Summary
A witch’s pen, ink, and quire are their most important possessions, and to lose even one of their three most coveted components oft renders the ability for a witch to cast null in its entirety. It is a true feat of talent, skill, and practice to be able to write seals upon surfaces different from those meant for a standard, or even specialized, woodcuror wand or dip pen. For a witch to be able to cast without conjuring ink, well that is something that is simply impossible, at least for those of upstanding witch society. Which is why, of all the components that each and every witch uses, each and every day, they always take extra care to keep their ink well stocked, and safe above all else.
'a witch must never lose their casting components, their ink specifically.' that is the teaching the great hall duly impressed into every young witch's mind.
Qifrey is not the average witch born of the great hall, though.
Qifrey will never be left without ink, and this is not a blessing

Summary
He found himself staying longer and longer in the nursery, carefully rotating the egg as the many books he procured instructed. He held it close to let his body heat keep it warm, longing to search the stars for who it would be, how it would grow and live and, eventually, once Stolas himself was dust, die too.
(Or, in the aftermath of Should We Voyage Far's showdown, death leaves something behind.)

Summary
"The frequency helps, you know." Loona’s voice was just audible in the darkness, but it pulled him back to reality like the stringing drag of a suture thread. His gaze swam back into focus on her face.
"What?" His voice came out raw, unused.
"The purring." She gestured at Blitzø, who remained dead to the world, vibrating steadily against Stolas' chest.
"It's not just some cute shit they do. When they're hurt, or when someone they..." she paused, choosing her words carefully, "someone they care about is hurt, they purr at specific frequencies. Helps with pain, healing, that kind of thing. Dad hasn't stopped since you got here."
