    Summary

    "Congrats to you and Qifrey, I guess, but it's a bit stupid to exchange hat ornaments." Easthies says, dipping his spoon into the dewberry pudding on his plate. "They're a sign of who your teachers are, after all."

    "I don't meddle in your youthful pursuits, Olruggio, but I'd prefer you two choose another accessory to exchange if you want to show your relationship," his master says, his expression somewhere in between cautious and disapproving. "Your hat ornaments aren't really appropriate for that sort of thing, you see."

    "So, Olruggio," Alaira says, grinning from ear to ear. "Any news you want to share with me? I'm all ears."

    Every single person in the Great Hall seems to have something to say about this, everyone except for Qifrey. And Olruggio desperately needs any kind of explanation from his friend, because all these rumors are getting too much for him, and feelings he cannot quite understand are starting to creep into his mind.

    or: Olruggio reminisces about the first of his many heartbreaks. It must be Coco and that kid's wee bracelets that pulled this memory from among the other dusty ones. Or maybe it's starry skies like tonight's that's making his heart bleed.

    Summary

    “Trouble?” Qifrey asked.

    “Trouble might be a stretch,” Olly replied, “but I should go anyway. Will you be all right here? Should be back in a couple of hours.”

    “Yes, of course. Don’t worry about me.”

    Robes shuffled, then a kiss was pressed to Qifrey’s temple. “I’ll always worry about you.”

    Months after the last of the apprentices leave the atelier, blind Qifrey navigates a day alone.

    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

    “You always told me to close my eyes and wish for something that made me happy.” Choked murmurs escaped her. “No matter how silly it was, you said the stars would always grant my wish.”

    Teeth clamped down on her tongue before the echoes could pervade any longer. Kanade retracted her hand, shoving it into her pocket.

    “I'm sorry. I don't know if I really am. If I'm happy.”

    ━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

    Amidst unfulfilled promises, Kanade struggles to make a wish for herself. Nightcord shows her how.

    Summary

    After they had left, An felt hollowed, like a tree stump dried of its lymph and left in the middle of nowhere to wilt and wither, sunlight stolen from it. People rushed past her, striving and reaching for their goals, grasping them and clutching them, cradling them close to their chests as they proudly crowned their dreams, while An, stupid, stubborn An, was left alone, standing still in the middle of the crowd that moved forward without her.

    Birthdays lost all of their magic, now that her family had fallen apart, and she wished she had someone that made her feel as warm as they did.

    Or,
    An used to love her birthdays as a kid, but as each year passed, she found herself more and more alone, abandoned by the people she loved the most. Perhaps she will find someone who will stand by her side, at some point.

    Summary

    Toya knows about devotion — or maybe he once did, before the very thought of life itself became unbearable. Wake, practice, sleep. Rinse and repeat. Oh, how he'd try to run — and how laughable it is he's now running around with a boy who's doing the same for street music, a boy who doesn't know how much of a coward he is.

    But this same boy is now bandaging his hands so gently, more worried about his injuries than he is. How can he find it in himself to turn away? It's selfish, despicable, but — he wants to stay by his side, just a little bit longer.

    Hurting has become less unbearable for Toya, now that Akito’s there to patch him back up.

    Summary

    “I’m 20 now,” Toya says. Akito raises an eyebrow at him, waiting for him to continue. “There’s still a lot I haven’t experienced. And while I was shopping, I saw the shelves, and I thought…I might as well try this now that I can, at least once.”


    Toya wants to try something new. Akito thinks of forever.

    Summary

    Akito had been expecting a cake, or something simple like that, but this sort of twist isn’t really a surprise. Even after so long, Toya’s still trying new things; it’s something that’s never left him. It’s one of the countless parts of his husband that Akito doesn’t think he’ll ever get tired of.

    It’s been twenty-two years, after all, and twenty-nine since they’ve met. He’s forty-five and Toya’s forty-six, and Akito doesn’t think this fondness will ever leave him.


    Akito and Toya celebrate their 22nd anniversary.

    Summary

    Oh. Something is different. Something is right. And that fact is unfathomably wrong.

    The body slotted against Akito’s is warm, the clean edges fitting seamlessly into his vague graphite shape. The cool breaths falling against his mouth taste like life, and his head spins with the love that beats in time with his pounding heartbeat. And something impossibly sweet turns in his chest.

    Lips move and breath forms. Lungs turn stiff and blood vessels empty– filling, turning, burning, with the wonder of an infant. The blanket is unspeakably warm. And the mattress dips with a familiar figure.

    The bed is not empty.

    He can barely believe his eyes.

    After Toya's death, Akito struggles to live alone.

    But maybe what's dead isn't truly gone.

    Was called into work this morning, so I've had to leave early. Call me if you want anything from the shop.

    Extra coffee grounds are in the island cupboard if you need it, noticed we were low.

     

    I love you, I'll be home soon,

    Summary

    Ralsei could count the days on one hand since Kris and Susie had arrived, but to him, it felt like he had wandered through a thousand autumns and springs by their side. Their presence carried the bittersweet familiarity of something half-remembered, as if their souls had been spinning in perpetual figure-eights only to be drawn again to one another in every lifetime. Like stars caught in mutual orbit, their paths never truly diverged, only curved gently toward their inevitable collision.

    He loved them with the humble certainty of someone who always had.

    It wasn’t as though he hadn’t prepared for this. He had always known he was meant to meet them, had held the thought like a lantern as he envisioned their arrival in every imaginable light. But no amount of speculation could compare to reality, an anomaly proving itself time and time again to be infinitely more wondrous.
