    Summary

    (Spoilers for Chapter 93)

    Perhaps, if Qifrey had not been cursed by the silverwood, he would have done things differently. He would have looked at Olruggio with two eyes wide open. He would have realized he was in love with him when was fifteen, or maybe even a little before then, and Olruggio would have told him he knew the moment he saw him. Maybe they would have had years of cuddling and holding hands and sharing a bed and nothing else. Maybe they would have simply enjoyed being in each other's presence until the desire for more eventually simmered, and they would have explored it with stumbling, eager hands and a fire that kindled brighter over time.

    The issue was that even though the silverwood was gone, Qifrey's body did not realize it. He still felt the ancient tree inside of him, with its silver-scaled bark and its moon-like leaves fanning in his lungs. Felt it whenever Olruggio curved his hand over his cheek and brushed his lips over his, felt it even when he tried to do something as innocent as threading their fingers together.

    It turned out that even after you pulled something out by the root, the ghost of it still lingered long after it was gone.
