    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

    Every so often, even years after Olruggio had accepted Qifrey’s I can’t, that tension between them pulled taut. Olruggio’s eyes were a deep, dark blue, and at night they looked nearly black, even with the lamp casting light onto his face.
    “Sometimes,” Olruggio said, “I feel like you’re hiding something.”

    -
    How Qifrey kept himself carefully, deliberately, painstakingly miserable all these years.

    Summary

    "None of Olruggio's lessons had prepared him for the horrors of having to endure multiple uncomfortable conversations about his relationship to Qifrey. He wasn’t sure the library had any books on what to do when you semi-romantically swapped tassels with your best friend anyway."

    In which everyone teased Olruggio about the tassel exchange.

    Summary

    The idea of a place that makes everyone magically have sex was funny enough as a teenager, but as an adult with taxes to pay and apprentices to shoo out of his room, Olruggio is decidedly less than enthused when he hears a landslide opened up a magical cave that apparently just does that.

    But that doesn’t mean he’s going to let Qifrey investigate it by himself, or, even worse, with someone else.
