    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.

    So intimate

    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.

    Summary

    Qifrey was foolish to think that he could be rid of Olruggio. Like the stars whose lights travel across the vast oceans of the universe to decorate the night sky, they are too bright to dim. Too constant to ignore. Too beautiful to forget.

    He's the star that the silverwood within him is forever searching for. The smile that he lets himself dream about. The name whose mere mention is enough to grasp his attention, so fully and involuntarily, like a starved man to promise of food.

    It was inevitable that he should overhear; even when whispered in hushed, excited tones, huddled together. "Did you hear? Olruggio of the Torch is to be wed!"

    Summary

    There was a goose. A real, live goose. One with black feathers. All right. That was odd. Qifrey blinked. The bird didn’t move. Admittedly, this situation was quite unprecedented, but he wasn’t anything if not accommodating to guests in his home.

    “Oh. Hello there.” He said kindly. Animals weren’t stupid, they knew when a person meant them no harm, and Qifrey was anything but a threat. He tilted his head then hummed, “How’d you get in here? I don’t mind the company for a little while since my usual late-night companion is off on a trip.” He motioned towards the magical device behind himself. “Tea?”

    All of a sudden it was like a switch flipped. The goose totally freaked out. It honked wildly and charged Qifrey. He yelped in surprise and instinctively ran. Round and round the table he went, with the bird so hot on his heels, he swore he felt its beak barely scrape the back of his leg once or twice.

    It took his brain a little bit longer than it probably should’ve to remember that he was a witch. There was no need for a chase! He reached into his robes and removed his palm quire of pre-drawn magic circles. He knew just the one that’d work right now, where was it – ah!

    Summary

    "Off to sleep?"

    “You said no bedtimes,” Qifrey cried, pointing an accusatory finger at him. “You said!"

    “Yes, I did.” A decision Beldaruit was already regretting. “It was just a question.”

    --

    Nine-year-old Olruggio and Qifrey have their first sleepover. Beldaruit has feelings. Somehow, they find common ground.

    "I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" she shouted, jumping and spinning Coco around in a circle, who smiled back at her.

    "It's his work!" Agott raised her voice, trying to shout over the excited chatter, in a tone that suggested this was an argument that had been going on for some time. "It's not the same! It doesn't mean anything at all!"

    If only Olruggio could understand what they were talking about.

    "You and Master Qifrey are really close," Coco said with a smile as Tetia left her to wander alone.

    "Yeah..." Olruggio liked to believe that it was true. Just this tone...

    Oh.

    “Why did you decide to become Master Qifrey’s Watchful Eye?” Richeh asked quietly, drawing everyone’s attention back to him. “Did he ask you to do this?”

    Oh no.

    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    Summary

    Sometimes all it takes is accidentally saying "pass me the ladle, darling" once, and everything goes off the rails. It's a small problem when it happens once - but when it keeps happening, over and over, it becomes so easy to believe that someone truly loves you. Doesn't it?

    Summary

    Women in the dining hall would send Olly secret little smiles. The braver sort of witch would fall into step beside him and ask about Silver Eve, or push for earnest advice on their own personal contraptions - and show their appreciation by quietly asking him out for a drink. Handsome shopkeepers would lean forward across their counters full of wares and wink.

    Qifrey witnessed these valiant attempts firsthand, often from steps away, as if he didn’t exist. He filed each exchange away, hands clasped neatly in front of him, his face a mask of mild politeness.

    Summary

    Qifrey did his best to conceal his laughter. His friend looked so lost, it was like his brain had gotten damped with all the wine and started to work slower. Watching drunk Olruggio try to connect two thoughts together felt like watching a dog trying to catch his own tail.

    "Ah, well," He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "She was the one who gave me those bags of fruit. As a tip, y' know. She said they were in season."

    "They were delicious." He conceded his friend. "She sounds like a wonderful lady."

    "Yeah, she was." He sighed, trying to pour himself more wine only to find out the bottle was already empty. "Hey, I'd make a good husband, don't you think?"

    The silverwood must have begun to mess with his hearing too.

    In the middle of a drinking session with his friend, Olruggio asks an unexpected question. Sadly, Qifrey knows the answer to it.

    "How much did you pay for these?" he asks.

    Ah, just expenses? "Not much," Olruggio says, stepping around the counter to lean against Qifrey's side, arm wrapping around his waist comfortably. "I got a good deal."

    Qifrey relaxes some. He turns his face to nuzzle against Olruggio's neck and he leans his head back in response, giving more room for Qifrey to press against his pulse.

    "Oh dear," Qifrey sighs, turning his face to rub his cheek against Olruggio's cloak. "I'm afraid I have a secret to tell you."
