    Summary

    And of course there is an instant, after that first warm touch of Olly’s lips upon his own, where Qifrey feels a terrible tingling sensation within him and remembers his parasite. Where Qifrey remembers his silverwood, the tyrant that rules his body with an iron fist, and thinks, with a sinking sense of foreboding, that he is risking its awakening and his own impending death with this decision.

    And then Olly’s hand flies up to bury itself in Qifrey’s hair. And then Olly’s arm wraps around his waist, and pulls him in flush against Olly’s chest. And then Olly’s tongue sears hotly across the seam of Qifrey’s lips, and Qifrey parts them for Olly’s entrance with a moan.

    I love you, he thinks, and he remembers who the real tyrant is. The silverwood may one day take Qifrey’s body, but there's only one being in the world who rules his heart.

    ~*~

    On the last night of the Golden Eve Festival, Qifrey and Olruggio share a bed.

    Summary

    It's Beldaruit's 47th birthday, and quite possibly the worst day of Qifrey's pathetic existence thus far. Everything smells like cake. He's wearing a stupid glittery party hat. Worst of all, Olly is by his side, shining brighter than ever.

    Stars above. He's not going to make it.

    Summary

    There is no cure for the silverwood, but that doesn't mean there isn't any hope. Olruggio helps Qifrey through a new treatment to tame the parasite inside him.

    -

    Olruggio starts like he always does, “I’ve got you. You’re safe. I forgive you.” He punctuates each statement by running his nails gently across Qifrey’s scalp.

    The silverwood tree sprouts.

    Summary

    Olruggio comes home from a business trip, visibly troubled. Qifrey, with expensive wine in hand, is determined to get to the bottom of what's upsetting his very best friend. Unfortunately for both of them, the sharing of Olruggio's experience in the Great Hall may have more consequences for the two of them than he could have possibly thought of.

    Or, Olruggio recieves an offer for an arranged marriage. Qifrey's first instinct is to clutch at his skirts and beg him to stay in their atelier forever, but the Silverwood has other plans...

    Summary

    Beldaruit and Qifrey - and so naturally also Olruggio - over the years in the Great Hall. Also, for any interested parties, the middle scene is Qifrey coming home after the Tower of Tomes and all that entails. If that means nothing to you, I would not read this.

    -

    “Exactly.” Beldaruit sounds softer when he says, “kisses are a sign that two people are very close, or are interested in becoming very close. A parent might kiss their child on the head to soothe them, or the cheek to make them laugh. A friend, too, might kiss a cheek as a sign of affection.”

    “Oh, so like Olly?” Qifrey brightens a little. It doesn’t sound so bad being that close to Olly, although the lips bit still sounds pretty disgusting.
