    Summary

    Qifrey didn't give off the impression that he was physically strong. On the contrary, he looked like a frail ice prince—a character in those fairy tales Olruggio had read about when he was young.

    Or, Olruggio struggles to come to terms with Qifrey's not-so-hidden strength. In the process of it, he uncovers a rather concerning truth about himself.

    Summary

    “Blooming, thank you, Professor Karkaroff,” Dumbledore replies, but whatever else is said is lost on Shane's ears as right then, Shane makes eye contact with Durmstrang's second-in-commend. 

    Ilya fucking Rozanov stares back at him. 

    And

    winks. 

    The girl in front of Shane squeals like it had been directed to her, but Shane knows Rozanov too well from the one time they'd played each other in the 17-and-unders. Or rather, Shane knows him as the chaser that kept Team Canada from winning the junior league last year. 

    Ilya fucking Rozanov only winks at people he wants to piss off.

    Shane is so, so fucked.

    Or: Durmstrang student Ilya and Slytherin Head Boy Shane commiserate about the lack of Quidditch, and maybe even solve the mystery surrounding their strange new DADA professor. (And possibly fall in love, if Harry Potter would stop accusing Shane of being an evil Slytherin.)

    Summary

    “You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.

    Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.

    “Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”

    // OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.

    Summary

    For the record, Ajax was not at all opposed to being sent on missions as another Harbinger's backup. As long as he was given things to fight and the rest of the tasks were not excruciatingly boring to get through, Tartaglia would comply without issues.

    The actual mission, the actual tasks, the actual experience of being the backup was not the issue here.
    The issue was-

    ...He was the only Harbinger being tasked with things like these. The only Harbinger being designated as backup. The only Harbinger being treated like a class below the rest.

    (Because Tartaglia was rash and reckless and could not be trusted to keep himself safe.
    Tartaglia was to be looked after like an unpredictable rabid animal that only behaved under certain conditions.

    Tartaglia was off.)

    ---

    Or, Childe struggles to understand why the Tsaritsa insists on treating him differently from the other Harbingers, and tries to pretend like his affiliations aren't irrevocably shifting towards the mysterious god he meets in Liyue.
