EliotQueliot

And this is another piece I did for the Peaches and Plums Reverse Bang! For this one I was paired with @eliotqueliot who created an absolute monster of a fic (and I will never stop referring to it that way! I go "wow" every time I look at wordcount) Check it out!

@magicians4time (Librarity) and I have a new chapter for you, at last! Posted for the @magiciansfanworksextravaganza challenge Welcome Home!, Week 6: Welcome back to WIPs!

I made this animatic for the chapter. Please select the highest quality setting to clearly see the details (these are watercolor paintings).

Here's Librarity's beautiful fic with all the illustrations embedded:

We Could Build a Castle - Chapter 5 - EliotQueliot, Librarity - The Magicians (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

And here's the art side, where you can see everything that went into the art—the paintings, the drawings, stills from the vid, and the animatic. With a lot of behind the scenes with this one!

Strongly suggested for both AO3 and Tumblr entries

To make sure we have the best chance of seeing and reblogging your work, and to help out your hardworking mods, please submit this form to let us know you made something.

Please be aware this form has two pages; the theme choices are on page two.

Our team of mods will be looking out for your entries. We do sleep occasionally. But if a day goes by and your post hasn't been reblogged, we may not have seen it. Make sure you fill out this form before getting in touch.

When posting on Tumblr

Please both tag us: @magiciansfanworksextravaganza And also please put the following three # tags among your first five tags: #queliotweek2026 #mfequeliotweek #magiciansfanworksextravaganza

For each entry, please mention the event Queliot Week 2026, and be sure to name the Day # and themes you chose.

If you are sending separate entries from the same work (additional chapters, art, etc.), please make a separate Tumblr post for each individual entry, with a link to the specific chapter if you published on AO3.

Before you post: Take a look at your mention for us. Is it a live link? Can you click @magiciansfanworksextravaganza and get to our page? If not, try editing your post. If it's an AO3 share, position your cursor at the very end of the post, hit enter to start a new line, and start typing @magiciansfanworksextravaganza.

Additional Useful Things

Enjoy Prior Queliot Weeks!

Queliot Week 2019

This AO3 collection has 62 works for Queliot Week 2019 by multiple creators, but there are also some things on Tumblr that aren't on AO3.

Many works for the event can be found under the tags #queliot week 2019 and especially #queliotweek (this 2nd tag has more, but also does bring up some works for Queliot Week 2020).

The original Queliot Week 2019 website is beautiful and well worth checking out, but enter at your own risk: when I load it now (link below), virus protection is giving me a "threat secured" script warning; not sure why, but it seems to be fine with virus protection, as mine is blocking the problem script without any issues, and the works are still linking to AO3 and Tumblr. I love the original Queliot Week 2019 Tumblr website.

Queliot Week 2020

The original Tumblr website is gone, but many of the entries can still be found through the tags #queliotweek2020 and #queliotweek (this 2nd tag also brings up posts for Queliot Week 2019).

I couldn't find a single, unified AO3 collection, but some creators made their own personal Queliot Week 2020 series, while a few others used a custom AO3 tag. To the best of my ability, here's a link to all those things on AO3.

And here you'll find Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza's ongoing news about Queliot Week 2026 and beyond. This link will serve up all our Queliot Week content across all the years in one place!

THIS began as me just deciding I wanted to put wings on Eliot because I've never stopped being a little sad that we never got to see Eliot with wings on the show like we did in the book. And I did that... and then I got very carried away. It turned into the project I'm working on a little bit with @eliotqueliot (I say that as if they aren't doing all the work, they are, I'm just existing)

Behold!!!!!!!!

It's that time! Sign ups to be an artist for this year's Peaches and Plums Big Bang are officially live!

They will remain open until June 16th. (Yes, this is a departure from the original schedule, life has happened and there will be a handful of tweaks to the schedule, new post to follow.)

For more details please check out our information and schedule post, or our rules and FAQ page.

If you have any additional questions please reach out, we're always happy to help or chat!

And now, here's the Artist's Sign Up Form!!! Please come join us!

The moment when Eliot eats the peach and begins to remember the Mosaic is so beautiful. Hale does an amazing job. You can see so many emotions wash over him, the thoughtfulness in his eyes; you can practically taste that peach and feel its softness.

To see this watercolor painting with greater resolution/sharpness (if you have the chance to view it on a computer or laptop, you'll get more detail), visit Chapter 11 of Mosaic Haiku on AO3:

Mosaic Haiku (with Art) - Chapter 11 - EliotQueliot - The Magicians (TV) [Archive of Our Own]

Here's the drawing, with more thoughts on this moment, and some links to other posts I've made about Eliot and the peach:

And if you like to compare things, here's the rough draft/watercolor sketch:

For Day 7, Free Choice, Magicians Settings Week! Location: On the Way to the Rainbow Bridge

The Flower Spell by EliotQueliot

https://archiveofourown.org/works/46205761

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Magicians (TV) Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Relationships: Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh Characters: Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater Additional Tags: Episode: s02e01 Knight of Crowns, The Flower Spell, The Rainbow Bridge (Magicians)

  Summary:

This takes place during 2x01, “Knight of Crowns.” Remember that moment when they need to find the Rainbow Bridge so that they can be crowned? Eliot does the flower spell to lead the way? As the flowers lift into the air, he chants, “He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me…”

This is only a few days after Marqueliot. Quentin was mad at him at first, but all seems to be forgiven. Just that morning as they discussed next steps in their campaign against the Beast, as Eliot and Quentin sat talking in the sunlight, Quentin smiled at Eliot as if nothing had ever come between them, and Eliot looked at him so tenderly…

Tags: The Magicians (TV), Queliot. Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh. Implied/Referenced Child Abuse. Past child abuse. Referenced bullying. Depression. Brakebills (The Magicians). Alternate Universe-Canon Divergence.

Note: The work pasted below is under 1k. But there's going to be one more chapter. Also on AO3:

One: Quentin

Eliot Waugh clearly had a secret life.

Quentin Coldwater tried not to pry.

He knew people usually kept secrets for a reason, and Eliot, having grown up bullied for being gay in a backwater farming town, no doubt had more reasons than most. Honestly, Eliot did open up with him in some surprising ways that made Quentin feel included, and sometimes even wonder if the heavy crush that engulfed him, from the moment he saw the man draped on the Brakebills sign, might be returned.

But Quentin had secrets of his own. Ones he seriously needed to keep hidden.

He couldn’t let Brakebills continue to bully talented young magicians like his friend Julia, dangling their offers of magical pedagogy only to rescind them so unfairly that it scarred their minds and hearts, sending them down self-destructive paths.

He knew what that was like. In addition to the hopelessness he’d felt before learning magic was real, he’d seen what the loss of magic did to those who relied on it—like the entire magical land of Fillory, about which Eliot cared so much he’d laid down his life like an ancient sacrificial king. Though in High King Eliot’s case, this meant marriage to a woman, it was no less a sacrifice, no less painful.

So Quentin’s first act of magical sabotage had been to free Eliot from that imprisonment. Secretly, Quentin cut Eliot’s ties to Fillory, sending him home to Earth so abruptly that Eliot would believe the very gods of Fillory had relinquished their claims on him forever.

Eliot was hurt at first, believing he’d been rejected, which made Quentin’s heart ache. After his shitty, abusive family who’d never loved him, that was the last thing Eliot needed. So Quentin quickly manufactured evidence that a grateful Fillory sent Eliot home as his reward for helping them so well and caring so much.

Which was true in any case.

Gradually Quentin saw the light return to Eliot’s worried hazel eyes, the color fill his too-gaunt, chiseled cheeks. The fact that his severed state marriage meant he was free to return Quentin’s affections if he chose was certainly a nice bonus.

Quentin’s second act of magical sabotage had been to partner up with Julia to help hedge witches get a better education, sneaking all that he learned to Julia. Together, they took Julia’s students to prowl the night city, giving them the chance to hone their spells by helping to undercut tyranny and stop bullies wherever they found them.

Due to his penchant for defying authority—be it gods or Brakebills—Quentin knew some might call him a supervillain.

But heroes were those who used their powers for good, to stand up for those who could not help themselves.

He hoped that one day, if he ever found out, Eliot would be proud of him.

Two: Eliot

Quentin Coldwater clearly had a secret life.

Eliot Waugh didn’t want to ruin that for him.

From the first, he’d seen how much magic meant to Quentin—more than most magicians. For Eliot, it had been both a curse and a blessing, changing his life in terrible and wonderful ways. For Quentin, magic was just that: pure magic. He believed with the heart of a child desperate for something good.

And Eliot wanted that for him—just as much as he feared Quentin would crash and burn when he found out magic was not all it seemed.

For Quentin—whose heart was so big, whose brain betrayed him sometimes—Eliot wanted a life filled with hope and beauty. Not just because Eliot loved him. Because Quentin was good and true and deserved happiness, plain and simple.

Not that he was going to get any, chained to Brakebills and their self-serving mission of pouring every magician into the same old cupcake tins. Ignoring the way some people, such as Quentin, or even Eliot himself, were never going to fit, and never should.

Telling people they were defined by one talent and forcing them to betray their true selves was the fastest way to sabotage happiness. And Eliot was not about to watch it happen to Quentin. Or any of the other young magicians assigned to the Physical Kids Cottage and thus placed under Eliot’s—and Margo’s—particular protection.

No, he would do what he could to see that this cohort had their chance to be regal miscreants. As the Party King and Queen of Brakebills, BFFs Eliot and Margo wielded every opportunity to encourage them to magically misbehave in the very best “getting to know myself” fashion.

Eliot truly hoped Quentin would break free from his shell. That he hadn’t been permanently harmed by the continuing threat of having his memory wiped if he flunked out of school; by the dean’s taking away his meds with the statement that Q’s depression had only been the frustration of a life without magic (cruelly implying that any further depression would amount to ingratitude); or with their rude and grossly inaccurate categorization of Quentin’s amazing talent for healing broken things as a “minor” skill.

The latter had sent Q into a depressive spiral—which was when Eliot first learned they’d taken Q’s meds, a problem that he and Margo solved at once. Eliot dropped everything and devoted himself to Quentin for as long as Q needed to pull himself out of it. Because Q was strong and brave. And Eliot couldn’t live without him.

A visit to the haunted home of Quentin’s favorite writer suggested a second mission. Like Eliot in his original family, ghost children got a strikingly raw deal. Should they suffer for eternity for the wrongs adults had done to them?

Especially when all they needed to resolve their shit and move on—was a living magician enacting their revenge?

Eliot was made for this. Operating by night when ghosts were strongest, he called himself a supervillain.

The longest reoccurring modern day super without an ongoing.

Over 500 appearances but less than 10 center focused stories.

Nat has existed since 1994, why is it that I can finish her entire chronology in a week or less? Nat has an established origin, family, strong principals and reasons for being a hero, friendships and relationships; All waiting to be told to new and old audiences. It’s more of a world than even some popular characters get. So much to work with but none of it is ever largely expanded on. Natasha deserves a new story; one that highlights her as a black woman, an inventor, and an amazing form of queer representation. Not just now but for years to come.

I really hesitated to post this. I almost deleted it, but it took me so long to make the draft, I went ahead and finished updating it. I actually put the majority of this together during the summer when I was trying to keep going. I may have tried a little too hard, LOL

(Above: Pretty Little Lights (Art for tbraves24's fic) by EliotQueliot)

Along with the works listed in

The Magicians fanworks goals for 2025: mid-year check-in (accomplishments plus updated goals)

...gives us...TADA!

2025 Fanworks Totals

This brings us to the following totals, which do not include the drafts published in Previews, with one noted exception.

Artworks posted: Paintings: 40; Drawings: 39; Animatics: 1; Art chapters: 3

(Note: for counting purposes, Chapter 5 of We Could Build a Castle (Art) includes 7 drawings and 7 paintings as well as 1 animatic. I'm not separately counting the various stills from the animatic as separate illustrations, since I'm counting the individual paintings used to construct that. Plus, I'm only counting one piece of art from Previews: the sketch for Rainy Day Quentin, since posting something for each WIP was a goal for 2025.)

Fic chapters/individual fic: 47 chapters posted for 14 individual works (not counting Previews)

Poetry chapters: 5 all-new chapters of Mosaic Haiku

Percent of published WIPs updated in some way in 2025: 100% (1 of these updates is counted from Previews)

Bonus: Fanworks challenges participated in: 5

Fanworks Goals Accomplished in 2025:

Yes! At least one thing shared for each posted WIP in 2025!

Yes! At least one thing added for each fanworks challenge held by Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza, Peaches and Plums Big Bang, and Duck Prints Press

Yes! Mosaic Haiku (Art and Poetry): artwork briefly brought to 50% completion in Dec. 2025 (before I had to go and add another chapter! LOL) with a new total of 59 drawings + 52 paintings now included in the work on AO3!

Yes! Secret Queliot Novel: Accomplished the modified goal from the mid-year update, i.e.: At the very least, if I can get past the current block and add two more chapters in 2025, I’m counting this a win.

Yes! you want it darker? || dark king eliot: As per the changed goal suggested at the mid-year update, I'm definitely counting the amount added in 2025 as a win because it's more than the length I had planned to add for the year, even though I had thought that would occur in 3 separate chapters (plus, I shared 8 separate chapters of snippets in Previews).

Here's the June 30 mid-year review for quick reference.

It includes the updated goals.

Here’s the original goalpost:

Since we've fielded a few questions via various platforms about Queliot Week 2026 (June 15-21):

The original Queliot Week 2019 website is beautiful and well worth checking out, but enter at your own risk: when I load it now (link below), virus protection is giving me a "threat secured" script warning; not sure why, but it seems to be fine with virus protection, as mine is blocking the problem script without any issues, and the works are still linking to AO3 and Tumblr. I love the original Queliot Week 2019 Tumblr website.

Queliot Week 2020

The original Tumblr website is gone, but many of the entries can still be found through the tags #queliotweek2020 and #queliotweek (this 2nd tag also brings up posts for Queliot Week 2019).

I couldn't find a single, unified AO3 collection, but some creators made their own personal Queliot Week 2020 series, while a few others used a custom AO3 tag. To the best of my ability, here's a link to all those things on AO3.

And here you'll find Magicians Fanworks Extravaganza's ongoing news about Queliot Week 2026 and beyond.
