Summary
“Ratio?” he asks, stepping a bit closer. “It’s me, Aventurine. Are you… do you want to go home?”
At the mention of his name, Ratio stills, a light startle in his step as he turns to face Aventurine. He drops his hands, lacing them back together in front of him. He looks dazed, normal intensity lost from his eyes as they open glassy and vacant. They flex wide with recognition, but he doesn’t say anything.
Ratio goes quiet, and Aventurine doesn't know what to do.

Summary
“Math?” And a published academic journal, at that?
“Yes.” Ratio returns the book to his bag, carrying on, but Aventurine’s stuck on the fact that this is apparently what he does in his free time outside of composing music.
“…I thought you were a pianist.”
“I am a pianist.”
“But– math?” Even Aventurine doesn’t spend that much time thinking about math, and he spends twelve hours a day staring at financial models.
“Does it not occur to you that it's possible to have more than one interest?”
Aventurine lives the same week on repeat: eighty hours of his soul-sucking high finance job, then two nights of dancing off the stress to the beat of his favorite anonymous DJ. His move into a luxury apartment building brings him next door to Ratio, an esteemed classical composer with a love for piano. Eager to make a good impression, Aventurine keeps his clubbing habit under wraps — but he’s not the only one hiding secrets under strobe lights.

Summary
In his early days as a slave, Aventurine was subjected to neuro-reprogramming that, when activated, makes him mindlessly obedient. Thankfully, the program was scrapped, and it’s been over a decade since he’s even seen someone who knows the key phrase – but Aventurine’s luck runs out while he’s crashing Ratio’s vacation.
Naturally, Ratio is not content to let some bottom feeding slaver make off with one of his few friends. Offering further assistance, however, leads to unforeseen consequences - because as Ratio begins researching Aventurine’s condition and searching for a way to free him from it, their feelings for one another begin to change. But Ratio is all too aware of the ethical issues of being involved with a patient, especially one who has given him so much power over their mind . . . and as for Aventurine, Ratio is the one person he can't risk losing.

Waiting, waiting... gosh this is so good! The characterisations are so acurate, yet so fun ><. Even the side characters feel so real that the story would read as that much more empty without them

Summary
He poured himself a glass of wine. Just one. Maybe he’d swipe a bit, amuse himself, feel better.
Instead, he got more annoyed. One man sent him four messages in a row before he even replied. Another addressed him as “my chocolate prince.” Affogato very nearly threw his phone across the room.
And then, something caught his eye, a username.
DarkCacao. It was also the name of the nickname, which he tilted his head at, the nicknames he saw so far on other profiles were… something. It was a name with zero flair, no puns, no sugar metaphors. Just a sleek profile: minimalistic, no age listed, only a few pictures that seemed to blur more than they revealed. But the messages? They were…
*Good evening. I hope this message finds you well. Your profile suggests you have both taste and purpose—a rare pairing."
Affogato blinked. He read it twice. No unsolicited pictures. No pet names. Just… manners.
.
.
.
.Or, Affogato's attempts at making a life for himself outside his home country don't go the way he planned. Turns out the city life is harder than it looks, even for a man with his charm and intellect. His life is changed by a dating app.

Summary
For years, Ratio has assured himself that he is happy.
He has spent countless nights reaffirming that the prospect of a lifetime spent alone—basking in the quiet comforts of domestic bliss—is the most suitable path for him. Safe. Predictable. Undisturbed.
It is only fitting that Aventurine of the Stonehearts should be the one to intrude upon his carefully constructed existence and irreversibly change everything.
Veritas Ratio has reached a point in his life where the troublesome urges of his secondary gender no longer affect him, making him the ideal candidate to help the late-presenting omega, Aventurine, navigate the changes in his life. The plan is simple: They will endure Aventurine’s heats together until the new omega's cycle stabilizes.
What could possibly go wrong?

Bookmarker's Notes
I bring a, “Ratio can be read as a metaphor for the female experience of time (the biological clock, the 2010’s wave of feminism ’legacy’, the family game)” that the author probably wasn’t intending to write but added a whole other layer to this onion of a story. Especially given the context of Ratio’s age. This truly was a joy to read, I did genuinely squeal every time it updated.

Summary
The Fount of Knowledge stood above mortal needs. Pristine and pure, as perfectly as he was baked.
Yet, the mysterious arrival of a healer, too kind, too close. It sparked something within him. Affection and obsession are entwined in his mind. That most intoxicating poison, his most precious Healer Cookie. Even his most devoted follower can do nothing but join his fall.

Summary
Sometimes there's nothing to do but wait and hope.
In a situation such as the one Fontaine is facing, it is necessary to triage, to prioritize. The people of Fontaine need clean water, unspoiled food, shelter that will not collapse on them in the night, and they need these things immediately. Exports may not be restored for months.
It is only logical that exports of medicine made from a variant of Beryl Conch to treat a condition found in less than one in ten thousand people will be low on the list of priorities.
Even if that medicine is the only barrier between Alhaitham and a gradual slide into death.

Summary
Kaveh,If you’re reading this, then I am probably dead, although there is a small chance I am in prison instead. To your right, you will find several important documents. I have given you power of attorney and funds for a legal defense, if necessary. My last will and testament is also attached. Essentially, I have left everything to you.
I love you. Please mourn me for an appropriate period of time, then find a way to be happy.

Summary
Their faces are very close now. They’re both huffing, winded from the run. When Kaveh exhales, Al-Haitham can smell the mint gum he always liked to chew.
“I hate you,” Kaveh spits, but he doesn’t move away.
“I know.” Al-Haitham brings a hand up to his face. He pauses before he wipes away a tear.
Kaveh’s trembling. “You ruined me."
Al-Haitham exhales, slow and shuddery. “I know.”
Kaveh closes his eyes— “I hate that you left me.”
—and Al-Haitham kisses him.
After four long years, Al-Haitham finally returns to the idol industry.

Summary
“Before I even start, let me ask—just in the extremely unlikely case that I may happen to be misunderstanding the situation, here—have you finally found other living arrangements?” Kaveh’s voice cracks and comes out small when he replies.
“Um… while I am still—”
“It’s a very simple question, Kaveh: yes or no.” Kaveh blanches.
“…No.”
“Fantastic. I was just wondering if you would be around to help me with a task I have been meaning to carry out for a while now that has suddenly become essential to your continued presence in my home. Any wild guesses as to what it might be?” Nervousness gets the better of him and Kaveh squirms and laughs. Al Haitham narrows his eyes at him, clearly finding the situation unfunny.
“Well, I uh—”
“Decluttering.” The way he spits the word out, sharp and scathing, has Kaveh wincing back into his chair. Ok. Clearly, someone is a little upset.Bookmarked by SleeplessPJs

Summary
There was nothing left to eat. He didn’t have the funds to buy anything anyway. He had to earn the money first before he could have a meal. So it was best to just pick up the pencil and keep working.
The smell of curry wafts in from just beyond Kaveh's locked bedroom door.(aka PampapaaBoom commented "Just imagine Kaveh being spoonfed by Haitham while covered in a soft blanket all because he hasn't eaten in the past 20 hours" and I turned it into angst)

Summary
Will has always been drawn to the macabre. The proverbial flame upon which he has burnt his fragile moth’s wings time and time again, it’s why he had fallen in love with Florence and why he alone seems to see the beauty in the grisly but exquisite work of Il Mostro.
But when he meets a young man in the Uffizi Gallery whose sketchbook is filled with nothing but page upon page of intricate renditions of the Primavera drawn in reverent strokes of pencil, he realizes he may not be alone in his fascination with the Monster. As they lift veils and scale forts and slowly begin to understand each other, Will gets a taste of exactly how bright the cinders of intrigue can burn—and how quickly they can kindle into an inferno of obsession.

Summary
On October 18th, 2019, Yuuri Katsuki finds himself at the first Grand Prix Event of his newly minted senior division debut, surrounded by the elite skaters he has adored since his preteen years. Unyielding and hungry for victory, he manages to podium, but not without consequence. Disappointed and wounded by his idol’s cruel choice of words, he sets out to prove himself worthy of the win, suffering through countless competitions and insecurities as he becomes a recognizable name in the world of figure skating.
On that same day, twenty one year old Viktor Nikiforov met his match. Two miles deep in the closet and fed up with the Russian skating federation’s suspicious behavior in regards to that fact, he notices a distinct shift take place within himself. Feeling bitter about the results of an unjust judging panel, Nikiforov takes his frustrations out on the bright eyed newbie.
…Aka; the modern day rivals to lovers fic you didn’t know you needed!
