(the lost myth of) true love by tthelyss (eyeofthe)

Summary
Essek sighs deeply and casts Sending. The spell apparates with a white-blue glow, flickering as he speaks, "Hello, my dear. I have managed to get myself trapped under the dresser, if you could be so kind to help me?" his voice is muffled, here, with such close proximity to the wall and sides of the dresser and the rug below. It is a good thing he is in a fairly comfortable position and not remotely claustrophobic.
Caleb's response is warm and edged with a humor that is going to turn hysterical when he arrives to help him, "under the dresser? What, are you cat-sized? No, nein, nevermind. I am on my way up."

If nobody knows, tell me, what’s the crime? by MarsBar2019

Summary
(Now a multi-parter by request!)
Ch. 1: Essek has a lot on his mind, not least a certain Empire wizard. Stewing alone at his desk, trying to ignore the demands of his body, Essek is sure that Caleb's heart is someone else's already. He knows he shouldn't take that as a challenge. He knows that shouldn't make him more aroused. Essek Thelyss has never been particularly inclined to keep his hands off what doesn't belong to him.
Ch. 2: New love, new beginnings, new firsts. Archive warning is for a short scene in this chapter, properly marked so it can be skipped.
Ch. 3-5: For a master of subterfuge, Essek hasn't been so great at hiding that he might have some specific interests in the bedroom. Caleb is more than happy to oblige.
(If you're just joining us, I do think all the chapters except the paired ones (3-5) stand on their own, so feel free to jump in where you're interested! They're part of one story but let's be real, it's not plot-heavy.)

Summary
Every so often, Caleb likes to Polymorph into a cat, to be able to forget all his anxieties as he roams about as a kitten. And then, every so often, he likes to be a sweet little kitten for his partners, to dress up and be given plenty of attention by those he loves the most. Astrid, Essek, and WUlf are all too happy to indulge him.

breathe me in, exhale slow by MarsBar2019 for cassiem9009

Summary
Essek's trips to the Empire leave him itching to blow off some steam, and he happens to find a very convenient way to do that in the form of a, shall we say, side hustle. No mess, no fuss, and everyone gets what they want.
Caleb needs to blow off a little steam too, or at least his friends think so. They arrange for a bit of companionship for him for the evening. Neither of them is at all what the other expected.
(Set during the two-week break in Zadash post-Iron Shepards arc.)
