    Summary

    Qifrey is reserved with physical affection when it comes to Olly... until he drinks too much

    --

    Olruggio immediately shakes off the thought. As if Qifrey drinks more than a glass or two, and even then, he would nurse it for hours. There has to be another reason, a sickness, an injury. Some forbidden magic during a scuffle with the Brimmed Caps.

    Qifrey’s head plops onto his shoulder, and Olruggio stiffens. “How do you do this every Silver Eve?” he groans. “Every time I look up, the room is moving about.”

    “Aye…well…” his voice trails off.

    Brilliant. Just fantastically, horribly, terribly brilliant.

    Summary

    It isn't until Easthies's palm cracks like lightning against his cheek that it occurs to Qifrey that no one has ever hit him before. Not like this. Not in the face. Not, he thinks with a wry grin and blood on his teeth, that he can recall.

    Summary

    “Olruggio,” Qifrey starts, but it’s barely a whisper.

    “If you don’t want to, please pull away.”

    Olruggio hates him.

    Qifrey won't be honest with his feelings and Olruggio knows

    Summary

    “Can you show me?” Qifrey asks, feigning just a little of his frustration. Running his fingers up and down his own neck only feels marginally less stupid than Olruggio lying isolated beside him, his want palpable.

    “Show you?” Olly’s voice is thready.

    “Yes,” Qifrey replies, tilting his head to look at Olly until his gaze is met. “I’ll follow you.”

    -

    or; olruggio shows qifrey the best ways to get off. nothing, at all, goes wrong.

    Summary

    For as long as Qifrey could remember, he’d never properly understood the ferocity with which others felt this sort of thing. He’d reasoned that it was simply that he could not entertain it; true pleasure, and the kind of comfort that he imagined should come with it, had always been far from his reach.
    Except, Qifrey could have it now, if he wanted. Qifrey felt quite certain that Olruggio would entertain it, if asked in earnest; his evidence lay in a decade’s worth of stolen glances.

    -
    Free from the affliction he's carried with him since childhood, Qifrey realizes his lifelong struggles with desire run deeper than a curse. Olruggio meets him in the middle as best he can.

    Summary

    Every so often, even years after Olruggio had accepted Qifrey’s I can’t, that tension between them pulled taut. Olruggio’s eyes were a deep, dark blue, and at night they looked nearly black, even with the lamp casting light onto his face.
    “Sometimes,” Olruggio said, “I feel like you’re hiding something.”

    -
    How Qifrey kept himself carefully, deliberately, painstakingly miserable all these years.

    Summary

    “Hey, little witch, we need some help over here.”

    If Olruggio hadn’t stopped to admire a display of beautiful lanterns—crafted by hand, not magic—in a shop window, he might not have heard the call. Something about it sent a dark chill crawling up his spine, and he snapped his head up just in time to see Tetia, trailing a little behind Qifrey and the rest of the girls, pause and turn toward the mouth of the alley.

    And that pause was all that was needed for an arm to snatch out and pull Tetia out of sight.

    Summary

    “Master Olly, is it possible for a fire to burn only one thing?”

    “Only one thing?”

    “You know, like the fire you made for the Silver Eve festival. But instead of a fire that doesn’t hurt anything, one that only burns one thing.”

    “What is it you’re wantin’ to burn?”

    Coco’s smile wavered, her animated hands falling to her side, twisting worriedly into her skirt. “Master Olly, I have to tell you something.”

    ——

    Or: What if Qifrey’s tree problem could be solved by letting Olruggio throw a Molotov cocktail at it.

    It takes Olruggio a while to register it, that Qifrey doesn’t smile.

    Summary

    It was a shirt, if it could be called as much, diaphanous, sheer and delicate, embroidered on the shoulders and tailored to hang in sheets of fabric so thinly woven he could barely make out the individual threads. Not a shirt then, almost more of a cloak or a drape. It fluttered in the warm breeze, and, not knowing what to make of it, he set it carefully aside and peered once more into the box.

    Summary

    Qifrey’s formal robes were a piece of art in their own right. Bankrolled by Beldaruit as a final graduation gift, they were a pale smoke, nearly white, and from what Olruggio could remember the golden embroidery was a sight to see. It vined along the bottom hem and wrapped organically around his throat, and when Olly had seen them for the first time he hadn’t known what to say. Qifrey had stepped forward to speak to him and he’d simply stared until gently reminded that he was still, in fact, capable of speech.

    (Truthfully, just an elaborate set piece to put both dads in formal robes for an evening.)

    Summary

    He understands. Of course he does. If he were to write out the deepest desire of his heart onto pages like a poet deeply in love, it would become a melody sung across the four corners of the land. But it's condemned to remain only a dream, a heart locked in chains like a box that cannot be opened.

    "Qifrey, say something," says Olruggio, faintly. Even now, even in this desperate state, he's as gentle, as thoughtful as ever. Even while wanting him to answer, his words offer Qifrey the space to shatter his heart, the gap to slip away into, to flee.

    "You understand me, don't you?" he asks once more.

    The one time Qifrey attempts to leave.

    Summary

    They lay there in the dark and Olruggio thought that this was the most content he'd ever been in his life. He thought that he could stay here forever. He could fall asleep just like this every night, with Qifrey's heartbeat beneath his ear and Qifrey's hand in his hair.

    "Will you remember this?" Qifrey asked.

    A strange thing to ask, he was not that drunk. Olruggio frowned. "What?"

    "Tomorrow, will you remember this?" Qifrey's thumb brushed his cheekbone. "In the morning, will you remember?"

    ☆ Qifrey and Olruggio are traveling back to the Great Hall when they stop at an inn for the night. There's only one bed, Olruggio is slightly drunk, and Qifrey keeps asking if he'll remember.
