Summary
Ashton is stuck on a ship for two weeks with the other Nein Hellz on the way to the Shattered Teeth, which means that he's forced (partly by some agents of chaos and mischief on board) to confront his feelings for a certain halfling that have been bubbling under the surface for a while now. And because Ashton is Ashton, what better way to communicate that attraction than brawling about it first?

Summary
It's only been a few months since Kingsley's "birth," and he can already tell that something is off with his… soul? Head? His something.

Summary
Out of seemingly nowhere, a horrible, massive, terrifying city of flesh descended from the Astral Plane, bringing along a gang of mercenaries who captured every arcanist on Wildemount and tossed them into the depths of it's towers. Stripped of their spellbooks, components, and focuses, almost nothing stands in the way of Cognouza's domination of the entire continent.
Essek Thelyss, somewhat-former Shadowhand to the Bright Queen, wants nothing more than to escape. And escape starts with stealing his spellbook back from Lucien's study.

Oh no.
Veth's whole body froze. Her eyes wandered back and forth between Caleb and Yeza.
Oh fuck. -

Beau knows she has a naturally analytical mind, a skill that has been further honed through years of work with the Cobalt soul. Her job is to find patterns, to pick through evidence and come to conclusions that are true, even if they are inconvenient or complicated or uncomfortable.
And though she has tried to dismiss the thought, the evidence is stacking up.
Jester is up to something.

Summary
“Worried about me, circus man?” Caleb teased. Something about his tone made Molly stutter in their movements, face flushing.
Molly’s smile melted into a smirk. “That’s up to you. Would you like me to be?”
—
It started as a simple quest. As most things do when it comes to the Mighty Nein, it went sideways almost immediately.

Summary
The Corvids are a problem. That's nothing new to many people... There are many who would like to see the Flock brought down. One of their primary adversaries, a conniving individual known as the Diseased Deceiver, has determined that taking down the Corvids should be quite simple... All one has to do, is to take out the Mastermind that brought them together, gave them their wings and gave them their flight path... One stone, seven birds.
To put an end to the Corvids, one simply has to put an end to the Crow. The Deceiver aims to do just that. Slowly. Painfully. She has created something just for him. And none of the Corvids will know what has been done to their Crow, until it is too late... until the first, dormant virus has had time to incubate, until his lungs have been primed for hemorrhaging, until the second virus has been delivered, to wake the dormant one, now fully established in his system, triggering a chain reaction of sudden, rapid, dramatic mutation...
It will take hold, rapidly... her only regret is that she won't be able to watch the Raven, watch his Crow die... Watch him scramble, desperate to find a way to save him...

Summary
Those quiet days, Verin pretended that Essek still sat in the same room as him. He pretended he could see the frown and slight tilt of Essek’s head, the way his hair cascaded down his back — always against putting it up, keeping it out of the way. He pretended he could hear the grumble under Essek’s breath about “disturbing the peace” and “trying to read,” and he pretended he could see the way Essek settled in a space that was no longer stiflingly quiet.
He longed for those days.

Summary
Home.
It had never meant anything to Essek. A tower sterile beyond his laboratory with spells and chalk and components scattered in a haphazard way he’d be embarrassed to show anyone else. A family he’d grown distant from almost a century ago. A religion and government he’d silently scorned by refusing their most sacred offer.
He had a lot of things he loved and missed about Rosohna, but the city had never been home until a house of eclectic adventurers with a giant, glittering tree moved in and asked him to dinner.
[Essek officially moves in with Caleb.]

Summary
Caleb is unaccustomed to the aristocratic tendencies of any nation, let alone the one that has only recently come out of a war with his own. Despite this, he is allured to the Firmaments' High Society-though it is not the work of the sparkly chandeliers or gaudy bouquets, but rather the temptations of a handsome drow man whom he'd trekked miles with, Essek Thelyss.
