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
“You smell like heat, Tartaglia.”
Childe swallows. Yes. As much as he has tried to deny it, ever since that first night he started to feel himself burning up aboard the ship bound for Snezhnaya… it is still inevitable. He looks The Knave in the eye, and says defiantly, “I do.”
Or, after the Fontaine story quest, while recovering on a ship bound for Snezhnaya, Childe's rut starts to coalesce. However, there is a secret that he hasn't told anyone since his time in Liyue, and it finally catches up to him.

Summary
“Ah,” Aventurine said, rubbing his arm, “so that’s why they had us refresh all our vaccinations before this trip. We’re not in any danger of falling ill, are we? I’d hate to ruin such a nice vacation.”
“It’s unclear,” Ratio said. Aventurine side-eyed him, looking less relaxed now. But if those folktales had any merit to them at all, “more likely, no.”
They were approaching the town now, inclined turquoise shingles peeking out over the edges of the treeline. It seemed like every building here was overgrown with flowers—flowers burst from the vines on white stucco walls, bouquets hung from the bucket-laden stalls at every corner, and almost all the windows were decorated with boxes abundant with blooms.
“It’s beautiful, but,” he grimaced, voicing Ratio’s thoughts aloud, “a little morbid, isn’t it?”
To a scientist, mythology and fairy tales are simply veneers that warp and obscure the truth. And to a doctor, diseases are problems that can be solved with logic rather than love.

Summary
Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.
Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.
Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.
Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.
AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

Summary
“You need to understand that I was out of options,” Zhongli quietly said. “I would never do such a thing without your consent if it wasn’t the only way I could imagine saving your life without endangering anyone else’s.”
Childe didn’t reply for a moment, reluctantly deflating from an attacking position. He was still pissed, that much was true, but he needed to know what his situation was. What sort of contract could have possibly tied him to Zhongli that wouldn’t make him a deserter? What sort of bond they could have made that Tsaritsa wouldn’t dare to challenge? Unless…
The realisation dawned at him with a horrible thud of his heart, at the same time as Zhongli said it out loud, finalising Childe’s fate. “That being said… I initiated an adeptal marriage contract between us.”
Childe would have laughed until he choked if he didn’t have the most violent urge to cry.
Or, saving Childe's life, Zhongli accidentally gets him into an adeptal marriage, which has very interesting consequences for Childe and his still broken heart.
