    Summary

    Sometimes the memories that linger longest, are the ones that seem inconsequential in the moment; and each leaf blown from the burning tree, sends another small fragment away…lost to the endless void.

    “Why, it almost sounds like a dowry. I won’t have to change my surname will I?”

    At his light hearted jab, the Doctor responded swiftly, “make zero mistake, Feofan,” he pressed his fingers along his jaw, using his thumb to tip his head to look at him once more. “I am not giving you away. You are just being moved to a pedestal more suited to your skillset. You belong to me until we both perish.”

    Setting from the first meeting to the last.

    Summary

    “I have a proposal for you,” Dottore says.

    Pantalone swirls the wine in his glass, waiting a moment to see if he follows up with more substantial details on that vague declaration. “And does this proposal necessitate coming onto this trip, rather than submitting the usual forms to my office?”

    “It does, particularly as it pertains to the matter of my will.”

    ---

    Precisely three months after the unfortunate incident on his life, it’s time for Pantalone to get back to field work.

    A matter involving poisoned Fire-Water and millions of unclaimed Mora emerges in Novokitezhgrad, sending him and Dottore on a lengthy train journey to investigate.

    Summary

    Since settling down and taking on apprentices, life at the atelier became quiet again. Maybe not perfect. It could never be perfect. But sometimes just having stability was better than nothing.

    And then, Iguin came back for Olruggio.

    After all, the brimmed caps never forget.

    They simply bide their time.

    Spoilers past Chapter 93, but mostly a divergence from canon. Continuation of the story in Erasing Us.

    Summary

    On the same night Coco receives her first magic book, Olruggio, Qifrey and Agott run into Iguin at the castle festival. Qifrey seizes the chance to pursue the first real lead he’s ever had in his search for the witch connected to his stolen past, leaving a bewildered Olruggio to deal with the fallout when their confrontation turns violent.

    In his desperation to protect Qifrey, Olruggio makes a choice that violates the Pact. As a result, he’s summoned to the Great Hall to answer for both his actions and Qifrey’s as Watchful Eye. There, he realizes that for all his principles and desire to help people, those convictions falter when Qifrey is on the line.

    Or: Olruggio chooses Qifrey over his duty as Watchful Eye, and Qifrey learns why Olruggio is willing to cross lines for him that he’s never crossed for anyone else.

    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.)
