Queliot Week 2026: June 15-21

We're so excited to bring back Queliot Week, with the blessing of one of the original mods! (Thank you so much, @believesinponds! ❤️❤️❤️) We'll have seven days celebrating the love of Quentin Coldwater / Eliot Waugh of The Magicians (Lev Grossman, SyFy) with all the fanworks you can create! Queliot Week 2026 will take place from June 15-21. This will be an annual event, during the timeslot brought to us by Queliot Week 2019. Read on to learn about the themes and how this event works!

Here are the themes you've been waiting for!

Day 1: Monday, June 15 ❤️ History AUs ❤️ Queliot "for want of a nail" AU: one thing changes somewhere, but that changes everything ❤️ Alternate Genre/Universe

Day 2: Tuesday, June 16 ❤️ Mosaic era/flavor/AU ❤️ Brakebills era/flavor/AU

Day 3: Wednesday, June 17 ❤️ Book Queliot ❤️ There was only one bed ❤️ Epistolary fic (or any type of messaging in some format makes an appearance somewhere)

Day 6: Saturday, June 20 ❤️ Immortal/Mortal ❤️ Omegaverse ❤️ Magical creatures

Day 7: Sunday June 21 ❤️ Queliot Week 2019 prompts* ❤️ Queliot Week 2020 prompts* ❤️ Free Choice

*See below for prior Queliot Week prompts.

Basic Rules

❤️ Your fanwork must be about the ship Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh from The Magicians (Lev Grossman/SyFy).

❤️ Many themes are available; we also offer “Free Choice.” You may select any of that day's themes; use as many as you want, or only one. Please let us know which you've chosen.

❤️ Any type of fanwork you can imagine; any size or length.

❤️ Additions to existing WIPs welcome; you may also start a new WIP.

❤️ As many or as few pieces as you wish to enter are fine.

❤️ The challenge takes place on AO3 and Tumblr (if you are posting your work on another platform, please share a link to that here on Tumblr).

❤️ Relaxed posting: Try to post on the appropriate day, but if you find you need to post on a different day, that’s fine, too. We want this to be fun, and to encourage as many Queliot works as possible! Please let us know which prompt you used.

❤️ Queliot Week is a separate, recurring event. It’s not covered during our recurring Amnesty Weeks. However, each future Queliot Week will include an invitation to use any prompts from a past Queliot Week!

Here are the prompts from prior Queliot Weeks:

Queliot Week 2019 (June 17-23; alternates could be used on any day) Day 1: Fake Dating/Marriage Day 2: Hedge Witches Day 3: Neighbors/Roommates Day 4: Free Day! Day 5: Polyamory Day 6: Alternate Timeline Day 7: Soulmates Alternate 1: Non-magic College Alternate 2: Queliot Reunion Alternate 3: In Fillory

Queliot Week 2020 (Nov. 16-22; two prompts per day) Day 1: "Hugs aren’t the only thing required by law." / Favourite scene Day 2: "We're married." / Colours Day 3: "That wasn't brave." / Royalty Day 4: "It was real, this is real." / Magic Day 5: "Not everything can be mended." / The Monster Day 6: "So we're just giving up?" / Death Day 7: Free Choice Day

Here are some places to enjoy the works from 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.

Also: Here's a list of all our upcoming 2026 fanworks challenges for The Magicians, in case you'd like to get a head start!

And here are our prior events, starting with the most recent:

Don't Make Me Sing (Every Single One of Us Has to Sing)

Time Is an Illusion

Amnesty Week 2025

"Your body or mine?"

Eliot Waugh got kicked out of Brakebills right after coming back from South which means he wasn't there to greet one Quentin Coldwater. Brakebills Student Quentin Coldwater meets Hedge Witch Eliot Waugh and somehow that makes all the difference

Series Summary:

Eliot finds among Jane Chatwin’s things perhaps a way to bring back Quentin—but it comes at an enormous personal cost: during the ritual, Eliot is stripped of his Shade completely. Violently ripping the reigning Dark King from the throne, Eliot assumes the mantle of Dark High King—a truly malevolent force who will do anything to get Quentin back. Even if it means he becomes somebody the man he loves won’t recognize when Eliot rescues Quentin from the Underworld. By any means necessary.

“Besides, we agreed I get to die first.” “We agreed no such thing.” “I’m afraid I must insist,” Eliot says, teasing and deadly serious all at once. “I couldn’t bear it any other way.” Quentin looks at him, and he’s sure his face is positively nauseating to behold, dripping with adoration and love, but he can’t control it. Not now, not after everything. “You leave the heavier burden to me.” “You’re the stronger of the two of us,” Eliot says, picking up Quentin’s hand and kissing it once, very gently, on the palm. “You can bear it.” The Way a Fool Would Do by Rizandace @nellie-elizabeth Collection: Parts of One Whole - The Magicians Soulmate Collection The Magicians | S03E05: A Life in the Day (2018)

"Eliot is grateful to have packed very conservative, very family-friendly sleepwear. It hadn’t been for this scenario in mind (he’d thought more, like, what can he wear in the morning in front of Quentin and Quentin’s father and God, that would have made him seem. Presentable), but nevertheless, being covered up is certainly helping. Quentin smirks a little when Eliot first steps out of the bathroom, something about Eliot’s silky, maroon PJ’s apparently amusing to him. What? he asks, but Quentin just shakes his little head, coyly saying, nothing, nothing, like that makes any sense. Quentin, of course, wears a ratty t-shirt along with some equally tattered shorts, even though it is very much November.

He looks great, obviously. But again, that’s not the point and Eliot won’t be commenting on it further."

Where I should be

Quentin isn't the type of person who propositions people he just met. And yet, the day he finds out that magic is real, he does exactly that- and is somehow successful. If only Eliot would finally take him up to his room. 

----------

Quentin has no idea what is going on. One moment he is running after a page that fluttered out of his notebook, the next he is stumbling onto a wide lawn, sky blue and sun shining. The gate he came through disappeared. A perfectly normal day.

You’re not going insane.

He makes his way to the building on the other side of the lawn. Someone is lying on the balustrade in front of it- they must be able to explain what is going on.

When he gets closer, the person turns to him and watches him approach.

Oh no. He’s hot.

He stops a few feet in front of the stranger, greeting stuck in his throat.

The man sits up, looks at a card. “Quentin Coldwater?”

“Uh-huh.” He’s still trying to wrap his mind around suddenly stepping into a parallel world and this gorgeous man looking like he stepped out of one of his many preppy fantasies doesn’t help- especially not looking so skeptically and activating every last ‘let me prove myself’ cell in Quentin’s body. The man jumps from the sign, crosses the small distance between them and oh, he’s really tall and... “Fuck me.”
