    Summary

    Qifrey doesn’t look at him either as he speaks. He only answers as much as he is asked, mechanically recounting the day’s events, being as curt as possible. Nothing about the dishes he’s prepared, or the kids’ achievements, or something funny that might’ve happened during his lessons. Oruggio doesn’t push again, his throat suddenly too tight to get any words out. He just wants to get back into his room and occupy himself with some kind of contraption and not think about the suffocating atmosphere in the atelier.

    They had a fight. It was nearly a week ago.

    Summary

    This man is the only person in the world to know how Qifrey felt about this. The only person in the world Qifrey’s spoken to about how he wishes he could carve his blasted womb out of his body and feed it to scalewolves, when they were young and Qifrey came of age and bled through his robes and sobbed, humiliated and angry.

    Summary

    In this vile symbiosis, perhaps there was an evolution: the parasite has realized it does not wish to kill Qifrey fast, lest it lose its primary source. It has grown slow, ignorable.

    He does not feel it, and he feels it, or is that his eye, the ache in his cranium? What is cause and what is effect, will he unravel, here, in front of his apprentices, his cap a staircase away?

    or, qifrey’s no-good, all terrible dinner.

    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    -

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.

    Summary

    A witch’s pen, ink, and quire are their most important possessions, and to lose even one of their three most coveted components oft renders the ability for a witch to cast null in its entirety. It is a true feat of talent, skill, and practice to be able to write seals upon surfaces different from those meant for a standard, or even specialized, woodcuror wand or dip pen. For a witch to be able to cast without conjuring ink, well that is something that is simply impossible, at least for those of upstanding witch society. Which is why, of all the components that each and every witch uses, each and every day, they always take extra care to keep their ink well stocked, and safe above all else.

    'a witch must never lose their casting components, their ink specifically.' that is the teaching the great hall duly impressed into every young witch's mind.

    Qifrey is not the average witch born of the great hall, though.

    Qifrey will never be left without ink, and this is not a blessing

    Summary

    The child that witches had dug out of ground and grave had no name.

    Maybe he did have a name before, who knows, who can say. Unrelenting earth and cold stone spill no secrets.

    If he did, it was ripped away from him like his eye was, stolen along with his memories, it had long since slipped away from him, washed away by blood and water.

    Or, Qifrey, his name, and the people who say it, over the years.

    Summary

    Qifrey hasn't been to visit since Beldaruit offered Coco a place in his atelier.

     

    MANGA SPOILERS through the first time they meet Beldaruit. Technically takes place after Silver Eve, but doesn't really contain any major spoilers for that arc. Can be read if you are an anime only watcher, but there will be Qifrey backstory spoilers. No chapter 40 or chapter 93 spoilers, though hinted at.

    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

    Qifrey’s eye wanders, meandering down to the way his hand holds the pan’s handle – much the same he wields a pen. Cooking really is a way to brighten the world without the use of special tools and forbidden knowledge.

    Qifrey is getting ready for a picnic.

    A special one, at that.

    She really is just like him, he thinks, watching the faraway look on her face as the healers prance around her. She is just like him. The thought makes him feel sick.

    In which Qifrey and Coco function as a three-way mirror, though the third reflection is still murky.

    Olruggio starts to cough up blue petals. The flowers are soft, trembling things he knows he should despise. But how can he, when they're the exact shade of the eye belonging to the one he loves most in this world?

    Summary

    Olruggio knew, long before it all came crashing down, that he’d made a terrible decision. That the consequences would catch up to him, and there’d be no avoiding a series of potentially world-ending conversations.

    He just hadn’t expected it to happen quite so spectacularly.

    The initial idea, prompted by a suggestion from an older noblewoman who’d commissioned him for something completely different, wasn’t bad at all. He’d been working on a set of singing stones, and the lady had made an offhanded comment about the potential of magic that could make an object resonate. She’d meant it as a joke, but where she saw humor, Olruggio saw potential—and told her as much.

    And just like that, he’d had a commission. And a problem.

    Summary

    Qifrey is reserved with physical affection when it comes to Olly... until he drinks too much

    --

    Olruggio immediately shakes off the thought. As if Qifrey drinks more than a glass or two, and even then, he would nurse it for hours. There has to be another reason, a sickness, an injury. Some forbidden magic during a scuffle with the Brimmed Caps.

    Qifrey’s head plops onto his shoulder, and Olruggio stiffens. “How do you do this every Silver Eve?” he groans. “Every time I look up, the room is moving about.”

    “Aye…well…” his voice trails off.

    Brilliant. Just fantastically, horribly, terribly brilliant.

    "How much did you pay for these?" he asks.

    Ah, just expenses? "Not much," Olruggio says, stepping around the counter to lean against Qifrey's side, arm wrapping around his waist comfortably. "I got a good deal."

    Qifrey relaxes some. He turns his face to nuzzle against Olruggio's neck and he leans his head back in response, giving more room for Qifrey to press against his pulse.

    "Oh dear," Qifrey sighs, turning his face to rub his cheek against Olruggio's cloak. "I'm afraid I have a secret to tell you."

    Summary

    Qifrey runs his hands up Olruggio’s legs, massaging them through the stockings as he goes. The thin barrier between them is hardly helping Qifrey retain a grasp on his composure. If anything, the illusion of chastity makes him more reckless. He kisses Olruggio’s calves, and drinks in Olruggio’s soft sighs. He kisses the backs of his knees, and savors the stifled squeaks of surprise. He kisses the soft skin of his thighs, which push against the tops of the stockings like they’re trying to burst free, and nearly drowns in the low, drawn out moan of a man trying not to. He kisses up the length of Olruggio until he’s slotted between his spread legs, desperately hoping Olruggio will wrap those legs around him, trapping him in place, and desperately knowing he mustn't.

    Olruggio accidentally comes home wearing a maid dress. Qifrey lends him a hand.

    “You’re doing it to make me jealous.”

    Lohen raises his eyebrows like he’s intrigued by Varka’s accusation. 

    “Am I?” He chuckles, amused. 

    Lohen baits. Varka bites.
