    Summary

    For all the course of his life, Qifrey tried to avoid dealing with his second gender as much as he could.
    If he was being honest, until he presented, it wasn’t even a problem. When he did present, though, it felt like hell.
    That’s how, since age fourteen, he had been on suppressants, and that problem was taken care of.
    So, when Sinocia orders him to stop taking them after his curse is lifted, Qifrey has to adjust his daily life with the consequences of it.

    Summary

    (Spoilers for Chapter 93)

    Perhaps, if Qifrey had not been cursed by the silverwood, he would have done things differently. He would have looked at Olruggio with two eyes wide open. He would have realized he was in love with him when was fifteen, or maybe even a little before then, and Olruggio would have told him he knew the moment he saw him. Maybe they would have had years of cuddling and holding hands and sharing a bed and nothing else. Maybe they would have simply enjoyed being in each other's presence until the desire for more eventually simmered, and they would have explored it with stumbling, eager hands and a fire that kindled brighter over time.

    The issue was that even though the silverwood was gone, Qifrey's body did not realize it. He still felt the ancient tree inside of him, with its silver-scaled bark and its moon-like leaves fanning in his lungs. Felt it whenever Olruggio curved his hand over his cheek and brushed his lips over his, felt it even when he tried to do something as innocent as threading their fingers together.

    It turned out that even after you pulled something out by the root, the ghost of it still lingered long after it was gone.

    Summary

    “Qifrey and I had sex,” Olly said, his cheeks reddening, his eyes on his breakfast plate. Alaira leaned forward with interest. “Finally,” she said with a grin, and Olly looked at her and slowly shook his head.

    “Olly and I tried to have sex,” Qifrey said over tea a few hours later, and Alaira remembered just in time to act surprised, but at least Qifrey didn’t bury the lead.

    “It was a disaster,” they’d both said to her, miserably, hours apart.

    Summary

    One by one the moments when the girls realized that Master Qifrey and Olruggio were in love. Plus one moment where someone knew their love was not meant to be.
    (also analyzes Qifrey and Olruggio's parental relationship with the girls)

    Unlike all the other apprentices, Riché had immediately assumed that Master Qifrey and Master Olruggio were married. For her, it was a far greater shock to learn that they were not.

    Summary

    The dizziness comes next, causing him to sway to the side, the knife slipping and slicing into his palm. Pain blooms, blood splatters against the wood of the cutting board, and drips after him as he drops the knife and flees. Tearing through the atelier like a hurricane, his apprentice's worried calls of his name are distant and muted in his ears.
