    Summary

    Coco was close, so close that the possibility of failing at this point clouded her judgment regarding her next moves.

    She reached out as far as she could, applying more pressure with her torso and knees, which served as support.

    Heat radiated from Riche’s skin, and the mere sensation emboldened Coco enough to reach for her quickly and pull her as if her life depended on it. Riche was pulled away, sliding to a safer spot than Coco’s current position by sheer momentum.

    When she looked back, three pairs of stunned eyes watched her in silence. Their expressions hovered in a limbo between anxiety and fear, unsure of how to react to what they had just witnessed. 

    Still, Coco… She had done it! She had saved her friend from danger! She can finally do something! She—!

     
    “COCO!”

     

    The ice finally gave way beneath her feet.

    Summary

    None of it mattered. Agott sits by the fireside, practicing her spells at a low table suitable for her height. She never complains, or speaks more than she needed to. She does what she is told, helps with the house chores, and spends the rest of her time working away through her studies until the sun sets. She was the ideal apprentice, and it was terrible.

    Or, Qifrey navigates all the ups and downs of having Agott Arklaum as his first apprentice

    Summary

    Certain things have come and gone, problems, disagreements, and obligations as witches—but the two of them are as strong as ever, bound together like a tightly coiled knot of string that not even a pin could ease loose.

    In more recent times, however, a development has come about. An extra pair of feet that tip-tap about the atelier.

    “Qiqi,” Agott calls out, an affectionate nickname on her lips. Although it isn't the official name given to the young girl that often pitter-patters about their home, it is the alias she finds sitting readily atop her tongue whenever curly green hair comes into frame. “Qiqi, honey, come out. We're not playing hide and seek any more."

    ----

    OR: Coco and Agott can't find their daughter.

    Summary

    "Speaking of ateliers," Tetia said, "it's been ten years since we graduated."

    "Nine," Agott corrected. "Next summer, it will be ten."

    Tetia smiled. "But I might be away then! What do you say to an early reunion? Come on, Agott, it would be fun! When was the last time you saw Master Qifrey and Master Olruggio? We can ask Richeh to come, too!"

    Thirteen years after Coco passed the third test and moved back to stay with her mother, Agott returns to the atelier.
