    Summary

    Each chapter is a different slice of life moment from the pov of Qifrey or Olruggio. Starts with Agott coming to the atelier and goes from there. Fluff and love but also a good amount of angst because they are full of angst and yearning and love.

    Spoilers for chapter 88 of the manga.

    -

    “What are you doing?” Qifrey looked up to find Olly standing in the hall, one eyebrow slightly quirked.

    Qifrey meant to say he was fine, that he was just remembering their days as apprentices, that Agott was settling in well, or even that Olly was so good with her.

    What he actually said was, “what if she drowns in the bath?”

    Summary

    Monsters have existed for as long as the dark from whence they came. And too, the fear of them. To hold and harness that fear came humans, and humans developed, as they are wont to do.

    They fight. They teach others to fight. And so it will continue, until someone reigns victorious.

    *

    Qifrey is a monster hunter living outside of Kalhn, still on the search for his former hunting partner, Olruggio, who went missing in action after a fight with a vampire hoard. Although he takes in hunting apprentices and tries to move on, it seems the past can’t help but come back to haunt him.

    Summary

    “Hey there,” the boy softly whispered, his breath condensing in little clouds of white. He lightly poked the baby's cheek. “My name’s Olruggio. Nice to meet you…”

    Or, my take on one of the two people Olruggio managed to save in Noz.

    Summary

    The scene painted itself out in thin air, the eldroxen in their prime rearing their horns against an imaginary threat, their lives a defense for the calves at the centre with their nursing mothers and the feeble, aged beasts in the winter of their time. Olruggio reached out for the illusion that rapidly dissipated into nothingness, his fingers brushing against golden dust.

    Or, Olruggio sees a herd of eldroxen for the first time in his life, and gets a lesson about life up in the North from his father.

    Summary

    The idea that just any witch could become a Watchful Eye was foolish at best and incredibly dangerous at worst. Watchful Eyes needed to be as reliable as one could be to address any troubles whenever they popped up. And the very moment they popped up.

    As such, betas, as the most stable of the secondary genders, were the only designation trusted with this role.

    or: Qifrey's heat comes early on a rainy night. Olruggio knows it's his duty to help.
