    Summary

    "Now. Must I remediate basic survival instincts, as well? Stand up or get shot."

    Aventurine doesn't understand half of those words, but it doesn't matter. The gun speaks clearly enough.

    Kakavasha's riskiest gamble pays off, and he is hired by the Interastral Peace Corporation as Aventurine. A second chance at life, if he can survive it.

    Without a Synesthesia Beacon, every conversation is a puzzle, a bluff. The new Stoneheart has learned to fake fluency in the IPC's language, Universalis, the same way he learned everything else: through observation and context, by slipping through the cracks with charm and deception.

    That is, until Dr. Ratio cares enough to scrutinize him, and refuses to look away.

    Summary

    Veritas Ratio wakes up one day with another version of him standing over him. His surprise, however, is overshadowed by the fact that this version of Ratio made it into the Genius Society.

    Summary

    Then Aventurine raises his head and, with a taunting smile, asks: “Why? Afraid of something, Ratio?” He pitches his voice up, breathy with mock excitement. “Am I your first?”

    “No and no.” Veritas closes his eyes in an impressive show of patience. “If you could be transparent for one second, convince me that you are truly and completely on board with—“

    “Am I not always transparent?” Aventurine laughs as he pushes away the hands on him. “Exacting as always, doctor. Fine then. You have full permission to fuck me. In fact, I’d be in your debt — how does that sound?”

    Ratio and Aventurine are trapped in a box with only one way out.

    Zhongli forgot his wallet.

    It is a shame that, as per Snezhnayan etiquette, Ajax was going to pay for the two of them anyway.

    Debts are always good for business.

    Summary

    “Could you tell me exactly what is troubling you?”

    Aventurine makes a vague gesture. “Bad dreams. You’re probably familiar with it.”

    “The touch of the Nihility affects everyone differently. Until I know your exact symptoms, I won’t be able to treat you.”

    Aventurine closes his eyes, for a moment, and opens them. “Old memories,” he says, finally. “A lot sharper than they should be. Like I’m really there, watching it happen.”

    (After Penacony, Aventurine's been having some bad dreams. He starts seeing a Doctor of Chaos about it. Ratio gets roped in to help. Aventurine's not happy about any of it; and anyway, it's all pointless, isn't it?)

    Summary

    Harry finds himself in the liminal space between Martinaise and actually having to be Harry Du Bois again. He needs to return to his apartment, and his job, and his life, but the prospect is terrifying; everything that was once him is everything he can't allow himself to be ever again. Kim helps him make the transition, and Harry pines wildly over him. They eat food and talk about the homo-sexual underground. Harry tries not to cry a lot.

    Summary

    Finally, Ratio exhales. He steps closer to Aventurine. “I will please you. You will sit there and enjoy it. No trying to please me or get me off. You will simply be still and feel what I give you, until you lose yourself in it." Ratio's voice drops lower, his breath catches. "I want to see you come undone, Gambler."

    OR: Aventurine treats sex as a performance. Ratio only wants the real thing.

    Summary

    Kaveh and Alhaitham aren’t friends now, not anymore, but old habits are hard to quit. Somehow, on quiet evenings like this, they keep slipping under each other’s skin.

    “Kaveh.”

    Kaveh holds very still. His mouth is dry, but he quells the urge to lick his lips for fear of catching the taste of Alhaitham’s skin.

    Instead, he looks at Alhaitham, seeing the tension of his clenched jaw, the tint pinkening his cheeks. His eyes rise so their gazes meet, and Kaveh sees a question there. Understands the context of this touch, the finger at his mouth, the firm thigh nudging tight against his own.

    “It’s only sex,” Alhaitham had said, the first time they had relapsed in the sun-yellow kitchen.

    Summary

    Kaveh is most dangerous at night, in the dark. He’s most dangerous when Al-Haitham is at his most human, sleep-worn and drowsy state, with his headpiece turned off for the day and laying across the room on his dresser and his ears left defenseless to Kaveh’s crooning.

    Kaveh keeps coming into Al-Haitham's room when he's drunk and Al-Haitham is at his limit

    “Good gods, who did this to you?”

    One of the cat ears on Al-Haitham’s head flicks. Kaveh experiences sudden, whirling vertigo. It moves. The cat ear moves on its own.

    “Did what?”

    “What is going on?” Kaveh wails, clutching his head. “Why— why are you a cat?!”

    Al-Haitham does not even blink.

    “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

    Al-Haitham opens a package from Komaniya Express.

    Summary

    I love you, Kaveh thought, and vaguely noticed a shooting star in the sky.
    I wish that I could forget you.

    Kaveh wants the pain from his (apparently) unrequited love for Alhaitham to go away. Accidentally, his wish comes true.

    “You would’ve never called me Acting Grand Sage and meant it. Perhaps sarcastically, or mockingly, but never… never what you’re doing now. Like that’s all you see me as.”

    Alhaitham mourns someone who is still alive.

    Animated version of this story is now up on Youtube here!

    Summary

    Alhaitham was never one to appreciate the finer arts of life.

    He had always been one to focus on the pursuit of knowledge instead. However, even he understood that there was an ephemerality to Kaveh’s beauty, almost akin to a bright, illuminating star hanging high above the sky. It sparkles, glimmers and dazzles – the unattainable light bleeding through the cracks of his fingers.

    Alhaitham’s truth is a story embedded deep within him and it is a tale he will never share with the Light of Kshahrewar.

    Summary

    Sinbad’s first coherent thought is one that he’s had far too often for someone still alive and breathing.

     

    Ja’far is going to kill him.

     

    ----

    Ja'far cleans up after his former king, his best friend- the only person left in this miserable world who understood him. Waiting for Sinbad's eventual return provides ample time to think over every mistake, every conversation they never had, and all the words they needed to say. It also, leaves time to close all loose ends.

    In other words, Ja'far, after losing Sinbad and all that comes with.
