    Summary

    “Would you have?” Olruggio says quietly.

    Qifrey frowns. “Would I have what?”

    “Told me. If you had—you know, injured yourself. I’m not sure you would unless you had to,” Olruggio explains. His voice is gentle, his demeanor remains tired, and it’s clear to Qifrey he does not mean it as an accusation. He’s pointing out the obvious.

    Even so, it sinks into Qifrey like stones dropped in stillwater. His mouth wobbles and he ducks his head lower to hide the redness rising to his cheeks and ears. “I would,” Qifrey says. The lie is too easy.

    Summary

    Olruggio was burning, surrounded on all sides by an inferno, betrayed by the flames he always trusted himself to command.

    Something cool brushed his face, a breath of fresh air breaking through the sweltering heat. He turned towards it, reaching for the promise of relief it offered—

    And opened his eyes to Qifrey's worried face, where he was crouched next to Olruggio's bed, hair a silver halo backed by the soft torchlight streaming through the open doorway. Cool fingers pressed against Olruggio's cheeks. The crease between Qifrey's eyebrows deepened.

    "Olly, you're burning up. How long have you had a fever?"

    Summary

    One by one the moments when the girls realized that Master Qifrey and Olruggio were in love. Plus one moment where someone knew their love was not meant to be.
    (also analyzes Qifrey and Olruggio's parental relationship with the girls)

    Unlike all the other apprentices, Riché had immediately assumed that Master Qifrey and Master Olruggio were married. For her, it was a far greater shock to learn that they were not.

    Summary

    “Let’s… ah.” Qifrey took a deep breath and smiled apologetically up at Olruggio, whose contemplative frown remained. “Let’s try again, just to see. Perhaps if I’m the one taking the initiative.”

    Summary

    This place is not a place of honour... No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... Nothing valued is here.

    ࿔*:・༄˖°. ⸙

    Olruggio enters the Forest of Thristas. Disoriented, frozen to the bone and determined to find a group of pointed cap witches who had not returned from an expedition. But ends up being found by something else. Something vague, cold and a little pissed off.

    Summary

    “You should be asleep.”

    Olruggio huffed, setting the kettle down with a clank and immediately wincing at the sound, “Says you.”

    He had a point, as Qifrey was also awake at this unholy hour. What great role models they both made. At least he didn’t make a habit of it, unlike some Watchful Eyes he could name.

    Or: With all the chaos of Coco’s arrival, Qifrey has to stay up late to catch up on work. A very sleep-deprived Olruggio joins him, and Qifrey gets dangerously close to spilling his secrets.

    Summary

    Every so often, even years after Olruggio had accepted Qifrey’s I can’t, that tension between them pulled taut. Olruggio’s eyes were a deep, dark blue, and at night they looked nearly black, even with the lamp casting light onto his face.
    “Sometimes,” Olruggio said, “I feel like you’re hiding something.”

    -
    How Qifrey kept himself carefully, deliberately, painstakingly miserable all these years.

    Summary

    “Would you get mad if I were to say, ‘We told you so’?” Olruggio asked, rubbing disinfectant on Qifrey's scraped knee.

    “Oru, old friend, warmer and dearer than sunshine itself, the gentlest fire I have ever known. My dearest. Yes. Yes, I will be mad.”

    Or, about Qifrey, and about scrapes and scars and treasuring whatever scattered bits of childhood you get to have.

    “From what I remember,” Olruggio says, swirling his glass, “you don’t hold your drink well at all. Wanna put some money on this?”
    “You remember me being thirteen,” Qifrey hums. That same twinkle is in his voice, like he’s amused by a secret. “And I don’t have any money yet. How about a favour?”

    Before him lies a line that must not be crossed, and he has just been handed what is essentially a justification to do so.

    And it would be a lie to say that he isn't tempted.

    Summary

    It's not the same as before.

    He can sort of remember it now, a childish fantasy borne of a broken home and a desperate loneliness, but there's no emotion attached to it beyond a vague sort of pity.

    It's a bit like reading a report:

    Peeta Mellark, 74th Victor of The Hunger Games, in love with Katniss Everdeen since he was five. Unrequited.

    Summary

    It hurts, and meeting Olruggio's gaze would be too telling, so— so Qifrey just focuses on the lines at the corners of his eyes, on the soft creases there from years of smiles and laughter. Qifrey can remember every single one; every sharp grin as they snuck through a window-way, every crinkled smile passed over a stack of assignments, every gentle look made soft with wine.
