Summary
Ratio pushes a heavy sigh again, keeping his nose close to his strained mating gland and murmuring vaguely. "Don't you start."
Ah, Aventurine hasn't even started yet. A delicate small smile appears on his face in the reflection, and they both know his next words won't do any good. "Really? How odd. And here I thought you'd notice that scent for sure—after all, I spent quite a long time in the shower thinking about today's meeting."
And if Aventurine hadn't let out a sigh just out of spite when the muscular arm wrapped around his waist in a bruising grip, then the rough feeling of a hand on his neck pressing his marked gland into submission made his knees shake. He meets a furious stare in the reflection. "Don't. You. Start."
Aventurine only gives back a cocky smirk before things start to fall apart.
Sometimes provoking is the best cure, or Aventurine of Stratagems is showing a method how to deal with an (very principal) alpha in rut.

Summary
Aventurine hums. “Calling you 'detective' seems a little too plain. How about…”
The phantom thief chuckles under his breath before slowly holding one hand out. Against Veritas's better judgment, he puts his hand in his. Gloved fingers clasp around him gently, giving him ample time and opportunity to pull back.
He doesn’t. Instead, he thinks about how the fabric is so thin that he can feel a bit of warmth through them. Instead, he thinks about how those fingers are a little smaller than his, slender with a delicate touch. Instead, he thinks about the way Aventurine lifts his hand up to his face and presses it to his mask. Veritas’s knuckles brush over right where his lips would’ve been.
“My darling detective...”
Or: Detective Veritas Ratio is assigned to Phantom Thief Aventurine's case. It turns out he has a penchant for stealing more than just expensive goods.

Summary
When Aventurine enters the hotel room, he nearly screams.
There is a bed right in front of him.
One large bed, that's big enough for two people.
It is the only bed in the entire suite.
Even worse, Ratio doesn’t comment on it at all.

Summary
Aventurine rises to the bait despite the obvious trap she’s laying. “Hmmm, a chance to pester the good doctor? Don’t mind if I do. Anything you want me to dig for? You know, since you’re sending me over to him and all that.”
Topaz flusters. Too predictable. “That’s not what this is!”
“Relax,” Aventurine purrs. “Just tell me. I’ll ask him.”
“Will you be subtle?” Topaz mumbles, hesitant.
“As a sledgehammer.”
“Aventurine!”
In which each person is born with a red string attached to their left pinky. Aventurine's has frayed over the years due to all the hardships he has faced. After meeting Ratio, it begins to heal. It can't be a coincidence, can it?

Summary
“Doctor…”
Ratio briefly snapped his attention to the fellow colleague who called to him, before returning his gaze onto the merman before him: A beautiful creature of the sea, with a long tail of shimmering emerald scales that scintillated an almost hypnotic light and a small, lithe upper body. Long, golden locks flowed, brilliant and looking so soft.

Summary
Beneath the peacock's superficial flashiness was a dusty little bird, feisty and fierce.
Ratio had always known that there was more to Aventurine than his cheeky grin and seductive purrs, but as intimate as their ‘partnership’ might seem, there was always a line that Aventurine never let him cross.
But when a mission leads them to a Sigonian planet, Aventurine is forced to confront someone from his dark past… and Ratio can no longer keep his distance.

Summary
Aventurine doesn’t try to hide the breathy laugh. For a moment, he forgets the new scent in his nostrils and the way his body seems warmer than usual, pulled in by a gravitational force he had only ever thought of but never physically felt.
“You’re in luck, doctor. I’m free for the rest of the evening,” says Aventurine as he stands back and straightens up. “Of course, you’ll owe me one, as the saying goes.”
“I would not expect any less of you, gambler.”
In Penacony, not only are you able to change your appearance, but you can also change your secondary gender. Or, Aventurine experiences what it is like to be an Omega and at the merciful hands of an Alpha.

Summary
Sex meant nothing to Aventurine... but it was a nightmare to someone named Kakavasha, hidden away under walls of amber and coin where no one could ever hurt them again. So far, unfortunately, that no one could find them to be loved again either.
And then one day, a man named Dr. Veritas Ratio appeared.

Summary
Due to a certain mistake, Ratio and Aventurine must swap roles for their next mission. Aventurine will present the Guild's research to the investor, while Ratio... will seduce the target.
Surely, if it's for a mission, even the brusque and sharp-tongued doctor can sweet-talk, right?
Surely, Aventurine can continue to keep his feelings hidden...
... right?

Summary
from: the doctor is in
Are you still waiting for that apology, gambler?
I much prefer these types of notices be served in person.
Orally.Aventurine chokes on his drink. Cheeks scorching red, he rapidly thumbs back up to the picture. And then chokes again.
No, he hadn’t sent an adorable cat to the good doctor whatsoever.
Aventurine, trying to send a picture of a grumpy cat to Ratio while tipsy, accidentally sends an explicit picture of himself. Ratio's reaction is quite the surprise.

Summary
Having been born an omega in Sigonia had not been a bad thing. It was seen as good luck; to have someone able to create life in barren Sigonia. Little Kakavasha had quickly grown out of that mindset, when he saw his people being massacred. Stress and having his first heat forcefully triggered had made him feral, and alphas showing interest at him only made his skin crawl.
Dr. Ratio had been the one exception.

Summary
“Why do you care?” Aventurine fired back, crossing his legs. If he pushed him hard enough, would Ratio’s kind caress turn foul, his nails digging into his flesh?
“I’m no fool,” Ratio’s voice didn’t sway; he stayed calm and collected, “I know a cry for help when I see one.”
“So you pity me?”
“I sympathise with you.”
“I see no difference.”
“Genuine concern should not be this much of a bother to anyone,” Ratio said matter-of-factly, “it’s disheartening to see how foreign of a concept this is for you.”
◇─◇──◇─◇
The five times Aventurine lets his feelings go unsaid, and the one time he says it.

Summary
What Aventurine expects when he opens the attachment is a detailed, alphabetical list of questions pertaining to all sorts of technical matters that are of no interest to Aventurine. What he receives is…
Well, there is no need to mince words. This he can agree with Veritas on, if only on this unique point.
A few texts turns into a classic case of misunderstandings. Or, Ratio accidentally sends a photo to Aventurine and Aventurine, ever the gambler, decides to place a bet.

Summary
They weren’t friends. They weren’t mates. They were barely even co-workers. They were two souls who found each other attractive enough to sate the monthly needs of their secondary gender.
And they were something else. A dynamic he couldn’t voice for fear of losing it.
Or: Aventurine and Ratio have a no-strings-attached arrangement regarding their cycles, but nothing can ever really be that simple.

Summary
“You’re being more amenable than usual,” Ratio says, carefully, warning bells blaring. “Perhaps you should be feverish more often.”
Is Doctor Ratio flirting?
Aventurine should laugh. Any previous thoughts of seeing Doctor Ratio flirt had involved chalk and terrible mathematical pick-up lines. This? Well, it was relatively smooth.
But he doesn’t laugh.
Or, after encountering some strange magic on a mission with Ratio, Aventurine wakes not only with a sister but also the title of "Prince". And apparently he's engaged to Ratio. What luck.

Summary
And then, the unimaginable happens.
Aventurine, his roommate, the man he only occasionally speaks to for more than minutes at a time, leans over in their shared bed, and kisses him. A brief peck, leaving Veritas no time to react and his world spinning.
"Wait." He says firmly, giving his roommate pause. "Why did you do that?"
Aventurine snorts, and his lips twitch like he's trying not to smile. "You told me you love me. You don't remember?"
The air knocks itself out of Veritas' lungs. "I…I what?"
The countdown to one Veritas Ratio telling his roommate that he loves him, and the days after.
