    Summary

    “Qifrey?”
    The softly spoken voice is barely audible over the sound of rustling leaves and the barely-contained sniff emanating from the other side of the fire.
    “Qifrey, I know you’re still awake.”
    The sleeping bag across from Olruggio makes a disgruntled noise and shifts, further proving his point.
    “Do you wanna talk about it?”

    OR
    Qifrey has a hard time falling asleep without a spell from Master Beldaruit, so Olruggio tries to help him out.

    Summary

    Qifrey listened to the chatter, the comments, the passing remarks. He felt the ground steady beneath his shoes as he walked from heel to toe, never quite daring to lift his sole up from the glowing stones. Though it stretched the journey out for longer, none saw fit to hurry him. If anything, both Coco and Agott seemed eager to take their sweet time running off to whatever sights caught their interest before drifting back.

    Were Qifrey to turn his gaze upward, all he would find were dazzling lights spattering the city's narrowed skyline, akin to a pond reflecting a swarm of pyreflies as he sat at the bow of a rickety, old boat. Such brilliance wasn't reserved for the grandeur of Silver Eve, rather the sway of the moon, no matter the occasion. It was nothing new, yet...

    Charming as the lights were, they now served to only worsen the ache in his temples. How his eye stung so fiercely were he to stare too long at any particular light too bright, piercing through his skull as the Silverwood does—

    Adjusting to life outside of a cursed fate is difficult, but familiar company and familial connections make it a fair bit easier.

    Summary

    There was a trail of Qifrey’s blood from the entrance to the door the doctor had disappeared through.

    Luckily, he didn’t have long to stand there, numb. The girls appeared moments later.

    Olly swallowed, hating that he needed to ask questions from them right now, but also desperately needing to know how yet another test had gone so sideways. He cleared his throat, getting the attention of all four apprentices, and eloquently managed to ask, “…what happened?”

    -

    Qifrey and Olruggio figure out what life looks like after the silverwood seed is gone. Fair warning, it starts with a good amount of angst but moves into lots of comfort. Full of yearning all the way through.

    You definitely don't have to read the earlier bits in the series - it's all just a series of Olruggio and Qifrey yearning.

    Summary

    Each chapter is a different slice of life moment from around the atelier. It starts with Agott's arrival and goes post-deforestation. Lots of yearning and then figuring things out between Orufrey and love between everyone as their family grows.

    -

    “What are you doing?” Qifrey looked up to find Olly standing in the hall, one eyebrow slightly quirked.

    Qifrey meant to say he was fine, that he was just remembering their days as apprentices, that Agott was settling in well, or even that Olly was so good with her.

    What he actually said was, “What if she drowns in the bath?”
