    Summary

    Dear Beldaruit, The Wise in Teachings,

    I am writing to inform you that I wish to resign my position as Watchful Eye of the Atelier of Qifrey. This decision has not been made lightly, but I believe it is the best course of action for all parties involved. I will remain in my position until you have found a suitable replacement.

    I am deeply grateful for the trust you placed in me, and I regret that I am unable to continue.

    With sincere apologies,

    Olruggio of The Torch

     

    After the Silverwood is gone, Qifrey and Olruggio grapple with their guilt in their own different ways.

    Summary

    Agott trusts Olruggio more than she trusts Qifrey, and perhaps that is because Qifrey's longing is occasionally too big to be silent. He imagines that it hangs in the air like a sour smell when he takes her shopping for robes or watches her curtsy neatly to the farmers when they buy freshly milled wheat. It is humiliating and shameful to covet girlhood like this, and every time he catches himself at it, a fear runs through him so sharp that it leaves bruises on his soul – the idea that anyone might see this as perversion is more than enough to keep his nights restless and his calm superficial. Qifrey is convinced that even Olruggio, whose comments over the years have ranged from endearingly naive to knowingly supportive, would be unable to bear witness to these tendencies without misunderstanding the root of the desire.

    Four girlhoods that were not Qifrey's, and the one that was.

    Summary

    Monday Prompt: Family / "Your magic is so kind."
    -
    It was selfish. More so than anyone would believe. He didn’t care about the result, or the fanfare, or the way it made his heart squeeze when he saw his inventions being used to better the lives of the little guy. All he truly wanted was to prove his torch hadn’t gone out. Because if that fire, that star constantly singing his palms as he clung to it with all his might, ever did flicker out? Who would he be then?

    aka: olruggio thinks about his snugstone invention and what it really says about him.

    Summary

    Olruggio’s voice trembles when he says, “Hi. My name is Olruggio. You can call me Olly, if you like.”

    Still looking somewhere past Olruggio, Qifrey gestures somewhat reluctantly for him to take a seat.

    “They tell me I’m called Qifrey, but you already knew that.”

    “I did, yeah.”
    ~
    Olruggio goes to Adanlee to bring Qifrey home.

    Summary

    Natsume, Tanuma and Taki buy a house. Or, to be more accurate, Taki and Tanuma buy a house for practically nothing, renovate it in secret with half the town's assistance and ‘convince’ Natsume to move in by throwing him inside their car without telling him where they are going.

    The sudden migration of youkai to the zone is just a weird coincidence. Honest.

    A Natsume Yuujinchou Future!fic OS. Taki/Natsume/Tanuma.
