    Summary

    It's almost a pity, that the other elves are too afraid of him, of what he reminds them of. They hate him because they fear him, they are ashamed of him because they cannot understand him.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I found this years ago and I don't know how I haven't bookmarked it yet but this is so confusingly beautiful and it's important to me

    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.

    Summary

    { Tomo/Kazuha ※ AU ※ Written for TomoZuha Week }

    The spirit flinched under his touch. For once, though, he didn't pull away, letting Tomo comb through his hair. "Why are you so kind to me?"
    "Do I need a reason?" Tomo said. [...] "I think it's sad to live as you do. Everyone deserves a chance at enjoying life, and no god has the right to trample others as they please."
    Kazuha stiffened on the stool. "If it's pity you feel for me, I don't require it."
    "Yet, you're still here."

    { On his duty to purify a demon, Tomo gets the wrong person and accidentally offends a local forest spirit. Eventually, the two of them manage to form a feeble bond... but things hardly go smoothly for them. }

    Summary

    { Tomo/Kazuha ※ Royalty AU (noble!Tomo/bodyguard!Kazuha) }

    "You know," Tomo snapped at some point, "at least my previous bodyguards talked."
    He didn't picture a precise reaction he'd love to see on Kazuha's face. He was hoping for a pout, an inkling of hurt, or even sheer anger at the indirect criticism. Yet, there was no change in his expression.
    "I apologize if I'm not living up to your expectations."

    { At the ripe age of 24, Tomo thinks he's past the point he needs a bodyguard to follow him around. His family disagrees, and chaos ensues. }
