you want it darker? || dark king eliot, Chapter 6: Quentin

Created for the @magiciansfanworksextravaganza challenge Welcome Home!, WEEK 3: Feb. 10-16, Seasonal/holiday—focusing on Queliot romance for Valentine’s Day. (Posted in Week 7). Also for Week 7: Welcome back to WIPs!

Illustration for Chapter 6 by @juliawickers

I originally hoped to post this on Valentine’s Day, for the Queliot of it all! This fic may be tear-soaked, but Quentin and Eliot still find a way to get together (with significant help from Penny). 🍑❤️ (So Happy Valentine’s Day, no matter when you read this!) (Once more earning that Explicit rating.)

So many thanks to my collaborator @juliawickers❤️who created this haunting edit for Ch. 6 and provided many important updates to both the pinboard: queliot au: you want it darker? || dark king eliot pin board and the playlist: you want it darker? || a dark king eliot waugh fanmix by victoria & albert (And so much inspiration and support, always ❤️)

Chapter 6: Quentin

Summary:

Quentin and Ted roam the Underworld, seeking a way to communicate with Eliot. Penny helps give Quentin and Eliot a moment of beauty amid the angst of their current existence.

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.

PEACHES AND PLUMS: A QUELIOT MIX

[aniallating]

BALANCE ACT | an Eliot playlist | listen here

a mix for when u fuck up something really important and go thru hell for a chance to correct it, or, i love and would die for eliot waugh. relevant lyrics/timeline under the cut!

01 selfish / this providence ・ i've got this selfish craze, a lavish taste for a brightly lit stage / infamous and famous, they are one and the same / so we drink tonight to my impending fame ・ i've found the perfect disguise: impossible charisma, charisma ・ you might deny it, but you're tied to your desires / yeah, you're selfish / you're selfish, so drink up

02 sunshine riptide / fall out boy ・ the world tried to burn all the mercy out of me, but you know i wouldn't let it / it tried to teach me the hard way, i can't forget it ・ take all your possibilities and throw away the limits / take your ideas and throw away the gimmicks / i do the best with what i have

03 the future / san holo ft. james vincent mcmorrow (post-mosaic) ・ so call me up, we go out / realize, not what you thought / sick of luck, sick of trying / remind myself of when i was old enough to let you down ・ run my mouth right through your lungs / i think too much when i think about your future

04 you could be happy / snow patrol (the rest of S3) ・ all the things i wished i had not said are played on lips til it's madness in my head ・ you could be happy, i hope you are / you made me happier than i'd been by far / somehow everything i own smells of you ・ do the things that you always wanted to without me there to hold you back

05 hold my breath until i die / tegan and sara (mid-monster) ・ when you asked me who, i should have said 'it's you' ・ shame on me, cause i can't help falling at your feet / it makes me mad to see you leave like that / i'm so lost, running circles in my head / if i jump, will you catch me in your arms? ・ i said i'm sorry / does it bother you? why does it bother you?

06 don't take the money / bleachers (happy place) ・ somebody broke me once / love was a currency, a shimmering balance act / i think that i laughed at that ・ i pray for everything we lost, buy back the secrets / your hand forever's all i want, don't take the money ・ when you're looking at your shadow, standing on the edge of yourself, praying on the darkness / just don't take the money

07 electric indigo / the paper kites (happy place) ・ distance never made me stronger, it tore us apart / and i know i left you questions and a lonely heart / but you've been waiting long enough to let it go / i'll do you right ・ all i know is that i want you, so heavy on my mind

08 i'll be good / jaymes young (post-monster) ・ i never meant to start a fire, i never meant to make you bleed / i'll be a better man today ・ my past has tasted bitter for years now ・ i've been cold, i've been merciless, but the blood on my hands scares me to death ・ for all of the sparks that i stomped out, for all of the perfect things that i doubt

09 delicate / taylor swift (4x13 who?) ・ my reputation's never been worse, so you must like me for me / we can't make any promises, now, can we, babe? but you can make me a drink ・ is it cool that i said all that? is it too soon to do this yet? cause i know that it's delicate, isn't it? ・ do the girls back home touch you like i do? long night with your hands up in my hair, echoes of your footsteps on the stairs / stay here, honey, i don't wanna share / cause i like you

10 i like me better / lauv (post-s4 or whatever) ・ to be young and in love in new york city, to not know who i am but still know that i'm good long as you're here with me ・ i like me better when i'm with you

icb the universe gave eliot a break after s4 and now he and quentin live together and have time to relax and heal! thanks for coming to my ted talk

Ughhhh, damn it. I’m adding a bonus track I forgot about last night. If anything describes our favorite bisexual disaster in the early seasons, it’s the chorus of “Darrell and Alicia” by The Horatii.  Literally “I have desires for Darrell, but I’d settle for Alicia”.

Happy Valentine's Day, Queliot!

Chapter 3 of you want it darker? || dark king eliot is now live! As a Queliot gift for Valentine's Day!

This chapter does still focus on Eliot's grief, and Quentin's still technically dead (but not really/permanently?). But, as dark and angsty as this story can be, there's a strong emphasis on the Queliot love story. It feels essential to me. Hopefully you’ll agree! Big 🍑❤️ to all of you today (Happy Valentine’s Day, no matter when you read this!) (Yes, today this fic finally earns its E-rating!)

A big thank you to my collaborator @juliawickers❤️who in addition to all the support and inspiration, and creating the original concept, graphic, and fanmix❤️has made an edit for Ch. 2 and now a queliot au: you want it darker? || dark king eliot pin board with Ch. 3❤️

Summary for Chapter 3 specifically:

Eliot sees glimpses of Quentin everywhere. Hears his voice. Feels his phantom touch.

He knows it's really Q. And that no one will believe him. Telling Margo or Julia will only make them worry more.

Meanwhile, attempts to bring Quentin back continue to fail. Will a visit with an old friend help turn things around?

================

Thank you @queliotbingo! ❤️ This WIP as a whole will be marking my Resurrection/Reincarnation, Time Travel, Underworld squares

Thank you @ficwip for Hey, Sweetheart 2024! In addition to meeting the "sweetheart" challenge (several times!), Chapter 3 fits today's themes of 🗺️ Forest and 💕 mutual pining.

IF I’VE DONE WRONG | a Quentin playlist | listen here

a mix for when u refuse to give up no matter how much it sucks and also the world owes you like 16 favours after this so you deserve to fuckin relax. relevant lyrics/timeline under the cut!

01 your side of the bed / landon austin (post-mosaic) ・ i can't sleep cause she's where you're supposed to be ・ she's getting all the songs you used to get / she's getting all the words inside of my head / she's sleeping on your side of the bed, but it's still your side / now i'm up all night

02 fools / troye sivan ・ i need time to replace what i gave away / and my hopes, they are high, i must keep them small / though i try to resist, i still want it all ・ i see a little house on the hill and children's names / i see quiet nights poured over ice and tanqueray / but everything is shattering and it's my mistake / only fools fall for you

03 memo / years & years ・ you seek yourself in another way / i try my best but i don't ever change ・ i want you to stay / and if i try my hardest, would you look my way? ・ let me take your heart, love you in the dark / no one has to see / i want more, i want more

04 you're somebody else / flora cash (the monster) ・ i saw the part of you that only when you're older you will see, too / you will see, too / i held the better cards, but every stroke of luck has got a bleed through ・ well, you look like yourself but you're somebody else / only it ain't on the surface / well, you talk like yourself / no, i hear someone else, though / now you're making me nervous ・ you were the better part of every bit of beating heart i had / whatever i had

05 wide eyed / billy lockett (the seam) ・ truth is i'm used to making it up on my own / how long will i climb out? i never listen / i'm in remission ・ how long will i say yes over my conscience? truth is i'm wasted before i take it all in / how long will i blame it on past life tragedy? there's no remedy ・ i can't pretend it's not the end / no, it's not the end

06 in my blood / shawn mendes (4x13 who?) ・ keep telling me that it gets better / does it ever? help me, it's like the walls are caving in / sometimes i feel like giving up, no medicine is strong enough ・ i'm looking through my phone again, feeling anxious / afraid to be alone again, i hate this ・ sometimes i feel like giving up, but i just can't / it isn't in my blood

07 all i have to give the world is me / tegan and sara (4x13 WHO) ・ talked myself out of being me, didn't wanna fight my own worst enemy ・ staring down my two halves in the glass feels like a heart attack / telling me to choose one or the other, i get so panicked / i don't wanna lose, but if i choose love, what will happen then? ・ you don't have to change, you don't have to change / all i have to give this world is me, and that's it / all i have to show this world is me, and that's it / just me, just me, just me

08 i wanna get better / bleachers ・ i've trained myself to give up on the past cause i froze in time between hearses and caskets ・ i chase that feeling of an eighteen-year-old who didn't know what loss was / now i'm a stranger ・ i miss the days of a life still permanent / mourn the years before i got carried away / so now i'm staring at the interstate, screaming at myself / hey, i wanna get better

09 mess is mine / vance joy (post-monster recovery) ・ do you like walking in the rain? when you think of love, do you think of pain? you can tell me what you see, i will choose what i believe ・ this body is yours, this body is yours and mine / well hold on, darling, this mess was yours / now your mess is mine ・ your mess is mine / this body's yours and this body's mine / your mess is mine

10 made up love song #43 / lewis watson ・ i love you through sparks and shining dragons, i do / and the symmetry in your northern grin ・ you got me off the sofa, just sprang out of the air / the best things come from nowhere, i can't believe you care ・ yes, i believe you, yes, i believe you

11 straight to hell / hollerado ・ must we explain the perfect moments, like hummingbird wings? they are meant to move too fast for our eyes / and i believe in evolution and the wonder of all things, so why can't salvation be mine? ・ i'm sorry if i've done wrong / but i won't back down cause we don't last long

12 sunday / bloc party (healing) ・ i'll love you in the morning when you're still hungover / i'll love you in the morning when you're still strung out ・ there might be ones who are smarter than you, that have the right answers, that wear better shoes / forget about those melting ice caps, we're doing the best with what we've got ・ when i'm with you i am calm, a pearl in your oyster / head on my chest, a silent smile, a private kind of happiness / you see, giant proclamations are all very well, but our love is louder than words

wow cant believe quentin survived the seam and also told the library to fuck off and now has the time he deserves to recover and heal and be in love with eliot, s5 dont @ me
