Summary
He thinks maybe it should make him more frightened, that he should worry about the liabilities he has allowed these people to become. It does nothing to temper the joy of being trusted, of being someone worthy of friend. It does nothing to diminish the memory of Caleb’s spellbook in his lap this morning, its owner sound asleep before him; the sweet press of concern behind Jester’s words in his mind the night before as she reached out with sending.
A rabbit walks into a snare. The snare closes around its throat, killing it. What is responsible for its death, the stupidity of the rabbit or the viciousness of the snare’s purpose?
The Shadowhand of the Bright Queen walks into the T-Dock, he thinks, and feels sick.Two months after surviving the ruin of Aeor, Caleb and Essek return to tie up loose ends.

Summary
In another life, Caleb Widogast never broke. He simply cracked, warped but not destroyed. He learned to be quiet, useful, loved, in a way that hurts the least. He’s got his life figured out, and he’s just fine with how it’s going.
Then a band of mercenaries called the Mighty Mess come looking for help with a cursed ring. They need the help of the librarian who knows entirely too much about magic.
They probably should have stayed cursed.

Summary
“Oh no, Caleb, are you not feeling well? You look kind of shitty.”
“I am fine” he rasps. “Just a bad day. Not hungry, though.”
“Do you want me to try a healing spell?”
He shakes his head. It’s nice of Jester to offer, but there is no spell in the world that could fix what is wrong with him. He’d know. Magic is kind of his thing.
___Caleb is having a very bad day, rotting away in bed. The Mighty Nein keep him company, each in their own way.

It was only a matter of time before someone, a crownsguard or anyone for that matter, spotted the amount of symbols of their group carry that are from non-Empire-approved-deities.

Summary
Caleb's summer library job is ideal for many reasons: it's quiet, it's easy, and he receives money for spending time in a building that he'd otherwise be in anyway. However, this summer, someone's beaten him to the punch: new kid Essek Thelyss, who seems to have no idea he's stolen Caleb's spot and seems to have no interest in him at all.
But a whole summer is a long time to spend ignoring someone. And with the rest of Caleb's friends otherwise occupied, there's nothing left for either of them to do except become friends. Or maybe more.
[A glimpse into Caleb and Essek's summer together].

Summary
The Mighty Nein fail to defeat Lorenzo and the Iron Shepherds when they assault the Sour Nest. They are captured, broken, and sold as slaves to a mysterious Master Pietro, who operates a workshop that makes extremely dangerous and coveted illegal magical artefacts. Caleb and Nott must toil in a field of cursed flowers, while the others are sent to the bleak depths of a mine. Cold, hunger, exhaustion, and the looming threat of violence are their constant companions.
As if these very real and present dangers aren’t bad enough, they are also being stalked by a sinister magical being. Something strange and uncanny lurks in the shadows, something that was there on the day that Molly died, something that haunts Caleb’s nightmares… Something that Caleb fears will ultimately kill him, and go after Nott next, until all of the Mighty Nein are dead.
Caleb can’t see a way through the darkness until it’s almost too late. But this is a story of survival. And when the Mighty Nein get there, they’ll find healing, justice, and heroism waiting for them on the other side. And if everything goes as it should… Caleb will even find an unexpected chance to love and be loved in return.

Summary
Caleb's eyes flew open, unfocused and wide. He didn’t see her. Not really.
"Bitte, Vater - nein… Ich kann das nicht -"
“Caleb.” Beau’s voice was sharp, low. She glanced toward the others - still asleep, gods willing. “You’re not there. You’re with us.”
He shook his head, still locked in the memory, eyes darting. “The fire - das Feuer - I didn’t - bitte, nicht - please, don’t make me -”
She gripped his shoulders, firm but steady. “Listen to me. You’re safe. You’re not in Rexxentrum. You’re in a freezing-ass cave with the dumbest group of powerful idiots in Wildemount, and no one’s going to hurt you.”OR
