Summary
“Have you ever heard the story of Orpheus and Eurydice?”
Aventurine looks up from where he’s testing the critter’s motor functions by waving a stick with a feather attached by a string. One of the critters swats at it, and another eyes it in preparation. “Can’t say I have. I’m all ears, though.”
aventurine, ratio, and the sea of nihility.

Summary
He had been going through emails, idly checking for any important updates in the stock market or school events that piqued his interest. Generally, he keeps a clean email. Every morning, Reo will check his inbox for anything important or pressing. Once a week, he’ll organize and save or delete every non-time sensitive email. He always makes sure to uncheck the ‘subscribe’ box on news websites that want to send him copious amounts of spam mail, but an occasional article slips through regardless every so often.
Editor’s Digest: Did you know…
Before he can click the trashcan icon without hesitation, his eyes catch on the text below.
Humans often get sleepy around the people they feel safe with. We’re not so different from cats, right? Studies show…
The words make a home in the back of his head immediately.

Summary
Is this where she falls? Was she born to fly, only to plummet? Was her brother right to keep that dove in a cage, forever?

Summary
“Oh? Is life not the most valuable chip on the board?” Avenutrine is still standing so close to him, head tilted upwards to meet his gaze. His hands remain clasped innocently behind his back. His smile has not moved an inch since he started, yet a bead of sweat drips down his neck. Each observation conflicts with the other, painting this man in an enigma of emotions.
Ratio narrows his eyes. His body is stiff with frustration that leaks into his voice. “Life is invaluable. It isn’t something to risk to make a point.”
or: the events of penacony, told from the perspective of one dr. veritas ratio.

Instructional Drama: Caring for Your Hugo by lieshues (redheads_maid)

Summary
Hugo burns—elegantly, of course—but even elegance trembles under instinct. And Lycaon, ever the sentinel, remains at his side: calm, capable, endlessly attuned to the rhythms of Hugo’s needs. As the heat takes hold, and again when it fades, there are hands to steady, fur to bury into, and silence that says I am here more clearly than any vow.
There is tenderness in care, devotion in the ritual, and a gentle kind of love in the way Lycaon has learned to act out every role Hugo silently casts for him—servant, knight, pillow and the most genuine act, his mate.

Summary
"I think we can be nice to each other now," Nagi says. Reo keeps his gaze fixed on the wall. "We're good now, right? It's been long enough."
Long enough for what? For Nagi to stop being listless? For Reo to forget what it felt like to kiss Nagi between classes in high school? Some things will never change no matter how much time passes, and he wants to say so, but he makes the mistake of looking over and there's an odd glint in Nagi's eyes and all Reo can do is go limp and murmur, "If you really want to, Nagi."
He's weak to Nagi. That's something that won't change either, he supposes.
(Five times Nagi almost works his way back into Reo's life after their breakup, and one time he succeeds.)
