    Summary

    Jiro can appreciate the subtle beauty in anything.

    Right now, though, what reserves his fondest gaze is the slope of a spine, glistening with sweat and quivering with muscle; the curl of ink-smudged fingers, squeezing until they’re white-knuckled over the edge of Jiro’s draftsman table; blades of raven hair warming to a burnt umber under the lamplight, in the quiet secrecy of their office, where Jiro can spot, even in this lighting, the way one ear remains uncovered by hair, and the tip of it blushes scarlet.

    Summary

    He digs his fingers into the porcelain, squeezing his eye shut. It's not working. He tried. But he can't. He can't get over this alone. His heart is still thrumming with anxiety, and he feels like he might throw up what they ate for dinner.

    Familiar and routine comforts come to mind for nights like these, his feet moving softly across the wood floor and through the atelier halls in pursuit of them.

    After being awoken by a nightmare, Qifrey seeks Olruggio's comfort in the middle of the night.

    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.

    Frank Langdon is worried about Mel. She has a lot on her shoulders and doesn't know how to ask for help. He decides that he can help her by giving her moments outside of work where she's just having fun, not taking care of anyone. Mel sees this as a bid for friendship and happily accepts.

    Eventually real friendship blossoms between them, then something more.

    __

    Langdon is separated from the very beginning, just wearing his wedding ring at first to avoid questions or pity at work. He is not immediately looking for love or to get over Abby; it sneaks up on him.

    MEL KING: YOU DID THIS?
    FRANK LANGDON: Probably
    FRANK LANGDON: But what this time?

    Mel sent him a picture of her laptop screen.

    MEL KING: THIS. YOU DID THIS.
    FRANK LANGDON: Well don’t they look like they’re having fun?
    MEL KING: OMG
    FRANK LANGDON: 😇
    MEL KING: THEY WON’T STOP.
    FRANK LANGDON: Don’t make them stop!

    Queen Mel may be pregnant!

    Mel yelled into her closed fists and scrambled back, pushing the laptop away from her. No, no. Queen Mel could absolutely not be pregnant. She still had to get to the top of the gardening career and she had to write 5 books and she hadn’t even –

    FRANK LANGDON: Btw
    FRANK LANGDON: Jealous?
