The moment I saw that 'Q' etched into my skin, I knew my carefully constructed world was crumbling. Magic chooses our soulmates, but it didn't consult me first. Quentin Coldwater - innocent, wide-eyed, and utterly captivating - holds the key to my heart whether I want him to or not. Denying fate has never felt so impossible... or so tempting. In the hallowed halls of Brakebills, where magic courses through our veins, destiny has marked us with matching tattoos that neither of us can ignore forever.

Two years of grief, possession, and fighting have left Eliot Waugh broken. At Margo's wedding, surrounded by celebration and new beginnings, he drowns his sorrows alone in his apartment. When he wakes, Quentin Coldwater—dead, gone, sacrificed—sits before him, brought back by a magical Christmas miracle. The man he loved and lost is alive again, and Eliot must navigate anger, joy, and overwhelming desire in their long-awaited reunion.

Experience the quiet intimacy and playful banter between Quentin Coldwater and Eliot Waugh as they navigate life at Brakebills and beyond. Through small gestures and meaningful moments, their bond deepens in ways that words alone can't express.

The air crackles with unspoken desire between us. Eliot's seductive games blur the line between teasing and something real, while I'm torn between fear and craving. Every lingering touch, every whispered innuendo, pulls me deeper into his web. Is this just another conquest for him, or have we both stumbled into something neither can control? The tension simmers just below the surface, waiting to ignite into something dangerous and delicious.
