    Summary

    There was a trail of Qifrey’s blood from the entrance to the door the doctor had disappeared through.

    Luckily, he didn’t have long to stand there, numb. The girls appeared moments later.

    Olly swallowed, hating that he needed to ask questions from them right now, but also desperately needing to know how yet another test had gone so sideways. He cleared his throat, getting the attention of all four apprentices, and eloquently managed to ask, “…what happened?”

    -

    Qifrey and Olruggio figure out what life looks like after the silverwood seed is gone. Fair warning, it starts with a good amount of angst but moves into lots of comfort. Full of yearning all the way through.

    You definitely don't have to read the earlier bits in the series - it's all just a series of Olruggio and Qifrey yearning.

    Summary

    He digs his fingers into the porcelain, squeezing his eye shut. It's not working. He tried. But he can't. He can't get over this alone. His heart is still thrumming with anxiety, and he feels like he might throw up what they ate for dinner.

    Familiar and routine comforts come to mind for nights like these, his feet moving softly across the wood floor and through the atelier halls in pursuit of them.

    After being awoken by a nightmare, Qifrey seeks Olruggio's comfort in the middle of the night.

    Summary

    After their first night together, Qifrey wakes slowly in Olruggio’s arms, still with the feel of Olly's lips on in skin.
    For a few precious moments, everything feels peaceful, safe, almost dreamlike. But beneath that happiness, the weight of his secret still rests heavily inside him.
    Watching Olruggio smile at him so openly for the first time, Qifrey realizes he can no longer carry the truth alone. If they truly belong to each other now, then Olruggio deserves to know everything about him.


    “Something happened”
    Agott immediately shushed her. “Not so loud”
    “But LOOK at them” Tetia insisted.
    “They look happy”
    Tetia immediately grinned. “Do you think they kissed?”
    Agott nearly choked. “Tetia!”
    “What?!”

    Summary

    Could anyone truly blame him for being so unfocused right now, when the man he'd longed for consistently over the course of twenty years一the very same man who treated physical contact like the startling singe of a hot stove一had his hands draped over his broader shoulders, long frame bent down just enough to whisper sultry directions against his cheek? He should surely think not. The endurance of such an ordeal would kill a lesser man.

    Summary

    It held all the hallmarks of a fairytale dream, but to Qifrey, a man who had abandoned all fantasies against the cruel waves that drowned the world, it was the make of ruin.

    The Duke held his gaze in a way that made it impossible to deny the implausible: Olruggio of Ghodfrey intended for him.

    "Lord Qifrey," the Duke said, and dropped to his knee with a confidence that spoke of no doubts. "Will you permit me the honour of your hand in marriage?"

    When Qifrey receives an unexpected proposal from the most powerful stranger in the kingdom, he has no choice but to agree.

    Or: a historical AU inspired by otome isekai manhwa, featuring Qifrey as wary bride and Olruggio as cold Duke of the North. Updates weekly.

    Summary

    "You’re… not supposed to exist,”

    In a world where magical law is absolute, sheltering a mythical creature is a death sentence. Yet, Olruggio doesn't hesitate to build a hidden shelter in his atelier for a wounded mermaid named Qifrey. What starts as a temporary quickly turns into a domestic routine of shared mornings.

    Summary

    Olruggio wrapped his arms around Qifrey’s waist and pulled him close. He rested his chin on Qifrey’s shoulder, warm and real and solid. Qifrey returned the gesture, his eye sliding shut. He let out a breath. They remained that way for a long while, leaning against each other. This could not ease Qifrey—he’d managed a delicate balance that allowed him to indulge in these small ways while retaining his ever-present fear—but Olruggio’s weight became heavier and heavier as he relaxed into it.

    Qifrey could do these things for Olruggio; he could take care of him, though it would never make up for everything that he had done.

    Qifrey and Olruggio build themselves a home. The days pass in the closest thing to domestic bliss that Qifrey can manage. It cannot last.

    "Hey, it's just me," Olruggio smiled. "No need to stress over anythin'."
    Of course it was just him.
    It was always just him.
    Them, together.
    Ever since they were kids.
    "A hug."
    "What?"
    "I just want a hug, Olly."

    Summary

    “We wouldn’t have to tell the girls, and it wouldn’t be all the time. We could limit it to this room, just as needed. Just… for us.” Olruggio meets his eye, letting the fire in his eyes melt into bashful tenderness. Qifrey sighs, taking a long pause to think.

    “Not very watchful of you, hm?” Qifrey responds after a moment. Olruggio raises an eyebrow.

    “Oh please,” Olly scoffs, gesturing to their home. “We’ve been grading each other’s homework for years. You know where my morals stand. I’m plenty watchful where it counts.”

    ---

    After the events of Silver Eve, Qifrey makes the difficult decision to tell Olruggio and the girls his secret. His apprentices come up with many ways to keep him on edge and alert. Olruggio, too- although using slightly less… conventional methods.

    Summary

    Olruggio barks a laugh, then Qifrey does—something, hits the right spot with the right pressure and Olruggio groans instead. It's mortifying, really, but Qifrey just does it again, harder, and Olruggio goes slack under the touch.

    "Ah, hell," Olruggio croaks.

    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.

    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.

    Summary

    Other times, the shivers are replaced by a raw hunger. In the privacy of their now shared bedroom, he grabs Olruggio by the shirt, slams him against the wall and kisses him deeply, wherever he can find. His lips, his cheeks, his neck, his shoulders. He rests his head on that ever-warm chest and gasps, breathing him in.

    And Olruggio waits.
