    Summary

    A silence fell between them, filled only by the distant laughter of the girls outside. Olruggio’s hands found their way into his pockets, shoulders hunched. He hesitated, rocking on his heels before finally blurting, "About last night…"

     

    Qifrey startled, his eye darting briefly to Olruggio before flicking away, focusing on a loaf of bread left forgotten on the counter. "Forget about it," he said quickly, voice low, "I made it awkward. I always do."

     

    “I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about. You have a silver tongue, if anything.” Qifrey chuckled a little bit at that.

     

    Olruggio hesitated, then shrugged, trying for nonchalance but failing utterly. "If you want the truth… I wouldn’t mind if we did more than just talk about politics."

    OR: sad fluffy loving sex between two witch dads.

    Summary

    There it was, that thing Qifrey did, where he offered a piece of himself wrapped in observation about someone else, like a gift hidden inside a gift, and you had to decide whether to unwrap the second layer or pretend you had only received the first. Olruggio had spent half his life learning to read these offerings and in doing so he had become the foremost scholar of a language spoken by exactly one person in all the world.

    "I'm stubborn because someone has to be," he said. "You'd float away on your own mysteries if no one kept you tethered."

    "Perhaps." The maddingly sad smile again. "Perhaps that's so."

    In which Olruggio brings tea to Qifrey's study on a damp evening and finds him working in the dark again, the staff out and the fire dying.

    Summary

    On a good day, Olruggio makes it to bed before sunrise. On a great day, Qifrey shoos him into their bed at what may even be a healthy time.

    Olruggio had just finished his latest commission early, had a delicious dinner, and been smacked on the head for even joking about going back to work.

    “You're terrible and a nuisance,” Olruggio grouses as he slips into his soft silk pajamas to cuddle with his wonderful husband in their new bed.

    Summary

    Qifrey and Olly have to talk about crushes in order to comfort Coco after she gets turned down.

    You don't have to have read the first in the series, but its short and backgrounds some of this conversation.

    -

    “I… I feel so embarrassed," Coco whined, blinking rapidly before swiping at her tears again. Qifrey quieted the urge to take the kerchief and treat her more gently than she was treating herself. He settled for smoothing strands of her hair away from her flushed face.

    Something about Olly’s phrasing, or tone, perhaps, caught in Qifrey’s mind.

    “I know,” Olly soothed again, his hand still tracing down her back and over the tips of Qifrey’s fingers. “Trust me, I know. But it’ll pass.”

    “You… someone turned you down?” She peered at Olruggio, biting her lip when he nodded. The snag in Qifrey’s mind ripped into a gaping hole.

    Summary

    “Come on, Olly.” Qifrey rolled onto his stomach to fix Olruggio squarely in his sights. The last few years of boyhood had rounded out Qifrey's sharpest edges, leaving him mostly handsome and amiable. From time to time, though, he still got this look in his eye like an impending tsunami.

    Olruggio had long since given up any illusions of outrunning the destruction.

    --

    Before the atelier and the apprentices, young Olruggio and Qifrey have recently passed the fourth, and final, test to become full-fledged witches. With their newfound freedom from the Great Hall, they decide to pay a visit to Ghodrey in the north--Olruggio's hometown.

    Between dealing with his embarrassing relatives and planning for life as an adult witch, Olruggio grapples with growing desires towards his best friend. He is unsure what the future holds for them and whether he can follow Qifrey wherever it takes him.

    Though neither remembered that night, it turns out that Tony Stark and Stephen Strange had first encountered each other years earlier.

    Unfortunately, that might end up destroying the universe.

    Summary

    McCoy let himself be led around the room, let his head fall back when the man dipped him, let a laugh bubble up from deep within his chest, through his throat, and out his mouth when he was twirled.

    “Southern belle,” the man whispered fondly into his ear. McCoy could only nod in return.

    He felt so warm. So right.

    Eventually, the party had to end and the illusion shatter.

     

    Or: Jim and Bones meet at an Academy masquerade ball instead of the shuttle. Jim finds out McCoy’s real identity within days, but Bones doesn’t realize who it is he danced with that night… shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    Despite his previous resolve to get better about not being so clingy and needy after his realization, Jim actually felt like he was getting worse.

    Bones’ quarters were practically his now and he slept there most nights.

    When Bones visited Jim’s for a drink, he always sat as close to the doctor as possible without actually sitting on his lap (if they were using the couch, anyway).

    He tried to keep him on the bridge as long as he could, even when Bones probably had better things to do.

    And the man never blinked an eye, never gave him a weird look, and never said anything.

    It frustrated Jim to no end and he fully intended to find out exactly why Bones was just letting him.

     

    Or: Jim discovers he’s obsessed with, and may or may not have a slight (raging) co-dependency on, his best friend. Bones discovers Jim is only just discovering this (and doesn’t realize how Bones feels about him). Shenanigans ensue.

    Summary

    “Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”

    Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.

    “I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”

    When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.

    Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.

    Probably.
