    Summary

    Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.

    Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, still shame on me. Fool you thrice… well, if it’s any consolation whatsoever, I was fooling myself most of all.
    -- -- --
    The night Qifrey returns to the atelier for good after his wandering days — old promises kept, new promises made.

    Summary

    He was stuck in these underground ruins with three weeping apprentices. If Qifrey was going to be the death of him, he’d appreciate some good old fashioned murder instead of this doing him in.

    Summary

    Qifrey tries to catalogue all of the places they touch, reminding himself that the contact is no longer dangerous. Olly’s nose is slotted against his temple, fingers having moved from between his shoulders to the base of his head. There’s a slight tickle where the hair on his chin brushes against Qifrey’s cheek. The other arm is wrapped loosely around his middle, squeezing against his tunic. Their legs aren’t exactly tangled, but he can feel Olruggio’s calf against his own, a bony knee against his thigh, and the press of something warm and firm against his hip. His own body is an unfortunate mirror, the hour still early and the closeness still unfamiliar.

    or; how does a man who has only ever deprived himself of wanting allow himself to lust?

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “I thought you were insane, and no one else in the world could have done that, you’re like - fuck you’re too much to think about. You’re everywhere, now. There is not enough space inside me for you. So I went and jerked off in the woods about it.”

    they’re saying it’s the best it’s ever been done

    Summary

    “Don’t die, Levi”, he says, clears his throat. Levi’s brows furrow. “Don’t waste your time trying to save people who are not worth saving. That’s an order”.

    Levi looks into Erwin’s eyes, blue and clear and inscrutable. Erwin doesn’t flinch, doesn’t even blink. Suddenly Levi feels his chest expand and tighten with some incendiary, overwhelming fury.

    “Worth saving”, he repeats. He keeps his gaze level. He thinks of Furlan and Isabel and feels bile rising in his throat. “Fuck you”.

    When he turns this time Erwin doesn’t stop him, doesn’t move. Levi is on his horse before everyone else, patting its neck as it stomps its hooves on the ground, nervous. He watches as Erwin takes the lead right behind Shadis, watches as he tries to say something in his ear. Shadis ignores him, dripping in acrid sweat already. The smell of his panic is nauseating. Erwin does not seem panicked at all. He never does. He should be giving them orders instead of Shadis, Levi thinks, and immediately hates himself for it. Worth saving. He shouldn’t want Erwin to lead them. He shouldn’t want Erwin at all.
