    Summary

    Ratio slipped his arms around Aventurine, pulling him close. He leaned down so he could bury his head in the crook of his neck, the cold skin a stark contrast to the warmth he was so used to. A second passed before Aventurine reciprocated. It was only now, when Ratio couldn’t see him, that he felt trembling hands embrace him back, and those lips stuck in a sly smile began to fall as he was pressed against his shoulder.

    “Do not thank me for anything,” Ratio mumbled, “I failed.”

    “Whatever you say, Veritas,” Aventurine responded. It was muffled, but he could still hear the bitter chuckle that came afterwards.

    When they pulled away, Ratio pretended not to notice the damp stain on his shoulder.

    -------------------------------------------

    After failing to secure Penacony for the IPC, Aventurine is sentenced to death. Ratio manages to secure a visit with him the night before his death day.

    Even if his dearest gambler keeps on dying.

    Summary

    “My dear doctor—”

    Aventurine says this with the gravitas of an opera villain, waving his hands for emphasis as he points directly at Ratio.

    “—you’re going to betray me to The Family.”

    When Aventurine and Dr Veritas Ratio find themselves at the centre of the mystery of Penacony, they discover that their personal goals, and rising mutual attraction, aren't all that dissimilar. (Alternatively, Aventurine and Dr. Ratio fight, fuck, and figure out what they mean to each other against the backdrop of the Penacony storyline. 2.1 spoilers.)

    Summary

    Kaveh prides himself on being a loyal individual. He's loyal to his career as an architect, even if his debts make him wonder why he bothers with the low cuts he earns from his commissions. He's loyal to his friends, always willing to show up when they need him. He's even loyal to his no good, down right awful, boyfriend. Well, ex-boyfriend. A bad breakup, news of cheating, and a night of drinking leads to revenge being served.

    Too bad he didn't realize that his one-night stand was about to be his boss for the foreseeable future. Surely this won't come back to bite him later, right?
