My favs kinda change over time, but here's a few:

These are all RATED E FOR EXPLICIT. Recommended for adults.

Trial and Error by Cleor_nor

-ok this one is actually rated m but the rest are e lol

-unfinished, 26k words

-pre canon, pretend (redacted) doesn't exist, crack treated seriously is my weakness I love it so much

-this one has me kicking my feet giggling every chapter.

-literally the first chapter is Olly's perspective and called Bending and Snapping and he's like... Damn why is Qifrey dressed Like That, bumping into me Like That, staring at me Like That.. if he keeps this up he's gonna make it real difficult to keep hiding my crush... And then in the next chapter Qifrey is like Haha! His face is all red, it's working. Hmm maybe I should kick it up a notch, leave books all over the floor and "accidentally" trip into his lap..

-they are so silly and cute ahhhhh

When Blue Eyes Cry by Shmo

-unfinished, 27k words

-canon through silvers eve, Coco knows so Qifrey tells the fam

-they work together to find ways to cohabitate with the tree. The girls have a blast inventing things to annoy Qifrey

-there are some laugh out loud funny shenanigans but then it also is so heartwarming and sincere

-this is the closest to slow burn I think I've read. But the moment they "inadvertently make a move" so to speak, is so delicious I replay it in my head all the time. I won't spoil, it's definitely worth reading.

Now and For Always by Humblebeeother

Anything to Be With You by Imalittlestitious

-finished, 23k words

***

I don't want an encore (no more) by lesqueers

-one shot, 15k words

-post canon, tree was resolved off screen

-god I love the angst of a misunderstanding. They want each other so bad but somehow convince themselves the other person couldn't possibly feel the same.

-um, waiter? Who put crying in my porn??

The Beautiful Truth of Us by stilloperational

-finished, 33k words

-was written in 2023, so no tree

-post canon, the girls are 16ish

-witch gossip rag writes a feature about some "eligible bachelor"s we know and they try to deal with that. And the girls being teens. And then Iguin shows up and makes things So Much Worse

But I just think it's beautiful that we get to see how Qifrey interacts with Coco when she's behaving exactly like Olruggio

Is this something Qifrey learned from growing up with Olruggio? When Olly gets stressed, falls asleep at his desk, does Qifrey bonk him on the head with a book? Make him help out in the kitchen as a distraction?

What about when things get really heavy?

When Olruggio is most vulnerable, does Qifrey wrap his arms around him and make sure he knows how loved and appreciated and capable he is?

Or does he only long to?
