Summary
“Are you alright?” Olruggio asks, beating Qifrey to the chase of asking silly questions. “I figured you might be feeling a bit disoriented.”
“I’m alright,” Qifrey catches the lie immediately after it slips out, the light smile accompanying it. He bites his cheek, there was no need for it really. “A bit disoriented, yes, you’re right about that, but I’ll be alright I’m… happy to be back.” He’s finished with a truth at least, that has to be progress.
OR
Qifrey is finally free to live his life with no more secrets, and no more lies, to indulge in the comfort he's craved for so long. But it could never be that easy.

Summary
----
He doesn't understand why Qifrey accepts Olly's hands on his body in moments like these when he’s uncomfortable, or in pain, but can not bear to define what it is that brings him there in the first place.
Perhaps he doesn't want to, and Olly should accept what fractions he's allowed.

Summary
Fairness is a value that Qifrey has come to understand—has pretty much understood from the moment he woke up buried alive—will never apply to him. It’s something that no one will get all of the time, but he will never even come close to grasping. It shouldn’t be so surprising when it happens. Something about this instance feels particularly silly to him, though.
Unfair is being judged for his unforgivable sin of having his eye plucked from his socket and left with weaker vision for the rest of his life. Unfair is roots growing underneath his skin because two whole people deign to love him. Unfair is a spell to his best friend’s head and a smile that will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Unfair, put plainly, is life and death. A dance should not be so easily tossed into the same category.

Summary
“I never paid you back,” Qifrey gasps out with the first sharp throb of his pulse. An odd pleasure, he squirms beneath Olruggio’s mouth as stubble prickles against his collarbone. “For the dance lessons. I owe you something.” Tugging at Olruggio’s belt, his hands twitch as teeth scrape against bone.
Somehow Olruggio understands the assignment without Qifrey ever explaining it to him. For a moment he’s annoyed; of course Olruggio would be an over-achiever at sex.
After the wedding, Qifrey returns to Olruggio’s inn.

Summary
From a small neat stack on top of the cabinet, Olruggio grabs a piece of paper, scrawls a casting seal on it, and places it inside. A wheel starts turning and the sound of music starts playing.
Jaunty notes fill the space, and the way Olruggio starts to sway to the tune makes Qifrey’s head spin.
Somehow he’s expected to endure this?
“Now then,” Olruggio says, wheeling around to face him. “Ready to begin?”
Reeling from a devestating failure, Qifrey now faces the greatest humiliation of all: a wedding in witch society. With help from his friends, Qifrey attempts to stave off social ruin, but life’s changes begin to unravel the only safety net he’s ever known. Fearing being left behind, Qifrey wrestles with his most prized and most reviled possession, Olruggio’s devotion.

Summary
There it was, that thing Qifrey did, where he offered a piece of himself wrapped in observation about someone else, like a gift hidden inside a gift, and you had to decide whether to unwrap the second layer or pretend you had only received the first. Olruggio had spent half his life learning to read these offerings and in doing so he had become the foremost scholar of a language spoken by exactly one person in all the world.
"I'm stubborn because someone has to be," he said. "You'd float away on your own mysteries if no one kept you tethered."
"Perhaps." The maddingly sad smile again. "Perhaps that's so."
In which Olruggio brings tea to Qifrey's study on a damp evening and finds him working in the dark again, the staff out and the fire dying.

Summary
“Can you see me now?” Olruggio asks, leaning forward, and Qifrey’s expression darkens.
“A bit better,” he says, a hand coming around to hover at the back of Olruggio’s head. Olruggio grins, kisses the inside of his thigh, and moves back until his head comes into contact with that hand. Qifrey’s expression darkens further, his eye all pupil.
“Don’t look away from me,” Olruggio says.

Summary
The evidence in favour of Qifrey liking… requests, so to speak, has been piling up. The logical conclusion is on one side of the razor's edge, but Olruggio is still—dithering.
One-off requests are one thing, but Olruggio has a theory. He may not have any personal experience beyond Qifrey himself, but his commissions over the years have come from many and varied patrons, with many and varied tastes. Olruggio may not have much experience personally, but his wealth of professional experience borders on ridiculous.
Olruggio has a theory about Qifrey, and acts on it. Things, as they tend to between the two of them, spiral rapidly.

Bright One, Make It Real by CalamityUnlocked
Fandoms: とんがり帽子のアトリエ | Tongari Boushi no Atelier | Witch Hat Atelier (Manga)
23 Oct 2026
Tags
Summary
Qifrey doesn’t have a way of measuring the time, can’t pinpoint exactly how many seconds or minutes pass between the moment of him waking up and the man resting his head against Qifrey’s shoulder doing the same.
All Qifrey knows is that he wakes first. If he says something, if he moves, Olruggio does too. But if he lies absolutely still, breath shallow as a held note, his friend stays asleep a little longer, impossibly near, warm and alive and infinite and perfect.
But the moment can’t last forever. Eventually, Olruggio always wakes.
~
Stuck in a dungeon with no way out, Qifrey gets to wake up with Olruggio resting against his shoulder — and gets to lose him, over and over, time and time again.
OR: a non-linear time loop fic, inspired by the game In Stars and Time

Summary
The silverwood was gone, and with it Qifrey loses his sight, Olruggio loses his patience. The girls are terrified, but Qifrey keeps insisting he'll be fine. As he learns to live in a world gone dark, Olruggio and their apprentices must teach the one who always carried everyone else that he no longer has to bear the weight alone.
Or, Qifrey's blind.
Updates every weekend. This is fully written and currently undergoing edits before posting. I recommend reading up to Chapter 93 for the full emotional payoff, though it can still be read on its own (you won't able to see the foreshadowing). The tags is also covered for upcoming chapters, btw.

Summary
Olruggio goes quiet. It’s a moment before he speaks again. "Are we bad for each other, do you think?"
Qifrey’s gaze softens with sympathy. "Does that matter to you?"
"Be nice to know what we're in for is all."
A soft laugh in the dark. "No it wouldn't. Don't be silly."

Summary
Qifrey’s heartbeat seems to exist in every part of him. It’s in his chest, in his throat, in his stomach. A constant, rapid pulse that might destroy him from within in a way the Silverwood never could. Wouldn’t that be ironic? That the most human part of him ends up being the thing that kills him.
Thoughts regarding his inevitable end are pushed aside by the feeling of Olruggio’s palm against his cheek. The warmth of his hand bleeds into Qifrey’s skin, who, rather than pulling away, finds himself leaning forward when Olruggio moves closer. Eyes the color of the night sky beckon him forward and the smell of smoke and cinnamon wraps around him once more.
It’s safe here.
or: when they’re eighteen, they kiss for the first time.

Summary
It happens again, the way it always happens again and likely always will, when it's the two of them and something like peace hangs in the air.
The details may differ but the dance is the same, and the dancers.
Qifrey is weak, or maybe Olruggio's gravity is something no one could escape. He is lucky, and he is cursed, and he is afraid and excited.
Of course this is how it goes.

It's a quiet night at the atelier, and Qifrey can't hide his love. Olruggio doesn't even try. (It's not the first time, but it could be, from a different perspective.)
