    Summary

    “Did you know kissing someone else’s wound helps them feel better?”

    Dan Heng almost choked on the piece of bread he was eating before March 7th said anything, staring at him with her big, innocent eyes.

    “Kissing is just lips against skin, I don’t think-”

    “I don’t care about the scientific aspect of all that. It’s the meaning that counts. You need to kiss it better. Remember what I said.”

    Or: 3 times Dan Heng kissed Caelus to make him feel better and 1 time Caelus returned the favour.

    Summary

    Caelus groaned once it finally dawned on him, face falling into his hands, pretending to ignore how different his face felt. “What happened?” He heard his own voice ask, cloth shuffling and the metal bed frame just barely creaking under what sounded like swift movement. “Herta.” Was all he said in explanation.

    “Herta? What does–... Oh.” Dan Heng sighed, exasperated.

    Caelus sighed as well, hands falling back down to his sides as he lifted his head, seeing the other sitting at the edge of the bed, socked feet placed on the ground, yet seeming almost hesitant to try to get up.

    ~ OR ~

    Caelus and Dan Heng research a curio at Herta's request, only for them to wake up in the wrong bodies the following morning.

    Summary

    Pt. 2 of The Unveiling of a Dying Star

    Ratio stopped in the hallway, far down it, as if tucking himself away from the people who bled out from the ballroom. His back faced Aventurine, dimly lit by the lights, and Aventurine briefly had to wonder if this was a nightmare. If he approached Ratio now, would he attack him? Try to hurt him like he had in previous dreams? Or would he do it on his own volition?
    The doctor dipped his head back, sipping directly from a bottle of something, and when he turned, shooting Aventurine a glance, the gambler realized a couple of things:
    Ratio was drinking his favorite drink. His hair had gotten longer. There were bags under his eyes and hair fallen over his face that he made no effort to fix.
    Aventurine stepped closer to him, appropriate.. Conversation length, and instead of smelling of human being – attractive, masculine, yet equally domestic smelling of cashmere and cotton.. He smelt of booze.
    Holy fuck, said his worry-brain. I broke the guy.

    Summary

    Ratio turned to him with a hand placed on the doorframe. Now, he was the one choosing between protection and truth. Thankfully, there was a third option: marriage of the two. “I’ll miss your company when we have to move to another planet.”

    He left out the part where he had started to buy lemon scented candles for Aventurine’s bedroom, which he otherwise hated. He left out the part where he made sure his bookshelf would arrive when Aventurine was home so the two could spend time together, even if it was something as mundane as the organization of literature. He left out the part where he ensured there were always apples in his kitchen now, as that seemed to be the only thing Aventurine ate for breakfast. He left out the part where he nearly crashed into an old Edo Star native in his rush to collect Aventurine from the bar. He left out the dreams, the thoughts, and everything else that mattered.

    Maybe that was a bad choice. But it felt like the right one - the two are often opposites.

    //

    In which Aventurine and Dr. Ratio's schedules frequently align in a way that is constantly putting them both on the same planet, for better or for worse. And Ratio is NOT hopelessly in love.
