Summary
Set loosely in the timeline post-s1e4.
His time under Julia's spell affected Quentin more than he'd like to admit. Days later, a part of him is still convinced he'll wake up to discover magic is fake and he's once again institutionalized. This is making it very difficult to sleep. Good thing he has friends willing to look out for him.

This Slope is Treacherous by MysticMuse27

Summary
In a world where only Magicians present with sexual designations, Alphas Margo Hanson and Eliot Waugh had two main rules: no omegas and no undesignated first years.
Obviously, they had a third rule. But it didn't need reiterating: Margo and Eliot came first. They were a unit.
They keep their habit of seducing first year Brakebills boys to presented Betas and Alphas and outside of their own dynamic the duo don't really have friends.
When first-year Quentin Coldwater shows up all doe-eyed, Eliot is surprised when he worms his way under his skin and Margo can barely admit that she can't get him out of her head. Quentin is mostly oblivious, as usual.
What happens when Margo and Eliot get to know Quentin while waiting for him to present?
The duo wasn't looking for a regular, let alone a committed third, at least as far as Margo knew.
What happens when Quentin finally presents? Far later than most magical adepts, in the middle of the cottage sitting room?

What You Needed All Along by Anonymous

Summary
Quentin didn’t mean to sit at Eliot’s feet during the party. It just felt... easier there. Easier than pretending to be okay. Easier than pretending not to want.
When Eliot starts giving him gentle instructions without even thinking—asking for a drink, patting the seat beside him, calling him “darling” like it’s always been true—Quentin follows without hesitation. It’s not until he realizes how quiet his brain has gone, how floaty and soft his body feels, that it hits him: he’s slipped into subspace without even knowing it.
Luckily, Eliot notices. And Margo? She always notices. Between the two of them, they wrap Quentin in calm, in warmth, in quiet command and soft care. Maybe it wasn’t just an accident. Maybe this—being held, being known, being theirs—was what he needed all along.
