Summary
In the Year of the Realm 865, nothing happens. It is unremarkable by many metrics, the slow war between Sanbreque and Waloed; Dhalmekia’s attempts at rousing more trade, Kanver forcefully continuing to establish itself. Twinside glitters, as it does, and the blight grows ominously, as it does. Nothing includes a branded imperial solider waking up in the middle of a night, and then vanishing. It is starkly unremarkable. Soldiers go missing and die all the time, of course, especially the branded, who are thrown at the front lines or impossible tasks by their superiors with glee. The soldier is forgotten before the week is over.
In the Year of the Realm 866, Drake's Breath disintegrates in a fiery explosion. It may be related.

Bookmarker's Notes
Reverse chronology, outsider perspective of a time-travel fix-it. So many things that are catnip to me

Summary
“'I have some good news for you.'
Had the words come from anyone else they would have sounded fewer warning bells, but any time that Deirta Thelyss spoke happily to her eldest son it meant that he was about to experience something truly awful."
In which Caleb clears debts, Essek learns the meaning of family, and aristocrats get what they deserve.
This is the requested full Concubine AU version of "Conflict of Interest" where the wizards stay in Rosohna, because your author keeps their promises.

Summary
“I did not have the opportunity to attend my parents’ funeral or pay my respects at their grave. And unless I miss my guess, neither of you chose to do so for your own families,” Caleb’s voice is hard, decisive. He looks between the two Vollstreckers with ice in his eyes. “I believe, then, we are all overdue to pay our final respects."
Post-campaign, Caleb returns to Blumenthal after destroying the technology that could have saved his parents to say a long-overdue goodbye, but he asks Astrid and Eadwulf to come with him so they can truly close the chapter on the horrible story that was their life with Trent, and perhaps leave Blumenthal a little bitter than they found it.
Essek accompanies as his emotional support wizard, and to learn more about Caleb's childhood.

Summary
“I would like you to know me,” Caleb says.
It feels like a secret. Like the darkest part of him cracked open; all his months and years of hiding, of wrapping his arms and scratching the bindings, of not loving, not loving anything but an unkillable cat — it’s unraveling around him. He feels naked. He feels the way he did the first time Pumat Sol spelled him clean.
“I find that — I would like you to know me,” he says, again.
