Summary
Fjord is dead. Fjord is dead, and his last week with Essek will be spent at his funeral. His stomach twists when he realizes he isn’t sure which hurts worse, especially with Essek standing off to the side, allowing them their space, never having been that close to Fjord. It’s only when he sees Jester that he realizes he’s being stupid because Fjord is dead. He’s gone… for good, and none of them will ever see him again. Even her.
It's unfair, he knows. To love someone and lose them while you’re still so early in your life, not even a grey hair on her head yet. It’s unfair how some are innately given lifetimes, while others only have a taste before time sweeps them away. He looks at Jester. It’s unfair. He looks at Essek, the same thing mirrored in his eyes. Now he knows they’re making the right decision.
.
.
.Fjord dies, and with the ticking time bomb looming, Caleb and Essek had agreed to part, unfortunately coinciding with this event. As Caleb resettles his life in Rexxentrum, he gets an errant message from a certain tiefling, and they realize their situations are more similar than meets the eye, offering a shoulder and a place to rebuild themselves. Time moves along.

Summary
“Jester’s here. The wedding is off. I had a dress and this huge prank planned for Fjord, and now nobody will see either one!”
The Sending blasts through the ordered calm of Caleb’s thoughts. Veth. Her shrill delivery is flippant. The message itself is a fluffernutter: an unmitigated bombshell.

And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.
(She changes everything.)
OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.

Summary
“And so,” Eadwulf said, “ever since then, wizards must take care of their hearts, and never give it freely, for they risk the rebellion of their own magic and the curse of the Abyss.”
Silence fell over the gathered audience.
“Of course,” Caleb said, dryly, “you could see this story as a bit of propaganda to make the teenage wizards not go falling in love left and right. You know, focus on schoolwork or you’ll die.”
“Caleb, are you saying you’re in love and it’s killing you?!” Veth half-screamed.
There is so much more to live for than romantic love. After everything, Caleb Widogast chooses to live.Series
