    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

    “You, uh. Sure know your way around a CRT,” Tenna says. “I didn’t know you were a mechanic.”

    “I sell cars,” Spamton had replied, back when Tenna was addressing him. “If you talk [Big] with nothing to back it up, people think you’re a hack.”

    “Well,” Tenna said, “are you?”

    Spamton sprayed the compressed air into his smug face.

    That would have been preferable to drowning in insulation foam and getting licked clean by a clown (“HANDS OFF THE [[Officil Merchandise]]!!”). Jevil’s nuisance was missed as soon it was over though, because then all he had was the realization that that was his last chance. To do what, he isn’t sure. To demand an apology. To explain why he ran away. To scream at him. To break that stupid screen himself, just to get it over with, and crawl inside there never to emerge. Then at least they’d be together.

    An unseen, silent, approximately 4 foot tall individual takes it upon himself to fix the fallen Lord of the Screens. To raise a middle finger to the mysterious phone-calling, prophecy-defining benefactor who screwed him over and made him a living puppet, of course. No other reason.

    Summary

    Olruggio has always been kind.

    He is intelligent. Perceptive. Infuriatingly good at dancing.

    Beautiful, charismatic, endlessly patient.

    Olruggio is perfect.

    Unfortunately, Qifrey is not the only one who has noticed.

    ________________________

    Or when Qifrey had long accepted one simple truth: Olruggio was dangerously easy to love.
    Which would have been manageable… if everyone else in the world had not apparently come to the exact same conclusion.

    Summary

    “You sure you wanna look at me like that?” Olruggio peered at him from over the top of the book, hair mussed, a single brow raised.
    -
    Qifrey does his best to keep his inner feelings carefully contained, but it's hard to be perfect all the time.

    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.
