    Summary

    Aventurine has always been good at pretending he’s fine—until a single splash sends him spiraling into memories he’d rather forget.

    Ratio sees it. Ratio always sees it.

    And that’s how a charity event, a near-drowning, and a pair of wet hands on his cheek turn into something Aventurine never expected:

    A lesson in trust.

    A lesson in floating.

    Maybe even a lesson in love.

    Summary

    “If it’s you, then I suppose that’ll be the best case scenario.” Aventurine said, his demeanor relaxed as if nothing happened. “What’s more fun than being able to dive deep into that head of yours and feel like I’m disappointed at people all the time? Ah, but don’t strike me down if I get a song stuck to your head.”

    Ratio sighed, and he released Aventurine’s arm.

    “I’d prefer if you don’t think about doing that.”

    Or:

    Ratio and Aventurine are testing a Curio where it makes them share their thoughts and emotions.

    Summary

    Hallucinations greet Kakavasha in the place of his vision, on the bridge between his mind and his barren optic nerves. Visual and strange, like daytime dreams with no tether to the appearance of reality. Kakavasha sees his own face in these visions, abstract and inhuman. He sees his big sister, standing far in the distance from him, crouched on the ground but smearing away in an array of brand new colors that never existed when he was sighted.

    What if Aventurine really did sell his eyes?

    A canon divergent story that focuses on Aventurine through the events leading up to Penacony, his mission, and the bittersweet aftermath... and falling in love with his colleague, Dr. Ratio.

    Summary

    Aventurine runs his left hand through his hair in a futile attempt to calm his nerves, pacing back and forth in agitation. "But this is a hotel, and a high-end one at that. People pay to sleep here. Why would they jeopardize their reputation by offering a haunted hotel? It's absurd."

    Ratio finally releases the door handle and starts descending the stairs. "If you have any complaints, you can take them up with management," Ratio suggests as he waits for Aventurine to follow.

    Aventurine huffs. "Maybe I will."

    Or:

    Aventurine books them a hotel in the Luofu. It’s haunted, much to his dismay.

    Summary

    "The Ten-Lords Commission believes there are hundreds, if not thousands of undocumented ghosts and sprites."

    "Well, aren't we just lucky to have stumbled upon the one hotel that has them all?"

    Or:

    Aventurine books them a hotel in the Luofu. It’s haunted, and Ratio suffers for it.

    Summary

    “Damned Gambler, you came out alive, after all,” he said like he knew all along — like he hadn’t been panting in the hallways from running to find Aventurine and see for himself that he doesn’t have to live the next chapters of his life in excruciating grief.

    “Surprised, are we? I told you I never lose a gamble, Doctor,” Aventurine said, a small smirk appearing in his lips. He kept up with his facade as always, but Veritas didn’t miss the hints of weariness he displayed. Bits of hair strands were strayed and unruly, which meant he hadn’t combed his hair properly prior to leaving his room. One button from his vest remained unattached and his wrists were empty, lacking the sparkly ornaments he wears regularly.

    The lighting in the lobby was just bright enough for Veritas to notice the hints of darkness circling his dimmed eyes. He felt his heart sink against his chest.

    Aventurine is avoiding him. Veritas yearns.

    Summary

    Aventurine had been a slave to the capitalist machine for far too long, and having successfully used the Penacony plot to escape it, then escape the dormancy within the dreamscape, all is well. Ratio is not as pleased with the situation, not knowing whether or not the gambler made it out alive at all. Luckily, Aventurine finds an interesting looking beetle and who better to ask for its name than the knowledgeable Doctor Ratio?

    Summary

    "For a man of such eloquence, the doctor found that he scarcely knew what to say. To know thyself is the greatest strength one could nurture, but there were precious few tasks as difficult as understanding the inner workings of another."

    Summary

    “So what you’re saying is you’re going to kiss me and fuck me until all I want to do is stay alive,” Aventurine says after a grueling minute of confusion. “Right. That’s…wow.”

    Ratio winces. “Must you be so crude? If you need me to engage in physical activity with you, then yes. But that’s not the main point here. If my presence will heal you, then we must capitalize on this precious opportunity your vacation has given you and make immediate changes to accommodate your needs.”

    “...So you are saying you’re going to fuck me senseless—”

    “No, you imbecile!” Ratio scowls, eyes narrowing into a glare. “I’m asking you to move in with me!”

    “What,” Aventurine says so blandly, so blindly that he chokes on thin air. He stops to pause and breathe, focusing on not dying from lack of oxygen because- “What the fuck?”

    Or in which Aventurine is suffering from the side effects of the Nihility and Ratio’s grand solution is to ask the gambler to move in with him. Aventurine has no idea how this thing called domesticity works, but hey, at least they’re working together again.

    Summary

    He hears thunder. Perhaps it is the mother goddess, come to punish him for his misuse of his blessing. But no, it is the audience, those who bet on the “good looking piece of meat” happy that their investment paid off. He is sick, sick from what he’s done, sick from the way they cheer for him, sick from the way they scream “Signonian” instead of his name.

    He does not vomit. He does not shout at them. He does not ask them how they can watch such callousness with smiles on their faces.

    Instead, he whispers to himself, “All or nothing,” and takes a bow.

    Summary

    “You—why would I be headed back to the bedroom?”

    Ratio’s gaze does not falter. “Are you not ready to sleep?”

    A beat. “In here?”

    “Where else, gambler? It’s late, do not play dense. You and I both know you are far smarter than that.”

    A series of unfortunate events results in Aventurine spending a few nights at Ratio's place. Or, the cat cakes have fleas and there was only one bed.

    Summary

    Unfortunately, a lifetime's worth of ideology was not changed in the span of said revolutionary days, for some. As another opportunity presents itself, Dr. Ratio will take this unforeseen second chance to take a gamble with an individual who's supposed to be "dead". However, it seems like both parties have a lot to learn about themselves and each other for this attempt to be successful. | An unintentional series of snapshots of the two cohabitating for a "temporary" period of time.

    Summary

    It was so easy for Aventurine to lean against Ratio with all of his weight, to allow himself to let the doctor do all of the walking whilst Aventurine stumbled over his own feet. Aventurine realized this at some point, and as far as revelations go, he had to say he hated this one in particular. He rarely let himself get like this, because the last thing he wanted was to be pulled around by the whim of another person without any power to stop it. That was dangerous... and not in a way he liked. Yet he did not feel anything dangerous pressed against Veritas Ratio… and that was a realization he did not care to ruminate on. “I think I’m going to throw up,” Aventurine said.

    The doctor sighed tiredly. “Please don’t.”

    Summary

    Aventurine wants to laugh as he goes slack against Ratio’s side, but all that comes out is a pained wheeze.

    A bullet, really?

    There’s poetic justice in one finally managing to reach him only when it was meant for someone else.

    When Aventurine finally manages to outrun his luck, it’s not the result of a grand scheme or one of his high-stake gambles. Instead, on what should have been a routine mission, he gets shot.

    Ratio is there to pick up the pieces.

    Summary

    “Ratio?” he asks, stepping a bit closer. “It’s me, Aventurine. Are you… do you want to go home?”

    At the mention of his name, Ratio stills, a light startle in his step as he turns to face Aventurine. He drops his hands, lacing them back together in front of him. He looks dazed, normal intensity lost from his eyes as they open glassy and vacant. They flex wide with recognition, but he doesn’t say anything.

    Ratio goes quiet, and Aventurine doesn't know what to do.

    Summary

    Ratio stares back at him. The typical acuity of his eyes has dulled into something more welcoming. He raises a hand, the pads of his gloved fingers brushing against the gems of Aventurine’s earring. “Peacock feathers do not fade or lose their shiny luster, even after the animal has died.”

    “I didn’t think you’d be a maundering drunk,” Aventurine scowls, but doesn’t tilt his head away from Ratio’s hand. The doctor’s words are something that Aventurine is neither drunk nor sober enough to ruminate on.

    or, five conversations aventurine and ratio don't have and one they finally do.

    Summary

    “If this occurrence is so fleeting, why does it trouble you so deeply to hurt someone who has already hurt you?”

    “Because,” Aventurine said, anger sharpening the edges of his words, “He’s eleven, alright? He’s eleven years old and he just wants to see his sister again.” Ratio’s expression flickered, a terrible pitiless sorrow turning his mouth. That it was for him made Aventurine burn with shame. “And anyway, he fucked with my head,” Aventurine finished, rather lamely. “I know my enemy and he wasn’t a child.”

    Summary

    The second time Ratio found Aventurine cornered in an alley, it wasn’t coincidence—it was routine.

    He didn’t mean to get involved. He didn’t mean to care. But when someone keeps ending up in trouble and pretending it doesn’t hurt, what choice does a man have?

    A couch. A night. A boundary neither of them fully understands. And the slow, silent question: how long can someone survive like this?

    Summary

    Here was the risk that Ratio had been anticipating. He made a move to enter, but beyond the doorless opening he heard a sound.

    “Dr. Ros.” It was Aventurine. Ratio suppressed a groan. How could he be so stupid? Didn’t he know that this room was what Eosphoros-I was famous for? He prepared to stride inside and drag whoever was there out to a proper meeting room—

    —before he stopped short at the sight of himself.

    On a distant planet slated for IPC acquisition, there exists a room designed to extract one’s deepest desires.
