Summary
A series of scenes following the season 4 finale. Warning: NOT A RESURRECTION FIC. Basically, this was my half baked idea of how they might do (part of) a season 5 where they kept the permadeath but still made use of Jason Ralph.

Summary
Apparently I wasn't quite ready to move on from Mon péché mignon (a novel length Q/E work which in turn is the third part of a bigger work, For Want of a Nail. A five-and-one of Q and Eliot playing together.
This takes place between the second to last and final chapters of Mon péché mignon . For people who haven't read it, all you need to know for this mostly stand-alone piece is that Q and Eliot are in an established relationship, kink is a part of their lives, and Q has recently come to realize that they're some flavor of enby, and now goes by "they" pronouns.

Summary
11/27/20
COMPLETE. Comments are love.
*
After the events at Blackspire, Quentin and Eliot settle down together in Manhattan, eventually joined by most of their friends. No external crises on the horizon (or are there...?), no longer in school; they're left with a lot of money and time to explore who they are, what they want, and what they still need to work through--both as a couple and individually.
Along the way: travel, fine dining and wining, kink, friendship, parties, hedonism, friction, self discovery, a mystery or two, and--of course--magic.
This work continues the series For Want of a Nail, an AU serial novel where the Library doesn't succeed in siphoning off magic, and every major character escapes from Blackspire intact. (Including the Monster, but never mind that right now...)
Chapter one picks up a few weeks after Quentin and Eliot's return to New York from New Jersey in Familiarity.

Summary
What if the events in Castle Blackspire had gone slightly differently? How much ripple effect does one choice have?
Centered around a developing Q/E relationship and character development, with an AU version of some of S4's greater crises rumbling in the background.
This series is a single ongoing story broken into chunks, not just an umbrella universe.

Summary
There are vampires in New York. It’s 1888 and Quentin Coldwater, the son of a respectable new-money family, attends yet another soul-crushing society party. The underworld he stumbles upon at this one changes his life forever, and marks the beginning of his connection with Eliot, and Eliot’s companion, Margo—both of them vampires. His dearest friends, Julia Wicker and her fiancé James, are from his perspective none the wiser, but Julia’s own life has also been changed. Quentin learns that the world is both stranger and more horrible than he thought, and along the way he deals with his unspoken arrangement of a high-society match to Alice Quinn; encounters conman medium and real psychic, Penny Adiyodi; and eventually learns of Julia’s entanglement with Kady, a woman newly-cursed with a monstrous affliction.

Summary
Post S5E13 (Fillory and Further)
Finding a way to Fillory seems impossible. But the impossible is what magicians do.
Charlton tries to find himself and what this new life on Earth means, and how he fits into it. He finally looks and feels like himself, but he doesn’t know what his place in this world is.
The isolation of Eliot not being with the rest of his friends is crushing, but sometimes the happy ending comes after the curtain closes. And sometimes, it means having some time to find oneself, to decide who you want to be, rather than who you think you should be.
The key to finding the new Fillory is right in front of them, if they can find a way to use it before it’s too late. A journey to get to Fillory is exactly what Charlton and Eliot need, but it will require all the help their friends can give to get there, and they’ll need each other.

Summary
Just as intrigued as you are, and probably more confused. But I do adore Mrs. True and Miss Adair. This will most likely verge from canon, but what is canon but a mere suggestion?
Amalia and Penance, along with their fellow Touched, try to figure out just what it is they don't know about Maladie and who is truly hunting them.

Summary
When Quentin took over the Great Banquet Hall for his tournament and told Eliot to take dinner in his receiving room, and do all his receiving elsewhere, maybe outside… he wasn't expecting Eliot to listen. And completely destroy Quentin's calm in the process.
(Set in--and then diverts from--chapter 3 of "The Magician King")

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.
