    Summary

    He'd been too comfortable. Qifrey almost laughed when it hit him: this entire predicament was supposed to be anything but reassuring, but somehow, the gentle pass of time had withered away the sharp edges of his suffering. Just like the tides would smooth over the rocks of the shore again and again until they became nothing but sand, he'd grown to expect the pain, until it wasn't as excruciating anymore. It was almost like having a reason for it was enough to soften the blow.

    And it did. Stars, it did.

    (Or, the Silverwood tree is growing again, but this time it won't go away. Luckily, Qifrey's family has no intention of ever letting him go.)

    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

    The only way to see someone's true nature is to see how they act when they don't know they're being watched. The girls catch moments between Qifrey and Olruggio that help them decide on their future as apprentices.

    OR: Before they're official apprentices of Qifrey's atelier, the girls accidentally (on purpose) stumble upon Qifrey and Olruggio when the two men think they're alone. It tells the girls everything they need to know about the kind of witches (and people) they are.

    Summary

    His breath passes through his body in cycles, and he allows himself to focus on it. The stretch in his muscles as his chest expands and back widens. Each inhale seems to unravel something in him, allowing the tension to bleed from his body.

    Once more he observes Olruggio’s features, taking in the color of his eyes — an intriguing shade that reminds him of a star-filled sky — and the harsh line of his mouth. He observes the dark strands that fall across his forehead, the cut of his jawline, the bridge of his nose.

    I want him and this life we built together.

    I want to live.

    or: qifrey learns to rebuild. olruggio is by his side.

    Summary

    “You can touch, y'know.” Qifrey feels Olruggio's breath on his hand, and he wonders if his friend can feel the way his pulse jumps beneath his fingertips.

    “Ah, but—” My hands. Qifrey wants to tell him no. These hands have only ever hurt you.

    (Or—Qifrey wakes up curse-free and blind. He's not fine, but Olruggio is there, so it's going to be okay—they have the rest of their lives to work through it together, after all.)

    Summary

    Olruggio didn’t think Qifrey liked physical touch at all, but now that the curse is gone, the white-haired man immediately decides that Olruggio’s personal space is his personal property and he will be burrowing into Olruggio's ribcage, thank you very much.

    Summary

    Maybe it's the little girl whose disappearance turned into a murder, and whose murder turned into a cold case, and who has now apparently decided to move in with him. Maybe it's the unacceptable hole left in his life when his dumb best friend and partner in (the prevention of) crime decided to go and get himself killed. Maybe it's his brother, whose high-profile career and fantastic girlfriend and first-child-on-the-way are steadily leaving Dean in the dust. Pick one. Pick all of them. The why doesn't matter so much as the what, and the what is this: Dean is pretty sure he's going completely, certifiably insane. Sure, he hasn't started wearing all his clothes inside out, and he still showers on a regular basis (anyways, that's not crazy, just a little eccentric); but there's no getting around the fact that he just threw away his life, his career, and his reputation by dragging out his mom's old necromancy book and summoning a Class A Forbidden Entity to his attic. A cranky one, too. With horrendous bed-head.

    Summary

    It’s not that Pangzi doesn’t support his friends. He does! In fact, he’s relatively certain that no one wants the two of them to get together more than him. After all, no one else has to actually live with the day-to-day horror of what Pangzi has come to call The Star-Crossed Lovers Shit Show.

    No one else has to live the life Pangzi has to live and, quite frankly, he’s tired of it.

    Summary

    Ten years after Zhang Qiling went behind the bronze doors, the Wang family is defeated, Xiaoge can come home, and everything, Wu Xie knows, should be all right.

    But ten years have changed them all. Wu Xie no longer knows how to be the Tianzhen that Zhang Qiling knew, and fears that his old friend won't recognize--or like--what he's become. Zhang Qiling himself has come out of the bronze doors haunted, and more remote than before. And when a dangerous stranger begins tracking down Wu Xie, he knows there can be no going back to who he used to be--even if it means changing who he could become to Zhang Qiling.

    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.

    Summary

    Rick snorts. “They’re not that bad.”

    Wordlessly, Evy looks back over at Jonathan and Ardeth.

    “If you think about it, I'm doing them a favour. Jewellery never looks quite right on dead people,” Jonathan is saying, flicking his wrist in comic disdain. A drop of whisky lurches forcefully from his glass and lands on Ardeth’s thigh, and Jonathan leans forward to pat it dry with his jacket sleeve. “Terribly sorry, old boy. I get a bit animated after a finger or two of the good stuff.”

    Ardeth’s eyes are very, very wide indeed.

    “Jesus, you’re right,” says Rick. 

    After 20 years of being subjected to more yearning than any sister should ever have to witness, Evy decides that enough's enough.

    Summary

    “I’ve had worse,” O’Connell says grimly, shifting his aim to the Americans’ dreadful guide instead.

    Evy’s brother shifts his pistol just a little higher too and agrees, “Yeah, me too.”

    The look O’Connell gives him is so disbelieving that, regardless of her other thoughts on him, it makes Evy want to scream. She knows that Jonathan is insouciant and frequently irresponsible, a drunk at best and a thief at worst. But she also knows that her brother fought in the war, just the same as O’Connell and Beni and probably even the Americans. She knows that he came home different from the boy who left when he was only twenty-two.

    Summary

    They reach the town’s edge by lunch, where they have the choice to continue on feet or fork over some money for sand steamer passes. That’s pricier than Wolfwood usually makes a habit of travelling, but Vash genuinely seems to be considering it, his chin cupped in a gloved hand as he squints at the departure schedule. They’d cut down on almost a week of travel if they took it, so Wolfwood can certainly see the appeal.

    “What do you think?” Vash asks, straightening. “I haven’t taken a sand steamer in years.”

    “You’re asking me?” Wolfwood raises his eyebrows. Vash glances in his direction, then shrugs, hands dropping to his sides.

    “I mean, yeah. You keep a better eye on our budget than I do. Think we can swing it?”

    There’s—nothing weird about Vash’s reasoning, but Wolfwood still finds himself frowning.

    ---

    Travelling with Vash comes with a handful of freedoms, many of which Wolfwood has no idea what to do with.
