    Summary

    Could anyone truly blame him for being so unfocused right now, when the man he'd longed for consistently over the course of twenty years一the very same man who treated physical contact like the startling singe of a hot stove一had his hands draped over his broader shoulders, long frame bent down just enough to whisper sultry directions against his cheek? He should surely think not. The endurance of such an ordeal would kill a lesser man.

    Summary

    He takes another step back. "We don't have any music."

    "We don't need music to dance," Olruggio remarks, reaching out and grabbing the lantern out of his hand. He settles it against the ruined foundation of the hut before turning back and gently taking Qifrey's hand into his own. "Just a little bit, okay?"

    (Or—graduation looms over them. Olruggio doesn't let Qifrey get out of celebrating. Nights like this never end well.)

    Summary

    It’s happening more and more often these days.
    He’s been living with this curse as long as he can remember, the ache behind his eyes never falling below a certain point, a constant reminder of what will happen if he ever once allows himself to set down all it is he carries. He’s been furious, terrified, heartbroken; he’s let his hands grow so tainted that he hesitates to touch the world, let the black in his soul harm those closest to him, let it drive him to secrets and cruelties and forbidden spells in pursuit of a cure, of answers, of just one more day to try. Qifrey has ruined beautiful things and prevented new ones from being born, has rent himself into a shape that breaks through the world, has stolen each new moment of his life or paid for it in blood and memories. He has crafted a life of suffering and placed everything he cares about atop its precarious sill.
    In the past month, Qifrey has had to fight back blooms and branches more times than in the entire year preceding it, and he has no idea why.

    Summary

    It’s stupid. It’s incredibly stupid, Qifrey knows this. But he couldn’t bear it anymore - the image of his dearest friend, of his body sprawled out, limp and fragile and unaware. The bodies that pile up, the vial of tears that are used and refilled - he cannot bear the repetition any longer, the sensation of hurting Olruggio.

    -

    Alternatively: Qifrey leaves the Great Hall. As he encounters people on his journey, he’s nudged back to Olruggio’s side.

    Summary

    “What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.

    “Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”

    “Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”

    In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

    Summary

    A late night shared with chocolate and wine musing over ‘what if’ scenarios.

    “I have a question for you,” Qifrey breaks the comfortable silence, peering at Olruggio from over the rim of his glass he gently knocks his foot against the man’s calf.

    Olruggio raises a brow at him, his response delayed by the piece of chocolate he was eating. “You and questions over wine are never a good thing,” Olruggio says, hooking his ankle around Qifrey with a laugh when the white haired man kicks him.

    “Have you ever thought about settling down?” Qifrey continues with his question.

    “I’m pretty settled here.” Olruggio says taking a long sip of his wine with a waggle of his brows. 

    “I’m being serious Olly.” Qifrey tuts, biting into another piece of chocolate without actually tasting it. Which is a shame, spiced chocolate can be a bit of a hassle to get in Kalhn.

    “Ask silly questions, get silly answers. As the old saying goes.”The dark haired witch sets his wine glass down with a clink against the table, raising his arms above him in a stretch that has his spine popping in a way that leaves him with loose limbs. “Besides, I'm being plenty serious.”

    Summary

    The Knights’ cloaks are the color of an open wound against the walls of the atelier, their pennants like exposed bones. They look at him like Olruggio has committed a crime he cannot remember. Maybe he has.

    They do not tell him who Qifrey is, even when he asks. They do not tell him much of anything.

    Olruggio thinks he can figure it out from the empty space.

    Summary

    Qifrey knows better than to pretend no feelings exist between himself and Olruggio, but to accept them is another matter entirely. With his heart in his throat, Qifrey has done away with every confession Olly’s offered, meticulously intermixing them with his secret and erasing everything over and over. But then, of course, he’s bound to make mistakes sometimes—and should Qifrey find himself suddenly stuck, the consequences may just be enough to ruin him.

    Summary

    "You know, I always thought I'd live somewhere with lots of people around," Olruggio tells him. The wine in his vessel is a rich pink colour. Qifrey made them olives and cheese with cabroccoli wrapped in ham for a late-night snack, but the pleasure was in the making, not in the eating. He sips his own vessel, listening. "But it's really nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful. Good for focussing."

    "I think you would be even more of a hermit, if you had the choice," Qifrey says. "Lost in your work for weeks on end."

    Olruggio looks sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "You're probably right. I never thought I'd be that kind of person, either… weird how much things change, isn't it?"

    "And how much they stay the same," Qifrey murmurs.

    A temporary fix-it.

    Summary

    “Look at me,” Olruggio says. He puts a hand to Qifrey’s cheek. The eye shudders and drags, but it finds his gaze. Olruggio beams. His mouth is trembling. “This is important,” he stresses. “I think I know how to save you, Qifrey. I just need to know if you can see me.”

    Another slow and sluggish blink, and then a motion so small it could barely be called a nod. Barely was enough. “I can,” Qifrey murmurs. “For now.”

    “Good.” Olruggio’s voice cracks. He keeps his smile, even as his eyes sting. “Keep looking at me. Don’t turn away for even a second. I think I know how to take this peace from you for a long, long time.”

    Summary

    The coffee guy looked tired, but he smiled kindly as he proffered the drink. Falst could only see one eye—a single, beautiful, carnelian iris—because he wore a black eyepatch over the other. Hints of scar tissue spiderwebbed out from under that eyepatch, like maybe something had happened to him, something painful and terrible, something most college students would never have to deal with. As Falst took the drink, their hands brushed, just for a moment. The coffee guy's felt warm. Like, heated-blanket warm. Snuggling-haven warm.

    Or: All Falst wanted was a mocha from the student rec center, but he winds up with far more than he bargained for.

    And then he just stared at it.

    Waiting, maybe.

    For what he wasn’t sure, but something about it was different. Maybe he expected for it to just teleport away the second it was out of his hands, or maybe he expected it to glow and burn.

    Yet it did nothing.

    Despite this, Scar couldn’t quite shake the feeling he’d done something wrong, taken a misstep somewhere along the way.
    He just didn’t quite realise how big of a misstep it was.

    Or: after rescuing Falst from a fiery doom, Dainix is extremely reluctant to put him down.
