When the atelier's master returns in the dead of night, smelling of ozone and river water, Orugio decides he's done turning a blind eye. A quiet night of patching wounds becomes the first fracture in Qifrey's carefully constructed mask.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The writing is brilliant, so satisfying and beautiful and... solid? Descriptive in the best way. Qifrey and Olly are exactly as I see their characters, and the hurt/comfort/angst never disappoints. Real good soul-stabbing heartache that doesn't lose tension, just changes it. Olly as 3rd person narrator nails it. Read again when you need that injury/sickfic/denial/strong caregiver fix <3

    Summary

    A look at Opera, right after being poisoned during the Sagra tour, Balam, taking them in, and the unspoken several years that have built between them.
    --
    "Balam whirls around, turning his full attention to Opera, now collapsed on a rusty old bed. Despite their general lank, somehow, against the stained sheets and in the pale, dying light of mid afternoon, they look… small."

    Summary

    Olruggio was busy. That was how it started. Privately, he thinks maybe that’s how everything started. He’s always too busy, too overworked and overtired to pay attention, losing time and forgetting everything about Qifrey. It’s a damning thing, that he meticulously tracks everything about his clients but can barely seem to keep it together enough to remember conversations he has with his one and only best friend. Qifrey already does so much to take care of him; it’s the least Olruggio can do to remember their time spent together. He doesn’t. Maybe if he did, things wouldn’t have gotten to this point.

    Summary

    There is likely a far more clever metaphor for their relationship, of perhaps a more ironic saying: a moth to a flame. If it were not painfully revealing, Qifrey might use it aloud. But what could possibly be more human than gazing upon the stars?

    alternatively: Qifrey is still found by Beldaruit, still buried, but in addition to bearing a seed of silver- he bears its natural predator as well. An AU in which Qifrey is a Silvertree Moth hybrid, and how that changes a few things
