    Summary

    As he walked among the other — legit — students, he couldn’t help but notice how easy it seemed to pretend to fit in, to be one of these many desperate students losing nights over an exam instead of a high-stake gamble.

    “Ah! Scholar King, bless us!” a crying voice caught his attention. The Scholar King.

    It took a moment for Aventurine to remember why that epithet sounded familiar, and when it did, he couldn’t help the chuckle escaping his lips.

    Blessed Gaiathra, he was sure Ratio hated this tradition.

    -
    or, Aventurine pretends to be a student to attend one of Ratio's classes.

    Summary

    'The Veritas Syndrome' is a new research paper, currently drafted by Dr. Ratio. He believed that through affirmations, positive feedback and education, people who suffered severely from substance abuse or low self-esteem could better their lives. Under the right circumstances, that should have worked quickly on anybody...

    But the Aventurine of Stratagems was different. He was a wild card, a Gambler and a buffoon by any standard. He'd avoided their meetings at first, showed up under the influence, and even dared to confront Ratio with a gun, all in an attempt to scare him out of Jade's contract. However, something shifts between them.
    The Avgin man's demeanour slowly improves until one day he makes the Doctor an offer he cannot resist.

    Summary

    One day, Topaz comes in with a white-haired girl tagging along behind her, and the first thing Aventurine says is, “there’s no way you could have had a kid since the last time I saw you.”

    aka, the one where Aventurine is finally sort-of settling into his 'new' life, except there are café shenanigans, (kinda?)lovers'-tiffs, a child who needs him, maybe a little bit more trauma to unpack, and a whole two-persons' worth of memories for him to sift through - not necessarily in that order.

    ~~~

    A collection of stories covering Aventurine's life after, and sometimes 'before', the events in Strangers in the Night.
