    Summary

    On a good day, Olruggio makes it to bed before sunrise. On a great day, Qifrey shoos him into their bed at what may even be a healthy time.

    Olruggio had just finished his latest commission early, had a delicious dinner, and been smacked on the head for even joking about going back to work.

    “You're terrible and a nuisance,” Olruggio grouses as he slips into his soft silk pajamas to cuddle with his wonderful husband in their new bed.

    Summary

    There it was, that thing Qifrey did, where he offered a piece of himself wrapped in observation about someone else, like a gift hidden inside a gift, and you had to decide whether to unwrap the second layer or pretend you had only received the first. Olruggio had spent half his life learning to read these offerings and in doing so he had become the foremost scholar of a language spoken by exactly one person in all the world.

    "I'm stubborn because someone has to be," he said. "You'd float away on your own mysteries if no one kept you tethered."

    "Perhaps." The maddingly sad smile again. "Perhaps that's so."

    In which Olruggio brings tea to Qifrey's study on a damp evening and finds him working in the dark again, the staff out and the fire dying.

    Summary

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

    Failed-prodigy and squatter Olruggio is in dire need of a job when he finds a curious ad in the books: "WANTED: FRIEND FOR HIRE."

    Summary

    Maybe it's selfish to wake from his delusion of wavering danger and unease. Because he was never really unsafe, was he? And he has the gall to act like it never would've ended exactly like this.

    It's not a gentle understanding that passes over him, not like a beam of sunlight bathing him in burnished gold.

    It is a crashing wave.

    //

    Or, they always say it gets better.
