Summary
He’s willing, he thinks, to live in the frenzied path of this life where they’re both struggling again, rearranging the parts of it so quickly that he can barely hold onto the images that whip past him. He wonders what he’ll remember of this time when he’s old. Maybe just the shifting expressions of Quentin’s face, solemn and concerned, openly adoring when he looks at Eliot, lit from within with wonder when he perfects a spell or reads to Teddy before bed. Solstice memories might not stick (God, he hopes—he hopes he gets to keep that as he ages—or if they ever go back home), but some of these things will remain clear. He can only hope.

Summary
“It takes a lot to take care of a dog in a city like this. There’s just not much place for them to run around,” Eliot says. He places his thumb right over the furrow in Quentin’s brow.
“We’ve got the backyard—and like, we’re walking distance from the park. And it’s good for—health. And exercise. And if we rescue a dog, we’re rescuing it from, like, questionable circumstances. I have a list—” Quentin does have a list of arguments prepared in his notes app on his phone—and he is not planning to bring up the fact that he came back from the dead, and he should be able to have a pet if he wants one. He goes to reach for his phone, but Eliot stops him, catching his hand and threading their fingers together.
“We’ll go to the adoption event, baby. If it makes you happy, we’ll do it.”

Summary
Before everything went to shit, if someone stuck a slice of Everything Pizza in his hands, Q’d happily claim he was getting every food group in one bite and be done with it. But a breakthrough was in there, somewhere. Eliot just had to find it. He had to. This was Quentin. They didn’t bring him back just to wallow in a tasteless hell for the rest of his life. And…shit…maybe, just fucking maybe, “being brave” could get back on the table.
-Or-
All of Quentin's senses go haywire when he's brought back to life. After months of getting everything down to a manageable level, Eliot decides to take big risk. He cooks his feelings on a professional level, planning a five-course meal in the hopes of doing something nice for the two of them, and to see if he and Quentin can have a second chance at another fifty years. Written for the Magicians Monthly Prompt Challenge, "Blindfold."

Summary
Eliot adapts. Because when all is said and done, he set these dominos in motion, back in Blackspire.
And all this, he thinks, may be what being brave means, in the real world.
------------
My version of the "fuck your canon" challenge we're all living post-S4. Canon divergent from 4x08 - the details of how they did it all aren't important. Eliot's back and Quentin survived, and now they learn to live in the aftermath.

Summary
It’s Elliot's impassioned plea before the Grecian pantheon of gods that is the straw that breaks the camel's back.
Margo had managed to get the questers an audience with the pantheon, through methods which she had refused to disclose. Anytime someone, even Eliot, would ask how on earth she had done it, her only answer was a raised eyebrow and a quip that someone had needed to grow a pussy around there and do something to get their baby Q back.
Standing before the pantheon, everyone was more than a little worried about how this would all turn out - given their track record with gods and all - but it was for Quentin. They all owed it to him to at the very least try. And so they swallowed their fear, pushed it to the back of their mind, or stuffed it down and turned it into fire because if there was one thing the questers were entirely sure of - this was not going to be easy. Nothing had ever been easy for them and there was no reason to expect, at all, that this long shot of an opportunity would be any different.

Summary
“You’re really setting the mood,” Quentin deadpans. “You know, Eliot never listens when I tell him the one thing missing from our sex life is cold, objective data.”
“You know me.” Julia bats her eyelashes and lowers her voice. “I can’t resist hard numbers.”
(Or: Quentin and Julia make a baby. Eliot and Margo have a nice night. A story about intimacy, more than anything else.)

Summary
He was gutted when Brian didn’t show up that night. A week ago now. He’d gone to bed after drinking half of the wine and eating a cold crab cake. And at midnight—Brian had shown up, and Nigel had been—maybe delighted is too strong a word. He was pleased. Maybe there was an explanation—an accident or a family emergency. When he stepped up to Brian, thinking only of how much he wanted to kiss him again, he stopped cold. There was something wrong in his eyes. Distant, chilling. His breath had caught in his throat, and Brian had gripped his arm—so tight he’d seen purple-yellow bruises there the next day. ‘Eliot, you tried to kill me. But you’ll be—useful. I think everything’s more fun when you do it with a friend. You were friends with Quentin. Best friends. Now you can be mine.’

“Never play cards with Q,” Julia says, emphatically, a dark look in her eye and well. Eliot knows himself well enough to know how he usually reacts to being told not to do things.
