    Summary

    It’s happening more and more often these days.
    He’s been living with this curse as long as he can remember, the ache behind his eyes never falling below a certain point, a constant reminder of what will happen if he ever once allows himself to set down all it is he carries. He’s been furious, terrified, heartbroken; he’s let his hands grow so tainted that he hesitates to touch the world, let the black in his soul harm those closest to him, let it drive him to secrets and cruelties and forbidden spells in pursuit of a cure, of answers, of just one more day to try. Qifrey has ruined beautiful things and prevented new ones from being born, has rent himself into a shape that breaks through the world, has stolen each new moment of his life or paid for it in blood and memories. He has crafted a life of suffering and placed everything he cares about atop its precarious sill.
    In the past month, Qifrey has had to fight back blooms and branches more times than in the entire year preceding it, and he has no idea why.

    Summary

    She scuffs her feet against the hardwood floors absently and contemplates the 'please knock' sign. Olruggio will certainly not let her in if she knocks, since it’s late and Master Olly is especially exasperated about Agott’s tendency to all-nighters, but Agott needs this mentorship now. It’s probably best to invite herself in.

    Probably. Worst case scenario, Olruggio is in the middle of something very important and bothering him topples the whole tower down and Professor Qifrey decides it’s vital that Agott be lectured about respecting space and private time. As if Agott doesn’t understand the concept! Just, sometimes things are emergencies.

    Sometimes, one's lover's student needs someone to explain love to her, and that can't wait until after a deadline.

    (Sequel to Someday out of the Blue)

    Nick still has some questions that Vash is struggling to answer, and Wolfwood's orphanage still has some undiscovered secrets that other people are far too interested in uncovering.

    Summary

    Wolfwood braced against the counter, panting and sweating, gripping the wood for dear life. He leaned back, hazy eyes finding Vash’s as his pupils blew wide.

    Oh.

    Oh that’s probably not good.

    - - -

    When it rains, it pours. In Vash’s defense, he really had no idea his pollen could act as an aphrodisiac. Let alone one of this intensity.

    Summary

    The first letter Essek receives from Caleb Widogast is secreted into his pocket at some point during a tense interview with the Bright Queen. For the life of him, Essek cannot figure out how it was done. He doesn’t recall so much as brushing against the other man as he escorted the Mighty Nein out of the Lucid Bastion.

    Yet when he returns to his office, there it is, tucked into a nearly invisible pocket in his mantle — a piece of subpar parchment folded to vaguely resemble a cat’s face with tiny pointed ears.
