Summary
Merlin was rolling his eyes just as Art picked him out from the crowd and asked him onto the makeshift stage. There was a look in Art’s eyes that Merlin found disarming. It was, at its heart, the same kind of curiosity that Merlin had felt. And something else too, something indefinable.

Summary
Eliot’s always prided himself on the fact that his coven turns out higher caliber of witches because he teaches better than most half-baked hedge leaders, but even he has bowed to this time-honored and necessary tradition. At least he never locks people in freezers, fuck you Marina you absolute psychopath.
If maybe Eliot’s new-member screening test is a passingly similar to the Brakebills entrance exams, fucking sue him, he’s classically trained. All similarities to Brakebills stop there. He’s not gonna wiped any of these kids memories. They can stumble back out into the world and find less discerning hedges to take them on.

Summary
There’s a layer of dust coating everything in the cottage, like nobody’s been here since them. A thick white film, almost the perfect representation of what their lives ended up being. He swipes a finger along the counter as he goes, a thin streak left behind, as he marvels at the fact that it’s exactly how they left it — despite never having actually been here. Even the lines along the doorway to the kitchen, where Quentin had insisted on marking Teddy’s height; Eliot pauses here, to press his nail into the tallest mark, a soft smile dancing along his lips at the memory of Quentin pouting when they finally had the proof that Teddy had officially grown taller than him.
He swallows down a lump and moves down the short hallway. The door to the bedroom is closed, and he hesitates for a moment, before reaching out and wrapping his hand around the knob. He freezes, a memory flashing of Quentin.

Or, hey there's actually a use for the vial of blood.

Summary
A happy place can be many things: a childhood hiding spot or warm bed, a parent's embrace or home that is finally our own. Above all else it is a place where we feel safe when everything around us is falling apart.
Eliot knows this as well as anyone.

Summary
"True love's kiss — you're fucking with me, right?" Margo searches Quentin's face with her wide doe eyes, a skeptical gleam working to hide the hope he knows is hovering right there in her mind. "I mean, not only is it rapey as hell, but we don't even know if it'll work."
Quentin thinks of Eliot being physically and mentally drained every second they're not doing something to help. The monster said it himself — he's a creature of habit. So what if they could finally break that loop? He eventually sighs, and levels with her. "It's worth a try, isn't it?"

Summary
… is requested at the celebration of the legal solemnization of the ecstatic conjugal bliss between Formerly High King Now Courtesy-Title-Only King Eliot and King Quentin-- Actually just Quentin is-- No. You’re a King. King Quentin. Italicize that. Conjugal, too. Anyway, blah blah blah. Time date place. Her serene and stabby majesty High King Fen will serenely stab you if you decline to attend and/or bring off-registry gifts--
Wait. Hold on a sec. Lemme see that . . . oh. El, he’s. Christ. He’s transcribing this word for word. Like, every word-- Of course he is-- Tick. TICK! Jesus, how is he still writing? Also, how is his calligraphy that good, seriously?
You’ve been on Earth too long, baby. Well, let’s just lean in, shall we? Love Fillorian style. We’re getting fucking married. You’re invited. Bunny us your regrets only.
And you will regret it. Italicize the will. All caps. And a very tasteful sketch of my hand up King Quentin’s--
Eliot and Quentin are getting married. A story in three acts, as told by three of the somewhat less dearly beloved, gathered here today.
(Or: the best thing about true love? It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone except the ones in it.)

Summary
Alice’s decision was made, and there was no time to get any readier, because-- he was blinking, like he was finally becoming aware of where he was. And then he was stepping forward on legs that were unsteady like a newborn colt’s, and that should have made Alice like him more than she had in their past. Maybe it would have, if she wasn’t waiting to see if he was going to burn them all to the ground.
(And if the sight hadn’t made Q gasp, like he was seeing a miracle, just past her right shoulder.)
A post-possession reunion story, as told by the last person Quentin risked everything to save.

Summary
"The Curse of the Lover's Touch," Kady said, slapping down a piece of paper on the bedside table next to Q. Her lip actually curled as she said it, as she seemingly realized how nauseating the name was.
"It's actually pretty simple. Hedges usually only bother with it when they think someone is unloved and alone, because it's a double-whammy, see? You start dying, slowly and painfully, and you also get the knowledge that if you weren't such a dickhead and you had true love in your life, you'd be totally fine."
Q gets cursed, and Alice can't help. Magic forces Q and Eliot to cuddle and talk about their feelings.

Summary
By the time Eliot is back in his body and is released from the infirmary, Quentin is still asleep.
No, not asleep. Quentin is still in a coma. And Eliot put him there. The horrifying part, the part that pierces into him like barbed wire around his heart, his lungs, his abused liver... the part that makes him feel like he's made of electrical fencing, is that he remembers all of it.
He remembers every mark the Monster made on Quentin: every cut, every puncture, every punch, every burn. He remembers the feel of Quentin's bones breaking under the grip of his hands. He remembers the taste of Quentin's blood, as the Monster dragged Eliot's tongue over the open wounds he had imprinted into Quentin's skin with a shard of glass. He remembers the sounds Quentin made, broken moans and agonized cries. He remembers the choking and retching when Quentin started coughing up blood, and he remembers Quentin begging, begging for Eliot to wake up, to please wake up so the Monster couldn't hurt him anymore.
____
The Monster took Quentin hostage and tortured him for a month. The boys both have a lot of healing to do.

His heart is beating so hard, he’s scared it’ll jump right out of his chest. Time stills, he stops breathing, and the words drop out of his mouth before he can stop them, “Like you love me.”
