Summary
Quentin Coldwater is trying to figure out what he wants from life. Everyone around him seems to be stepping off into adulthood with career success and personal accomplishments; his childhood best friend is even getting married. And then there’s the Eliot of it all— Eliot Waugh, Quentin’s friend, confidant, found family member... who he’s been sleeping with for the better part of a year. Eliot’s the only person in Quentin’s life not trying to push him in one direction or the other, but it may turn out that Eliot’s the person he wants to build his future around after all.

Summary
Quentin is, of course, still curled in a ball when Eliot glides down beside him. He moves slowly so as not to spook the poor thing, and it takes three gentle coughs from his throat before Quentin finally lifts his head from his hands, blinking at Eliot with a blank expression.
Eliot gives him a small, hopefully genial smile. “Mind if I join you?”
“Oh, Jesus Christ.” Quentin rolls his eyes back and slams his head into the wall.
—
Eliot Waugh has been captivated by Quentin Coldwater since the moment their eyes first met. Unfortunately, their eyes first met while Eliot was hooking up with Quentin’s boyfriend.
It’s not exactly Casablanca.

Summary
Between slipping grades and an explosive break-up, Quentin's first year at Brakebills was coming to a miserable close—and that was before the Beast attacked. Now everyone's cancelling their summer plans to join in the fight against an existential threat, Fillory is both real and much deadlier than in the books, and it turns out Quentin sucks as much at battle magic as he does at everything else. As the war drags on, dying in battle starts to seem like the best possible outcome, the answer to all his problems: one shining moment of glory, and then he's finally free. It's a foolproof plan—until he wakes up and has to do it all over again.
(Or: An action movie about wanting to die, with time loops.)

Summary
It is stupid and dangerous, and yeah it is, but to Quentin, it is worth it. It is worth everything to get Eliot back. Worth his life, worth magic, all of it. But, it doesn't work. He doesn't even know what happened to Eliot, if the Monster is still there or if Eliot was even okay.
You don't deserve to know.He tells himself.
It's your fault, it's your fault, it's your fault.
He knows this, they all know this. So Quentin disappears.- Language:

Summary
"The Curse of the Lover's Touch," Kady said, slapping down a piece of paper on the bedside table next to Q. Her lip actually curled as she said it, as she seemingly realized how nauseating the name was.
"It's actually pretty simple. Hedges usually only bother with it when they think someone is unloved and alone, because it's a double-whammy, see? You start dying, slowly and painfully, and you also get the knowledge that if you weren't such a dickhead and you had true love in your life, you'd be totally fine."
Q gets cursed, and Alice can't help. Magic forces Q and Eliot to cuddle and talk about their feelings.

Summary
When El had asked him, Quentin had hesitated, because even at the tender age of fourteen, he’d been well aware of the way his heart and body reacted to Eliot’s very presence. He’d wondered, painfully often, what it would be like to place his hands along the expanse of Eliot’s ribs, how it would feel to press their lips together. And doing what they had done, binding themselves together forever more… it meant he’d never get to find out.
(First, Eliot and Quentin end up together for the rest of their lives. Then, those lives get a lot more complicated.)- Language:

Summary
In short, Quentin — neurotic, depressive, insecure, inexperienced, nerdy, dyspeptic Quentin Coldwater — fucked more or less like any other red-blooded American male between the ages of seventeen and twenty-nine.
Eliot could not begin to explain why he found this… so excruciatingly hot.
(Or: Eliot wants to be helpful. Quentin wants to get tied up. A story about things which can get tangled.)

Summary
By the time Eliot is back in his body and is released from the infirmary, Quentin is still asleep.
No, not asleep. Quentin is still in a coma. And Eliot put him there. The horrifying part, the part that pierces into him like barbed wire around his heart, his lungs, his abused liver... the part that makes him feel like he's made of electrical fencing, is that he remembers all of it.
He remembers every mark the Monster made on Quentin: every cut, every puncture, every punch, every burn. He remembers the feel of Quentin's bones breaking under the grip of his hands. He remembers the taste of Quentin's blood, as the Monster dragged Eliot's tongue over the open wounds he had imprinted into Quentin's skin with a shard of glass. He remembers the sounds Quentin made, broken moans and agonized cries. He remembers the choking and retching when Quentin started coughing up blood, and he remembers Quentin begging, begging for Eliot to wake up, to please wake up so the Monster couldn't hurt him anymore.
____
The Monster took Quentin hostage and tortured him for a month. The boys both have a lot of healing to do.

Summary
Are they forever going to be crashing through each other’s lives like this? They can’t quite seem to converge without a stomach-swerving sort of chaos—not in this world, in this timeline. Certainly not intentionally and mutually, or without shame, regret and shouldn’t haves. So many mistakes that surely didn’t add up to anything worth learning from. Because of course he shouldn’t have slept with Eliot and he shouldn’t look at him either. Not the way he wants to. The way he knows he always has, even when Alice was right there, sharp-eyed and silent, watching Quentin want things he couldn’t have.
Quentin never has been very good at stopping himself from wanting.
Or: Quentin and Eliot have a lot to work out before they can find their way back to one another. And then a whole lot more after that.

Summary
Through some turn of events he barely remembers now, Eliot is in Penn Station, in a trance as he follows Quentin’s careful instructions about what ticket to buy so that they can change at Newark Station and get a bus from there. Apologetic the whole time, like he’s sorry about putting Eliot through this experience, like Eliot didn’t basically kick down his door and demand to be part of a family holiday. After he’s sure that Eliot’s got it, he is sorry again about having to dash to the bathroom before the train, which is actually quite welcome because it gives more time for Eliot to disassociate in peace about what the fuck he’s doing right now.
After Encanto and Brakebills South, Margo is off to surburban Illinois to play supportive girlfriend at Thanksgiving, leaving Eliot pissy and lonely enough to agree to spend it at chez Coldwater. Platonically, of course. They're friends. This is something friends do.

Summary
In a world where only Magicians present with sexual designations, Alphas Margo Hanson and Eliot Waugh had two main rules: no omegas and no undesignated first years.
Obviously, they had a third rule. But it didn't need reiterating: Margo and Eliot came first. They were a unit.
They keep their habit of seducing first year Brakebills boys to presented Betas and Alphas and outside of their own dynamic the duo don't really have friends.
When first-year Quentin Coldwater shows up all doe-eyed, Eliot is surprised when he worms his way under his skin and Margo can barely admit that she can't get him out of her head. Quentin is mostly oblivious, as usual.
What happens when Margo and Eliot get to know Quentin while waiting for him to present?
The duo wasn't looking for a regular, let alone a committed third, at least as far as Margo knew.
What happens when Quentin finally presents? Far later than most magical adepts, in the middle of the cottage sitting room?

The problem Quentin has is that he never fucking knows when he's going into heat until it's on him.
The problem Eliot has is that, while spared the worst of dumbass alpha behavior, he has really strong protective instincts.

Summary
The guy did not look anything like Quentin would expect a tattoo artist to look like. There was maybe a hint of punkiness in the shape of his hair, it sort of put Quentin in mind of a rockabilly thing, almost? With the height and the artfully dangling curls and all. But his long, lanky form was wrapped in a crisp white button-down and tan waistcoat, and as he came out from behind the counter to show Quentin to a binder, he revealed matching slacks. For a pop of color, he was wearing a forest-green tie that brought out the green in his eyes.
Not that Quentin had been looking, or anything.

"Wwwwhy do you smell so good."
"I don't know," Quentin lied.
Its nose was up under his hair now, scenting him, making him flinch away. "This body thinks you smell like mine."
What do you do when your ex-permanent mate's body still remembers you, and you're going into heat?

Set in a world where they're just regular magic college students. My working title for this was Quentin Coldwater; high maintenance sub and Eliot Waugh; doting service top and I feel like that's all you need to know, really, because it sure aint like there's any plot to see here.
