Summary
“I wrote Q a letter, then me and Alice dropped it down a well at the top of the Mountain of Ghosts, yada yada yada,” Eliot says. “But I didn’t think it would *actually* reach him.”
Julia’s eyes go wide. “What did it say?”
He opens his mouth to tell her, but Quentin beats him to the punch.
“To Quentin Coldwater, before he went to the Seam: Come back, asshole.”
“Um. Yeah. That.”
—————————
In which Quentin returns to the land of the living for the very simple reason that Eliot asked him to.

Summary
May include Amnesia
~~~
Quentin Coldwater is alive and he has almost complete amnesia.
But it’s okay because he has some friends at his magic school, and he doesn’t need the memories anyway.
But maybe it’s not when some faces from a forgotten past show up.
~~~
Quentin remembers very little when he comes back to life. He knows who he is (Quentin Makepeace Coldwater, age 28, bisexual, and a Magician.) -

Summary
Even in the face of fifty plus years at the Mosaic…five years together in this life still felt like an amazing achievement to Eliot. Five years he never thought they’d have. Grateful for every day, even when he was floundering in the fear that he didn’t know how to do this. Until Quentin caught him with a laugh, a kiss, a “Hey” with smiling eyes.
In Quentin he found the home, happiness, and love he’d never had before in this life. He wanted to do something for Quentin that matched the magnitude of what Quentin had given him.
Of course, the best-laid plans are bound to go sideways, when magic’s involved.
On the afternoon of their five-year anniversary, Julia calls Eliot to tell him Quentin will be late for dinner.
“I don’t know why, but three portals malfunctioned at once. The third one got detached somehow and connected to an unknown world. Don’t worry, Q’s fixing them.”
“Don’t worry! Detached portals! Unknown worlds!” He could barely speak, his throat was so tight. “Tell him to wait. I’ll be right there.”
“El, I don’t know what to tell you. He’s already gone.”
It hit him like a sudden brick to the chest.

Finding A Way- A Queliot Adventure by AWriterofTaste

Summary
Eliot Waugh can't give up on the chance he had with the man he loves. No one really did get proof of concept like that. If Alice could come back from being a niffin, if Penny 23 could hop timelines, if Julia could become a goddess, if every other redemption was possible, then was his own. One way or another he'd find his way back to Q.

Summary
Ever since Quentin had come back from the mirror realm, things had been… different. He had been different. He knew it, and he knew everyone else was noticing it too.
After everything that had happened, they finally had a break… so why did he still feel like he couldn’t breathe? -

Summary
Eliot keeps vigil.
"You need to understand that he - he did this for us, for everyone. He had to take a risk and it worked, but he was hurt real bad, El. He’s - I can’t honestly say that he’s okay. He’s still out."
Eliot took a moment to process this information, that Quentin was hurt, which meant he was nearby, but he wasn’t all right, which meant in some ways he was not nearby, and in some ways he was becoming less nearby by the second, and every moment Eliot was laid up and not closer to him was a waste because what if he was never nearby again?

Summary
Quentin just smiled, tightening his hold on Eliot's hand and drawing it up to press a kiss to his knuckles. "We earned it. This. Us. It's going to take more than some shitty writing from whoever's in charge of our universe to keep us apart."

Summary
Eliot heals.
For a moment, Eliot thought that Quentin might lean forward. He hoped for it. But then Quentin only looked at him and smiled, small and sad. He tucked a stray curl behind Eliot's ear and withdrew his hand too quickly.
"Goodnight," he said.
Eliot tried to smile, fighting the ache in his chest. "Night, Q."

Summary
He breathed out, used to this, it had happened to him often enough. There were even times, during those months when Eliot was gone, that he woke up this way, when he managed to get sleep at all.
*
Lazy morning sex that turns not so lazy, Eliot whispers filthy things, Quentin discovers new kinks, and he and Eliot love each other so damn much his heart might burst with it.
