    Summary

    His breath passes through his body in cycles, and he allows himself to focus on it. The stretch in his muscles as his chest expands and back widens. Each inhale seems to unravel something in him, allowing the tension to bleed from his body.

    Once more he observes Olruggio’s features, taking in the color of his eyes — an intriguing shade that reminds him of a star-filled sky — and the harsh line of his mouth. He observes the dark strands that fall across his forehead, the cut of his jawline, the bridge of his nose.

    I want him and this life we built together.

    I want to live.

    or: qifrey learns to rebuild. olruggio is by his side.

    Summary

    "Am I going to be okay?" she asked instead.

    Her mother looked at her for a moment. Then she put her arm around Coco's shoulders and pulled her close, so close their bodies could have merged if it were possible.

    "I am going to make sure you will." she promised. "That's different from okay right now. But it's what matters. It's going to be okay."

    Coco leaned into her and decided that was a good enough answer.

    ---

    OR: Vampires have their rules, Unknowings have their lives, and Witches have their secrets. Coco has managed to belong to all three and be accepted by none of them. She finds this more interesting than distressing. Mostly.

    Summary

    It had been a passing remark, all things considered. If Coco had anywhere else to direct her attention at the time, she would've forgotten about it well before dinnertime; but she didn't—she couldn't—because, well...

    "If I must pick the lesser of two devils... I'd rather see you in a noblewoman's getup."

    It was frankly impossible to ignore that.

    Coco overhears from Olruggio that he'd rather see Qifrey in a noblewoman's attire, so she makes him a dress... and gets Qifrey to put it on to surprise Olruggio.

    Summary

    "He watched them some more, this time out of blurred vision. He watched the individual shapes and colors of his girls move in front of him, and listened to their voices float up to his ears, without really making out what they were saying. He thought he could stay like this forever, he wished he could. He felt a familiar pang of anxiety in his chest, anticipation of punishment for feeling happy and at ease. But then nothing happened, and the feeling passed."

    The parasitic Silverwood tree has since been removed from Qifrey’s body, and he realizes just how comforting sleep can actually be, if he allows it.
