    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

    Olruggio doesn’t think Qifrey likes physical touch at all, but now that the curse is gone, the white-haired man immediately decides that Olruggio’s personal space is his personal property, and he is burrowing into his ribcage, thank you very much.

    Summary

    Qifrey had left in the middle of the night, secretly, as if Olruggio wouldn’t notice.
    He returned hours later, barely able to stand, blood everywhere.

    The sad thing was that it wasn’t the first time. Qifrey's skin was covered in scars, places where flesh had been torn apart and carefully stitched back together by Olruggio, every time, it had been him who took care of it.
    Olruggio had always treated every injury without complaint, years and years intertwined so completely that he no longer knew where his own life ended and Qifrey’s began.

    “Olly” Qifrey said quietly “look at me. You can do this”
    “You don’t get to say things like that right now, not when you’re the one bleeding to death in front of me”

    That night, though, everything changed.

    Summary

    Olruggio wrapped his arms around Qifrey’s waist and pulled him close. He rested his chin on Qifrey’s shoulder, warm and real and solid. Qifrey returned the gesture, his eye sliding shut. He let out a breath. They remained that way for a long while, leaning against each other. This could not ease Qifrey—he’d managed a delicate balance that allowed him to indulge in these small ways while retaining his ever-present fear—but Olruggio’s weight became heavier and heavier as he relaxed into it.

    Qifrey could do these things for Olruggio; he could take care of him, though it would never make up for everything that he had done.
    -
    Qifrey and Olruggio build themselves a home. The days pass in the closest thing to domestic bliss that Qifrey can manage. It cannot last.

    Summary

    Oruggio watches, enraptured, as Qifrey positively glows at his words. And suddenly he feels like he’s the one on the verge of tears now. He feels like he’s stepped foot on sacred ground, has bowed his forehead before a temple that shines with all the brilliance of the moon and received its blessing.

    I’m marrying him, Oruggio reaffirms to himself. From enduring friendship to the rest of forever with him. Anything else would be too bitter, too little.
