    Summary

    Qifrey doesn't respond— he doesn't have anything to say. All of a sudden, he is so very tired. So dreadfully exhausted that it weights on his shoulders and makes them slump. Like a lead vest. Like a mile of water above him. Like the weight of a petty little childhood promise.

    Something's the matter with him right now.

    I hate you, he lies, and then the opposite, I wish you never met me.

    "Olly," he says, soft and sweet, "Let go of me."

    Qifrey has a little mental break. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    The day arrived at the atelier without any fanfare, almost laughably so. An average peaceful November morning. Its residents however, were loath to let it remain so.

    Or, Qifrey's first birthday at the atelier after the end of the story.

    Summary

    Never in his life had Qifrey considered that Olruggio may have already known his secret, much less have come up with a plan to save Qifrey's life. If he'd known, not only would he have had to wipe Olruggio's memory before it could work, but he also would never have condoned it. It's a good thing it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    Summary

    "Students aren’t supposed to be your family because it’s easier to manipulate kids if you convince them you are.” Olruggio said it like he was repeating the same exact words his master must’ve used on him. “I heard that some witches convinced students that they were family and because of that, it was easier to convince them to keep quiet or let them think they deserved to be abused.”

    Is it really family if you’re not technically supposed to be a family?

    Summary

    There is relief flooding in, right down to the tips of his toes, as they all pass the gate window’s threshold one by one, subdued though their return might be.

    In the aftermath of the Silver Eve, the whole atelier settles down for a well deserved break, and no one's going to let Qifrey distance himself for it.

    Summary

    “They are quite the sight, Qifrey,” Beldaruit had begun, slouching a little into the pillow that supported his back. A fond smile on his lips, “Iridescent clouds are like rainbows in clouds, a phenomenon that occurs when the sunlight bends around the edge of cloud droplets and as a result the different colours that compose of the white light, diffract by different amounts.”

    Beldaruit looks at Qifrey with a bright grin, “It is truly beautiful, like a rainbow— or several colours beautifully wrapping around a cloud's edge.”

     

    Or, Qifrey finds out Beldaruit likes cotton candy-like rainbow clouds and decides that's going to be his farewell gift after the Fourth Test.

    Summary

    Qifrey’s very first apprentice came when he was no older than 26, and he was not prepared for the fatherhood that the role of master thrust him into.
    Agott is not an ordinary child, and she might need a little more help than he initially realizes.

    Summary

    "Whatever might be happening, now or in the future, it doesn't change how I see you."

    "Doesn't it?" Qifrey's hand, before idly tracing patterns on his pants leg, tenses, balls into a fist and tugs at the fabric. "You're here to be a Watchful Eye. Not a nursemaid."

    "I'm here to be your partner." Apparently that doesn't go quite as without saying as he'd imagined. "You think very little of me if you assume this could break an entire life made together."

    Olruggio learns of the pain Qifrey has been enduring of late, but Qifrey won't concede to being helped quite so easily. (This fic is set pre-canon but does deal directly with the reveal in Volume 7/Chapter 40. Please be advised of spoilers!)

    Summary

    A glimpse into Olruggio’s daily grievances living in the Atelier, particularly his ever-confounding bond with Qifrey.

    Qifrey often disrespects Olruggio’s unspoken (yet clearly stated) need for seclusion while he works. But somehow, as Qifrey shows up on his doorstep just like he has a thousand times before, this time something is different between them.

    Summary

    Cries of help echoed around him.

     

    'I'm here! I'll help you,' he shouted as he spun around. Or tried to. No voice left his throat.

     

    'I can help,' he tried again, clawing at his useless throat in vain. The cries repeated over and over again.

     

    He had to help them- He had to draw. If he used magic, maybe he'd be able to help.

     

    "Oru?"


    Every year, when the winter returns, so do Olruggio's memories of that day, along with nightmares old and new.

    Luckily, Qifrey is there to help.

    Summary

    “I’m here for you, Qifrey.” Olruggio murmured, afraid to shatter the peace of the moment if he spoke any louder. “We’re partners, I’ll help you with anything, if you let me. Anything.”
    “Partners,” Qifrey echoed, already half-asleep. “We’re partners.”
    He said something else, but the sound was swallowed by the room before Olruggio could make out the words.

     

    Or,

    Olruggio wants to help, and just hopes that he's allowed to. (A study in how assistance can feel like a burden, when you need a little too much of it.)

    Summary

    Beldaruit is a man well known for his stubbornness. Less well known is his tendency to entirely forget to take care of himself, or to acknowledge the limitations of his body.

    Luckily, Deanreldy Ezrest is a man who is equally as stubborn and a healer to boot. Perhaps Beldaruit is not willing to accept an alliance with the island king, but surely a little comfort will cause no harm.

    Summary

    “Carpal tunnel on the elbows and wrist, and tightness on the shoulders.” Deanreldy said. “Signs of strain on the median nerve, all the way up to the neck tendons.” Deanreldy sounded conversational, even casual. “I suppose the calluses on your hands can also be easily explained… or perhaps, they come from using magic?”

    In an instant, Beldaruit recoiled. He slapped aside Deanreldy’s hands, twisting his entire body away. “Is this part of your scheme? Stop this at once! I refuse to be your specimen!”

    Deanreldy was too clever by half. If he allowed the king to continue, Beldaruit feared that his body would somehow betray their witchly secrets. It was easy enough to hide his fear with anger, although part of the anger was directed at himself. He had let down his guard. 

    After the disastrous meeting, Deanreldy visits Beldaruit in private to tend to his wounds.
