Summary
Sometimes, curled up in bed, when all he hears is the thrumming of ears left muffled from the high of a concert, he feels the somewhat grudging tug from the other end—a silent, ‘goodnight to you, as well.’ And then, if Aventurine chances one more cheeky pluck for good measure, he'll earn a firmer response: three tugs as if to say, ‘go to sleep’.
-
Aventurine has long been resigned to live his life in black and white, pulling on a soul-thread with no discernible end.
Sick of the yawning solitude of a life steeped in fate and fortune, he finds himself taking the gamble of a lifetime.- Language:

Summary
“Why’d you call me a gambler?”
Ratio’s head tilts again. His face doesn’t move much. But Aventurine swears he sees the shadow of something like amusement in his features—wry and private, like he’s smiling at a joke no one else heard.
“I can hear it,” Ratio says.
“Hear what?”
“Every time you shift your weight,” Ratio responds, voice low, “there’s a coin in your coat or pants pocket. It strikes against the lining three times—once when you move, twice when you stop. It’s weighted. Slightly larger than standard-issue credits. Smooth edge. It doesn’t roll.”
Aventurine stares.
Ratio lifts his chin. “It is not a commemorative token. It is not a medallion. It’s the kind used in high-stakes tables. Heavy enough to flip with flair, thick enough to stack without slippage. You gamble. Or you want people to think you do.”
A beat.
Aventurine’s mouth goes a little slack. His tongue clicks against the roof of it, dry. “You heard that?”
“I hear everything,”
Aventurine laughs, but it’s shaky, breathless. “You're unnerving, you know that?”
“I get that frequently.”

Summary
PERSONAL NOTES
Highlighted section from employee profile of AVENTURINE OF STRATAGEMS : “Avgin” means “honey” in the Sigonian language. This is a commonplace derogatory term emphasizing the cunning, persuasive and treacherous nature of the Avgins.
Comment from DR. RATIO : What complete rubbish.
Ratio and Aventurine have gotten closer, and closer, and closer, until something has to give. That something was always going to be Aventurine.
(Ratio would argue that he gave in much earlier, it simply wasn't as dramatic.)

how to NOT court an owl as a peacock (a manual on things you shouldn't do) by Skylarcchi for tayzzyronth

Summary
Aventurine was serious about courting his dear doctor, Veritas Ratio who was an owl hybrid. His dazzling, flamboyant attempts at courting only left Ratio feeling utterly baffled and slightly insulted; while one was trying to express his affection, the other kept thinking he was being subtly mocked.
Giving a feather meant two things. For Aventurine, wanting to court someone. For Ratio? Wishing someone ill.
Stones, things to decorate home. For the blond, showing affection. For the doctor? You have no taste. Your nest is unworthy. I pity whoever ends up mating with you, because they’re doomed to a life of disappointment.
But that wasn't the end of it.
From flirting to getting slapped in the face by Aventurine's tail, Ratio was almost sure he did something wrong to make the blond hate him. While Aventurine was busy thinking the doctor was plotting for his downfall, rejecting all his courting rituals.Or two idiots miscommunicating 7 times and deciding to communicate properly 1 time.
