    Summary

    Agott trusts Olruggio more than she trusts Qifrey, and perhaps that is because Qifrey's longing is occasionally too big to be silent. He imagines that it hangs in the air like a sour smell when he takes her shopping for robes or watches her curtsy neatly to the farmers when they buy freshly milled wheat. It is humiliating and shameful to covet girlhood like this, and every time he catches himself at it, a fear runs through him so sharp that it leaves bruises on his soul – the idea that anyone might see this as perversion is more than enough to keep his nights restless and his calm superficial. Qifrey is convinced that even Olruggio, whose comments over the years have ranged from endearingly naive to knowingly supportive, would be unable to bear witness to these tendencies without misunderstanding the root of the desire.

    Four girlhoods that were not Qifrey's, and the one that was.

    Summary

    The most common instances of forbidden magic were always because of illness or injury, always to save a loved one. The cruelty of death was always far sharper than the threat of the Knights Moralis.

    It was why medicine was treated almost the same as forbidden magic, why illness was such a delicate subject among witches. Because they were defenseless against it, and mortality is frightening to those with power at their fingertips.

    Agott's existence, for this reason, was unsuitable for the circumstances.

    Happy Birthday Agott and Happy Disability Pride Month!

    Summary

    It held all the hallmarks of a fairytale dream, but to Qifrey, a man who had abandoned all fantasies against the cruel waves that drowned the world, it was the make of ruin.

    The Duke held his gaze in a way that made it impossible to deny the implausible: Olruggio of Ghodfrey intended for him.

    "Lord Qifrey," the Duke said, and dropped to his knee with a confidence that spoke of no doubts. "Will you permit me the honour of your hand in marriage?"

    When Qifrey receives an unexpected proposal from the most powerful stranger in the kingdom, he has no choice but to agree.

    Or: a historical AU inspired by otome isekai manhwa, featuring Qifrey as wary bride and Olruggio as cold Duke of the North.

    Summary

    On a rainy afternoon, Easthies looked at the window and said, wouldn't it be nice to be a witch. He said it like a daydream. Like something he'd just thought of and found charming. Utowin looked at him and thought, You were. You were, and you were so afraid of it, and I never saw that clearly, and I am sorry, and you will never know I said that.

    "If he's happier now," Luluci said, "what exactly are you trying to protect?"
    Utowin didn't have an answer. That, in itself, was the answer.

    or
    Easthies lost his memories. Utowin lost Easthies. The cat showed up anyway.
    canon-divergence from chapter 96 of "If Easthies was punished to become an outsider to compensate for his actions during the Silver Eve Festival incident"
