Summary
It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.
A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.
The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.
… And the deeper his emotions become.

Summary
At 9:48 pm system time, a classified weapon was detonated beneath Pier Point. Among the missing employees are a team leader of the Marketing Development Department… and a senior manager of the Strategic Investment Department.
As the brightest mind of the Intelligentsia Guild, Ratio is asked to assist with the investigation. It’s a high-stakes case and the departments are competing to present their version of events to the Board of Directors. Buried beneath the political feud, the growing body count, and the scars of an intricate scheme, Ratio must find the truth.
But can he do that, when the person who was closest to the blast, the person who is now missing, and might be missing forever… was also the one and only person he could rely on in his weakest moments?
Without Aventurine… can he even stay sane…?

Summary
“Why does it not–” Kaveh’s voice ripped out in a whine. “Have you not thought about it at all since then?”
A long pause. The longest one yet. “Who says I haven’t?”
Lightning flashed through the window, illuminating Al-Haitham’s face. Half of it was still wrapped in shadow, blocked by Kaveh’s head, but he could see the distance between them measured, laid flat by the light. The lightning went. The room went dark. But the memory of Al-Haitham’s wide eyes did not leave him.
What did he want?
“Have you?” asked Kaveh.
“Have you?” Al-Haitham’s voice was so quiet, buried under the murmur of the rain.
Kaveh swallowed. “I mean…I thought that was obvious.”
Kaveh accidentally sleeps with Al-Haitham. And then...keeps sleeping with him.

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
"My name is Kaveh!" The attractive blond yells. “We live together in my reality!”
The man is more delusional than Alhaitham had originally thought. Under normal circumstances, it would truly be best to bring the troubled Sumerian to the Bimarstan so he can get the help he needs. But something about the blond causes Alhaitham to pause and regard him curiously.
Oh, well. His Fatui duties can wait; Alhaitham can spare a moment or two to listen to Kaveh's ramblings.
Alhaitham, a fatuus, captures Kaveh, a man who claims to be his roommate from another reality.

Architectural Integrity by MrAlcazarzaray (SpadeNoir)

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?

Summary
When Kaveh discovers that Alhaitham has been reading a book about human sexuality and kinks, he generously offers to assist Alhaitham with some sexual exploration. It’s a risky proposal, and one that could end very badly—thanks to their falling-out years ago, the two of them have trust issues galore.
But it turns out that Kaveh and Alhaitham are surprisingly good at trust and communication when it comes to sex…which raises some questions about the nature of their relationship, and where exactly this whole experiment is leading them.
“Look,” Kaveh says, “if you’re going to approach sexual pleasure like an experiment, most potential partners won’t take too kindly to the idea of you having sex with them for science. Therefore, to spare all the poor people you’d inevitably insult in your quest for data, I am willing to be that person.”
“How charitable of you,” Alhaitham says.
“And I assume that you’re somewhat comfortable with the idea of having sex with me,” Kaveh adds, “or else you wouldn’t have been so willing to have my fingers in your mouth just now.”

Summary
It’s the anniversary of Alhaitham’s grandmother’s death, and Kaveh wakes extra early to prepare food and other necessities his roommate can bring when he goes to visit her grave. In the four years that they’ve lived together, Kaveh easily picked up this practice from the very first time Alhaitham advised he’ll be gone for the whole day, expressing he wishes to be undisturbed, so Kaveh shouldn’t come looking for him even if their house is on fire.

Summary
"A dozen Fatui researchers are dying to get ahold of you," says Alhaitham. "The only reason you're safe in my bed, instead of being dissected on an operating table, is because I declared that you're under my protection."
He yanks on Kaveh's hair. "Don't make me regret it."
Or, Kaveh is captured by Alhaitham, a member of the Fatui.

Summary
“We can find any carving or painting that is to your preference,” he says, nuzzling the omega’s cheek affectionately. “But it’s going to be from my money.”
The reddish tint adorning his visage is still as prominent, “Is that a promise for a date, then?”
“Affirmative,”
“…a date outside the palace, right?”
A tiny, subtle smile presents itself on the alpha’s lips, “That can be arranged.”
“Okay,” Kaveh nods his head, trying to veil his enthusiasm, “I think I’d like that.”
In which a war prize Kaveh is determined to make his marriage work.

Summary
Alhaitham and Kaveh had forgotten what they once knew so well about each other, how truly they could see their own reflection. They spend a night stripping away distortions and defenses, determined to see each other clearly again.
"You frequently seem to hear cruelty or derision in my words that I haven’t put there. So much so that even when I am deliberately trying to be kind to you or express my affection, you react to it as if I’ve insulted you.”
Kaveh’s heart was pounding, he felt like the rug had been pulled out from under him, though not in an entirely unpleasant way. Alhaitham's affection…?
It was so hard to know what to do now, how to react, when he had never expected to talk like this with Alhaitham again.

Summary
A month ago, Kaveh appeared, disrupting Alhaitham’s quiet life and became his roommate. In less than a week, Kaveh left the house in anger. When he returned, it was the night of Alhaitham’s birthday. A year later, Alhaitham will celebrate his birthday again. This is a story that takes place within the span of a year and a few months. A story where Kaveh finds a grandmother’s unfinished wish, completes it for her grandson, and finds love again.
“It was my birthday.” Haitham replied, pouring more coffee into his cup to the halfway mark.“You bought yourself a cake?” Kaveh said, touching his mouth suddenly. He remembered how it tasted - that cake - all honey and richness, the slight fragrant crunch of pistachios still lingering in his mouth like a faint dream. “You did not eat it…”
Happy Birthday, Alhaitham!
