    Summary

    Caleb stares at Mollymauk.
    Had he… said any of that aloud?
    Or was Molly smart enough to know to check for those things?
    "I'm incredibly intelligent," Molly winks. "Honestly, it wounds me you would doubt that."
    Jester snorts despite her obvious worry.
    Caleb blinks, unsure whether to laugh or cry or simply exhale the breath trapped in his chest.

     

    The avalanche doesn’t kill them.

    The cold nearly does.

    Separated from the rest of the Mighty Nein and forced into shelter by a relentless storm, Caleb finds himself trapped in close quarters with Molly and Jester - and confronted with the unfamiliar weight of being cared for when he can’t care for himself.

    A hurt/comfort fic about being held through the cold, and what it means when someone chooses not to let go.

    Summary

    Shane dialed. It rang… and rang… and rang again. With each passing ring the pit gnawing its way through Shane's stomach was growing. Just as he felt like it was about to stop ringing and go to voicemail, it picked up. Shane breathed out a sigh of relief.

    “Thank God, I was getting worried. Where are you?”

    There was an unsettling beat of silence before someone answered, “Hollander?”

    It was not Ilya’s voice. Shane’s stomach dropped. He did his best to keep his voice steady as he answered. “Yeah? Uh, who is this? Can you give Ilya back his phone please?”

    Another beat of silence.

    “Hollander… God, um, something’s happened-”

    After the events of The Long Game, Shane and Ilya play their first All-Star Weekend. Things are going great, until they go truly and horribly sideways. Ilya is left hospitalized following an attack off the ice, and Shane is left to pick up the pieces and wonder why.

    Summary

    "The Star and The Tower. Oh, how fascinating, " He mused, "There have been destructive natures, whether by outside forces or from oneself, that caused a collapse. Some paths and structures in life are no longer serving you and must be released before they crumble on their own. The Star, however, shines with gentle hope and quiet faith. It whispers of new beginnings after the storm and urges us to focus on what truly matters in life. They go quite well together if you ask me.

    or, Caleb's bandages were torn when Nott found him in the forest. In the morning, when Caleb woke up, they were bandaged up again. This is what happened between those hours

    Summary

    Caleb swept his arm in a wide arc that reached above his head and commanded the flames to consume Owelia in their grasp. If a house made of solid wood and stone could scorch easily by arcane fire, then the small halfling would burn even greater. And burn she did.

    Or, Caleb's thoughts as he kills Owelia.
