    Summary

    Olruggio’s love was a death sentence. To be understood by Olruggio, to be completely accepted by him, was the most beautiful executioner's axe in the world. He could not bask in the warm sunlight that was Olruggio’s affection while upholding his promise. The only way forward he could think of was to cut himself free from the strings that bound the two together, to hope the pain of having this negative space follow him everywhere he went was enough to sufficiently stave off the silverwood roots. To abandon his dearest friend.

    ~

    Separated by choice and bound by immeasurable grief, Qifrey and Olruggio attempt to find the edges of themselves through a year and a half of letters — until the silence becomes too loud to bear.

    Summary

    A memory-wiped prisoner is rescued by a group of witches who claim to know him; who even claim to love him. How can this be?

    Is it better, is it easier to forget, in the end?

    Summary

    The Summer of 2008; a boy is found by the riverside, nearly drowned with severe injuries, not knowing his past, where he came from, or even is his name.

    After being adopted, Qifrey tries to adjust to a normal life, but he's always the "other", the odd one out, to everyone. Everyone, that is, except the boy who just won't leave him alone. Olruggio. He keeps trying to be Qifrey's friend, and no matter how much he refuses, Olruggio is persistent.

    Maybe its a good thing

    Summary

    The role of Watchful Eye was born from a place of distrust, and yet Olruggio had chosen it anyway so he could stand between Qifrey and the Council if it ever came down to it.

    After Qifrey passes the Fifth Pentagram Test, he and Olruggio find themselves at a crossroads as they have a heart-to-heart about their futures as independent witches. This is Qifrey’s chance to leave Olruggio behind and free him from a burden he doesn’t remember carrying, but Olruggio isn’t having it.

    Or: How Olruggio came to take on the mantle of the Watchful Eye at Qifrey’s atelier.

    Summary

    "Hey, it's just me," Olruggio smiled. "No need to stress over anythin'."
    Of course it was just him.
    It was always just him.
    Them, together.
    Ever since they were kids.
    "A hug."
    "What?"
    "I just want a hug, Olly."
