    Summary

    “Why do they throw flowers?”

    “They’re well-wishes,” Phainon answers. “Crocuses are for new beginnings, cyclamen are for love, colchicum for fidelity. They’re blessing the marriage.”

    Mydei’s hand shifts a little lower, warm fingers circling Phainon’s wrist. “Your traditions are terribly sentimental.”

    “Romantic,” Phainon corrects. “Just call them romantic.”

    To save his people, Mydei strikes a deal. Aid in exchange for two things: the coreflame of Strife and his hand in marriage.

    Summary

    When Aventurine returns from the Nihility, Ratio expects Aventurine to reject him after he subtly confesses his feelings. However, he's surprised to find that Aventurine returned with a new lease on life. Aventurine tells Ratio that he realized he wants to do more than survive, but it's something that will take time to learn. Ratio promised to wait, no matter how long it took.

    Three years later, Aventurine is finally ready to tell the good doctor how he feels, but after waiting for so long, he's unsure whether Ratio still wants him. Aventurine decides to take Ratio on one last mission together before deciding their fates. It's an easy mission, no gambles required, or at least that's what he thought when he first invited Ratio. How will the two fragile lovers fare when their mission goes awry, and Aventurine is cursed to offer his body and mind to the Family? How will Ratio find a way to rid Aventurine of this curse while escaping the hostile outskirt planet they are stuck on? Will this finally be the push they need to get together, or will it be the thing that finally tears them apart?

    Summary

    Dr. Ratio is trapped in an ever-looping dream where he has garnered the sacred gaze of Nous, following the triumphant launch of his anti-planetary weapon—and has been inducted as the latest member of the Genius Society.

    He hates it.

    He wants to blow his brains out with a gun to escape the dream.

    But he can't.

    The reason: he meets the Past and Future(?) Aventurines, little Kakavasha and the more outspoken, unfiltered gambler who Ratio only see glimpses of whenever the Aventurine of the waking world is too stressed and mentally weak to hide his own inner demons. Ratio decides to stay in the dream for these two, intending to heal them, and perhaps in the process, mend the man fragmented by these neglected aspects of his psyche.

    However, Ratio eventually discovers that the person most in need of healing is, in fact, himself.
