Lady's Dork

[ladysdork]

My AO3 page, should anyone want to read. Currently home to Orufrey/Olfrey/Olufrey/whatever their ship name is. Also a bunch of stuff with the girls and their teacher-dads!

Feel free to ask me anything too, I love chatting about theories and headcannons and even accepting some prompts for short scenes!

Also, no ai ever. Everything is just me and my brain and laptop. (And any lovely credits I’ll give if others help me brainstorm/beta/drew inspiring art/etc)

Midnight Delights Chapter 5 is up! With support from the amazing @blazingquill (please go read their stuff its all brilliant!)

-

“As it happens, your hammock.” He watched the words register, Olruggio’s face flushing a vivid red and his lips pressing together. Qifrey rushed to explain. “I couldn’t sleep, but I hadn’t wanted to stop cuddling with you, so I used your little portable fire to read for a while. Only then I was invested and kept reading the past few weeks. You didn’t notice they were missing?” 

“Well, I haven’t exactly needed them lately,” Olly muttered, refusing to meet Qifrey’s gaze. “I know they’re a bit silly but-”

“No, I enjoyed reading them,” Qifrey interrupted, heading off wherever that thought had been leading. “They were quite interesting, but I, well, I want to know what you liked about them.”

Olruggio was still staring at their hands, the tops of his ears now also a bright red. Qifrey worried his lip. His intent really hadn’t been to overstep, to invade something Olly felt embarrassed about. He had wanted to understand, to know what Olruggio might like or want to try. 

“I took notes, if that would help,” Qifrey offered.

thoughts on olly and qifrey in terms of sexuality?

gay

[joshuallyman]

do qifrey and olruggio find each other in every lifetime?

[arcaneoddity]

I'll never be over Qifrey softly going "Oh, Olly" whenever Olruggio does anything that reaches right into his core and threatens to grow roots (literally, derogatory). It's such a small exclamation but it feels as profound as it does bc Qifrey's a yearner, that's his husband best friend who's doing something completely mundane but it is kind and it is warm, and Qifrey is rattling the bars of his silverwood cage but he can't do shit about it other than pack it up and deliver it wrapped in half a handful of syllables...

[piracytheorist]

Wanting to scream again about how Qifrey would have let the tree kill him a thousand times if it weren't for Olruggio. Like yeah there is a part of him that wants to live but I'm sure he is more scared of causing Olruggio to grieve him than he is of dying. Like "Yeah maybe I can die now. But no my best friend will be sad if I die. I gotta keep going."

no ai usage over here. you’re gonna get my shitty authentic writing whether you like it or not

[lilyblisslys]

if I ever tell you “lmk what you think if you read/play/watch it!” I am firmly inviting you to send me a play by play minute by minute cataloguing of your thoughts about The Thing

[ladysdork]

hi!!! its red (redamancyintune) and your olly headcanon about him running hot and letting qifrey put his cold hands/feet on him to warm up reminded me about something my partner said recently about touching a cold metal tin at work and then missing me and my "ice cold hands". thought that was very orufrey and wanted to share. anyway. hi!

Hi hi!! :D its so great to hear from you!

I love that, and it also feels very Orufrey to me. I think Olly does have more thoughts about Qifrey being like snow in that regard.

At least once he points at an icicle, "It's like your hands" and Qifrey glares and then vindictively sticks his icicle hands all over Olly when they get inside after their walk with the girls.

hi hi! coming here from finally, congratulations fic since you said you like to chat!!

do you think Beldaruit has any other celebration plans/gifts/events/etc. planned for Qifrey and Ollrugio? I feel like he might either get so extra with it or only a little extra as a practice of constraint. I also wonder if he would consult Alaira hehe

Hello hello! I'm so glad you liked that one - I was nervous about my first foray into the humorous side of things but it was also so much fun! Definitely more to come as breaks from the usual feelingsy stuff I write.

I think Beldaruit will chill out for a bit after the Glitter Incident. He knows Qifrey well and can tell how much that whole interaction was a little much for him. But he will cherish the vision of his grown kid, who had been so distant, acting like a teenager again.

I do have a fic (still to be started but the idea is done) involving Beldaruit interacting with the girls once Orufrey is together and he's at, like, medium level there. Alaira also will likely make a guest appearance in that one.

[ladysdork]

I’d love to hear more about the Olly studying until late in Qifreys room shenanigans :D

Ooo well I'm debating exactly what fics might involve flashbacks to this/a scene. But some current headcanons/ideas at least:

Olly is someone who uses a billion notes so he ends up stacks of his own work that just lives in Qifrey's room. Qifrey is neater so he can get a little fussy about the work being organized/kept in piles at least.

They take breaks to go cook together (usually) or if Olly is really locked in then Qifrey will go cook and bring him a snack.

Once they started growing they spent a week learning how to magically expand Qifrey's mattress. Beldaruit ended up just getting Qifrey a bigger bed after they screwed it up.

They both spend a lot of time watching the other draw. A lot of yearning.

Qifrey almost always gets sleepy first and falls asleep on his bed. Olly falls asleep on the floor, then Qifrey wakes up and carries him back to bed with him (once he's older/strong enough).

I love how Olruggios way of getting Qifrey to stop thinking too hard is to BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM

clearly its his love language

Olly coping with cuteness aggression

[ladysdork]

pretty please share some olruggio headcanons or thoughts? love your fics and your characterisation of everyone

Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them 💕💕💕

1. Olruggio is one of those people who can handle injuries alright but not watching someone put a contact in. Similarly, will throw up if someone else throws up.

2. He is really good at socializing but doesn’t love it. That’s part of why he tends to get drunk when networking.

3. A billion scraps of paper, everywhere. Notes to himself about ideas, etc. he tries to remember to burn them once he’s dealt with the contents but sometimes he’ll find a stack he forgot to burn.

4. Always runs a little warm and says its because he’s from the North or because he works with fire (that answer is for the girls usually). Qifrey likes this as he usually runs cold and Olly will tolerate his cold feet/hands. Brushbuddy also likes this in the winter.

5. As a teenager, he had a tendency to work in Qifrey’s room until he fell asleep. For a while Qifrey would just wake him up to get him in bed, but the first time Olly woke up to Qifrey carrying him was an… interesting new thing for him to learn about his best friend. He did not sleep very well next to Qifrey that night.

I have so many headcanons for Olly and Qifrey. Thank you for giving me a chance to talk about them!!
