Paper, Ink
by aeli_kindara
“I would like you to know me,” Caleb says. It feels like a secret. Like the darkest part of him cracked open; all his months and years of hiding, of wrapping his arms and scratching the bindings, of not loving, not loving anything but an unkillable cat — it’s unraveling around him. He feels naked. He feels the way he did the first time Pumat Sol spelled him clean. “I find that — I would like you to know me,” he says, again.

Listening to Your Intensity
by Airdanteine
Communicating with Essek, Caleb has found, is a careful dance where questions are half answered, and their true intentions are belayed through intonation and the looks in their eyes. He has no idea why their rituals had to be so intricate. But in the moments when it counts, when their voices seek the truth, Caleb can't help but listen to Essek's intensity. This fic is part of the Aeor is for Lovers collection, where a few writers come together to write Shadowghast finding love in Aeor, using all their senses.

In the Dark with No Stars to Guide
by Somestreptomyces
Caleb wears his grief like a well worn coat; carries it, in fact, strapped in leather under his left arm. Essek's grief has always been a buried, lonely thing, and he has never known what to do with it, let alone someone else's. But he thinks he would like to learn..In the months since leaving the Nein in the Blooming Grove Essek has maintained his position at the outpost dutifully, if not with no small amount of boredom, but when his Starguide brings news of the expanding search for the traitor who stole the beacons, he has to acknowledge that his time there may be running out. When Caleb arrives in the wake of Trent Ikithon's trial he offers him an opportunity, for discovery and to put a little distance between him and the Dynasty's suspicions, and, perhaps, something more.

Jhaan was the son of a seaman from the Ocean Empire. The three were inseparable, friends until the end. Well, not quite.----This is a story about Aeor, Exor, and Jhaan (Jimmy's) first lives. How they met, how their relationships progress, how and why Exor was taken by darkness. It's the second part in my Connected series, but can be read without knowledge of the first story.
