    Summary

    “Like what you see?” He laughs, teases.

    Yes.” The admission is barely even a whisper, meeting the air between the two of them– Aeons, Veritas is only an inch away at this point– and lingering there. Aventurine can hear his heartbeat in his ears and his breathing is suddenly far louder than it needs to be. He can’t help himself. He glances down at those plush lips before lifting them back up to those sunset eyes that seem much more intense than they were just a second ago.

    Aventurine invites Veritas over for some drinks. It turns out that the wine he bought was even more potent to Veritas’ species than his own however. He has no complaints.

    Summary

    “We can’t proceed like this.”

    The bed creaks. The oppressive presence is gone, and Aventurine’s hips are freed. His eyes snap open.

    “Wh-what do you mean?” He doesn’t mean to stammer, but it slips out.

    Ratio is already pulling his underwear back over those same imprisoning thighs. The look that follows is one of disdain or perhaps disgust. “You’re trembling like a leaf. Or had you not noticed?”

    ———

    Aventurine tries intimacy on his own terms. Ratio realizes there’s still healing that needs to happen.

    Summary

    He only meant to offer shelter.

    An injured stranger with no memories.

    A quiet house already full of rescued animals.

    A few gentle days until everything returned to normal.

    It was never supposed to matter.

    But some strays are harder to let go than others.

    Summary

    Aventurine is never quiet—until the morning he doesn’t show up to work, doesn’t answer his messages, and leaves his apartment door half-open.

    Ratio tells himself it isn’t a crisis.
    It’s just irritation.
    Statistically.

    But irritation doesn’t explain why he finds Aventurine feverish on the kitchen floor, too weak to stand, insisting he doesn’t want to “trouble” anyone.

    It definitely doesn’t explain why Ratio ends up in Aventurine’s bed, holding him through the worst night of his life.

    A fever, three Catcakes, one very stubborn gambler, and one man who refuses to admit he cares—
    until caring becomes impossible to hide.

    Summary

    ⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★
    It wasn’t as if nobody had ever asked Aventurine out before, and he knew he was charming and handsome. But this was Ratio, and the Doctor had proven time and time again that he was an unusual and, at times, unpredictable person. Ratio was someone who had once explicitly said he was interested in who Aventurine actually was, not who he presented himself to be. And that kind of honesty and vulnerability was frankly terrifying – something Aventurine had no idea how to reciprocate properly.
    ⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★
    OR
    Ratio and Aventurine endure the most awkward maybe-a-date ever because they're both idiots who are terribly in love and emotionally constipated.

    Summary

    ⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★
    "Let me elaborate. You won't be doing the inspections: you're there for the trade and the financial aspects. I'm sending a representative of the Intelligentsia Guild to do the inspections."

    Aventurine's next snarky reply died in the back of his throat. Suddenly, his nails didn't seem all that interesting. "Oh," he did his best to sound natural and unbothered. "And who might that representative be?"

    While Topaz would never pass up an opportunity to tease and one-up Aventurine, surely this was off limits. There was no way she would have picked Ratio, right?

    Topaz giggled a little bit. Oh, she was enjoying this. "Oh, no one,” she said in a sing-song voice. “Just your favourite little situationship who you've been ghosting."

    It appeared this was not, in fact, off limits.
    ⊹ ࣪ ˖͙͘͡★

    After the events of the last installment of this series, despite things having gone well, Aventurine fears that entering a relationship with Ratio might be too selfish. Against his own wishes, he tries to cut Ratio off, but destiny (Topaz) pushes them together on a mission, giving them a chance to resolve things. WHAT WILL HAPPEN?!

    Summary

    Aventurine looked up through his tear-blurred vision, seeing the steadiness in Ratio’s dark eyes–the patient, unwavering presence that had somehow endured the storm of his confession. “Don’t you get it?” he whispered finally, a fragile, trembling thing, barely audible even to himself. Not a declaration, not a plea–but a truth he could no longer hide beneath the rubble of guilt and fear. “I know the end…everything I’ve ever loved… it always ends. And I… I can’t–I can’t… I can’t lose you too.”

    “You won’t.” Ratio’s thumb brushed lightly across his back in slow, deliberate circles. “Not now. Not tonight. That… that’s the part you can count on gambler”

    or Aventurine's PTSD gets triggered as they escape from a mission.

    Summary

    Aventurine leaned against the railing of his balcony, pulled his lighter out, and—

    The garden was empty. Stems swayed softly in the wind, leaves rustling, though the sliding door never opened, and no water ever poured into the can.

    Strange.

    One warm summer evening, Dr. Ratio, his hot neighbor with a passion for gardening, doesn't show up to tend to his flowers. Or the next, or the one after that.
    Aventurine, curious about what would keep such a dedicated man from his hobby, goes investigate.

    What follows is a tale of broken routines and the joy (and sexual frustration) those changes will bring.

    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.

    Summary

    “At least if I’m here and things go wrong, I can try to keep you from doing anything particularly reckless, though I doubt my chances of success.”

    The words made the growing flame in Aventurine’s heart burn a little brighter. What had started out as barely smoldering coals was quickly becoming something he had trouble keeping under control. “Careful. If you keep talking like that, I’ll start to think you’re worried about me.”

    For a moment, Ratio was silent. He could feel Aventurine’s expectant gaze on him, waiting for a response. “I had thought that was obvious,” he said quietly.

    Two lonely men with vast differences take a chance to reach out to one another, and find something far more powerful than their pain.

    Summary

    “I am glad to see you,” he says. It doesn’t feel like enough. “You walk into the room and it upturns my entire world. You know that, don’t you? It’s like gravity itself shifts. You don’t have to try. And yet—”

    “And yet, here I am, trying,” Aventurine cuts in, smiling, that gods-awful fake smile. He nudges the tray forward before taking a few steps backwards. “Trying anyway. And it still isn’t good enough.”

    “Aventurine. Don’t—”

    “Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll still love you tomorrow.” It’s said as if it’s a punchline to some cruel joke. All the while, Ratio is helpless to do anything but to watch dumbly as the distance between them yawns wider. “Next time, I’ll book an appointment. Enjoy your coffee.”

    Or:
    Ratio and Aventurine are learning how to do the whole relationship thing.

    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.
