Summary
“You are not a burden of time,” Essek said, and his voice was very steady now. “You are a moment I chose.”
Years after the Mighty Nein have saved the world, Caleb Widogast finds himself afraid of something far quieter: the slow betrayal of his own hands, and the knowledge that his time will end long before Essek’s ever could.
Love, like knitting, is work done slowly.
As winter deepens and age makes itself known, Caleb Widogast tries to prepare himself to let go. Essek Thelyss stays anyway.

It's been two years and he's still here, isn't he?

Summary
“You don’t scare me, Astrid,” Bren says. “You don’t scare me.”
She looks at the blood still caked under her nails and longs for the simplicity of poison. The taste of magic on her tongue sears like bile. “Don’t I?”
(Astrid, Bren, and fear, through the years).

Summary
The truth of him is this: he holds death in his hands long before he holds magic. The lie that he might think is a truth is this: he has never been in love with death.
Or:

Summary
He had left Bren safe and screaming with Astrid and Wulf so many years ago, but all of them are weapons and none of them are safe, and they pry him out of Caleb Widogast’s half-healed bones anyway.
“It’s good to see you,” Eadwulf says, and the pain is cutting, knife-silver sharp.
(Caleb Widogast stumbles his way into a family. Bren haunts the narrative. They both have secrets).
