    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    -

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.

    Summary

    Sometimes all it takes is accidentally saying "pass me the ladle, darling" once, and everything goes off the rails. It's a small problem when it happens once - but when it keeps happening, over and over, it becomes so easy to believe that someone truly loves you. Doesn't it?

    Summary

    Women in the dining hall would send Olly secret little smiles. The braver sort of witch would fall into step beside him and ask about Silver Eve, or push for earnest advice on their own personal contraptions - and show their appreciation by quietly asking him out for a drink. Handsome shopkeepers would lean forward across their counters full of wares and wink.

    Qifrey witnessed these valiant attempts firsthand, often from steps away, as if he didn’t exist. He filed each exchange away, hands clasped neatly in front of him, his face a mask of mild politeness.

    Summary

    Qifrey did his best to conceal his laughter. His friend looked so lost, it was like his brain had gotten damped with all the wine and started to work slower. Watching drunk Olruggio try to connect two thoughts together felt like watching a dog trying to catch his own tail.

    "Ah, well," He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "She was the one who gave me those bags of fruit. As a tip, y' know. She said they were in season."

    "They were delicious." He conceded his friend. "She sounds like a wonderful lady."

    "Yeah, she was." He sighed, trying to pour himself more wine only to find out the bottle was already empty. "Hey, I'd make a good husband, don't you think?"

    The silverwood must have begun to mess with his hearing too.

    In the middle of a drinking session with his friend, Olruggio asks an unexpected question. Sadly, Qifrey knows the answer to it.

    Summary

    "How much did you pay for these?" he asks.

    Ah, just expenses? "Not much," Olruggio says, stepping around the counter to lean against Qifrey's side, arm wrapping around his waist comfortably. "I got a good deal."

    Qifrey relaxes some. He turns his face to nuzzle against Olruggio's neck and he leans his head back in response, giving more room for Qifrey to press against his pulse.

    "Oh dear," Qifrey sighs, turning his face to rub his cheek against Olruggio's cloak. "I'm afraid I have a secret to tell you."

    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

    “Olly,” he said, a kind smile tugging at his lips. “You do sell calligraphy pens, right?”

    “Qifrey,” sighed Olruggio. “It’s nine in the evening. We haven't been open since five.” They haven’t seen each other in two months, either, although currently Olruggio had a difficult time remembering that.

    Olruggio and Qifrey reconnect when the latter opens a small atelier for children.

    Summary

    Olruggio wrapped his arms around Qifrey’s waist and pulled him close. He rested his chin on Qifrey’s shoulder, warm and real and solid. Qifrey returned the gesture, his eye sliding shut. He let out a breath. They remained that way for a long while, leaning against each other. This could not ease Qifrey—he’d managed a delicate balance that allowed him to indulge in these small ways while retaining his ever-present fear—but Olruggio’s weight became heavier and heavier as he relaxed into it.

    Qifrey could do these things for Olruggio; he could take care of him, though it would never make up for everything that he had done.
    -
    Qifrey and Olruggio build themselves a home. The days pass in the closest thing to domestic bliss that Qifrey can manage. It cannot last.

    Summary

    "You know, I always thought I'd live somewhere with lots of people around," Olruggio tells him. The wine in his vessel is a rich pink colour. Qifrey made them olives and cheese with cabroccoli wrapped in ham for a late-night snack, but the pleasure was in the making, not in the eating. He sips his own vessel, listening. "But it's really nice out here, isn't it? Peaceful. Good for focussing."

    "I think you would be even more of a hermit, if you had the choice," Qifrey says. "Lost in your work for weeks on end."

    Olruggio looks sheepish, rubbing the back of his neck with his free hand. "You're probably right. I never thought I'd be that kind of person, either… weird how much things change, isn't it?"

    "And how much they stay the same," Qifrey murmurs.

    A temporary fix-it.

    “Married witches?” the man repeats it with raised brows, a mystified look on his face. “You’re a Watchful Eye that is married? I'm... that’s - new, for me."

    or

    Five times Olruggio jokes (and lies) that he’s married and has kids to (dodge) people (mostly his clients), and that one time he [redacted].

    "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.
