    Summary

    As much as Sampo wants something more between him and Gepard, he knows there's things he can't do, lines he can't cross. He may want so much more of Gepard, but he knows he can't have what he wants.

    Gepard comes to a different conclusion about what he wants.

    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.

    Summary

    In his early days as a slave, Aventurine was subjected to neuro-reprogramming that, when activated, makes him mindlessly obedient. Thankfully, the program was scrapped, and it’s been over a decade since he’s even seen someone who knows the key phrase – but Aventurine’s luck runs out while he’s crashing Ratio’s vacation.

    Naturally, Ratio is not content to let some bottom feeding slaver make off with one of his few friends. Offering further assistance, however, leads to unforeseen consequences - because as Ratio begins researching Aventurine’s condition and searching for a way to free him from it, their feelings for one another begin to change. But Ratio is all too aware of the ethical issues of being involved with a patient, especially one who has given him so much power over their mind . . . and as for Aventurine, Ratio is the one person he can't risk losing.

    Summary

    As soon as his wounds from Penacony had healed, Aventurine had hopped on the chance to take on another task. If you asked him, there was no better time to take life by the reins, no matter what Topaz said about him being a workaholic. And nobody had a better track record with honey traps than the Avgin himself.

    To track down a troublesome underground organization, Ratio and Aventurine form yet another alliance. A moment of weakness lands Aventurine in a situation he never thought he'd face again.

    Summary

    It was charming, in a sense, the way that Ratio treated their dalliances the way he did his pursuit of knowledge. Meticulous, comprehensive, and idiosyncratic. Aventurine had never known anyone else who kept an ordered list of things they wanted to try in bed.
