    Summary

    “Years ago,” Qifrey says suddenly, “And you won’t remember this, you made me make you a promise. And I’ve kept it, until now.” As he talks, Qifrey fidgets with his hat. He turns it around and around in his hands, then unhooks the ribbon from the point.

    “Hey—”

    Olruggio steps forward as if to stop him, but it’s done. Qifrey twists the ribbon in his hand, crumpling it.

    “That’s—”

    “Your ribbon. And my promise. I’ve worn them both for years. For you. And for myself. But Olly—I asked you here because I can’t do it anymore.”

    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

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.

    Summary

    Qifrey knew of the risks with this procedure. But if, in exchange for his sight, he were to get his future back?

    The choice has never been more easy to make.

    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.
