    Summary

    Any time that Ghost seems to find an even keel, his world flips upside down. He goes from experiencing the lightest form of existence he's known, to having to revert back to short nights, the heavy responsibilities of the job, and following his orders.

    And then just when he's starting to settle in, the tides change again—he's faced with fears he doesn't want to confront. But if he's learned anything in life, it's that there's no way around shit like this, only through.

    Summary

    The light through the curtains is hazier, almost dreamlike. In a dream, Olruggio’s face would be offset in stark relief—the one illogical point of focus in an otherwise blurry invention of his mind—but it’s not a dream, so Olruggio is hazy and warm and blurry too.

    In a dream, when Olruggio touched him, the pleasure of it would be far away, guilt-laced, a memory of a memory of a hope. In a dream, his kiss would be fleeting, and his gentle affection the same.

    But Qifrey’s never been lucky enough for that kind of safety. Olruggio is hot and solid and real against him. Olruggio touches him and all his nerve endings go alight. Olruggio holds him, and everything makes sense, and it’s hard to remember why it can’t last.

    Summary

    His eyes are tired and the smile wrinkles on his cheeks have deepened, the crows feet elongated across the corners of his eyes and he had let his goatee grow out a little. Tiny stubbles riddle across his jaw line and down his neck. Qifrey’s eyes glance downward where Olruggio’s hand slides back and forth across his upper abdomen.
    “What are you gawking over?” Olruggio asks with a grumble, his mouth full. Something had been planted years ago within Qifrey and slowly it grew and grew until finally it blossomed— its petals reaching out towards the sun.

    Qifrey wanted to have a baby.

    Summary

    Olruggio walked forward quickly, setting his candle down on the table. "Why didn't you cast a protection spell? Or do quite literally anything else? I can see how uncomfortable you are."

    "Well, you aren't the Watchful Eye for nothing, my friend," Qifrey answered, chuckling humourlessly to himself before dissolving into another coughing fit.

    "I am being serious here," Olruggio insisted gruffly, grabbing Qifrey's wrist to stop him from unloading the bags. A quiet anger was starting to bubble up inside of him. The notion that Qifrey could just putter on, overexerting himself and pushing through his most potent discomfort for seemingly no good reason was maddening.

    ~

    When a drenched Qifrey returns to the Atelier in the middle of the night, the Watchful Eye is less than pleased.
