    Summary

    It was quiet, and when Olruggio’s head raised he saw that ever-present look on Qifrey’s face again.

    The one where he looked hesitant, a little bit displaced, and so startingly unsure of himself.

    “Olly, I’m...” he started, awkwardly trailing off as his hand traced to the top of his cap. “You know I don’t do too well with being... celebrated.”

    He spoke the words as if the mere thought of it made him uncomfortable, his shoulders hunching up as he coiled that ribbon tight around his finger.

    Olruggio reached between them.

    “Of things worth celebrating,” he murmured, catching the ribbon with his finger and gently pulling it loose. “You being born is at the very top of my list.” He leveled Qifrey with a look. “Understand?”

    Qifrey nodded slow as if in a daze, whispering out a hushed, “Yes,” as he watched Olruggio weave the ribbon between his fingers.

    Or

    Qifrey’s birthday comes around again, but this year Olruggio hoped to make it a bit more memorable.

    Whether Qifrey liked it or not.

    Summary

    Olruggio just so happened to wander into the kitchen during the dead of night when he caught a sight most curious.

    That of... the room lit only by the full moon's gleam, and a single pyreball lit on the centre of the dining table.

    Qifrey was seated with a cup of tea abandoned before him. He had his cheeks held in his hands, his elbows propped upon the table, and his narrowed eye affixed to the spell as though it were whispering to him the very secrets of the stars.

    How... bizarre.

    Even for him.

    "Uhm, Qifrey? Are you with it?"

    Qifrey learns to relax by staring at pyreballs. He falls into a trance, which Olruggio aids him through.

    Summary

    Sickness to Beldaruit was like an old friend. He’s lived with its presence beside him all his life. Used to recovering from it in a careful solitude, until he’s offered warmth and soup.

    “I didn’t wish to needlessly worry you.” Beldaruit sighs, “My health should not be such a concern for you. After all, you have your own student to worry about now.”

    “Not a concern for me? What, are you going to tell a child not to worry about their father?” It takes a beat for Qifrey to realize what he said, his cheeks flushing red as he looks away.

    Summary

    The truth is spilled, and a night of indulgence is sure to have its consequences. Truly, some would think the story writes itself over and over and over again.

    Though it is only human to hope for a different ending.

    “Have we done this before?” Olruggio’s question is muffled from where he’s made himself comfortable. He absently traces patterns onto Qifrey’s skin, unable to stay still.

    “Which part?” Qifrey stretches his arms out in front of him, fighting against the branches making his joints stiff. He pointedly ignores the ivy that crawls up his wrists.

    Summary

    Corvus was in pain.

    Which wasn’t exactly a new feeling, for him. He may only be in his mid-twenties, but after the amount of tumbles he’d taken in his youth and early-twenties, his body wasn’t very happy with him.

    Usually he tried to ignore it. It was always there, but he’d found things that helped.
