    Summary

    It wasn’t consecution.

    How could it be? Essek wasn’t consecuted. Even if he had been, consecution didn’t work like this. He’d know if it did; he’d spent years searching for any scrap of information about what was happening to him.

    He found nothing.

    -*-

    Every time Essek dies, he wakes up on the day he meets the Mighty Nein. He's tried everything to avoid, subvert or kill them, but so far nothing has worked. He's already died fifteen times. He refuses to die a sixteenth.

    Summary

    Alternate universe set after the end of Season 3. Alucard has been living his voluntary life of solitude for over a year now. As the mundane is occasionally disturbed by an ill-willed intruder, his Forest of the Dead steadily grows. He doesn't need stuffed toys of his friends to talk to them anymore, Trevor and Sypha appearing in his imagination as vividly as if they were actually there has now become second nature. Having a habit he has no will or strength to fight, he tries to get the most amusement out of his friends appearing in the most impossible situations, though he knows they're also a good sign of him steadily losing his mind.
    One gloomy day, yet another intruder arrives at his door: Sister Mioara, a nun, who impudently tries to disrupt his comfortable psychosis.

    Summary

    Essek clung to her; his fingers gripped the front of her coat. He looked small in a way he never had before, frightened in a way that Caleb hadn’t fully processed he could be. It wasn’t Essek’s nervousness, the anxiety of a brilliant man who could see danger all around him, who could see the falling dominoes and the way the web he had woven had entangled him. It was the fear of a small child, or indeed, a stray cat—the fear of a creature trapped in a terrifying world it did not understand.

    Essek, brilliant Essek, Essek who believed he could find the answers to everything, unable to understand a thing—the thought of it stabbed at Caleb’s heart.

    ---

    In a world where Trent makes it back to Eiselcross before the Nein do, Essek spends a night under the effects of the Feeblemind spell. Caleb undertakes a duty of care, and the Nein learn how Essek feels about them beneath everything.

    Summary

    Hawke gingerly stroked Fenris’s green and glowing palm, then looked up at him with wide eyes. “Well, I guess that’s the end of our years in hiding, isn’t it?”

    Fenris surreptitiously looked around. Everyone in Haven was staring at them, from the quartermaster to the soldiers and the refugees and the Chantry sisters.

    He hunched his shoulders defensively. “So it seems,” he grunted. He didn’t like being stared at, and he never had. But with this blasted magical mark on his hand, it didn’t seem that he had much choice in the matter.

    Little did Fenris realize that being stared at was going to be the least of his problems.

    **************
    IN A NUTSHELL: Fenris is the Inquisitor, and is not very pleased about it. Rynne Hawke, on the other hand, loves making new friends.
    This fic is a sequel to my canon Fenhawke romance, which you can read in the rest of this series, particularly A Tantrum and a Know-It-All Grin. It covers the entire game, including Trespasser.
