Summary
His skin feels too tight over his body; like his heart is being pulled forward, like it could burst through his sternum.
“What are you doing?” he breathes, barely audible. The words feel like they’re coming from somewhere else.
“Being brave,” Caleb replies.
*
On the eve of Trent’s trial, Caleb calls Essek and asks for a distraction. He doesn’t specify what kind. Essek has always been good at seeing possibilities.

and have you changed your life? by neinofthem (greekphilosophress)
Fandoms: Critical Role: Exandria (Web Series)

Summary
It is a mild night in Nicodranas, and Veth is considering slamming the door in Essek’s face.
He’s wearing a Disguise that she hasn’t seen before and an expression that warns of future vomit. He says, shivering, “Um. Hello. Please help me?”
Veth, who is beginning to wish that she hadn’t answered the door in her skimpiest robe, attempts to surreptitiously cross her arms over her cleavage. She says, remarkably pleasantly, “Are you fucking insane?”

"Would you... ever," Essek starts. "Would you want... to ever try, the other way?"
"The other way," Caleb repeats, brow creased in confusion.
"With me, inside you," Essek clarifies.
He can see Caleb's eyebrows shoot up towards his hairline before the man schools his expression into something less extreme. "Essek," he says emphatically, "I want that very much."

Summary
There had been rumours about his and Caleb's sordid love affair since long before it was technically true. Essek was simply... playing into them a little, to help his defection go a little more smoothly. Rosohna would gossip about it for a few months, and then the rumour mill would move on, as it always does.
(it doesn't).Or: how Essek and Caleb accidentally inspired (at least) a few dozen smut novels.

Summary
Caleb cannot be sure when their relationship changes. Cannot be sure, even, that it has changed. Perhaps the two of them have been heading here since that fateful evening aboard a ship in Nicodranas, when their similarities are cast into harsh, striking relief by the realization of what each of them have done.
