    Summary

    Nott whispers, “I think I’m a very good monster.”

    Caleb rolls over. His eyes are human-dull in the dark, the blue just catching the edge of moonlight filtering in through the window. He touches his forehead to hers. They breathe. Not long and slow—quick, a little frantic.

    The warmth blooms between her ribs. She names it magic, despite knowing the ember-sting of arcana these days.

    She sees Caleb’s throat work as he swallows. He whispers, “that makes two of us, Nott the Brave.”

    (Veth is a monster and a mother. Nott is only one of those things).

    Summary

    “For all the stories the Nein had raised Luc on over the years, there was always a space in the shape of a goblin that was talked around but never about. Even with his dad, there seemed to be something no one said, and it was always worse when Caleb came to visit. Luc had pieces, bits here and there, but the actual meat of the issue was something ephemeral, always slipping through his hands, and it was only with the arrival of Baby Bren that Luc just started to see the outlines of it and where it had settled awkwardly over his life.”

    After the events of Projekt Funball and Darktow, Luc Brenatto takes Nugget and runs away from home. It’s not about the baby brother no one told him he was getting– or not only about that– however, once he starts asking questions, Luc learns that his parents are not infallible beings and perhaps life does not have easy answers.

    Summary

    She lets out another snarling sob. “And who are you?”

    He shifts a little, pushing her away from him so she can see his face. “Caleb Widogast,” he says carefully. When she blinks at him with stunned, prey-wild eyes he says it again.

    “Say it like you believe it,” she says, and he understands.

    She’s always been afraid for him, and now here they both are, alone together chasing his own ghost story in the form of a broken teenage girl taught to be better than he ever was. She’s felt evocation magic in his hands when he held her. She heard Bren.

    “Beauregard,” Caleb says quietly. “It’s me.”

    (Beau's mission goes wrong. The Empire kids, past and present, help).

    Summary

    Calm emotions is a spell he doesn’t need to pray for these days. The magic sits like honey at the roof of his mouth. He lets it unfurl with his breath, heat seeping into his cold fingers. The body shudders and stills. The only sound is his ragged breathing. “This is only going to last a minute,” Caduceus says. “And then it’s all going to come back. So I need you to breathe and look at me, okay? I’m not going to hurt you and you’re not going to hurt me.”

    The eyes blink. Once. Twice. Three times. “Cad?”

    “Yep. You’re good.”

    “I’m good?”

    “I like to think so. You’re certainly not bad. I’ve killed you before; I’d know.”

    (Kingsley is brought to the garden).
