A Study on the Revival of Kremnoan Roses: Botany, Symbolism, and Best Practices by lumeenary
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
15 Feb 2026

Summary
“You’re distracted, Deliverer,” Mydei mutters. Despite saying this, he isn’t pulling any punches today.
The silence between them becomes stiff, and Phainon needs to occupy his hands with something, anything. “I’m in the middle of… researching something,” he says.
Mydei hums. “With the Grove?”
Phainon feels sort-of-bad-sort-of-not for obfuscating the truth: one because it’s Mydei, and the other because the matter is about him confessing to Mydei, you see. He pulls a face. “You could say that.”
Kremnoan Roses aren't real. Probably. Phainon is about ninety-nine percent sure. But after coming across an antique Kremnoan vase, Phainon swears that if he, by some miracle, manages to recreates them, he will confess to Mydei with a bouquet of mythical roses.

inside you'll stay (closer than my own heart) by SilverSanctuary

Summary
Deep in his chest, he howls for the affection, the regard of the most brilliant man in the universe, the press of his hand on a poor Sigonian thrall's forehead — wants that and more, much much more — every crumb that Ratio might be willing to spare — a touch, a kiss, a lifetime — Aventurine would gobble it up, starving and gluttonous —
Or, Ratio takes care of Aventurine when he falls sick. His actions might speak louder than words.

Summary
As one befitting of the name Veritas, the doctor loathed to lie, especially to himself. When he comes to the realisation that he feels an emotional attraction to the only alpha whose scent he likes, the only thing stopping him from confessing is: a sexual crisis, a deep loathing of being seen as vulnerable and a poorly-timed rut.

Summary
For a God, there are worse fates in the world than death. Taking this to heart, Aventurine plunges downwards from the Heavens straight into the Underworld, home to its enigmatic ruler, Veritas Ratio, to bargain for freedom on his own terms.
Unexpectedly, he gets much more than that.

Summary
“It’s lifesize. I take great care in the precision of the details of my being.”
“Such as the details of your biceps and abs. Very modest,” Aventurine says. He takes the opportunity to step further into the studio as Ratio pulls off his apron, his attention now on the completed statues at the side.

Summary
“I’ve heard,” Asovan says, pleasantly, “that Aventurine of Stratagems is often assigned to clients who prefer concessions of a personal nature.”
Veritas’s jaw hardens. So it’s to be one of those.
(During negotiation, a client forces Ratio to watch him and Aventurine have sex. Jealousy's a bitch, and not helped by how Aventurine doesn't seem to care about that part of his job at all. He cares so little, in fact, that it wouldn't have to mean anything at all if he slept with Ratio, right?)

Summary
There are things that Aventurine will never admit.
He’ll never admit that he loves the way Ratio talks. Low, firm, and always right. How words sit on his tongue. How his mouth gives them shape. Truth and knowledge made real.
He'll never admit how he ached to press himself against his broad chest, where that soft, warm heart of his laid. How he wants to hear his pulse and the way it shakes.
He'll never admit how handsome he thinks Ratio is. The dark, wavy locks...the dawn colored eyes...the sharp angles of his face.
He'll never admit that he loves Ratio.
Aventurine tells himself he won't fall in love. He falls into Dr. Ratio's arms, anyway.

A cure for what ails you by SarunoHadaki for decay

Summary
“If I had asked for commentary, I would have invited you over.”
“That’s on you for giving me your spare key.”
Even without looking, Ratio saw the patronising smirk on Aventurine’s lips. Yes, that was indeed Ratio’s fault, chalked up to a lapse in his judgement. Now here Aventurine was, flouncing around the apartment like an esteemed guest and not a cockroach Ratio would love to squash underneath one of his gilded sandals. Aventurine liked to come by sometimes to gawp at all of Ratio’s unfinished work and make moronic reflections of how impressive everything looked, never managing to sound genuine in his delivery.
He’d come by more frequently as of late due to his loneliness and utter lack of other social connections with which to waste his time on. “So you’re still alive,” he’d say, then toss himself into the giant bouclé armchair in the corner, shrinking him down to ant-size.
Or: Aventurine comes to visit and helps Ratio let off some steam.

Rus In Urbe [To Our Quiet Moments] by Saunne for Havanillas

Summary
(I want him to stay, to belong. I want him to carve a place for himself in my home as he carved a place for himself in my heart. I want him to belong to me, for me to belong to him, for us to belong to each other.)
The trembling sigh that escaped him seemed almost too loud in its indelicacy, impolite in the roughness of that almost spat-out exhalation. Veritas' feather tufts, more decorative than truly functional, fluttered atop his head at the sound, drawing the scholar from his reading. Aventurine soon found himself subjected to Ratio's piercing gaze, the doctor taking the time to blink softly once before turning the entirety of his unwavering focus on Aventurine's curled up form, slumped a few feet away from him.
"Is something the matter, dear gambler ?"
Aventurine couldn't help his chuckle, soft and surprised, laced with mirth and a disbelief so fond it tasted almost sickeningly sweet.
“No, Veritas, nothing to worry about,” he replied, the syllables rolling off his tongue with the round sweetness of those aniseed candies that Ratio enjoyed nibbling. “Just realized something.”

Veritas Ratio is not a religious man. The only higher being he believes in is his own intellect. Despite all evidence claiming that it’s futile, he still prays that he’ll survive his encounter with a very drunk Aventurine.

Tapestry of Desire by decay for BlueWolves
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
29 Nov 2024
Tags
Summary
Ratio, for one, has felt nothing short of raw affection that envelops him so completely it threatens to knock him breathless. As he and Aventurine grew accustomed to their new soulmate bond, there were several times when Aventurine would freeze and stare incredulously at the typical, stoic expression on Ratio’s face contrasting with the swell of unabashed love rising in his chest at the smallest things. The way the first rays of dawn filter through the bedroom blinds and shimmer brightly in Aventurine’s eyes as he opens them and smiles instinctively when Ratio is the first thing he sees. The little sigh of contentment when Aventurine takes the first sip of the coffee Ratio brewed in the morning, made just the way he knows Aventurine likes it. The glint of their matching rings, and the clinking sound it makes against the tablet when Aventurine takes it and proceeds to rattle off commands to his subordinates, calculations running through his mind behind his usual smile that only Ratio is privy to.
He is lucky - they are both lucky.

Summary
Ratio clicked his tongue in annoyance, “I hardly think that is a fair score.” Ratio said, narrowing his eyes at the blasted thing. “Perhaps not 100, I will admit to that much at the very least, but have I not fulfilled all missions to the letter? Seen this role to its final conclusion?”
The way it jumped daringly down to 55 was pointed and entirely uncalled for.
