Queliot

Queliot is the slash ship between Quentin Coldwater and Eliot Waugh from The Magicians fandom.

Season 1
UNAUTHORIZED MAGIC

Quentin walks through some kind of magic portal and onto the grounds of a school. Confused by his surroundings he walks up to the building to see a man lying on the sign, smoking. The man looks Quentin over, before asking if he's Quentin Coldwater. Quentin confirms so, and the man hops down. He introduces himself as Eliot, tells Quentin that he's late and to follow him, quickly walking away. Confused, Quentin follows him and asks where he is, Eliot telling him that he's at Brakebills and was offered the exam, and continues to lead him to his exam.

Quentin is getting settled into his room when Eliot bursts in with Margot, who starts examining before Eliot starts to take him on a tour of the school and how everything works. Two people pass them, looking incredibly depressed, and asks who they are. Eliot tells Margot not to say, but Margot thinks they should. Eliot tells Quentin that most of the third year class vanished and those were two of the four left, but doesn't want to focus on it and decides to go find something to smoke.

THE SOURCE OF MAGIC

After an attack on Quentin's class, Eliot and Margot come by to check on him and take them back to the Physical's kids cottage. Out on the porch, Quentin tells Eliot about the spell that he and Alice performed, which Eliot sums up that they messed up. Eliot thinks its really bad, but Eliot tells him that there's a bad story every couple of years, it's unavoidable. Quentin tells Eliot that he's done at Brakebills if he confesses, but can't go back to the mortal world. Eliot gives him a spell to stop the possibility of having his mind read, which Quentin thanks him for. He asks if Eliot can now help him live with the guilt, and Eliot decides it's time for a personal moment. He tells Quentin how he discovered his magic when he killed a man who used to beat him on accident. He wants Quentin to know that he's not alone, and that magic comes from pain.

After talking to the headmistress, Quentin is walking with all of his books, which Eliot see's. Eliot wants to know what he's doing, Quentin telling him that he's returning everything, since his life at Brakebills is over. Eliot says not to say that, but Quentin tells him that they're bringing in a specialist. Eliot is silence, which Quentin knows is bad. Eliot says that he's sorry as Quentin tries to justify not knowing about magic, but he'd rather choose the knowing. Quentin says that Eliot doesn't need to make him feel better since they just met, but Eliot bonds fast. Eliot tells Quintin to not be the old him, but Quentin doesn't know how. He asks if there's a way to avoid having his memory wiped, but Eliot doesn't know.

CONSEQUENCES OF ADVANCED SPELLCASTING

Quentin is talking with Alice, when Eliot walks up ad says that he needs his help, high priority. He pulls Quentin away to a side room where there is a box on the table. He explains that at one of the Physical Cottages parties a book was stolen by someone, and if they don't find it they'll end up in trouble. The box shakes and Quentin asks what's inside. Eliot opens the box, and a book flies out, Eliot quickly explaining that they can be used to find the first volume.

The two go to New York, where the book leads them to a store. Eliot checks it over and see's that it's warded by Hedge Witches. He tells Quentin to let him do the talking as they enter the store. They get to a backroom where there are a large group of witches, Quentin's friend Julia among them. Eliot accuses them of having their book, which the witches deny but their own book finds the other one. They leave but Julia follows them out, and confronts Quentin. Eliot tells him to ignore her, which he doesn't.

Back at the cottage, Quentin and Eliot are drinking as Quentin thinks about Julia and how things turned bad between them. Eliot says that life happens like that, and pours Quentin a glass of wine, but they're interrupted when Kady busts open the door to the cottage as part of her entrance.

MENDINGS, MAJOR AND MINOR

Eliot is drinking with Alice when Quentin pulls him away to talk. He asks about Cancer Puppet, the unofficial Physical kids mascot, which Eliot takes him too. Quentin tells him that he's going to try a spell on cancer puppy to cure him. Eliot helps Quentin prepare the spell, but when he performs it, cancer puppy dies.

IMPRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Quentin wakes up in the middle of the woods, only to see Eliot sitting close by at a fancy table. Eliot gives vague directions for the next test, and Quentin sarcastically asks if he has to spear a fish, but Eliot doesn't give him an answer, and disappears. Quentin calls to him but doesn't get an answer.

THE STRANGLED HEART

Eliot is with his new boyfriend Michael, when Alice and Quentin return from Breakbill South. Eliot introduces them to each other and asks how their trip was. Quentin stammers through an answer, and Eliot can immediately tell that they got together while down there. Alice and Quentin deny it but Eliot just suggests more awkward situations that happened up there. The two then awkwardly leave.

Quentin is studying when Eliot shows up with a pile of clothes, claiming he has nothing to wear. Quentin suggests going to Margot but she's not here, so Eliot had no choice but to turn to him. When Quentin says that everything looks the same to him, Eliot realizes his mistakes and tells him to leave. Quentin reminds him that he was there first, but he's also never actually seen Eliot care about something. Eliot says that there normally isn't much to care about, Quentin reminding him of his few exceptions, which Eliot agrees with. He still wants Quentin to leave.

Fanon
Although many Magicians fans shipped the two, very few thought they would ever get together. This was due to the book series and prior experience with similar type of pairings.

On AO3, Queliot is the most written ship for Quentin and Eliot, as well as the most written ship in The Magicians and The Magicians - Lev Grossman tags.
