Summary
The first letter Essek receives from Caleb Widogast is secreted into his pocket at some point during a tense interview with the Bright Queen. For the life of him, Essek cannot figure out how it was done. He doesn’t recall so much as brushing against the other man as he escorted the Mighty Nein out of the Lucid Bastion.
Yet when he returns to his office, there it is, tucked into a nearly invisible pocket in his mantle — a piece of subpar parchment folded to vaguely resemble a cat’s face with tiny pointed ears.

Summary
It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.
He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”
Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”

Summary
"Your cooking tastes like prison food," Simon muttered into the glass, his voice bitter but without a trace of venom, fogging the pane as he spoke.
Ryland let out a breathless, watery sound, halfway between a laugh and a sob. "I'll take that as a compliment."
---
A continuation of the story after the events of Project Hail Mary and Iron lung. I try to be as story (and fact) accurate as I can be for the nerds out there. I see you, you're welcomed here (and everybody else). I heavily rely on PHM book with some details from the movie.
TL;DR Grace is panicking because Simon is hot, but make it slow burn and cosmic horror. >:D

Summary
After traversing the Happy Fun Ball and facing against their resident wizard, the Mighty Nein have been able to reverse Caleb's corruption at the cost of one of their own. What could the aftermath of such an event look like?
Essentially, my own take on the premise of the Projekt: Funball Live Show and its potential fallout.
(Does not follow the events of the actual Berlin live show.)

Summary
The thing about habitat conservation was that it focussed, primarily, on time. To most people it was a study of nature and animals and how to ensure ecological populations thrived, and that was true to an extent. But at the heart of it all was the ever-present tick of the clock, the forward momentum of the universe, the steady increase in entropy as years passed by. She spent every day of her life following trajectories and mapping changes, one eye on the past and one on the future, so she ought to have seen this moment coming. And yet, somehow, she just… hadn’t.
or, a 'childhood best friends' to 'not quite exes' to 'PhD students on the same course' to 'house mates' to lovers au. with side helpings of vox machina found family, making peace with the past, and finding your place in the world.

Summary
This is the first time Keyleth is able to take a look at the younger man’s face in all her frenzied panic and his work. He’s around her age, maybe a little older, she thinks. His long hair is tied up and his uniform fits him a disgustingly flattering amount. She shakes her head, trying to dispel the situationally inappropriate thoughts from her brain.
Modern AU!

Summary
He had it. Everything Caleb has longed for since the moment he stumbled through the pine woods outside the sanatorium, sunlight burning his eyes and blood on shaking hands that barely felt like his own. That fairytale he told himself, again and again, every time he wanted to lie down and never get up again.
The chance to give his parents back the life he stole from them, control over his past, control over time itself.
Everything he wanted was within his grasp, and he let it go. He let it all go.
