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!
Big Monster Energy (110226 words) by LaSourisRousse, EliotQueliot
Summary:
What could possibly inspire a well-dressed man like Eliot to wear a graphic tee?
Saving Quentin, of course.
Thank you so much, @lasouris-r!! I love your art so much! I was so thrilled to get this piece to write for. Working with you on this has been one of the joys of my life 💙💙💙
Happy two months to this, the longest completed fic I've ever posted! Also my first finished fantasy novel. Thank you so much again to my collaborator @lasouris-r for the inspiration (this art gave me so much Energy and so many ideas! And your encouragement and enjoyment of the fic and concepts meant so much) and to @peachesandplumsbigbang for the experience of a lifetime (and for being such appreciative and supportive mods), which changed my outlook on my own abilities (honestly--it changed everything--now I know "how it feels" to actually finish a novel-sized fantasy work and I believe I can do it again--which I never had before) and brought me something I'd been longing to do for three years (ever since I first discovered fandom).

Sorry, I’ve had enough of running away, Q. Now I’ve got something I want to protect. It’s you.
self-indulgent Howl’s Moving Castle queliot AU, because in the immortal words of Q himself: why the fuck not. in all seriousness tho, consider: Q having so much self-doubt that he unknowingly casts a spell on himself that makes him look like an old man! consider: Q going thru doors of key moments in El’s life, finding him as a boy, and telling him to find him in the future!!
Fairy king Eliot Waugh sets out on a magical adventure beyond Fillory to find the 7 keys that will help him restore magic in the kingdom after it mysteriously disappears. He meets Quentin Coldwater, the new captain of the royal ship The Muntjac who is entrusted with helping him find the keys. Will they find more than just the keys to magic on their journey?

Quentin was curled up on the couch in the Physical Kids cottage, a book propped up on his knees, innocently reading his story. That changed in such a whirlwind that it took his brain a solid minute to understand that he had been dragged to his feet and was being forced up the stairs... with no idea what happened to his book.
He turned, trying to go back for it, but Eliot's hold on his wrist was unrelenting, so he gave up the fight. No one would bother to steal it.
Eliot was talking, and it seemed that he had been the entire time but Quentin did not hear any of it while he had been desperately trying to orient himself in the real world rather than the world in his minds eye.
When they ended up in Quentin’s own room, he was admittedly baffled, "What are we doing?"
Eliot's hands popped up to his hips in impatience at the same time he jut out one of those hips, "You are getting dressed."
"I am dressed," Quentin frowned.
The laugh was a touch condescending, but the reason was clear, "Black jeans and a black hoodie is not dressed! We need color where we're going."
"Uh, like what? Brown?"
The sound Eliot made was pained and almost inhuman as he pinched his brow, "Sometimes I wonder how a real human can exist and not know what color is." He flung open the wardrobe and slammed it shut just as fast, "In very brief moments, I hate you as much as I love you."
Quentin sighed, rolling his eyes at his apparent fashion crimes, "There is nothing wrong with my clothes."
"Right, if they are on fire," Eliot grabbed his hand again, "I'll buy you decent clothes when we portal there," An evil smile showed his sudden shift in mood, "A crop top! With rainbow suspenders, definitely."
"Wait, what?" Quentin squeaked.
Eliot rolled his eyes this time, "We're going to pride, silly! Margo is already there."
Thanks to the recent posts, decided to put everything in one place!
This is a passion project by @magicians4time and yours truly.
Their fic is amazing, and I do my very best with the art!
Eliot is Howl
Quentin is Sophie
And a lot more really, really cool character and plot choices/correspondences, just such a great fit in Librarity's fic!!

Posting Guidelines
We're open for entries on Tumblr and AO3 from 12:01 AM Eastern on June 15, 2026, through 11:59 PM Eastern on June 21, 2026. (If you run out of time, please look forward to our next Queliot Week: June 14-20, 2027, when we'll welcome more works for all prior themes!)
To participate, follow the instructions below so that we can find your work, reblog it, and add it to the recap list that will appear within a week after the event closes.
In addition to everything mentioned in the Basic Rules above:
Please post your works to Tumblr and/or AO3 following the specific guidelines below. If you make something on another platform (such as a vid on YouTube, a pinboard on Pinterest, art or cosplay on Instagram, music on Bandcamp), please share a post with a link to that content on Tumblr and/or AO3. If you need help with this, please contact the mod team. We have an email address listed at the AO3 subcollection; you can also DM us here or use the Ask feature.
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.
Please make sure to fill in both sections, part two is where you give us the work details and is very important!
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. While you are typing, a box with our icon should pop up. Click on that suggestion to link to our page. If you don't see the box, it won't link. Make sure you're typing in Rich Text rather than HTML unless you know the code to mention someone.
When posting on AO3
Please add your work to our Queliot Week 2026 AO3 Subcollection.
In the Notes at the start of your work, and at the head of any relevant chapter you are posting for this event, please let your readers know this is part of Queliot Week 2026, which Day's prompts you are using, and which themes you specifically chose.
Additionally (please do both these things), for multi-chaptered works, please indicate at the start of the work which chapters are taking part in the challenge so that readers can find them.
To post a new work, you can visit our AO3 collection and click "Post to Collection."
To add your existing WIP (also works for a new work), click "Edit," then under "Associations," "Post to Collections/Challenges," type "MFEQueliotWeek2026" and hit enter, then click "Post."
Please note: If you are adding your work via the Edit panel rather than posting to the collection from the actual collection page, when you type in the challenge name, AO3 is not going to offer it as an automatic selection. Nevertheless, as long as you type in MFEQueliotWeek2026 and hit enter, AO3 will add your work to our collection.
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!

@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!
We Could Build a Castle (Art) - Chapter 5 - EliotQueliot, Librarity - The Magicians (TV) [Archive of Our Own]
Yes! @magicians4time and I are back with the next installment of their wonderful, amazing fic and my art! Please go read the chapter--this project means so much to us--and we are so happy it's safe!!
We Could Build a Castle (10940 words) by Librarity, EliotQueliot
Chapters: 4/7
Fandom: The Magicians (TV), The Magicians - Lev Grossman, Howl's Moving Castle - All Media Types
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Margo Hanson & Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater & Julia Wicker
Characters: Eliot Waugh, Quentin Coldwater, Margo Hanson, Theodore "Ted" Rupert Coldwater-Waugh, Julia Wicker, Jane Chatwin
Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Howl's Moving Castle Fusion, Magic, Slow Burn, Eliot Waugh still runs from his feelings, Idiots in Love, Eliot Waugh the Spectacular, Alternate Universe - Everyone Lives/Nobody Dies, Oblivious Quentin Coldwater, Oblivious Eliot Waugh, Magical Boys, Teddy knows best, Didn't Know They Were Dating, So Married, Quentin Coldwater has no idea about anything, Endgame Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Howl!Eliot, Sophie!Quentin, Happy Ending, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Because why wouldn't we
Summary:
He felt safe, farther away from the pandemonium. Most people were not far back from the show, most people liked that sort of thing.
One man caught his eye, settled casually atop a dividing wall like an elegant cat decided to try out human form but couldn't resist sunbathing. Those lazy eyes caught him in their study, making his feet stop moving.
A colorful diamond pattern coat was folded neatly by the man's head as he had possibly been using it as a pillow. A pillow for the most well-behaved and equally well-styled hair Quentin had ever seen.
Howl's Moving Castle/The Magicians AU
This is the 2nd piece of large art for Ch. 3 of @magicians4time's gorgeous fic! This chapter is so dreamy, sheer poetry! Please stop by & share the love--Queliot flying! OMG. Love working with @magicians4time and making the art so much!

We're open for entries on Tumblr and AO3 from 12:01 AM Eastern on June 15, 2026, through 11:59 PM Eastern on June 21, 2026. (If you run out of time, please look forward to our next Queliot Week: June 14-20, 2027, when we'll welcome more works for all prior themes!)
To participate, follow the instructions below so that we can find your work, reblog it, and add it to the recap list that will appear within a week after the event closes.
In addition to everything mentioned in the Basic Rules above:
Please post your works to Tumblr and/or AO3 following the specific guidelines below. If you make something on another platform (such as a vid on YouTube, a pinboard on Pinterest, art or cosplay on Instagram, music on Bandcamp), please share a post with a link to that content on Tumblr and/or AO3. If you need help with this, please contact the mod team. We have an email address listed at the AO3 subcollection; you can also DM us here or use the Ask feature.
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.
Please make sure to fill in both sections, part two is where you give us the work details and is very important!
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. While you are typing, a box with our icon should pop up. Click on that suggestion to link to our page. If you don't see the box, it won't link. Make sure you're typing in Rich Text rather than HTML unless you know the code to mention someone.
When posting on AO3
Please add your work to our Queliot Week 2026 AO3 Subcollection.
In the Notes at the start of your work, and at the head of any relevant chapter you are posting for this event, please let your readers know this is part of Queliot Week 2026, which Day's prompts you are using, and which themes you specifically chose.
Additionally (please do both these things), for multi-chaptered works, please indicate at the start of the work which chapters are taking part in the challenge so that readers can find them.
To post a new work, you can visit our AO3 collection and click "Post to Collection."
To add your existing WIP (also works for a new work), click "Edit," then under "Associations," "Post to Collections/Challenges," type "MFEQueliotWeek2026" and hit enter, then click "Post."
Please note: If you are adding your work via the Edit panel rather than posting to the collection from the actual collection page, when you type in the challenge name, AO3 is not going to offer it as an automatic selection. Nevertheless, as long as you type in MFEQueliotWeek2026 and hit enter, AO3 will add your work to our collection.
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!

On the right, look past Navigation (whose links lead to guidelines and masterposts for each event) and scroll down to see Projects.
