Summary
The ringing note of a concert A is played by the oboe, echoing on its own in the space. It’s picked up by the wind section, followed rapidly by the brass, and the familiar feeling of an orchestra calibrating takes over Caleb. The tonal adjustments as each person brings their instrument into alignment sinks into him and something inside Caleb shifts in recognition as Essek leads the strings into their own tuning.
It’s like something is waking up, like something unfurling and firing across long-unused paths of memory. His hands shake slightly, as he raises his bow and joins them, fingers fumbling against the pegs and fine tuners that give him control over his instrument.
----
Essek Thelyss is a leading violinist, his spot as Shadowhand of the Rosohna Philharmonic Orchestra has been uncontested for over a decade. Caleb Widogast is a recent arrival to the city, convinced by his friends to audition for one of the vacant violinist positions.
After starting off on the wrong foot, Caleb and Essek get to slowly know each other, discover what brings them joy, create while defying expectations, and find out that what they can produce together may just be better than anything they can do separately.

Summary
Experts can find no discernable cycle, only that drow who experience heats can expect to do so every decade or so, provided they are in the right environment. Roughly, this means adequate nutrition, lowered levels of stress hormones, and mildly increased levels of sex hormones. Food, calm, and attraction.
It should really be no surprise then that Essek went through exactly one heat at the peak of puberty and never again. A fact that never bothered him much until recently.
Or Essek has finally found someone he wants to share a heat with. Now if only his heat would get the memo.

Summary
A collection of fics specifically related to the gender of Caleb Widogast where him being trans is actually relevant. Since this is only in very specific situations that very rarely crop up, ALL my fics can be considered part of this AU but these are where it is explicit.
It’s a magical world you guys the possibilities are literally limitless, so technically this is just the “pre-physical-transition” subset ;)

Summary
On a long list of terrible ideas, Imogen reflected, this particular choice on her part really took the top spot.
Her therapy session that week had gone well. Really well, actually. So well that when her therapist had suggested Imogen "take a small step out of her comfort zone", Imogen had seized her rare confidence and decided she’d visit a coffee shop.
A loud coffee shop. Open to the public.
One with other people in it, to be clear.
