    Summary

    This is a gift work written for the Fate&Fortune 2025 Halloween Flash Exchange. (=`ω´=)

    It was meant to be simple; retrieve ancient data from Veritas Prime’s forgotten academy before demolition.

    But nothing about Aventurine is simple.

    Not the way he walks into Ratio’s office after hours.
    Not the laughter that follows them into the dark.
    Not the fear Ratio refuses to name.
     
    Ghosts are easy.

    Learning someone might stay? That’s harder.

    Ratio calls it field research.
    Aventurine calls it a date.
    (Only one of them is wrong.)

    Summary

    “Aren’t you dating Dr. Ratio? Is it true that he’s a total weirdo?”

    "We're not dating. It's… complicated."

    March blinks, quiet for a split second before firing off at the speed of light again. “Oh, I know this one! You’re in a situationship!”

    Aventurine's hit with the IPC's lightest slap on the wrist after his actions in Penacony: an excursion onboard the Astral Express. It's nothing he wants to deal with, but he ends up finding an unexpected friend in March– and a little more with Ratio.

    Summary

    "What's the game, then, Doctor? What do I need to do to get out of here?"
    "I'm afraid I'm not actually on your side. As a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, you've made yourself my enemy with what you did on Egyhazo."
    The prisoner's eyes sparkle with sudden enthusiasm. "Did you believe it?"
    "Believe what?"
    "My ruse."
    "Of course not," Veritas scoffs.

    In the aftermath of the Intelligentsia Guild and IPC's fumble in Egyhazo, a new Stoneheart rises to prominence. Veritas hesitates to believe that this "Aventurine" intends to make good on his promise of 'mutually beneficial collaboration.'

    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.
