    Summary

    Olruggio didn’t think Qifrey liked physical touch at all, but now that the curse is gone, the white-haired man immediately decides that Olruggio’s personal space is his personal property and he will be burrowing into Olruggio's ribcage, thank you very much.

    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

    Sometimes, you still see Qifrey as the little boy who walked into the sea to drown.
    Someone who needs to be saved.
    He is your best and only friend. You’ll do anything for him except enable him.

    Summary

    Atuarto’s been trying to restore Galga’s memories for months, and he’s close to a breakthrough. Who better to assist him than Olruggio of the Torch, a friend of a friend and a genius with contraptions?

    The potion he’s brewing up is dangerous, potentially effective, and it calls to Olruggio like it has something to tell him.

    Summary

    It’s happening more and more often these days.
    He’s been living with this curse as long as he can remember, the ache behind his eyes never falling below a certain point, a constant reminder of what will happen if he ever once allows himself to set down all it is he carries. He’s been furious, terrified, heartbroken; he’s let his hands grow so tainted that he hesitates to touch the world, let the black in his soul harm those closest to him, let it drive him to secrets and cruelties and forbidden spells in pursuit of a cure, of answers, of just one more day to try. Qifrey has ruined beautiful things and prevented new ones from being born, has rent himself into a shape that breaks through the world, has stolen each new moment of his life or paid for it in blood and memories. He has crafted a life of suffering and placed everything he cares about atop its precarious sill.
    In the past month, Qifrey has had to fight back blooms and branches more times than in the entire year preceding it, and he has no idea why.

    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

    The Knights’ cloaks are the color of an open wound against the walls of the atelier, their pennants like exposed bones. They look at him like Olruggio has committed a crime he cannot remember. Maybe he has.

    They do not tell him who Qifrey is, even when he asks. They do not tell him much of anything.

    Olruggio thinks he can figure it out from the empty space.

    Summary

    The dead boy knows he could be confronted with any number of awful things, from demons to sinners to beings beyond his imagination.

    What Charles hadn't anticipated seeing was himself.

    Or his reflection, anyway. The one he hasn't seen in thirty-odd years, so unfamiliar to him that he nearly jumps at the sight of the soft slope of his mum’s nose, the concentrated furrow of his dad's brow. He recognizes some of the other fragments intrinsically, like the liner-smudged eyes that a pretty girl did up for him at his first concert, and the well-worn, pin-riddled jacket handed down to him from his friend's older brother.

    But it's the sum of the parts, the lanky frame holding it all together that gives him pause — makes him lean in for a closer look. The boy in his reflection is just so real, so enticingly, unfairly life-like, that Charles can't help but reach out and touch.

    x

    Charles encounters a mirror that shows his reflection while on his mission to rescue Edwin from Hell. After realizing he can't travel through it, he moves on.

    But what if he was pulled into Despair's realm instead?

    Summary

    “I wasn’t ready,” he tries, grip tightening when Cheng Xiaoshi tries to take the controller from him. “One more time.”

    “Go for it, then, but I hope you're prepared to lose.” Cheng Xiaoshi laughs again, letting the controller go and pressing his forehead to Lu Guang’s shoulder as he shakes, grinning. He’s so warm. Has he always been this touchy?

    Could Lu Guang have been making him smile like this in every timeline since the first? Looking hurts his chest. He squeezes the controller a little tighter. “...Everyone needs a few tries to succeed.”
    |
    Small changes add up. In no timeline before has Cheng Xiaoshi loved Lu Guang, but this one is different.

    Summary

    When she steps into her new class for the first time, Souko spots Reiko immediately.

    There’s nobody else she could be- nobody has ever fitted a name better than the splinter of moonlight sat in the corner of the classroom, with wispy silver hair and bruised shins sticking out the bottom of her school skirt. Reiko stares into the yard with a mild sense of disinterest, her eyes sharp and cat-like and Souko barely hears when she’s asked to introduce herself to the rest of the class.

    or; in another universe, souko enrolls in the same school as reiko. somehow, this changes everything.

    Summary

    She’s never unexpected, but she’s always a surprise. And when Charles meets her, it's nothing like the nightmare he's built up in his own head, being split away from Edwin and cursed to an afterlife without him. She's kind and gentle and familiar, and she gives him a chance to say goodbye to his mother.

    Or, the one where Charles meets Death. They have a lot to talk about. But it's okay. They have time.

    Summary

    Crowley raises one dark eyebrow at him. “You sound as though you’ve got something in mind already, angel.”

    His eyes are golden in the sunlight, and his red hair is plaited loosely down his back. It sends Aziraphale back to 1186, to that spring wedding in a sprawling field of eagerly blooming jonquils. He thinks of how beautiful Crowley looked there in all his sunrise colors.

    Aziraphale reaches out to touch a rogue curl that escaped the plait. He can feel Crowley holding his breath.

    “I suppose I do,” Aziraphale admits quietly.

    Summary

    Or: 5 times Aziraphale accidentally blessed Crowley, +1 time when it went really sideways.

    Inspired by the Ace Omens Discord server, this is an entirely self-indulgent piece of comedy that I hope someone else will enjoy.

    -

    After the first incident, Aziraphale is always very, very careful to make sure he knows who he is blessing after a sneeze. He looks around, surveys the scene, and then, only when he is sure that it’s a human or another angel or just not Crawly, does he say ‘Bless you’. Of course, aside from the time on the Ark, it’s never Crawly, and after a while the habit starts to die away. He forgets sometimes, and it’s always fine, until one day he hears a sneeze, automatically blesses the person, and hears a whine.

     

    He does not swear. Instead, he turns around, sheepish, and sees one very annoyed and very seared-looking demon.

     

    “Oh,” he says, over the bustle of the surrounding market.

    Summary

    "I just wish things were different," Crowley says... and the universe happily obliges.

    Stuck - perhaps forever - in a reality in which Shadwell is the first Wiccan MP, Pepper's only aspiration in life is to be a dutiful wife to someone, and his beloved Bentley is a rusty VW bus, Crowley is slowly learning that "different" doesn't necessarily mean better...

    But how long can he bear to live* in a world where Aziraphale hates him?

     

    *Not that he has any other option. The Death of this world can't see blood...

    Summary

    Aziraphale leaves for Heaven to help with The Second Coming, but not everything Upstairs is as it seems. Crowley runs away from his problems until he is suddenly summoned by a trio of unlikely friends trying to save the world (again). Through misadventures, imprisonments, immortal attempted suicide, lucid dreaming, dealing with teenagers, and an off-putting amount of bebop, an angel and a demon try to find their way back to each other as Heaven and Hell close in around them. (I'm aware that this starts off slow. It starts getting good around chapters 5-6, but the Epilogue might be my favorite part.)
