    Summary

    What did their life look like from Olruggio’s eyes, Qifrey wondered. Did he too lie awake and restless long after saying goodnight, wondering why he slept alone?… How did moths, so entranced by the light of fire, know to stay far enough away lest that flame hurt them? Was it some primordial memory that survived passed down on instinct?

    Perhaps Olruggio was the same; maybe even now he wished to confess his secret feelings but some instinct deep down whispered, “turn back, don’t get too close - it will hurt you.”

    · · ─ ·✶· ─ · ·

    Olruggio invites Qifrey to a party. Sadly, Qifrey has a wonderful time.

    Summary

    In this world, the first words your soulmate speaks to you are tattooed on your skin from birth.

    Wriothesley hears his on the day he stands - a ragged, scrawny teenager, his hands still feeling the sticky warmth of another’s blood - in the middle of a world he’d only ever seen in newspapers. And looking down on him was a divinity... dressed in elegant robes, with hair the color of moonlight on water.

    In that moment, Wriothesley swore an oath to himself that he would not utter a single word in reply. After all, what right did he have to taint this divinity with his own filth?

    Summary

    “Lots of nerdy dudes with intimacy issues keep fish tanks.”

    When Neuvillette learns how close Wriothesley came to being killed by the Primordial Sea, he finds his desire to care for the Melusines (diligently and from a safe emotional distance) has expanded to include the Duke of the Fortress of Meropide.

    It’s not that odd. Neuvillette can do his best to help this particular human thrive, just like he’s done with the Melusines. It will help him better understand humans in general, which will help him better understand his purpose.

    Surely he’s never going to have to think about it any more closely than that.

    Summary

    "It was the first time Wriothesley would meet the Chief Justice in his official capacity as Administrator of Meropide. Technically, they'd met once before—at his trial, where said Chief Justice had sentenced him as a mass murderer. So that was a promising start.
    Given the choice, Wriothesley would have preferred dealing with literally anyone else. It was absurd that there was no intermediary bureaucrat handling Meropide affairs, that everything went straight to the highest judicial authority in Fontaine. Some mid-level functionary would have been far easier to manipulate—to study their weaknesses, learn what made them tick, and carefully position himself as an indispensable ally. But no, he had to charm the one man in Fontaine supposedly immune to charm."
    ___
    This is slowburn years long exploration of paranoid traumatized manipulator Wriothesley learning to trust and then falling for Neuvillette, the journey from when he first becomes the Warden to the canon time.
