Fiction: Widogast’s Transition Care, Post CR C2 Ep141

One of my favorite little headcanons that I think about a lot: Imagine Caleb becoming someone trans people come to for at-cost transition care and Essek as someone who goes to trans folks to help them since he moves around.

Analysis: Caleb’s Relationship to Essek – CR C2 Ep140
