Summary
Something inside him, what’s left that’s untouched, broke as more and more of his old comrades followed suit. Not even his burning core could warm the cold seeping into his entire soul as his world comes crashing down on him.
He saved the planet but lost his home for a second time.
His vision tilts and Phainon swallows down the bile in his throat.

Summary
Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.
Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.
Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.
Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.
AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

You Know? The Thing? by gardencornerstone (mimimitsu_honey)

Summary
Dr. Ratio and Aventurine have their own little -isms, privy and known only to each other. They fail to realise that other people don't immediately understand what they're trying to say or what they want with their own little code.
Example 1:
“Hey, can you pass me the thing?”
Example 2:
“Aventurine. The thing.”
Example 3:
“Oh, I know! This is about that thing, right??? “
Everyone else is left wondering how exactly they understand each other so well.
He reached for the door handle.
“... I actually wanted to ask you something.”
Caelus paused. Kakavasha sounded almost shy. Shy??? That's so unlike him.
“Could you…do that thing to me tonight?”
What.
What.
