    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    -

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.

    Qifrey has passed his five tests. His plans for an independent Atelier have been approved. There is only one problem: the Great Hall would very much like him to choose literally anyone other than Olruggio as his Watchful Eye.

    Summary

    “Master Olly, is it possible for a fire to burn only one thing?”

    “Only one thing?”

    “You know, like the fire you made for the Silver Eve festival. But instead of a fire that doesn’t hurt anything, one that only burns one thing.”

    “What is it you’re wantin’ to burn?”

    Coco’s smile wavered, her animated hands falling to her side, twisting worriedly into her skirt. “Master Olly, I have to tell you something.”

    ——

    Or: What if Qifrey’s tree problem could be solved by letting Olruggio throw a Molotov cocktail at it.

    Summary

    Women in the dining hall would send Olly secret little smiles. The braver sort of witch would fall into step beside him and ask about Silver Eve, or push for earnest advice on their own personal contraptions - and show their appreciation by quietly asking him out for a drink. Handsome shopkeepers would lean forward across their counters full of wares and wink.

    Qifrey witnessed these valiant attempts firsthand, often from steps away, as if he didn’t exist. He filed each exchange away, hands clasped neatly in front of him, his face a mask of mild politeness.
