Summary
He swears he can smell burning trees, burning flesh, stark against the crisp cold of fresh snow. He can hear the howl of beasts, noise that always seems to echo through his dormitory even after he wakes from a nightmare. Olruggio knows it's not the same, knows the harbor is miles and years from Noz. And yet. And yet.
The specifics are lost to him–which twists and turns brought him here, how far away he’s run from the harbor, what finally buckled his knees and brought him down to meet the cool stone of a narrow alley.
In Noz, he’d sought higher ground.
or: Olruggio's past catches up to him, but Qifrey isn't far behind.

Summary
"Qifrey." Olruggio's hands shake, and fingers card through fine white strands of moonlight, as if wanting to remember the memory of its softness. "I love you."
"You always have."
I'd love you to death, if death weren't so cruel.
Qifrey closes the circle—the very air around them seems to sing with magic—before the spell takes its hold. He kisses Olruggio, salt staining their lips.
- Qifrey realizes how deeprooted Olruggio's love truly is.

Summary
“Oh, Olly,” he says, his voice thick with emotion—the kind Olruggio has long since learned to ignore. It has become so familiar that it takes him a moment to recognize it now. So it comes as a surprise when Qifrey lifts a hand to his cheek, gently brushing his thumb across it.
Olruggio remembers what it is like to love Qifrey. It is in moments like these, when there is no oxygen left in his lungs, that he doesn't need to hold himself back, because any words would be nothing more than wind on his lips. He cannot let Qifrey hear them.
***Or the story of their first kiss—the one that wasn't really their first.

Summary
He thinks it ironic that Olruggio’s kindness is his salvation and his undoing—the link that keeps him alive and the torturous burden that prevents his peace.
He ought to be angry at him. He thinks a part of him is.
But time tempers all emotions, and, even back then, Qifrey couldn’t find the energy to stay angry at him for long. It was Olruggio’s nature, after all, to sacrifice himself on the altar if it meant saving one more life.
(On Olruggio, and the nature of their relationship, as seen by Qifrey.)
