    Summary

    Gordon sniffed, loudly. He was furiously rubbing at his eyes with his sleeve and smudging up his glasses in the process, tremors continuing to spike through him even as he took deep breaths to calm himself down. Now that they weren’t so close and he could get a proper look, it was the smallest Warren had ever seen him - legs tucked to his chest, hands obscuring his puffed-up face and bloodshot eyes.

    “Oh,” Grace said. “I see.”

    Summary

    Qifrey hasn't been to visit since Beldaruit offered Coco a place in his atelier.

     

    MANGA SPOILERS through the first time they meet Beldaruit. Technically takes place after Silver Eve, but doesn't really contain any major spoilers for that arc. Can be read if you are an anime only watcher, but there will be Qifrey backstory spoilers. No chapter 40 or chapter 93 spoilers, though hinted at.

    Summary

    “You know,” Olruggio says, roughly. He doesn’t move to take Qifrey’s hand again. “You know. You can’t not know, Qifrey.”

    Qifrey just looks at him. “I do.”

    The rain continues falling.

    (And so Olruggio forgets. And he inevitably figures it out again, because of course he does; and he inevitably chooses to forget again, and again, and again, because his heart is always the same. The story is always the same. Like a tale from under a silverwood tree, like a myth from the days of old, not so much tied by the constraints of the narrative so much as being narrative itself. Antigone must bury her brother. Iphigenia must be put to death. At a thousand turns, in a thousand ways, Orpheus must turn, and he must look, again, and again.

    And Olruggio forgets.)

    There is an old story about a witch and a silverwood tree.

    Summary

    For as long as Qifrey could remember, he’d never properly understood the ferocity with which others felt this sort of thing. He’d reasoned that it was simply that he could not entertain it; true pleasure, and the kind of comfort that he imagined should come with it, had always been far from his reach.
    Except, Qifrey could have it now, if he wanted. Qifrey felt quite certain that Olruggio would entertain it, if asked in earnest; his evidence lay in a decade’s worth of stolen glances.

    -
    Free from the affliction he's carried with him since childhood, Qifrey realizes his lifelong struggles with desire run deeper than a curse. Olruggio meets him in the middle as best he can.
