Summary
Of all people, he never expected that Ratio would be the one to finally show him compassion. A world where somebody cares for him ceased to exist. It died a long time ago along with his sister. Aventurine’s palms clench into fists. A violent shudder wracks through his entire body. Who asked for this? He doesn’t need to nurture hopes that only know how to crush. His bet both played and lost at the same time.
Another moment passes before he realizes that the fabric against his cheek is damp.
The Stoneheart of the IPC is crying.Ratio learns something he shouldn't have about Aventurine's contract with the IPC, and offers simple human comfort.

Summary
“Welcome to Dreamscape Sales Store! Dr. Edward at your service!” a disembodied posh voice says as the giant eye fixes on Ratio. “What kind of dream would you like to experience today? We sell only the best quality dreams and memories.”
“I am craving something sweet. A friend recommended I come here to try something Sigonian,” Ratio says, referencing the message he’d received.

Or due to Sparkle’s meddling, Ratio ends up buying a memory bubble, the existence of which Aventurine would rather forget about. Neither of them is very happy about it.Bookmarked by alavarinr

Summary
Aventurine pressed a finger to his ear. “Is our guy here yet?”
His earpiece buzzed. “Asking again won’t cause him to arrive faster,” phoned Ratio in an impatient tone. “Why can’t you enjoy gambling on someone else’s dime for a minute or two?”
“Open bar’s calling my name, Owl.” Aventurine lowered his indoor sunglasses to peek at the bar across dozens of tables stretched the distance of the gambling hall. “Fitting reward for a mission well-done.”
The IPC tracks down a wanted arms dealer and poker addict in Edo Star. There’s only one man, rotten with luck, fit for the job of capturing him.

Summary
The Ten Stonehearts of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department aren't all that close - at least, not according to the Pier Point rumour mill or interastral tabloids. Emotional connections between them would only be a weakness in their... riskier transactions, so it works out nicely that the best thing you can really say about any of their relationships is that they're professional and cordial.
And those who might say differently rarely get a chance to tell the tale.Series

Summary
It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.
A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.
The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.
… And the deeper his emotions become.
