    Summary

    While the Astral Express is grounded on Astropolis for lengthy repairs, the crew find ways to keep themselves busy and earn a little extra cash. As a professional dominant, Sunday finds no shortage of IPC executives who want to give up control for a little while, and are willing to pay well for the privilege. He's very good at maintaining professional boundaries, and he's never once gotten attached.

    Turns out there's an exception to every rule, and for Sunday, that exception is Aventurine of Strategems.

    Summary

    Aventurine thinks he is visiting Ratio’s home. Ratio thinks he is avoiding admitting he still has one.

    By the end of the week, after a broken translator, too many relatives, and a homecoming years overdue, both of them have to revise the definition: home is not the planet, the house, or the family table.

    It is the person who sees you and stays.

    Summary

    I am just a piece of someone that is long gone.
    He began to breathe heavily.
    I am just an empty shell meant to house someone else's mind.
    Tears started rolling down his face. His head fell, as he completely broke.
    I was never a real person.

    Veritas finds out he's a fragment of Zandar One Kuwabara and his entire life spirals from there.

    Summary

    In a clandestine underworld where supernatural beings live right under the noses of humans, the Stoneheart Surveillance Society, better known as the SSS, is a branch of the International Peace Corporation (IPC) tasked with maintaining the secrecy of their existence at any cost, a duty which earns them both admiration and ire from the population alike. Jade is a centuries-old witch whose silver tongue is rivalled only by her skill in potion making. Topaz, a young werewolf without a pack to call her own, is a newly initiated Stoneheart, praised for her fierce loyalties and resourcefulness. Trouble never lurks far from the SSS, who navigate the depths of mysteries, dangers, and injustices to maintain the peace.
    _______
    A vengeful figure who once crossed paths with Jade kidnaps Topaz.

    Summary

    After unexpectedly losing both his job and his home, Aventurine has every intention of finding a new apartment before anyone discovers how far he's fallen.

    Being recruited by an overgrown cat with questionable decision-making skills was... unexpected.

    Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately), Dr. Ratio insists on grading everything—including prospective roommates.

    Summary

    “Don’t you ever feel…” His lips invade the space between them, brushing all sweet and reverent. Words heavy on the tongue, bloodied shoulder stinging with want.

    “…Like what?” Words dissolve against his mouth, waiting to taste the confession.

    “Mm, like…” Bottomless pupils shiver with a devoid hue. As if aching for something to corrupt.

    Should he ruin the doctor too? Like everyone else…?

    “…something’s missing.”

    —

    Years pass until a blinking, almost human, distress signal is detected deep within the surface of Lepismat. A signal from none other than Doctor Asad Rowan’s intercom, the doomed scholar believed to have perished on an expedition to develop a Swarm disease vaccination. Against all odds, clinging to life.

    Doctor Veritas Ratio, a longtime friend and colleague on the abandoned project, is left dumbfounded. How could his friend be alive after all these years? The only way to discover the truth, it seems, was to go down into the depths of ruin himself.

    …With the IPC’s most daring chip, Aventurine of Stratagems.

    For good fortune, of course.

    Summary

    "The speed at which your mind has to work to do such a thing, the very shape of your brain must be different."

    The awe in Ratio's tone sends Aventurine hiding behind his bangs with a defensive snort. From here, Ratio takes note of the hitch of Aventurine's shoulders, the tenseness of his grip on his glass. "Professor, I saw a Xianzhou martial artist snatching mung beans out of the air the other day on my reels. It's not that impressive. Plenty of human-shaped things can do what I did tonight."

    "On the contrary. Those are individuals in an otherwise mundane species, and are rare even among the elite. This would be an evolutionary design specific to Sigonian biology, or perhaps even further into the Avgins." Ratio leans in, completely serious, ready to lecture as always when he sees it. Aventurine's whole body has stiffened. His drink trembles in his left hand, and his cards sit on the table forgotten. He won't look at Ratio.

    Ratio's words die, his train of thought derailed.

    ‐----‐------
    In which Ratio realizes that Aventurine's Sigonian biology might be a little more complicated than he originally assumed. A fic where I explore evolutionary dimorphism since hoyo won't.

    Summary

    Ratio shifts forward. “If there is something I can do to assist you, Aventurine, then I will try my best to—”

    “I need you to marry me.”

    To escape a bureaucratic shitstorm brought on by his less-than-complete onboarding paperwork, Aventurine comes to Ratio with a proposal: stay married for a period of two years, then get an easy, quickie divorce once Aventurine's residency status is secure.

    Only, it's not enough for them to simply get married; the marriage has to look legitimate too. Which is fine. Aventurine can act the part. Except, he's not really acting. Not anymore. And this last-minute trip to visit Ratio's family in Bumfuck Nowhere, Veritas Prime as Ratio's newly minted fiancé is threatening to prove it.

    Summary

    Like so many things, it had seemed like a good idea at the time. When Aventurine was invited to teach a class for Paperfold University, he had let himself be intrigued, even a little flattered. The self-made Avgin without any formal education, invited to speak to a classroom full of impressionable young Fortune Academy students.

    But what he hadn't counted on was his TA. Fortune Academy's top student had been assigned to be his assistant for the semester, helping him grade essays and passing out papers in class. Sunday Oak did all this and more without complaint, a polite but indifferent expression on his stupidly handsome face.

    Summary

    In a weird way, he feels as though he’s conned Aventurine, because if Aventurine knew the truth - that Veritas is horribly and unceasingly attracted to him - he would never have approached him with this proposition.

    But he doesn’t know, and now Veritas has to pretend that he’s ever had a romantic relationship before. He would say that it can’t be that hard - billions of people have had successful romantic relationships without prior research or experience - but Veritas is keenly aware that he is not like even billions of other people.

    Aventurine approaches Veritas with a teensy, tiny proposition - that they pretend to be a couple for the sake of Aventurine's reputation on his newest Harmony-worshipping planetary aquisiton.

    Summary

    Aventurine has spent centuries in fae lord Diamond's manor, resigned to his fate as one of many living trophies. His life is simple, but nowhere near easy: be quiet, look pretty, and do whatever his captor tells him to do. But tensions are rising elsewhere in the fae realm as Qlipoth's court begins to covet Xipe's, leading to fae lord Gopher Wood and his heir Sunday coming to the manor to negotiate a compromise that will please both parties.

    What starts as just another job for Aventurine quickly spirals into something completely out of his hands as Sunday's interest in him drags him directly into the affairs of the very realm that had destroyed his home and ruined his life, and now he must find a way to keep himself alive - preferably before his blood is spilled over the marble floors of Diamond's manor.

    Summary

    Caelus clears his throat, wills himself for patience, and then straightens. “What has Aventurine done now, and why do you need my help specifically?”

    “The gambler —” Ratio reaches into his breast pocket, “has clearly riled the wrong people and is now languishing in a casino.”

    “…is that…not…normal for Aventurine…”

    “Not when he is being offered as the ‘grand prize’, no.” Ratio hands a dark piece of card to Caelus, who turns it over to read.

    Poker Tournament. Grand prize: the last remaining Agvin - in mostly excellent condition. Raise the stakes, and play well!

    Aventurine has gotten himself into rather the situation...

    Summary

    He lashed outward with his bible and the demon caught his arm. “Still going to fight me I see, shame.” He leaned in closer, its mask a breath away from Ratio’s face. “I’d hate to ruin such a handsome face.”

    His heart stopped for a second and he stumbled backwards, catching himself on his back step so he didn’t fall over. “Begone, demon! You aren’t welcome here!” He cast a spell outward, tossing his holy chalk at the beast.

    But it crashed with something vaguely spade shaped, as if a shield had materialized itself just in time to block him. “Tisk tisk, so~ stubborn. No matter, I know just how to break men like you.”

     

    Or
    Priest Ratio has caught the eye of the powerful demon, Aventurine.

    Summary

    After the Trailblaze Mission ends and Amphoreus finally becomes real, Phainon vanishes.
    Not by chance. Not by choice.
    The Lord Ravagers take him, remake him, and strip away everything that once defined him.
    Memories, identity, heart.
    They forge him into Nanook’s perfect creation: a Ravager with no past to return to and no one left to remember.

    But Mydei remembers.
    He boards the Astral Express not to chase miracles or adventures, but to search for the one person he refuses to lose again.
    Across worlds and disasters, he follows the faintest signs of Phainon, only to face a truth sharper than any blade:
    the man he loves now stands on the other side of the cosmos, hollow-eyed and loyal to destruction itself.

    And yet—somewhere behind that cold, rewritten face, Mydei swears a familiar warmth still lingers, fragile and buried, waiting to be found.

    A story of memory, devotion, and the relentless belief that even gods cannot sever a bond forged across countless cycles.

    Summary

    The Astropolis side plot for Aventurine and Robin is coming soon. But what if it’s not a side plot? What if it just so happens to be… the main plot?!

    Aventurine is mildly dismayed to find that his long-awaited holiday is anything but. It seems that the Strategic Investment Department is keen to take the chance to increase their soft power and image by having Aventurine play at being an idol. Less than enthusiastic, Aventurine is still prepared to take on the challenge like the professional he is, whilst keeping an eye on the whispers of something more about to happen in the Epsilon system. Whilst he would have appreciated it if his colleagues hadn’t made the whole thing a surprise, he’ll still take the gamble. What’s life without a few games and some risk, after all?

    Chapter 3: “So?” Veritas Ratio snapped his book shut, the sound loud in the room, empty save for the two people his words were directed to. His cool gaze fell upon them, voice neither irritated nor excited, merely peppered with quiet notes of curiosity. “You’d better have a good reason for calling me here, gambler.”

    Summary

    "It isn't worth it," Aventurine tells him. "I promise you, it isn't."

    Ratio takes a step forward, then a second when Aventurine doesn't back away. He's gentle. His fingers are warm when he reaches for Aventurine's face, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. "Did you think I didn't know you were a mess until now?"

    The IPC sends Aventurine on vacation. He knows he shouldn't, knows they're nothing to each other, but rather than go alone, he invites Ratio to come with him.

    Summary

    For all Ratio tried to say he didn't believe in Aventurine's luck, he was hanging on to it like a prayer. He would surely be found alive inside the rubble, or perhaps he conveniently stepped outside the embassy before the bombs went off. Maybe his shuttle hadn't even made it to Xin-41 after all, and he was currently crash-landed on some distant moon, awaiting rescue.

    His eyes were red and dry when, hours later, they finally released the definitive list of victims.

    Aventurine of the Ten Stonehearts, P46

    Wherein Aventurine dies, kind of, and Ratio is living his worst nightmare.

    Summary

    In this universe, a mark blooms for the person you're fated, if you're fated to meet at all. With such a vast cosmos, less than 10% of the recorded population has a soulmark - most are encounters that never fully bloom, faces going past the billions among planets, star systems, whole galaxies.

    A mark only appears once fate's already decided two people are going to meet - soulmates, guaranteed, long before they actually cross paths. From there, each of them carries whatever the other feels most intensely, with nothing else to go on.

    Ratio's had his mark for years, and by now can nearly set his watch by how often it goes off. Aventurine's had his for just as long, and has never let himself wonder for more than a few seconds who might be stuck with him.
