    Summary

    Moments from the Atelier that are Olruggio or Qifrey's pov. Originally started from two pov on the same conversation but we've devolved from there.

    Summary

    Each chapter is a different slice of life moment from around the atelier. It starts with Agott's arrival and goes post-deforestation. Lots of yearning and then figuring things out between Orufrey and love between everyone as their family grows.

    -

    “What are you doing?” Qifrey looked up to find Olly standing in the hall, one eyebrow slightly quirked.

    Qifrey meant to say he was fine, that he was just remembering their days as apprentices, that Agott was settling in well, or even that Olly was so good with her.

    What he actually said was, “What if she drowns in the bath?”

    Summary

    "Are you sure about this?"

    Qifrey, sitting on his heels to inspect the soil, looked up and blinked. "Did you have a better location in mind? You should’ve said so earlier."

    "That wasn’t what I meant and you know it. Are you sure about leaving the Great Hall?"

    Qifrey got up, cleaning his hands on a cloth as he went. He looked ethereal in the morning sun, his white hair glowing in the soft light and an expression on his face as if butter wouldn’t melt in his mouth. "Of course I am. My master was stifling enough and you know what I think of witch society as a whole."

    Olruggio had to fight the urge to kiss his lying mouth.

    It was a smart thing to say. It invited people to cut him off, to stop him from saying things they didn’t want to hear. Shut that blasphemous trap of his, Olruggio had heard more than one master say through the years. But Olruggio has been with Qifrey for too long, and was too close to him, for it to work in truth. 

    He just watched his friend until Qifrey averted his eyes and went back to inspecting the soil.

    Neither of them said anything.


    Qifrey and Olruggio build a home. The atelier, and they, have a long way to go.

    Summary

    Come morning, he will definitely blame the sleep deprivation for what he’s about to do. His body moves almost on its own, seeking Qifrey’s warmth; his arms curl around deceptively slim shoulders, and Olruggio buries his head in those white locks.
    They’re softer than he thought.

    Or: five times Olruggio touches Qifrey’s hair, and one time Qifrey returns the favor.

    Summary

    After Qifrey passes the fifth test and he and Olruggio return to the Atelier they are still in the process of fixing up, the two are hardly expecting to welcome Qifrey's first apprentice that very night. Agott has other ideas.
