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 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!

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)

Amnesty Week 2025

Know That Means I'll Have To Leave

The Magicians, Quentin Coldwater/Eliot Waugh, Mature, 30k (read on ao3) "I Will Always Love You" Square - @lgbtqbingo "I Should Have Been Better" - @badthingshappenbingo

Margo's inscrutable from where she waits for him outside of the Time Barrens. Her sharp eyes look him over with a bitter twist of her lips. "So she said no." "She doesn't want to undo his sacrifice," Eliot says, devoid of any emotion but his grief. "Quentin's life isn't worth risking the wins this time." "Bitch got what she wanted," Margo replies with a sneer. It fades quickly, though, as they put more distance between them and Jane's territory. "She's also not wrong, Eliot." Eliot knows that. He's grieving, but he's not delusional. Starting another timeline spits in the face of everything they've had to suffer through, everything they've sacrificed, everything Quentin gave of himself; to save his friends and stop Martin Chatwin, save Fillory twice, then turn around and save magic, too. Those are the things that Eliot doesn't want to take away from Quentin.  It's the Monster that Eliot wants to erase. It's Everett's thirst for infinite power. And, most importantly, it's the part where Quentin killed himself to make sure Eliot would stay alive while Everett and the Monster lost.  Quentin should be here, with them, saving Fillory one more time and Josh and Fen with it.  Quentin should be with him, like Eliot had told himself to be brave enough to win back.  If Jane's not going to save Quentin this time, then Eliot's going to do it himself.

#the first gif hurts me every time cause like  #he’s slowly realizing that this is about to be one of the worst moments of his life  #even though the monster told quentin that eliot is dead  #quentin understands this is the actual final time he loses the man in front of him  #and it’s likely worse to him that this fucking monster is wearing the man he loves  #so i know why he’s so resolved to make sure it’s over  #but in his mind he must know that he loses eliot twice  #once when the monster says he’s dead  #and now when he loses the rest of him - the little bit of eliot he could still hold onto  #does quentin think to himself  #‘i will never see that smile again’ ?  #in this instant does he ask himself ‘is this the last time i look at the man i love?’  #at his eyes and nose and mouth and hair and hands  #and this set of quentin expressions here  #having to put on a brave face to not give away the charade  #while he’s broken inside?  #(but then - but then to have that fucking relief like nothing he could ever imagine)  #(of ‘i’m *alive* in here’)  #what a range of emotions  #please give him eliot back  #please don’t let him suffer anymore (tags via @thehighkings)

Just putting it out there: Season 2 is essentially a duet of Louis and Lestat singing Les Miserables’ “On My Own”. You’re welcome. 😊😭🪦

My redesign hot take is that if you’re aiming to “desexualize” a female character, don’t make her boobs smaller. You’re implying a lot here.

[emeraldburn]

Instead of shrinking her boobs, try:

Changing her posture to something normal people do (bonus points for slouching/rounded shoulders, a common posture for tall and/or big chested women)

Making sure her outfit is appropriate for the situation (showing skin is not inherently sexualizing, lingerie armor or half-naked-in-the-snow probably is)

Making her torso/waist thicker, maybe even enough that all her organs would reasonably fit!

There are probably lots more options too! I’m not an artist! Just a person with a big chest and back pain!

[Image ID: Tumblr tags from sealedverses reading: #also try adding actual weight and squish to her boobs #my problem with a lot of art of big tittied women is often that it looks like theres air-filled balloons beneath the skin #as opposed to fat (or even silicone. even boobs that have been surgically enlarged have weight!) #giving them actual heft makes them seem more real #and subsequently makes the character seem like a real person (and not just a sexual charicature) /End ID]

Explain your reasoning plzzz

[twyllodrus]

Jason Ralph about Quentin’s development: 

The struggles never go away, but the way that he responds to stimulus has shifted. Especially, after a lot of the experiences last year, last season [x, x]. 

[wolfnprey]

Suddenly There's Sunlight All Around Me

Penny/Quentin/Eliot, The Magicians, Mature, 2.4k (read on ao3)

When Penny hears that Quentin is going to die, he doesn't laugh or giggle like the aforementioned nerd did. He gets two thoughts that nearly knock him on his ass at his Dead Pod People desk.

The first, fate will let Quentin die like the hero he's always wanted to be.

The second, what the fuck, fuck this shit.

Since when does he wander around contentedly following the rules without asking questions? He sold his soul to be down in the Underworld Library in exchange for his friends getting to live and save the goddamn universe. Penny literally saw the way that the books were going to end because of Ember and he told Eliot to change that shit.

Quentin Coldwater is a whiny little bitch who lets his insecurities and depression cloud his judgment. But Penny gives a fuck about him doing something stupid as hell because he's possibly suicidal and doesn't get that he's the goddamn reason their 'found family' ever works.

And fuck the library, fuck Hades, fuck that chick who looks like Alice, and fuck Quentin for sucking at keeping his shit together when he's supposed to be the one steering the ship.

[propinquitous]

absolutely obsessed with this. quentin's put upon expression. the fact that he is the perfect height for being held to eliot's chest. the weird one armed hug because he's both miserable for outside reasons and possibly a little jealous? how he has to go up on his grumpy lil tippy toes for a kiss. eliot's absolute ease with embracing his friend/long term crush both romantically and like he is soothing a toddler for nap time. exquisite 10/10

[violetsarepurple-fuckyou]

I think the funniest thing about this hug is that it pretty much entirely looks like Quentin is experiencing all of the horrors tm and allowing Eliot to hug him vaguely because his body and his mind are on two parallel planes of existence right now. Like he looks utterly uncomforted and barely even aware of the hug at all. EXCEPT! For his little hand on Eliot's back. Like the angle of the shot makes it so that Eliot could so easily be hugging Q while Q stands there disassociating with both arms down by his side, but INSTEAD Q's hand is juuuust poking into the shot, and it changes the tone of the hug from "You are hugging me and I am just kinda here" to "I kinda only have the emotional capacity to just kinda be here right now, but thanks for the hug. Is it ok for me to wander through the labyrinth of chaos my mind has devised in my head but like, in your arms for a bit? We still good to hang out while I disassociate into the void?"

And Eliot's smug, loving little smirk on top of Q's head like "Heh, he still wants to hang out with me while disassociating into the void <3"

Also, you are so right describing Eliot's vibe as soothing a toddler for nap time.
