Veritas Ratio V.S. The Universe by cakecats

Summary
Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?
Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?
【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】
【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】
Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.

Summary
The man bristled, his gaze darting around with nervous uncertainty. “What’s the catch?” His tone was wary and thick with distrust.
“As I said,” Veritas gripped his sleeve, trying to temper his frustration, “you will be my lab assistant.” He paused. “This does mean that you will take orders from me, but it will be as an employer, not a master. You maintain the right to refuse and leave my company at any time, however, as one with far more experience in navigating the real world, I would not advise doing so until you have a stronger foundation.”
“...” The former slave’s expression flattened into something difficult to read. He almost looked like a different person altogether without his usual facade of faux-confidence. “You’re a strange man, doctor.”
“So I’ve been told.”
--
Ratio is 'gifted' a slave. Even though he frees the man from his service immediately upon arrival, he can't help but feel responsible for the well-being of a person with nowhere else to go.
So, in lieu of any better ideas, he takes the former slave on as his lab assistant. Just until he gets back on his feet, of course.

Summary
Veritas, very gently, places a hand on the front of Aventurine’s pants. “Did that excite you?”
He half expects Aventurine to fumble his words or not reply at all, but instead, he says, “An incredibly hot fish man just licked blood from my torso. How else would I react?” He says it like Veritas is the fool for thinking it wouldn’t.
“You find me to be good looking, then?”
This is what he decides to focus on.
“As a person with a working pair of eyes, yes. Definitely.”
“I do not scare you?”
“You scare the fuck out of me,” Aventurine explains and Veritas is only a little confused with how human minds work, “but that is why you’re hot. And it helps that your body’s build would have gym bros on their knees.”

Summary
“Ah,” Aventurine said, rubbing his arm, “so that’s why they had us refresh all our vaccinations before this trip. We’re not in any danger of falling ill, are we? I’d hate to ruin such a nice vacation.”
“It’s unclear,” Ratio said. Aventurine side-eyed him, looking less relaxed now. But if those folktales had any merit to them at all, “more likely, no.”
They were approaching the town now, inclined turquoise shingles peeking out over the edges of the treeline. It seemed like every building here was overgrown with flowers—flowers burst from the vines on white stucco walls, bouquets hung from the bucket-laden stalls at every corner, and almost all the windows were decorated with boxes abundant with blooms.
“It’s beautiful, but,” he grimaced, voicing Ratio’s thoughts aloud, “a little morbid, isn’t it?”
To a scientist, mythology and fairy tales are simply veneers that warp and obscure the truth. And to a doctor, diseases are problems that can be solved with logic rather than love.

Summary
Aventurine nods, curiously waiting for Ratio to elaborate. Is Ratio planning to read to him? That is the sort of activity Ratio would consider leisurely, albeit rather mundane. Still, Aventurine muses, Ratio does have a pleasant voice, so it wouldn't be so bad.
With a determined nod, Ratio extends his hand expectantly, the other hovering over the book he had placed on the ladder earlier. After a moment's hesitation, Aventurine accepts.
As Ratio's hand touches the book, Aventurine feels a sudden lurch, and that's all the warning he gets before they're falling.
Or:
Veritas Ratio possesses the unique ability to enter the world of any book he touches. He uses it to take Aventurine on not-dates.

Summary
Aventurine's plan in Penacony fails. Ratio comes to his rescue. The plan? Marry Screwllum for his protection.
There's a reason he isn't called Ratio of Stratagems.
"Why him?" Aventurine asks, trying to puzzle out the catch when Ratio suggests Screwllum. "I thought you despised those genius types. Trying to sell me off to your archnemesis, huh?"
"Because I trust him with my life."
"Whoa, Doctor. That's quite the confession. Careful, someone might use that against you someday."
"Don't be obtuse. Screwllum is my husband. Breathe a word of that to anyone and I'll hand you to Sunday myself."
Wait— What? Ratio was married? Aventurine laughs shrilly. Maybe he hit his head harder than he thought. "Doctor, you’re losing me here. You want me to marry your husband?"
"Do you object? We can extract you from Penacony in under 2 system hours."

Summary
In this world, to eat is to survive. Aventurine learned this from a very young age. However, the people he became acquainted with in his role as a strategic investment specialist did not follow the same rules. A show of wealth, to consume rather than eat. A show he desperately put on to rub shoulders with those considered elite.
When a deal goes bad, Aventurine finds himself in Ratio’s care, who is determined to help treat his problem.
Can he learn to live, rather than simply surviving?

Summary
The night was tiring for Aventurine, he had been drinking and gambling until late at night, and all he wanted was to just throw himself into bed and rest, not being disturbed until the time his body wanted to be woken up, and be able to enjoy the next day strolling around the Penacony's dream world. However, his morning did not go as he wanted; on the contrary, he found himself in an unfamiliar and old-fashioned room.
That morning, another blonde woke up in the bed in the room in Penacony, but it wasn't him. Kaveh had spent the night in a similar situation, but his body was awakened in a place with a strange unreal feeling.

Summary
“Doctor…”
Ratio briefly snapped his attention to the fellow colleague who called to him, before returning his gaze onto the merman before him: A beautiful creature of the sea, with a long tail of shimmering emerald scales that scintillated an almost hypnotic light and a small, lithe upper body. Long, golden locks flowed, brilliant and looking so soft.

The bad luck of living by enigmaticfool
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
20 Mar 2025
Tags
Summary
Behind the eerie calmness, behind the reckless arrogance, there was vulnerability. Aventurine longed for death, for release from the horrors and deals he's had to make. Beyond that, though, Ratio almost felt like the man was longing for hope.
Even if that flicker of hope exists within Aventurine, it is obvious he intends to destroy it. The gambler will endlessly pursue higher and higher stakes until finally one of them takes his life. He said that he would be the final victor, but Ratio can only assume that he will only consider himself victorious once he finally dies.
Even if those enamoring and enigmatic eyes permanently remain etched on the inside of his eyelids; even if the ache of having their hands guiding each other to discovery and death perpetually itches his skin; he knows when the risks are too high to justify the pursuit. Dr. Veritas Ratio doesn't gamble, he only takes calculated risks, even if right now he really wants to.
-
Aventurine tries to throw away his life; Ratio tries to not fall in love with a man who yearns for death. Aventurine eventually learns to love himself and to love and be loved; Ratio learns that logic is not truth and that emotions are not a vulnerability.

Strangers in the Night by veris_militude (semblanceoflife)
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
28 Jul 2024

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
Panes of glass surrounded him on all sides, the space hardly large enough to stretch out his tail. Even though he was regarded as smaller among his kind, it was still a tight squeeze, but he made it work. Had to make it work, considering it was all Aventurine was provided.
It was hard to tell how long he’s been here, the days rolling over into the weeks. Or at least that is what he’s gathered, having lost track of time long ago.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this…Merman Aventurine was captured by pirates and managed to escape into the arms of the local lighthouse keeper, Veritas Ratio. A merventurine fic based off of the genius artwork of havanillas.
