time cast a spell on you (but you won't forget me) by peacefrog for miscreants
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV)
07 May 2021
Tags
Summary
Quentin shook out the tension in his hands. He didn’t understand why it wasn’t getting any easier. For days on end he’d been trying to perfect the illumination spell the rest of his fellow First Years had nailed in a matter of hours. But no matter how he tried, Quentin couldn’t seem to make anything more than a spark.
He didn’t know what was worse: that his discipline was apparently shit at magic, or that he’d been placed in the Physical Kids’ Cottage with his ex-whatever-the-hell-they’d-been-in-undergrad because the administration didn’t know what else to do with him. He couldn’t do shit about the latter, but he figured he could at least try and get the basics of magic down before Dean Fogg realized what a grave mistake he’d made in allowing Quentin into Brakebills to begin with.
OR
The one where Quentin and Eliot are exes who had an intense D/s relationship in undergrad.

Your Hearts A Thousand Colors (But They're All Shades of Blue) by ChaoticGayAgenda
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV), The Magicians - Lev Grossman
29 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
Quentin didn’t die after Season 4, but sometimes it feels like he did. He’s drowning in guilt, haunted by blood, slipping into old habits just to quiet his head. Eliot’s been avoiding him—until Margo calls him out and forces him to see the truth.
When Eliot finally does, he remembers the colors, the way they once built a life together piece by piece. And he offers Quentin what he’s always needed: someone else to take the weight, someone who knows exactly how to hold him.

Curses Foiled Again by PhantomNightjar

Tags
Summary
A (sort-of) ex's revenge plot against Eliot has far-reaching unintended consequences.
Or: I wanted to write a one-shot PWP where Quentin and Eliot hook up at a party at the Cottage, but instead I ended up plotting out a full-on season 1 reboot where Quentin doesn't act like a bitter incel, and Julia finds a much less horrifying solution for defeating the Beast.

you want it darker? || dark king eliot by EliotQueliot, victoriaandalbert
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV), The Magicians - Lev Grossman
16 Mar 2025

Summary
Eliot finds among Jane Chatwin’s things perhaps a way to bring back Quentin—but it comes at an enormous personal cost: during the ritual, Eliot is stripped of his Shade completely. Violently ripping the reigning Dark King from the throne, Eliot assumes the mantle of Dark High King—a truly malevolent force who will do anything to get Quentin back. Even if it means he becomes somebody the man he loves won’t recognize when Eliot rescues Quentin from the Underworld. By any means necessary.
—summary from you want it darker? || dark king eliot [graphic + fanmix] by victoriaandalbert
Please note: Yes, this fic goes to some very dark places. Including Q's POV in the Underworld. (Please heed all warnings.) But it's endgame Queliot, AND Queliot do get to see each other, even before Quentin returns to Eliot in life. For reassurance purposes (also smut): there are Queliot reunion scenes in Ch. 3 and 6 currently. And they'll be reunited in Fillory soon.

Summary
When eighteen-year-old Cecily Greenstreet vanishes from her locked bedroom, the only clue is a bloody occult sigil scrawled across her mirror, one that civilian occult expert Quentin Coldwater has seen before. Forced to work with cocky but capable Officer William “Penny” Adiyody, Quentin dives into Sheffield’s shadowy underbelly, discovering old occult circle, and a dangerous figure known only as Reynard pulls strings from the dark.
As tensions spark between skeptic cop and reluctant “psychic,” their uneasy alliance becomes the only thing standing between Cecily and the fate Quentin’s childhood friend barely escaped. The deeper they dig, the more they realize this isn’t just a missing person case, it’s a race against an ancient power, and time is running out.

The very first time, Margo had been worried about it, a little bit. Not about the sex itself, that had been great - but the decision to grab the camera had been spontaneous, Margo scrambling for her phone with Quentin’s head between her legs and Eliot pressed all along her back.

Summary
One second Eliot is unbuttoning his waistcoat, watching Charlton-as-Hyman wrestle his pants off, mentally resigned to doing whatever this is for the rest of the afternoon, and the next he’s on a rocky cliff facing the sea, squinting in the sun as the wind blows his tie over his shoulder.
"Oh, thank fuck," says Margo.
Eliot comes to New Fillory, and everything turns out fine.

Summary
"Yeah," Quentin said, his voice strangled. "My worst nightmare. That tracks."
There was a long pause. "Who would want to fuck with you like that?" Josh asked. "You're... Quentin."
"You'd be surprised," Eliot said, teeth gritted. He was remembering another curse, one that attacked not Quentin's mind but his body, leaving him weak, dying, a year and a half before. He'd nearly lost him then, and he wasn't keen on repeating the experience.
"Apparently I just have one of those curse-able faces," Quentin said, shrugging. It was said like a joke, but his eyes were still anguished.
----
Quentin Coldwater is not losing his mind. Probably. Maybe. Or if he is, it's definitely magic's fault.
Q is forced to watch his worst nightmare unfold right in front of him, and it's up to him, Eliot, and their friends to figure out why.Series

Summary
There’s a layer of dust coating everything in the cottage, like nobody’s been here since them. A thick white film, almost the perfect representation of what their lives ended up being. He swipes a finger along the counter as he goes, a thin streak left behind, as he marvels at the fact that it’s exactly how they left it — despite never having actually been here. Even the lines along the doorway to the kitchen, where Quentin had insisted on marking Teddy’s height; Eliot pauses here, to press his nail into the tallest mark, a soft smile dancing along his lips at the memory of Quentin pouting when they finally had the proof that Teddy had officially grown taller than him.
He swallows down a lump and moves down the short hallway. The door to the bedroom is closed, and he hesitates for a moment, before reaching out and wrapping his hand around the knob. He freezes, a memory flashing of Quentin.

Or, hey there's actually a use for the vial of blood.

Summary
The Brakebills system to find new students is not without its flaws.
There’s a globe on the Dean’s office lighting up with new candidates all around the world every fall, but the spell is old and fraying at the edges, washed up by time and use.
So it should come as no surprise that some people just… slip through the cracks.
Small miracles, parlor tricks, cheap psychs– sometimes, it just goes unnoticed.
There are safe houses, though. Places for those people smart enough to figure it out for themselves to be more. Hedge Witches are everywhere and New York is crawling with them just like it’s crawling with everything else.
*
or, the gang has nothing to do with Brakebill, but they still come together.
Alternatively known: Eliot and Margo's safehouse.

Summary
The knight stood up straighter and nodded. “Yes! I was trained growing up, you know, to be a knight. In magic. And things.”
“And things? Where are you from?”
“Gelderland. A small township. Brilliant but far… far away.”
“Is this your first tournament?” Eliot asked.
“Yes. No! No. It’s not, but it is my first one HERE. In Rouen.” At Eliot’s bewildered expression, the knight continued. “I’m sorry, you’re just… you’re royalty, yes? I’ve never really spoken to any members of the royal families before, and you have really nice eyes and you’re so tall and I’m… going to stop talking now.”
Eliot had to try hard to suppress the grin from forming on his face. Even though what the knight was saying didn’t really make sense (you had to speak to someone in royalty to even become a knight), that didn’t stop the flirtatious tone flowing from his lips. “Please don’t stop. I would hear you speak if it cost me my ears.”
The man’s face had been tinged pink, but at Eliot’s words, they blossomed into full scarlet.
Again, just unable to contain himself, Eliot continued “Are you sure you’re a knight? I don't think I've ever met one that blushed before.”
