What I Can't Say, I'll Show

by SwissArmyKnife

There are certain things Caleb finds hard to express, but somehow it’s easier as a cat. 1. Frumpkin – (Escape from Myself) The first time Caleb turns into a cat, he’s alone in his room. Well, almost alone.2. Nott – (Pay Attention) Nott has been preoccupied lately. Human Caleb understands, but cats are selfish by nature.3. Beau – (Love Bites) Loving Beauregard is painful, as usual.4. Fjord – (Talk to Me in the Middle of the Night) Fjord wakes up to something tiny and sharp poking him in the eye.5. Caduceus – (Coping Mechanism) Caduceus isn’t convinced this is entirely healthy, but it’s fine.6. Jester – (When You Mourn) Caleb isn’t ordinarily equipped to offer physical comfort, but right now he is soft and small and warm, so it’s easier.7. Essek – (Familiar) Essek has an unusual encounter one evening while out in the city.8. Kiri & Luc - (Child's Play) The Nein decide Hupperdook is too dangerous for Kiri, so they bring her to Nicodranas. Luc and Kiri adjust, and Caleb helps.

The Skin Beneath the Facade

by CatKing_Catkin

Molly and Caleb infiltrate a week-long harvest festival in a castle containing a gathering of nobles from all across the Empire. They have a week and no longer to find the information they need about their target and get out unscathed. And of course, to allay potential suspicion and have an excuse to stick close to each other, they go undercover as a couple, Caleb playing the part of a detached, disinterested lord and Molly as the pet he keeps on his arm. Molly thinks it's all in good fun, at least until they catch themself starting to believe some of the lies. It's hard to stay master of their own heart when they finally have the chance to have Caleb all to themself for a while. (Or - Widomauk fake dating AU in a fancy castle. Heavy on the oblivious pining. They share a bed twice.Written for Widomauk Week 2019, Day 4, prompt "Free day")

Through Cat's Eyes

by Vintage_Wine

Caleb sits in the doorway, twitching his tail a bit as he spots Mittens – the orange tabby who likely brought them their midnight snack – has settled down the table next to Caduceus. Clearly, he’s enjoying the firbolg’s gentle head rubs and back scratches. Caleb would snort a bit in jealousy as he thinks back to Jester fawning over the fluffy orange cat a couple days ago. Where Caleb uses polymorph to wander around the tower and check on his friends as a cat - what he learns is how much his found family cares for him and that maybe love and affection are something he can become accustomed to again.
