    Summary

    To save his life, Qifrey the Witch had to do two things: lose his eyesight, and make everyone forget all about—well, Qifrey the Witch.

    Twenty years later, he has settled into a half-life at the margins of the world; mending pots, listening to rain, troubling no one and troubled by no one in return. When he goes to a spring festival, three not-quite-strangers happen upon his bench.

    ☆ Or: decades after he made the world forget him, Qifrey meets Coco, Agott, and Olruggio for the second first time.

    Summary

    “Years ago,” Qifrey says suddenly, “And you won’t remember this, you made me make you a promise. And I’ve kept it, until now.” As he talks, Qifrey fidgets with his hat. He turns it around and around in his hands, then unhooks the ribbon from the point.

    “Hey—”

    Olruggio steps forward as if to stop him, but it’s done. Qifrey twists the ribbon in his hand, crumpling it.

    “That’s—”

    “Your ribbon. And my promise. I’ve worn them both for years. For you. And for myself. But Olly—I asked you here because I can’t do it anymore.”

    Summary

    Memory is a fickle thing when it wants to be. Especially when faced with the absence of what should be known.

    The best way Olruggio could describe the feeling was if he was standing in a room in the dark. He’s walked this room thousands of times before so realistically he should be fine. But everything has been shifted off center by an inch or two in different directions. And suddenly he’s running into corners that shouldn’t be there.

    Summary

    "Off to sleep?"

    “You said no bedtimes,” Qifrey cried, pointing an accusatory finger at him. “You said!"

    “Yes, I did.” A decision Beldaruit was already regretting. “It was just a question.”

    --

    Nine-year-old Olruggio and Qifrey have their first sleepover. Beldaruit has feelings. Somehow, they find common ground.

    Summary

    “Olruggio,” she said, as if it was obvious. “Is he like your boyfriend?”

    “Yes?” Qifrey blinked at Alaira’s foolishness. Olly was his friend, and a boy. Duh. “Of course he’s my boyfriend.”

    -

    A young Qifrey accidentally starts a rumour about himself and Olruggio that quickly gets out of hand.
