    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.)

    Summary

    Qifrey and Olly have to talk about crushes in order to comfort Coco after she gets turned down.

    You don't have to have read the first in the series, but its short and backgrounds some of this conversation.

    -

    “I… I feel so embarrassed," Coco whined, blinking rapidly before swiping at her tears again. Qifrey quieted the urge to take the kerchief and treat her more gently than she was treating herself. He settled for smoothing strands of her hair away from her flushed face.

    Something about Olly’s phrasing, or tone, perhaps, caught in Qifrey’s mind.

    “I know,” Olly soothed again, his hand still tracing down her back and over the tips of Qifrey’s fingers. “Trust me, I know. But it’ll pass.”

    “You… someone turned you down?” She peered at Olruggio, biting her lip when he nodded. The snag in Qifrey’s mind ripped into a gaping hole.

    Summary

    The role of Watchful Eye was born from a place of distrust, and yet Olruggio had chosen it anyway so he could stand between Qifrey and the Council if it ever came down to it.

    After Qifrey passes the Fifth Pentagram Test, he and Olruggio find themselves at a crossroads as they have a heart-to-heart about their futures as independent witches. This is Qifrey’s chance to leave Olruggio behind and free him from a burden he doesn’t remember carrying, but Olruggio isn’t having it.

    Or: How Olruggio came to take on the mantle of the Watchful Eye at Qifrey’s atelier.

    Summary

    "Uh," Pidge said, "Lance? Buddy? What's the deal?"

    "That's Lance?" Hunk shouted, somehow still ramming ships away from the castle; Keith felt like bubbles were bursting in his head, effervescent pops of giddy fear mixed with conviction. Lance, he thought, Lance feels like this. "Thank God, I thought I was going crazy for a second."

    Summary

    Lance quickly finds Keith’s communication signal and hits call.

    A few seconds later, he realizes what he’s just done, panics, and immediately slams the 'end call' button.

    “Shit!” he hisses through his teeth, throwing the tablet on the bed and recoiling away from it like it’s a poisonous snake rather than innocent alien technology. Its screen goes blank again, wiped clean the way he wishes his impulsive action could be. “What am I doing?
