Summary
It has been a long time, but the shadow that crosses Essek’s face is no longer unfamiliar to Caleb. He thinks he can place it now that he has seen it so often—it looks very much like guilt.
“I am happy here,” Essek says. “How could I not be?”
For some reason, the assertion is thrown at Caleb with more force than is called for.
Who is Essek really trying to convince: Caleb, or himself?

Elves don't dream, so all Essek can do is watch.

Summary
“Ha! I have an abundance of interesting secrets.” Essek looks up at him and flicks his ears when Caleb tickles them back up towards the tips. “I can tell a fraction of what I know, and I will, Caleb Widogast. I will.”
It is around three years post canon and the wizards live together in a demiplane. Caleb is teaching and Essek keeps a low profile while focusing on research, but sometimes the high level and a bit bored wizards go out on small adventures together.
This time they go to investigate a hag's corruption of children in the Pearlbow Wilderness. It gets pretty scary and it seems like Essek knows more spells than Caleb had thought. Discussions of magic and reality ensue.
The parts in this series can be read separately.

Summary
Caleb Widogast's life is finally looking like it's on track: he's got a good job, his friends are all doing well, he remembers to take decent care of himself, and his familiar is the most popular figure in the Nicodranas library. Things are finally good. But are things ever truly quiet when your friends are The Mighty Nein?
Dr. Essek Theylss has been exiled to the worst place his mother could think of — bright, sunny Nicodranas. Luckily, unbeknownst to her, Essek has a friend there already. Unbeknownst to him, his friend has been impatient to drag him into her shenanigans for a very long time.
