal for too long and then Tom can’t resist blurting out something crazy.
Why? There is no lead up to the mention of the sex tape! He did not need to say that!!! Greg doesn’t even try to look flustered or do his usual wh-wh-what stutter, he has been fielding random sexual comments from his boss for (at least) a year and he is over it. Tom stinks with the desperation of a divorced wife guy.
Tomgreg Watch article for Episode 2 is published! This time I wrote about ass pats, Tom talking about kissing men, and if I think the show is queer baiting (no). Please...enjoy?
