    Summary

    If his eyes could glow, he'd most certainly sell them. Anyone would be a fool not to.

     

    When his information and photo is put onto a black market website with a hefty sum for his head, it is Aventurine himself who takes on the task of infiltrating the market with the intent to either raze it to the ground, or turn it into something profitable for the IPC. Truly, the only entertaining element is that it is Veritas Ratio who must follow him through a swarm of hunters waiting to sink their claws deep into his throat.

    Summary

    "Oh you know, he’s got quite a rough touch."
    “He always had this scary look in his eyes.”
    "He seems to be in a sour mood right now."
    Yet, when he is with Neuvillette... Wriothesley is gentle.

     

    Or, Neuvillette is perplexed as to why Wriothesley, who's known to be intimidating and quite rough, treats him so gently and with so much care.

    Summary

    The first time Aventurine offers to sleep with one Doctor Veritas Ratio, it's supposed to be business as usual.
    In Aventurine’s experience, everyone in the Guild is hungry for praise, happy to have their egos stroked, and if they happen to get their dick wet at the same time, even better.

    Everyone is happy.

    Except, apparently, Ratio, who seems to have missed the memo.
    —-
    Or a handful of times Aventurine and Ratio find themselves sleeping together – literally or figuratively– and a few times they don’t.

    More serious than it sounds.

    Summary

    A bleak look crossed Wriothesley’s face and Neuvillette realized that he was being allowed to see such an expression. Though it caused something unidentifiable in him to ache like a physical pain, Neuvillette was honored to be allowed to see such a rare, fragile thing. “Because it is better to have him in my life in any capacity,” he said, “than not at all.”

    ---

    An outing to see an opera together turns into a discussion of love, of pain, and of doing anything for the one that means everything.

    Summary

    Neuvillette looked as if he wanted to say more, unsure of where to start, but he just shook his head and made to leave. He paused as his fingers curled around the door handle.

    “Why Wriothesley?” he asked.

    Wriothesley shrugged. “It’s a name that better reflects the man I am now.”

    “And who’s that?”

     

    I’m sorry.

     

    He locked his jaw. “Someone who did what the Law couldn’t do.”
