    Summary

    An odd flower falls out from the envelope when Flins turns it in his hands. Small seeds with tiny feathered tufts scatter across the pages of the file he had been reading.

    Are all Ratniki as mysterious as you?

    Flins rereads these words in Varka's near-incomprehensible scribble. He hears them in Varka's voice. He sees Varka's smile. Feeling his mouth curl upwards in spite of himself, Flins wonders when Varka will tire of asking questions to which he already knows the answers.

    After a run-in with Flins at the lighthouse, Varka suggests they write letters to each other to stay in touch. Their friendship grows into something much larger than either of them had initially imagined.

    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.

    - Alhaitham

    Summary

    “You have no experience with romance!” Kaveh stammered, “Or even friendship, for that matter!”
    Alhaitham raised an extremely incredulous eyebrow. “I had been labouring under the impression that we were at least friends, but please feel free to correct this misunderstanding of mine.”
    Kaveh gaped. “That’s not what I meant and you know that!” he exclaimed, crossing his arms, “I just... you... it’s nothing like you!”
    Alhaitham chuckled, oddly amused by this turn of events. “That’s why it’s called fiction, Kaveh.”

    The newest installment of his favourite light novel series had just released, and Kaveh can't stop talking about it. Alhaitham does not know how to feel about this turn of events.

    Or- Alhaitham moonlights as a famous light novel author.

    Summary

    “Why’d you call me a gambler?”

    Ratio’s head tilts again. His face doesn’t move much. But Aventurine swears he sees the shadow of something like amusement in his features—wry and private, like he’s smiling at a joke no one else heard.

    “I can hear it,” Ratio says.

    “Hear what?”

    “Every time you shift your weight,” Ratio responds, voice low, “there’s a coin in your coat or pants pocket. It strikes against the lining three times—once when you move, twice when you stop. It’s weighted. Slightly larger than standard-issue credits. Smooth edge. It doesn’t roll.”

    Aventurine stares.

    Ratio lifts his chin. “It is not a commemorative token. It is not a medallion. It’s the kind used in high-stakes tables. Heavy enough to flip with flair, thick enough to stack without slippage. You gamble. Or you want people to think you do.”

    A beat.

    Aventurine’s mouth goes a little slack. His tongue clicks against the roof of it, dry. “You heard that?”

    “I hear everything,”

    Aventurine laughs, but it’s shaky, breathless. “You're unnerving, you know that?”

    “I get that frequently.”
