    Summary

    A shock tore the breath from her lungs. There was stone beneath her hands. The sound of rain still fell, but muffled now; as though the world had closed itself off beyond thick walls. Her limbs still refused her, her mind sluggish and heavy. She felt the vague sensation of being lifted, carried, voices–clearer, though distorted.

    “--him to the circle.”

    “The sister?”

    “She’s to be kept...”

    Vex tried to blink her eyes open, she flexed her hand, trying to force her body to respond to her demands to move but something struck her across the temple when she attempted to lift her head. A burst of white pain and then the dark swallowed her again.

    Summary

    Arms of ink and feather pinned him back against a nearby wall. Tendrils of black looped around his neck, spiraled around his chest and wrapped his limbs before pulling tight. He gasped from the cold pressure of his bindings, the shadows firm but not crushing, like an eerie cage that would not yield.

    “Vax’ildan,” she said, voice quiet as a prayer, yet heavy enough to drown him. “My call went unanswered.”

    Summary

    Qifrey, most days, had a hard time looking directly at Olruggio. If he looked right at Olruggio, he’d see the golden tassel, innocently attached to the point of Olruggio’s cap, and his stomach would twist until he felt like he was going to hurl. He bounced on the balls of his feet, suddenly feeling uncertain, because if Olruggio was the one crying it’d be even harder to look at him.
    -
    A few months after they had challenged the Tower of Tomes, Qifrey happens upon Olruggio crying alone in his room. Qifrey is terribly out of his depth. He tries anyway.

    Summary

    "You know, I always thought I'd live somewhere with lots of people around," Olruggio tells him. The wine in his vessel is a rich pink colour. Qifrey made them olives and cheese with cabroccoli wrapped in ham for a late-night snack, but the pleasure was in the making, not in the eating. He sips his own vessel, listening. "But it's really nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful. Good for focussing."

    "I think you would be even more of a hermit, if you had the choice," Qifrey says. "Lost in your work for weeks on end."

    Olruggio looks sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "You're probably right. I never thought I'd be that kind of person, either… weird how much things change, isn't it?"

    "And how much they stay the same," Qifrey murmurs.

    A temporary fix-it.

    Summary

    Olruggio has always been kind.

    He is intelligent. Perceptive. Infuriatingly good at dancing.

    Beautiful, charismatic, endlessly patient.

    Olruggio is perfect.

    Unfortunately, Qifrey is not the only one who has noticed.

    ________________________

    Or when Qifrey had long accepted one simple truth: Olruggio was dangerously easy to love.
    Which would have been manageable… if everyone else in the world had not apparently come to the exact same conclusion.

    Summary

    When Qifrey is summoned to the Great Hall, Olruggio takes the apprentices to Orom for a sightseeing trip. But when a handsome, wealthy patron offers Olruggio a private estate and a life without deadlines, the girls realize they might be losing their Watchful Eye to the ultimate master of courtship. Olruggio, of course, is too busy looking at a magical contraption to notice.

    Summary

    Olruggio lazily rested his head against the palm of his hand, watching the predictable exchange happen.

    However, against all odds, Qifrey monotonously answered, “Dare.”

    “Oho! Someone’s bold today!” Alaira snickered at his show of bravery, “If that’s the case, I dare you to a round of “Seven minutes in Heaven” with Olruggio.”

    ─༻𖥔*・☽・*𖥔༺─

    The mandatory "Truth or Dare" fic where Orluggio is blinded by jealousy, Alaira comes up with a shoddy plan at best, and Qifrey takes the cake for the "Biggest Slip-up" while trying to court his best friend.

    Summary

    They'd only just ambled into the Kalhn textile shop when Qifrey caught sight of the short young woman working. She had a round face, rosy cheeks, flaxen hair. Her eyes had locked on Olruggio as soon as they’d entered.

    Olruggio, for his part, thumbed through dyed wool samples as though he hadn't noticed. He likely wouldn't.

    But Qifrey always noticed. Sometimes this left him as a voyeur: staring at someone staring at someone else. But other times, like today, his fixed presence at Olruggio’s side made him an involved party. There was always a delay, then a moment in which Qifrey became visible and the women realized he might be of help. Some of them were too scared to approach Olruggio outright—they’d built up a more intimidating version of him in their heads, had never heard him laugh wildly or watched dimples form when he smiled. Instead, they’d set their sights on Qifrey. Talk to him, or at least look at him imploringly, as though getting in his good graces might earn them the Torch’s attention.

    He never felt like helping them.

    or: Qifrey gets jealous.

    Summary

    Olruggio didn’t think Qifrey liked physical touch at all, but now that the curse is gone, the white-haired man immediately decides that Olruggio’s personal space is his personal property and he will be burrowing into Olruggio's ribcage, thank you very much.

    Summary

    The idea of a place that makes everyone magically have sex was funny enough as a teenager, but as an adult with taxes to pay and apprentices to shoo out of his room, Olruggio is decidedly less than enthused when he hears a landslide opened up a magical cave that apparently just does that.

    But that doesn’t mean he’s going to let Qifrey investigate it by himself, or, even worse, with someone else.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    Summary

    Since settling down and taking on apprentices, life at the atelier became quiet again. Maybe not perfect. It could never be perfect. But sometimes just having stability was better than nothing.

    And then, Iguin came back for Olruggio.

    After all, the brimmed caps never forget.

    They simply bide their time.
