    Summary

    Qifrey hasn't been to visit since Beldaruit offered Coco a place in his atelier.

     

    MANGA SPOILERS through the first time they meet Beldaruit. Technically takes place after Silver Eve, but doesn't really contain any major spoilers for that arc. Can be read if you are an anime only watcher, but there will be Qifrey backstory spoilers. No chapter 40 or chapter 93 spoilers, though hinted at.

    Summary

    Olruggio does not know Qifrey - beyond that head of hair, which curls around his ears like snowdrift, and that single gleaming eye, and the whispers of Beldaruit's Ward that follow the man everyhere he goes. No, Olruggio doesn't know him.

    But it feels like he should.

     

    or: AU where olruggio is agott and tetia's teacher, qifrey is coco and richeh's teacher, and the two of them never (allegedly) meet until a fateful meeting in Kalhn.

    Summary

    "You're… leaving?"

    The anxiety had been gnawing at Olruggio since he opened to door to find Qifrey standing there holding a travel pack. It now rests at his friend's feet while Qifrey stands there clutching his own hands. He feels light-headed.

    "Yes. I'd like to work as a travelling witch."

    OR Qifrey leaves, and Olruggio is totally (not) fine with that.

    His half of the codependency is so well written here

    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

    "Your future is mine, as well."

    In their atelier, Qifrey and Olruggio have settled into a quiet domesticity. Olruggio dances in this bliss, but Qifrey cannot feel so free.

    One night, Agott catches a fever. Qifrey and Olruggio mother-hen over her relentlessly, and as they trip over each other, memories from Qifrey's childhood resurface.

    As they do, Qifrey struggles with his identity and his relationship with his childhood friend. All of his feelings come to a head, and he buckles under the weight.
