    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

    User 003: Yeah, 3 weeks ago, nearly exploded over being a silverwood host AGAIN, and having to go at everything AGAIN, why

    User 002: A silverwood host??

    User 002: Ok so hold on

    User 002: Custas wouldn't be a silverwood host this soon right

    User 002: …

    User 002: MASTER QIFREY???????

    User 003: Hold on

    User 003: 'Master' Qifrey?

    User 003: COCO?????????

    User 001: Just my fucking luck.

     

    Olruggio rubbed his eyes, just to make sure that he still wasn't hallucinating. And then pinched himself to make sure that he wasn't dreaming. Hurt like hell, so not a chance he was.

    Nope. The strange paper-thin slate thing was still there.

    Aka, someone behind the System wants to help, and chooses to do so via shoving specific people's future selves back into their own old bodies in the past, and selectively allowing some other people to see them interact in the System's chat room. Naturally, some major derailing, a lot of heart attacks for some, and overall just a lot in general, occurs.

    The rest of the world, not privy in the chat, watches on with mostly pure confusion.

    Summary

    Qifrey is free of The Curse™, but it leaves him with low vision. He adapts with a little help and some nifty new contraptions from his smart and awesome apprentices. He also finally gets to have good things, like way too much wine and the best friend he's longed after for ages.

    Or: I write out my ideal post-canon for my beloved family. I am un-dooming them from the narrative because I'm too impatient for Shirahama to do so herself in 10 years. Characterization/plot leans sweeter and less tragic. I like my imaginative whimsy and queer joy!

    Anime-onlys read at your own risk.

    Summary

    The Knights’ cloaks are the color of an open wound against the walls of the atelier, their pennants like exposed bones. They look at him like Olruggio has committed a crime he cannot remember. Maybe he has.

    They do not tell him who Qifrey is, even when he asks. They do not tell him much of anything.

    Olruggio thinks he can figure it out from the empty space.
