    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.

    Summary

    This is a soft lil thing that's not very plot driven, but I love it lots. i don't think there's any trigger warnings besides brief descriptions of panic attacks. If there's anything I need to add pls lmk :)

    "It’s a minute or an hour later when Neil recognizes the tap tap of Andrew’s fingers questioning on his hip. He nods, and then a weight is over his waist and pulls him close. He feels Andrew’s nose brush his neck.
    In the hazy half-sleep, half-awake state he’s in, Neil might say something stupid, like:
    “Don’t let this end, ‘Drew,”
    And Andrew might say something stupid back, like:
    “We won’t.”

    Summary

    Gideon tries not to think too much these days. She wants to focus on fighting this war, not the weird side effects of perfect Lyctorhood or the fact that Harrow can barely seem to be in the same room with her or that everyone keeps treating her like a bomb about to go off. It's going pretty well, if you ask her. Until she gets herself hurt protecting her useless necro, again, and Harrow's reaction does not fill her with warm, fuzzy feelings.
