    Summary

    Ratio shifts forward. “If there is something I can do to assist you, Aventurine, then I will try my best to—”

    “I need you to marry me.”

    To escape a bureaucratic shitstorm brought on by his less-than-complete onboarding paperwork, Aventurine comes to Ratio with a proposal: stay married for a period of two years, then get an easy, quickie divorce once Aventurine's residency status is secure.

    Only, it's not enough for them to simply get married; the marriage has to look legitimate too. Which is fine. Aventurine can act the part. Except, he's not really acting. Not anymore. And this last-minute trip to visit Ratio's family in Bumfuck Nowhere, Veritas Prime as Ratio's newly minted fiancé is threatening to prove it.

    (inspired by The Proposal)

    Summary

    “If it’s you, then I suppose that’ll be the best case scenario.” Aventurine said, his demeanor relaxed as if nothing happened. “What’s more fun than being able to dive deep into that head of yours and feel like I’m disappointed at people all the time? Ah, but don’t strike me down if I get a song stuck to your head.”

    Ratio sighed, and he released Aventurine’s arm.

    “I’d prefer if you don’t think about doing that.”

    Or:

    Ratio and Aventurine are testing a Curio where it makes them share their thoughts and emotions.

    Summary

    A click sounds from behind Veritas: the safety of the gun no doubt now pointed at him being turned off. “Get away from that thing.”

    “That thing?” Veritas spits out the word, anger boiling in his gut.

    “The android,” Sunday says. “You’re an intelligent man, learned doctor. Surely you can see it was trying to use you to lower our guard.”

    “Him,” Veritas says. “Him. Not it.”

    His attacker lets out a hollow laugh. “Him? That there isn’t a person but a Trojan horse. A pretty facade with rotten insides, ready to open our doors to a horde of others of its kind.”

    Veritas’ hands tighten into fists at his side. “You know nothing about him.”

    Being an android wasn't Aventurine’s only secret, Veritas learns when he's desperately trying to patch him up. My take on a Rota Fortunae AU.

    Summary

    Marketed as the ‘land of love’ to those smitten enough to fall victim, the prerequisite for entry upon the Terra Amoris is about as baffling as it is laughable.
    “—And somewhere along the way, we have to fake-date about it.” Aventurine adds wryly. There's no way to beat around the bush with this one. “An honourable role to play with you, if I may add. I was meaning to ask — does that mean I'm gonna get to hold your hand, doctor? Get a little cosy with you? I mean, we'll have to make pretty convincing lovers, right?”

    Investigating strange new terrain across the cosmos, Aventurine and Ratio travel to the enchanting planet of Terra Amoris, where posing as a couple is their only ticket to entry. But as they navigate the planet’s strange rituals and unsettling gazes, they begin to suspect that the promise of eternal love hides a darker secret.

    Summary

    The man steps closer to check him. See which parts are worth salvaging, maybe. “Your optics are damaged.” A pause; maybe he’s looking elsewhere. “Are your legs malfunctioning? They appear to have sustained significant damage as well.”

    “Servos broke down a few days ago. Probably still good for scrap, though.”

    “Why would--ah. You think I intend to take you apart.”
