Summary
If his eyes could glow, he'd most certainly sell them. Anyone would be a fool not to.
When his information and photo is put onto a black market website with a hefty sum for his head, it is Aventurine himself who takes on the task of infiltrating the market with the intent to either raze it to the ground, or turn it into something profitable for the IPC. Truly, the only entertaining element is that it is Veritas Ratio who must follow him through a swarm of hunters waiting to sink their claws deep into his throat.

Summary
The first time Aventurine offers to sleep with one Doctor Veritas Ratio, it's supposed to be business as usual.
In Aventurine’s experience, everyone in the Guild is hungry for praise, happy to have their egos stroked, and if they happen to get their dick wet at the same time, even better.Everyone is happy.
Except, apparently, Ratio, who seems to have missed the memo.
—-
Or a handful of times Aventurine and Ratio find themselves sleeping together – literally or figuratively– and a few times they don’t.More serious than it sounds.

Summary
A bleak look crossed Wriothesley’s face and Neuvillette realized that he was being allowed to see such an expression. Though it caused something unidentifiable in him to ache like a physical pain, Neuvillette was honored to be allowed to see such a rare, fragile thing. “Because it is better to have him in my life in any capacity,” he said, “than not at all.”
---
An outing to see an opera together turns into a discussion of love, of pain, and of doing anything for the one that means everything.

Summary
Neuvillette looked as if he wanted to say more, unsure of where to start, but he just shook his head and made to leave. He paused as his fingers curled around the door handle.
“Why Wriothesley?” he asked.
Wriothesley shrugged. “It’s a name that better reflects the man I am now.”
“And who’s that?”
I’m sorry.
He locked his jaw. “Someone who did what the Law couldn’t do.”

Summary
The conclusion Minho has come to after nights spent thinking of wavy brown hair when he spaces out during Jeongin’s kids shows, days spent with his eyes skimming the beach for a glimpse of honey skin, is that humans have an interest in the unknown.
Jisung is a new character in his day to day, the first in ages, ever since Hyeju got hired as a lifeguard. Jisung is pretty and he’s from the mainland but he seems to be setting up a life here, and Minho knows nothing about him besides his name. His brain has inexplicably latched onto a weaved story, a routine thing he and Hyunjin do, because humanity craves to learn more about the unknown.
The Jisung in his head is separate from the Jisung on the beach, though they look the same. A temporary annoyance, a psychological torment.
(OR: Minho, left to care for his younger brother after his parents death, works to make ends meet and doesn't have time for distractions. Jisung, a free-spirited and very distracting surfer, moves to town and turns Minho's world on it's head.)

It’s different like this, with everyone asleep and the dorm charcoal-dark.

Summary
It was a good thing Jisung had his ankle hooked around Minho’s under this crooked, rickety table because otherwise, he would have floated up to the sky, untethered, untenable. His raw, red heart a beacon amongst the pale blue and cotton white, laid bare for all who remained with their feet firmly on the ground to see, the way it beat, fast and furious, a rhythm that would be telling even to a casual observer, that screamed with every pound: He loves me. He loves me. He loves me.

Summary
“It’s everything and nothing at all. Just a dark place where you can be anything you want.”
“Because it’s dark?”
“Because it’s dark,” Minho agreed, his smile pressed against the shell of Jisung’s ear. “You can be whoever you want in the dark.”
The song changed, but Jisung didn’t. He ran his fingers through Minho’s hair, pulled him closer, and whispered in his ear, “Who are you in the dark, Lee Minho?”

Minho and Jisung go on a late night adventure and find out that some things can only be seen when the lights are out.Bookmarked by ergastulum

Summary
“I’m just curious,” Jisung insists. He fidgets on the bed, pressing harder against the cool wall at his back. The words feel wrong in his mouth, like chewing on grains of sand. Like a lie. “Can't a guy be curious about his friends' sex lives?”
Changbin flicks his forehead with aggression that Jisung thinks is wholly unwarranted. “You deserved that,” Changbin informs him and smiles, an awful, knowing smile that makes Jisung instantly uneasy. “Is that what's eating at you, that you’ve never had Minho-hyung like that? Being his self-proclaimed soulmate and favourite person in the world isn’t enough, is it? You want all of him to yourself.” Changbin tsks, wagging a finger at him. “Greedy, greedy Hannie.”

Summary
Minho is tired. He’s so, so tired, and he’s felt unsafe in his own life since the day he discovered Seojoon and his lover in his bed. At work, in Minho’s flat, at his favourite park with the hideous fountain, he’s always listening for footsteps behind him, braced for impact and seeing danger everywhere with his nerves feeling peeled raw. He’s spiralling downward, he knows he is, and he’s not even sure what’s real anymore.
Making a deal with a demon isn’t the worst-case scenario right now.

Summary
Hyunjin can take Chan’s effusive praise because he knows there’s nothing but love behind it, can handle Jeongin’s shy compliments because he knows Jeongin only ever means it as a good thing.
It’s only when it comes to Changbin that it falls differently, scatters over the expanse of Hyunjin’s skin, like marbles skittering over concrete and cracking against each other with the force of colliding, dying stars.

Summary
“So what’s your call?” Seungmin asked, balancing the coin on his forefinger and thumb.
Minho held up crossed fingers. “Tails.”
“Alright. One, two, three—”
Seungmin flipped the coin in the air, and as soon as it landed in his palm, he slapped it onto the back of his other hand without revealing it.
Minho eyed his two friends warily. “Wait, what’s the punishment if I guess wrong?”
“You have to ask someone out on a date in front of us,” Changbin said.
----------
AKA: It's 1999, and a chance encounter at an arcade leads to an undeniable bond between Minho and Jisung. As they cross the threshold into the new millennium and young adulthood, they try to figure out what it all means, and what they mean to each other.
