Summary
Hallucinations greet Kakavasha in the place of his vision, on the bridge between his mind and his barren optic nerves. Visual and strange, like daytime dreams with no tether to the appearance of reality. Kakavasha sees his own face in these visions, abstract and inhuman. He sees his big sister, standing far in the distance from him, crouched on the ground but smearing away in an array of brand new colors that never existed when he was sighted.
What if Aventurine really did sell his eyes?
A canon divergent story that focuses on Aventurine through the events leading up to Penacony, his mission, and the bittersweet aftermath... and falling in love with his colleague, Dr. Ratio.

Summary
Famed treasure hunter and pilot, Aventurine, crash-lands on a deserted island. Injured and exhausted, he only survives the ordeal thanks to the aid of the island's only resident: an oddly eloquent sea monster calling himself 'Veritas'.
In exchange, Veritas insists that Aventurine becomes his mate. Curious and quickly growing fond of this creature, Aventurine agrees to the proposal.
Except, does he really know what he's getting into...?

Summary
Aventurine is very good at his job, but it's not all games and bets; there's a lot of prep work that goes into everything he does. Of course, that can be fun too when your job is more about working people than working with people, you know?
Just another Aventurine-typical day at an IPC-typical office, involving emails, bribery, blackmail, reports, cookies, gossip, and, of course, a small wager.

Summary
Jelena becomes Topaz six and a half months before Aventurine joins the Cornerstones. She tries really hard to like him.
She fails.
--
Aventurine looks up from his artful sprawl and says, “Good morning, Topaz! How's my favorite Cornerstone today?”She bites back on her instinctive response that his favorite Cornerstone is undoubtedly himself, and she forces a polite little nod instead. “Morning. Nice work on the Green Isle job,” she says and it tastes bitter on her tongue. “Any trouble?”
“Not a bit,” he says, grinning at her. “Went just according to plan. Isn’t it nice when nothing goes wrong?”
“Yeah,” she says, trying very hard to be blank. “Good for you. Good luck on the next one.”
“Thanks,” he says as Numby jumps on his lap. “I always appreciate luck; it’s what carries me through!”

Summary
A single stroke of luck puts Aventurine in place to execute a long-held plan and he doesn't hesitate to go all in.
--
His phone makes a shrill chirrup and he sits upright, scrambles for it, and tears through the multilayer security as fast as he can. The mark is talking to him, but he ignores them entirely; tonight took a lot of planning but if this is what he thinks it is, then none of that matters a good goddamn anymore. This is it, this is his chance, this is everything he ever hoped for, if only he's lucky enough to win it.
