    Summary

    Towards the heavy sky their voices, tense like drawn bowstrings, rose in unison. “Three… two… one, go!”

    Their pens flared in twin arcs, closing their circles.

    Qifrey was forced to squeeze his eye shut against the initial flare of light, but the ragged pillar of radiance tearing towards the clouds seemed to imprint itself against the inside of his eyelid anyway, leaving a ghostly afterimage. When he could squint to watch the thing directly, his breath caught in his throat.

    The first proper trial run of the boilfire dragon spell seen in the Leech Arc!

    Summary

    The first time Agott Arklaum met the infamous former apprentice of the Wise of Teachings Beldaruit, like most things in her life, it was a stroke of luck that happened by chance.

    It was a day she learnt the colour grey was rather gentle and warm despite its ashy hue, unlike the coldness of blue that she never got to wear.

    Summary

    The truth would always be unearthed and born again, split and replanted until the world Qifrey knew would be unrecognizable to him. It would be the end of everything. It would be the end of them.

    _

    Qifrey's past surfaces. Olly is always there for him, despite everything.

    Summary

    Every year, without fail, an ivory envelope, decorated with blue ribbons at its corners, would appear at the doorstep of his atelier. He would retrieve it from the ground after it announced itself by dropping itself with a soft yet dramatic thud on the floor. The inside would be more intricate than its envelope, lines of golden lace lining the sides, ending at its corners, as his named stared up at him in calligraphic black. At the times he was awake, Olruggio would slip behind him, his warmth like a fire on a cool winter’s day.

    “Another one?” He would ask, lingering behind Qifrey slightly.

    “He sends one every year,” Qifrey would reply.

    For his own reasons few know, including the sender, Qifrey ignores the invitation he gets every year to the Crescent Star Ball. Until this year when he's finally persuaded by his apprentices.

    Summary

    It started with a simple question: What's the nature of their professors' relationship? To say it snowballed from there would be a gross understatement. The answer is much more complex than the girls were anticipating.

    A.k.a an exploration of witch courtship and tradition through the lens of young witches in the past and present.

    Summary

    Olruggio has always been kind.

    He is intelligent. Perceptive. Infuriatingly good at dancing.

    Beautiful, charismatic, endlessly patient.

    Olruggio is perfect.

    Unfortunately, Qifrey is not the only one who has noticed.

    ________________________

    Or when Qifrey had long accepted one simple truth: Olruggio was dangerously easy to love.
    Which would have been manageable… if everyone else in the world had not apparently come to the exact same conclusion.

    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Summary

    Something about this festival always wiped her energy. It all added up: the pennant dance, the tension in her body from being constantly on guard, the hours of walking. It had already been a year since the last Silver Eve—since her skipped patrol shift, since Alaira—and she hadn't been looking forward to another one. But it had come and gone quickly, time passing through her, and now there was only one day in the festival left.

    She had no idea how Easthies did it. He was clearly spurred by something even more deeply-rooted than her.

    Luluci and Alaira meet at Silver Eve. Things begin to change irreversibly.

    Qifrey and Olly had been inseparable, from the moment they met. This is a constant in their lives, steady and dependable. It surprised nobody when the pair went off into the countryside together, hand in hand as they'd always been.

    Summary

    It held all the hallmarks of a fairytale dream, but to Qifrey, a man who had abandoned all fantasies against the cruel waves that drowned the world, it was the make of ruin.

    The Duke held his gaze in a way that made it impossible to deny the implausible: Olruggio of Ghodfrey intended for him.

    "Lord Qifrey," the Duke said, and dropped to his knee with a confidence that spoke of no doubts. "Will you permit me the honour of your hand in marriage?"

    When Qifrey receives an unexpected proposal from the most powerful stranger in the kingdom, he has no choice but to agree.

    Or: a historical AU inspired by otome isekai manhwa, featuring Qifrey as wary bride and Olruggio as cold Duke of the North.

    "Plus," she stepped away from him, "all of those escapades you and Olruggio have at night? Don't think that some of our fellows haven't caught onto that. They’ve actually been spreading rumours about you guys—"

    "What kind of rumours?" He didn't dare take a step forward, yet the question just slipped through with no hesitation. Alaira turned around and giggled under her breath, most probably at the sight of an incoming blush painting his features.

    She poorly covered her growing grin, "Ah, you know—Run of the mill." Glaring at her, she gave in and braced for any possible impact, be it verbal or even magical, "Some would say—or so I heard—that you guys are going out together at night to make up for lack of privacy in the Halls."

    "Make up for lack of—We're not together!"

    Summary

    What did their life look like from Olruggio’s eyes, Qifrey wondered. Did he too lie awake and restless long after saying goodnight, wondering why he slept alone?… How did moths, so entranced by the light of fire, know to stay far enough away lest that flame hurt them? Was it some primordial memory that survived passed down on instinct?

    Perhaps Olruggio was the same; maybe even now he wished to confess his secret feelings but some instinct deep down whispered, “turn back, don’t get too close - it will hurt you.”

    · · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

    Olruggio invites Qifrey to a party. Sadly, Qifrey has a wonderful time.
