    Summary

    Aventurine is known as a difficult skater to work with. He's pushy, argumentative, and a self-proclaimed slacker. He has rushed through a series of coaches, none lasting more than a month, as he either gets tired of them or they give up on him and his tendency to mouth off. Next in this long line is one Veritas Ratio, who has his own difficult reputation to wrestle with. Known as strict and impossible to please, Ratio always gets his way in the end. As Aventurine runs out of potential coaching options, their two skating worlds finally meet while Aventurine struggles to pass this final level: the Gold Singles Test.

    Summary

    Aventurine cuts him off. They both go silent. He stares at the darker spots where the rain has dampened his pants.

    “I would see you happy,” Ratio says, eyes forward. Knuckles white on the umbrella.

    Aventurine turns toward him. The sharp line of his jaw. The waves in his hair. “You don’t know what you seem to think you know.”
    |
    Being loved is a horrible, vulnerable thing. Aventurine wants no part in it.

    Summary

    “Well, now I’m here, doc,” Aventurine says, nonchalantly, as he pushes his shades up the bridge of his nose.

    “I can see it,” he says, his eyes not leaving Aventurine’s.

    “Getting cold feet?” Aventurine asks, ignoring what he perceived as a jab and forcing his lips into a wider smile. “This isn’t your scene, after all.”

    “Quit wasting both of our time. As I said before, we’re already behind schedule,” Ratio says, not even considering his words. “Let’s go.”

    “Oh, c’mon, doc!” he exclaims, tiptoeing to lean over Ratio’s ear, invading his space and laying a hand over Ratio’s chest, “you’ll have to do better than this, if you want anyone to believe we’re dating.”

    “No need to remind me,” Ratio says, catching Aventurine’s stray hand and pushing it away. “I’ll play my part, worry for yourself.”

    -
    or, Ratio and Aventurine pretend to be dating for a mission. Surprisingly, it’s not a complete disaster.

    Summary

    Bets are, by their nature, Veritas Ratio's worst enemies.

    Risking a high value on something that could, most likely, cause irreparable damage is nothing more than madness in the eyes of the mathematician. There is no logic, there is no explanation. Ratio didn't understand the impulse to gamble.

    Coming from Aventurine, it was to be expected that he would try another of his tricks, as it was customary to try to drag him to the table. What I didn't know, however, was that the current bet had no physical value. What was in the game was immaterial, emotional, personal.

    Summary

    “You’re being too loud. Would you like to dance, or not?”

    Despite half his face being covered by his jackal mask, Veritas notices the change in the blonde man’s expression immediately. The way his jaw relaxes and the curve of his mouth shortens into a smaller, more genuine smile. What an expressive face he must have, sparking Veritas’ interest in the man behind the mask.

    “Lead the way, handsome.” Aventurine croons, letting Veritas pull him onto the dance floor.

    Newly inaugurated stoneheart Aventurine is tasked with capturing the enigmatic criminal Dr Ratio, who has his targets set on the IPC. But, this masquerade ball is hiding more than just faces. Aventurine suspects that the mysterious, attractive stranger named Veritas could be the key to succeeding his mission, but in this game of cat and mouse, who is the hunter, and who is the prey?

    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.

    Summary

    Dr. Ratio is given the dubious honor of educating the IPC's corps of navigators, which would be going better if a certain gambler didn't decide to join the class.

    Aventurine's just looking for an easy A. And maybe some D... Mostly some D.

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?

    “Stop shouting at me,” he said, pinching the bridge of his nose. “You’ve only bedded at the end of the relationship, yes? And it ended right after, yes? Then congratulations Kaveh, you’re terrible at sex. You’re so bad at sex that it destroys your relationships and affects your ability to work and pay rent to your roommate whom you freeload off of.”

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t say ‘friends,’ exactly.” was Kaveh’s usual answer when asked of his relationship with the current Acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham. In fact, he had no idea how to define their relationship―they weren’t friends, they were hardly colleagues, and he’d be damned if he let anyone find out he stayed in that man's house.

    As their strenuous relationship begins shifting from bickering roommates to something more intimate, that very relationship becomes all the more ill-defined...

    I.e. Kaveh is a terrible drunk and Alhaitham sucks at communication.

    Summary

    “There are three suitors who you can romance in this game. You must complete all your requirements with one of them."

    “Who are the three potential suitors?” Kaveh asks warily.

    “Your three suitors are Tighnari, the blunt Palace Chamberlain; Cyno, the standoffish Captain of the Royal Guard; and Al-Haitham, the acerbic Duke of Vultur Volans.”

    There's a new invention from the Yae Publishing House that turns a user's dreams into light novel stories. Kaveh has the (un)fortunate pleasure of being one of its first users.

    Too bad it dumped him in a romance game.

    There were few advantages to living with Kaveh. His raucousness, no matter the hour, is not one of them.

    But among those few advantages –

    Alhaitham’s chair creaks as Kaveh props a knee between his legs and climbs slow and careful into his lap.

    – this is a particularly enjoyable one.

    Summary

    Alhaitham tightened his grip on his sword at the mention of his name. Nahida had assured the palace was vacant and that not a soul knew he would be arriving today.

    "Who are you and why are you here." Alhaitham demanded.

    The man's expression did not change. His mouth slightly agape in confusion and suprise. His hands were resting behind his back in a relaxed posture. He did not seem afraid, nor threatened in the slightest. After a heartbeat or two his shoulders slouched down slightly and he steadily replied;

    "My name is Kaveh."

    -

    After numerous assassination attempts Alhaitham is forced to temporarily move. He soon finds that the Palace he believed to be vacant is keeping a man, waiting to be discovered, hostage. A man that could uncover why Alhaitham is incomplete.
