Summary
In 2022, Dream of the Endless pays an overdue visit to his old friend Hob Gadling. They go upstairs to Hob’s flat above the pub eventually, when the smiles have faded into stares, when the heat beneath Hob’s skin is too much to bear a moment longer. He has not asked the Stranger’s name; that is a bridge too far, and even after being called as Friend, he can’t bring himself to press. This is already so much more than he ever dared imagine…at least in waking hours.
Now featuring everything it says on the tin plus a battle unicorn.

And You Will Know Regret, aka Lady Hypatia's Always Right by prettyclever
Fandoms: Stream of Blood Presents: The Neptune Society

Summary
If you haven't watched the magnificent Stream of Blood's the Neptune Society on Twitch or YouTube, this will make no sense to you. I was inspired to write this after Jared Logan's ridiculous poll on Twitter about Bigfoot. He egged me on. I would like to thank him and my eternal co-conspirator and beta Clancy Nacht for encouraging this lunacy.
Guy Branum, please forgive me, and know I have loved you since Chelsea Lately. You are an absolute star.

Summary
Comic book author Quentin and his best friend, artist Eliot, have an urgent deadline approaching after Christmas, so when Quentin's boyfriend dumps him right before his sister Julia's winter wedding to longtime girlfriend Kady, Quentin takes Eliot as his plus one. Two weeks in Q's small, idyllic hometown together with Kady, Julia, and Q and Julia's dad Henry Fogg. It'll be a working vacation, right? They'll get those pages finished in no time.
However, shortly after they arrive, extravagant magical portrayals of the 12 Days of Christmas begin arriving daily, addressed to "My One True Love" but lacking any hint of the sender. To uncover the identity of his true love, Quentin embarks on a quest with Eliot's reluctant, amused assistance. Determined but befuddled, Quentin revisits several old flames in hopes of solving the mystery, but is it possible his true love has been right in front of his face the whole time?
This novel-length Queliot Christmas romance features mutual pining, friends-to-lovers, dramatic magical Christmas presents, holiday baking, and domestic fluff, plus many sassy bisexuals.
AKA the "My Christmas Love" Hallmark Christmas AU.

The Qualiot Back to School Makeover Story You Maybe Didn't Need But Got Anyway by charlotteschaos, prettyclever for
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV)
16 Nov 2019
Tags
Summary
Season 1 AU. Premise: Quentin and Alice got together at Brakebills South, things went poorly for Eliot with Mike, and instead of kind of being too wrapped up in themselves to be there for El after he has to kill Mike, Quentin and Alice comforted Eliot. This fixes just about everything. No one else has to die, everything’s good. Nothing is bad. Except Quentin’s very high school fashion sense and Alice’s self-conscious grasp of proportionizing.
This is just a very silly little story about Eliot taking his boyfriend Quentin and his girlfriend Alice back to school shopping so they can be as outwardly fabulous and sexy as they are inwardly. It's ridiculous. It has no point. It's fluff. It was, in fact, supposed to be a drabble, but prettychaos is not known for its short fics.

Summary
For the Magicians Rec Center's AU Week Day 3: 90s Brakebills, AKA the one where El's a goth.
What if Quentin's afterlife was just another life with Eliot? But maybe a different Eliot, who's just as intense as Q? And just as willing to feel things? A romantic willing to take a risk?
What if Q didn't have to fight so hard to be happy?

The One Where Q's Life Partner Wears Margo's Lingerie by charlotteschaos, prettyclever
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV)
23 Aug 2019
Tags
Summary
Set between 3x05 and 3x06, this story dares to ask the question: What if, instead of sending Q off to the Muntjac to find another life partner, Eliot realized he wanted to stay life partners with Quentin and was just too emotionally retrograde to function? What if...bear with us...he went to Margo for advice? What if Margo's advice was to "reserve a dick" by showing up in a man's bed wearing sexy lingerie and seducing him?
Still with us? OK. So what if... Just what if... Quentin got all intense, El got all melty and overwhelmed by all the feelings he won't let himself have, and they just fixed things? While-get this-having some really lovely, if rough, sexy times?
That's this fic.

The Stars Aligned, or the Long, Slow Seduction of Quentin Coldwater by charlotteschaos, prettyclever
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV)
20 Aug 2019
Tags
Summary
Quentin is a smol, adorable puppy of a man, and Eliot is smitten. Margo facilitates Eliot getting what he wants. Quentin doesn't entirely know what to do with himself.
In this s1 AU, there is no Brakebills South Qualice romance, nothing is dangerous or sad, and Eliot and Margo take Quentin on vacation to Encanto Oculto with them. Also, as much as Margo enjoys the whole threesome angle with Quentin and Eliot, she's got her eye on a high-strung supernerd of her own... Alice Quinn.
Please be advised that this has somehow become a fake boyfriends story. I'm sorry/You're welcome.

Summary
What comprises the beauty of all life? Why is Q so convinced he and El are great together? How exactly did Arielle get involved?
Catching feelings for your best friend is complicated.
In which Quentin and Eliot fumble toward ecstasy with a few minor setbacks along the way and end up raising a family together.
This belongs to the same verse (The Peaches Verse) as "It's Never Over" and is the headcanon from which that novel was written, but they're entirely independent.

Summary
In which Eliot and Margo have done all the bangable boys' natal charts and discovered Quentin and Eliot are highly sexually compatible. Also, it's Q's birthday! So Eliot decides Quentin deserves a birthday blowjob. Margo observes.
Season 1 AU, Quentin is single, everyone's okay, and it's finals week at Brakebills. Just brief, happy smut with the hint of more.

The Fake Dating One Where El's Parents Come to Visit by charlotteschaos, prettyclever
Fandoms: The Magicians (TV)
22 Jun 2019
Tags
Summary
In which Eliot’s horrible parents announce they’re coming to NYC to watch a taping of "Live with Kelly and Ryan" and plan to crash at his modest Brooklyn apartment. They call on their way to the Fort Wayne International Airport. Eliot has the space of a plane ride from Indiana to New York to figure out a plan…
All this time he’s told his kin he’s happy and successful, with a live-in boyfriend, raising a family of beautiful culinary herbs together. Most of that is true—except he doesn’t have a boyfriend at all, much less one who lives with him.
Once again, Quentin saves the day.
A Magicians future fic that disregards the last half of 4x13. Quentin saved the day but escaped alive.
Written for Queliot Week 2019's Fake/Pretend Relationship prompt (and posted a little late because life. Also, this bish is long).

Summary
Post-finale fix-it: Fillory Deeper & Harder, the S4 canon-compliant season 5 Queliot fans deserve.
In which Eliot's marginally less afraid of commitment, Quentin is less clueless than he used to be, & Margo is a sassy alpha bitch.
There's sex magicky shenanigans, a giant turtle, talking pegasi, and a plot to overthrow the Dark King and reclaim Fillory, all done Queliot-style.
Soon, all will be well in the world.
COMPLETE.
Note: This belongs to the same verse (The Peaches Verse) as "Sound & Color", but the two works are entirely independent.

Summary
A cut scene to address Quentin's very large omission about Eliot when he was thinking about his love for Fillory to cause the Drowned Garden to bloom.
