Summary
“I wrote Q a letter, then me and Alice dropped it down a well at the top of the Mountain of Ghosts, yada yada yada,” Eliot says. “But I didn’t think it would *actually* reach him.”
Julia’s eyes go wide. “What did it say?”
He opens his mouth to tell her, but Quentin beats him to the punch.
“To Quentin Coldwater, before he went to the Seam: Come back, asshole.”
“Um. Yeah. That.”
—————————
In which Quentin returns to the land of the living for the very simple reason that Eliot asked him to.

Summary
Once a portal is found, all of our gang and Kady’s hedges hide out from the virus plaguing Earth in New Fillory. The World Seed is still forming itself to the wishes of its new inhabitants, which brings nothing but headaches for High King Margo and the new administration. But when the Eliot who never went to the Mosaic accidentally wishes to life the Old Quentin who just finished the Mosaic quest, it also brings existential crises for both of them-- and for their friends who had complicated relationships with their own Quentin. Thank the gods Mama is there to help her boys sort things out.
(Trigger warning for brief mentions of the very start of the pandemic. I used it as an excuse to get everyone into New Fillory and keep them there. So it’s mentioned as they bug out in January of 2020, and will probably show up later as a reason they can’t go back to Earth, but no one gets sick and it’s virtually forgotten as they’re caught up in New Fillory drama.)
I’m writing an original work now, which is my primary focus, and I’m writing on Lovely in my spare time for fun and escapism. I can’t promise a consistent posting schedule, but subscribe for notifications.

Summary
When the triad monarchs of Narnia invite their New Fillorian counterparts for a diplomatic visit, Eliot's main goal has less to do with diplomacy and more to do with Cair Paravel's court magician - Quentin Coldwater, returned from the dead and in Narnia, of all places.
But when faced with a Quentin who is anything but happy to be reunited, Eliot has to figure out how to fix what's broken, all the more difficult when he doesn't even know why Quentin's so angry with all of them.
A companion fic to return to the sunlit lands.

Summary
“Life is probabilistic,” Julia says. “Each life is rooted in its surrounding subjectivities. We don’t need to bring all of him back. We couldn’t, because there is no all of him anymore. But we can bring a piece of him — and another — and another — and if we get enough pieces, then our own consciousness will unite them. We can — fill in the gaps, like your mind does when you’re looking at a constellation.”
“Or a mosaic,” Eliot says quietly. Thinking about what he had learned there: that the beauty of all life existed in the spaces between.
Alice looks at him. “Yeah. Like that.”
(Or: A story about bringing Quentin(s) back to life.)

Summary
A million beautiful gold lights burst from the air, shooting through everything in the room. Quentin ran, but he wasn't fast enough. Time slowed down when she screamed, and he turned to look at her, his eyes wide in shock as those little lights shot through him. Black wisp exploded from inside his body high in the air, his outstretched arm the only thing she could see until the smoke and gold hid that away from her too.
And she fell apart. -

Summary
Honestly, his life was a wreck. Crash and boom and burn, baby. Skid marks on the pavement outside a school in Whitefield.
Eliot — should have known better. Should have known what he could and couldn’t handle. Should have seen the signs that he was being too open with his fucking feelings, spilling his broken shit everywhere, letting it boil over because he was too goddamn scared of being burned to hold the lid down himself. Well, guess what. It boiled over. The pot’s dry. His shit spilled and now they’re all sitting in the mess he’s made.
And best of all? It’s the funniest fucking thing that’s ever happened to him.
But worst of all? No one else gets the goddamn joke.
Well. No one except maybe —

Summary
Quentin and Eliot are ready to retire from saving the world and magical crises, but they have one last mess to fix - saving another Quentin from beyond the grave.
But they won't be doing it alone, not when another Eliot has been working with Alice Quinn toward the same end. Not when both their timelines' magic is a mess, and the two Fillorys aren't much better.
One last mess is more complicated than they expected.

Summary
Nothing could have prepared Eliot for the grief he would feel when he woke up. Waking up in a world such as this, a world without Quentin Coldwater, was something that no one could have readied Eliot for. At first, he couldn’t possibly believe it. Quentin, he couldn’t be dead… No, he was Quentin. He was supposed to live. Eliot had felt - numb and petrified and heartbroken.
As soon as he was discharged from the infirmary, he felt immediately drawn to the liquor cabinet. But Margo kept him together, smacking him upside the head and snapping that ‘Quentin wouldn’t want that’. But how the fuck could she know? Because Quentin was dead. He was dead and gone, and for some reason no one was trying to do anything about it.
or; Eliot wakes up, finds out that Quentin is dead, grieves a bit, before diving headfirst into finding a way to bring him back.

Summary
Eliot's early Christmas gift has been a (beautiful, heartbreaking) mess of a human landing on the woolly rug at the foot of his bed. But to bring Quentin fully, truly back, he must stick to his word and be braver, just as Q taught him.

Summary
They say grief comes in stages: a riptide of denial, a hurricane of anger. Bargaining, depression, acceptance. They can come in any order, but Eliot hadn’t felt a single one. All he could feel was the humming, and the longing. And something deep in every chamber of his heart that told him Quentin wasn’t gone.
Or, the one where Eliot is sorta Icarus and Quentin is sorta the sun.

Summary
[Post episode S05E12: The Balls]
What had happened next, had been weird. Like... really weird, even for their standards. Almost comically weird. For starters, Santa Claus had rescued them. Yes, the Santa Claus. Complete with reindeer-drawn sleigh. Before vanishing in the night, he had also left them an early Christmas morning, with a huge Christmas tree, candy canes and a present each. Except for Eliot. Then shit had happened, and really, he didn't care that much.
But he should know by now that every quest ends with a reward, even for him, even when it seems impossible.Series

Summary
post 4x13 canon divergent (literally throw the whole fifth season in the trash)
would you trust in a light that you cannot see?
It is said, when you move on, that you go to where you are needed most but sometimes where you are needed most is exactly where you left in the first place.
While the Dark King has reduced the kingdom of Fillory to ashes, Eliot recovers from his wounds at the Mosaic Cottage, Margo is on the war path for her throne, Julia searches for her true purpose, Alice tries to fix everything she broke with a little help, Kady stands on the frontlines, and Quentin tries his very best to make it back home, but it proves to be more challenging than any warning could've predicted. Magic is unpredictable, causing disruptions and devastations across the universe and there is only one person who may be able to make it right.
Spoiler: this story will have a happy ending.

Summary
Alice has a bad idea that springs from good intentions. A way to share the load of working through the grief of the loss of a partner, with the only other person who knows exactly how she feels. Q loved both of them, her AND Eliot. And they both loved him.
