(Part 57)

@bruciemilf LOL

Here’s the link to the SNL episode post! Yes, there will be more about it tomorrow. And here’s the link to the actual hot dog skit Robert Pattinson filmed with GQ!

...Caleb closed the journal and stood up. He could feel his entire body quivering, his muscles tense, and his breathing growing erratic and labored. It had been several since he last experienced this sensation. The words he had just read echoed relentlessly in his mind, mingling with Philip's calm and collected yet joyful voice, echoing those haunting words...

“Mr. Mansell was found to be working with the devil… Silly Caleb, you can be so blind sometimes… He was feeding you lies about me... I'm only trying to protect you…"

The words soon turned into images, blurry images at first… then all at once, his mind was thrust into a torturous replay of that horrifying event...

That's all you get from Chapter 17. I wasn't going to share this bit, but I re-read it and was like, know what, you all get to as well, but not the full thing ~

Awww! Anything for the beautifully somber, sarcastic wizard that I adore!

It was not something Caleb was used to but he wasn’t one to complain much about it. The routine became one of those staples in his dynamic with you.

He never paid much attention to himself until you started playing with his hair. Caleb recalled how he initially flinched before when you reached to him, but when he saw that you were offering the simplest comfort instead, he relented.

It was a small luxury that you afforded him, no matter how you made time for it. With your soft humming of songs from your homeland and the occasional mundane “how are you?”, Caleb felt some peace at last.

Or did he really deserve it? As you weaved and braided his fiery hair, did your mind wander to when you knew his story? Was this a ploy to bring false security or were all your actions, prompted or not, your genuine feelings?

To all the people who had this brilliant idea

Caleb, Part 46: “I just agreed to babysit Bruce’s kids on the same week I’m babysitting Tim”

I am a firm believe that Essek and Jester together would make the most devious pranksters so I am so glad you gave me this prompt xD

“Caleb! Can you help us with this?” Jester and Essek were tinkering with something, and Caleb had long since learned to be suspicious of such collaborations. Still, he wandered over and was immediately presented with a box. “What’s this?” he asked, arching an eyebrow at them. “Open it!” Jester smiled sweetly, and Essek was hiding behind his Shadowhand mask. Suspicious… Nothing good could come of this, but they would pout if he said no. So he inspected the box thoroughly. He was no Veth, but he had a good eye and searched for any tampering or playful traps. He met Essek’s eyes before pointedly casting detect magic as well, just in case. He found nothing. No hidden spellwork or tiny mechanical triggers. The box looked normal and unassuming. Well okay then. With that out of the way, he tried to open it, only to discover that the lid wouldn’t move. It was a puzzle, and suddenly he was quite excited. He dove into the process of trying to solve it with determined focus and before long, he heard a click. Euphoria filled his heart as he opened it. A cloud of glitter exploded in his face as Jester cackled madly.
