    Summary

    The Vigil bells are still tolling, calling the monks to the nightly orations. In his bed, Caleb is still adrift between sleep and wake, not sure if he is dreaming the gentle fingers combing his hair in absent-minded strokes, their owner absorbed in his reading.

    Summary

    There's something in Caleb's dreams. It wants him to know that he's not alone. It wants him to know that he'll never be alone again.

    Elves don't dream, so all Essek can do is watch.

    Summary

    “It’s called -” Francis huffed into the phone, commended his soul to a god he wasn’t quite sure he still believed in. “Right now, it’s called…” He sighed. “It’s called Barrow’s Baking Boys.”
      
    When Francis tried out for what he thought was Bake Off, he didn't expect to end up on a knock-off run by an aging baker desperate for a legacy. But now he's here, trying to keep up with the younger bakers and their flashy piping, avoid the eyes of cameras that only seem to catch him at his worst, and do his best not to be distracted by that posh bastard with the perfect hair.

    Ten weeks, twelve contestants, two hundred and twenty five bakes.

    One winner.

    Let the first season of Barrow's Baking Boys Begin!

    Summary

    Taako needed some extra cash, and tutoring was a pretty low stress job that fit his schedule. It wasn't even hard, he just met with a kid a couple times a week and helped with their homework and whatever. It was a pretty good job, and the kid he landed with wasn't half bad. Taako didn't like kids, but he guessed Agnes or Angus or whatever was alright.

    He didn't plan on getting attached to the job though. Or to Angus.

    Or to Angus's really hot single dad.

    Summary

    Kravitz hated it when kids were around.

    It wasn’t that he hated kids, he didn’t mind them really. He didn’t know how one was really supposed to interact with them, but that was pretty standard for the living in general. Kids were just an added extra puzzle to figure out. So even if he felt a bit awkward around them, they really weren’t the problem.

    Kravitz just couldn’t stand when they ended up involved in his work. This one had though, irrevocably. Not only that, he'd gotten involved in his life, as much as one could consider it a life. It went beyond work, and as someone who hadn't existed outside of his job in centuries, that was a little uncomfortable.

    He'd have to get used to it fast though, because Angus was here to stay.
