    Summary

    Flowers are strange, beautiful things.
    Colorful, silent beings.
    Elegant, graceful blooms.
    Blossoms that only speak with an honest tongue.

    Aventurine and Ratio has lived together for almost a year. So far, they would share the sentiment that life together has been simple yet enjoyable. They're close friends, as they would say.

    Except sometimes, some things can blossom in a close relationship.

    And, they can also come out of someone's mouth.

    Summary

    Their world is at the peak of a brutal and catastrophic failure of humankind. The police got eradicated which started the opening of their dystopian world. Something nobody had seen coming.

    "THERE YOU FUCKING ARE, YOU RUNT! GET BACK HERE!"

    Alban's feet stumbled forward as he ran, eyes brimming with tears from terror, momentarily forgetting about how tired and hurt he was.

    "P-Ple—ease—!" He gasps out, his legs close to giving up as he felt his vision shake. "H-He... Help... Plea—"

    Alban felt a strong arm wrap around his right side, his eyes closed as his warm tears continued falling.

    "You're safe."

    Summary

       Xiao didn’t make him angry… did he? Did he do something wrong? Snapped at the wrong time, brushed him off, something? Was all of this Xiao’s fault? Maybe—just maybe—if Xiao had been more accepting, more cordial, accepted the smiles more often, this wouldn’t have happened. If he had only given Aether a little more attention, if he’d accepted the Lanturn Right date outright like he wanted to… This was his fault, all his fault, and because of Xiao, Aether might be severely hurt. That was the only explanation. It was his fault it was his fault it was his fa—

        “Xiao?”

        He looked to Ganyu, who was carefully observing in the doorway. His breath was quick and heavy, his throat was dry, and his hands were shaking. Xiao was sure he looked like a caged animal with how he had snapped to attention. He needed to find them, and quick, but a self induced panic attack wasn’t going to get him anywhere.

        “Where’s Paimon?” he snarled.

        “With Lady Ningguang. I can take you to—”

        In a burst of teal blue and black smoke, Xiao was gone from the middle of the room.
    -
    Aether's been kidnapped, and Xiao is forced to look at the traumatic waves of his past.

    Summary

    He should have kept his mouth shut, Jiaoqiu thinks as the effects of the Anti-Lupitoxin pill start to wear off, trembling on his knees as wave after wave of debilitating fear washes over him.

    What hubris to think he could somehow stall Hoolay. Jiaoqiu should have known that him trying to save anyone would be futile. In the end, his failed attempt to help will just end up making things worse instead.

    ---

    Or my take on what could happen during Jiaoqiu's captivity.

    Summary

    “Well, if you haven’t noticed, that little stunt you pulled likely didn’t leave the best impression,” Topaz muttered, crossing her arms, “If that crush of yours decides to break ties with the IPC because of you, we both know it’s your head on the chopping block."

    She didn’t mean to call Dr. Ratio his crush, the word just came tumbling out in the midst of her ireful rant, but her eyes widened when the faint tint of red against the other’s face expanded into a full on blush.

    “My crush?” Aventurine repeated, his tone was teasing but she noticed the way it slightly shook. He put his shades over his eyes before turning back to her, “Thought you were more mature than to use such elementary terms, let alone believe in love, but you prove me wrong, Miss Topaz.”

    OR

    Topaz had always felt apprehensive around Aventurine, but after getting a glimpse of his true demeanor underneath that self-confident exterior of his, she starts to understand him better. Thus, begins her secret mission to get him and the unknowing catalyst of their friendship, Dr. Ratio, together.

    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.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    I love this so much (huge essay incoming with potential spoilers idk)

    The plot of penacony has always revolved around the question on why does life slumber and I liked reading all the different answers to it so I'm glad that fanworks have also addressed this, makes it all feel like it did actually fit into the game despite this being an AU.

    Additionally, the way the story was told leaves me desiring for more everytime I finish a chapter (thankfully I found the fic when it finished). This fic managed to balance character relationships so well while making sure that everyone stays in character. The way the vocabulary and language is manipulated to make readers (or me, I love stories where the plot is a character learning to be loved, also excuse me suddenly slipping in Literature analysis because school) feel is amazing, the different experience between POVs caught me really off guard (but in a good way)

    Overall, amazing read!! I've never considered sending fanfics to my friend who doesn't read fics in general (or, well, any friend whether they read fanfics or not) but I'm seriously thinking of sharing this one simply because of how well-written it is.

    I've also never wrote like a book report thing in my bookmarks but I really wanted to talk about the fic so =]

    Summary

    Without fail, Ratio finds him after every project, at every bar and casino. He drags Aventurine back to his hotel or penthouse, plying him with water and food until Aventurine is almost eating three meals a day.

    Each night, Aventurine is lulled to sleep by Ratio’s irritated scolding, and every morning, he wakes to a tall glass of water and hangover pills on his nightstand, with breakfast pre-made and waiting in the fridge.

    One night, after Ratio leaves, Aventurine coughs. It must be allergies.

    Or:

    Aventurine has Hanahaki.

    Summary

    Toge was tempted to call out for someone, but he knew better than to try. The estate was different; it wasn’t like when he was with his friends at school. Even his safe words were seen as despicable, and Toge was taught to never utter a word at all. 

    So he waited.
    ...
    Toge feels he has no choice but to visit when the clan calls him home, but he knows better than to trust them completely.

    “INUMAKI! YOU DEMON! I’M GOING TO GET YOU FOR THIS!” The potter shouted across the market, Toge waving happily in response.

    Yuuta’s heart sank at the vendor's implication.

    Because the potter thought the quiet flower merchant would be back tomorrow.

    Oh, how Yuuta wished he would be back tomorrow.

    Summary

    Toge blinked, tearing himself away from the toilet bowl to wipe the back of his hand against his chin. The slick saliva was blush in color, not the deep red he had expected to see after such a taxing mission.

    Though, Toge already knew it wasn’t just his throat that was injured.

    The stained petals swirling in the porcelain basin told him that much.

    Because, after all he had been through, life thought it would be freaking hilarious to plop him into the middle of some obscure romance manga. The kind that had a tragic ending.

    Because Hanahaki wasn’t real.

    And Toge Inumaki was, succinctly, fucked.

    Summary

    ...and Yuuta's its victim.

    But the shackles tugged harshly at his wrists with every longing glance he spared towards the delectable looking snack. The chains clanked together loudly in his mind in a miserable cacophony that reminded him that he couldn’t be happy, and it didn’t matter what he did. He would always be bound by self hatred, always bound by the notion that any and all joys and comforts that surrounded food were unwarranted wherever he was concerned.

    5 times Yuuta refused food, and the 1 time he finally accepted it and the help that came along with it.

    Summary

    Toge gapes at his bedsheets, eyes fixed on the single, indigo petal he just coughed up.

    Despite just coming out from his throat, the petal is completely dry and healthy. It’s a rather beautiful shade of blue too, deep and vibrant, similar to the flowers that Toge likes to grow in the garden. If he had to compare the colour to something, maybe he’d say a midnight sky, or…

     

    Yuuta’s eyes.

    toge catches hanahaki and realises he's in love with his best friend. guess he'll die.
