Summary
When Thanatos falls in love with the kingdom's trouble-making crown prince, he is not expecting it will amount to anything more than a passing infatuation. He is also not expecting to be made the prince's bodyguard, and he is certainly not expecting the prince will ever love him back.
Thanatos, it transpires, is wrong about many things.

Summary
How dare Phainon claim Mydei didn’t understand romance.
A faint memory of Phainon guffawing at him from atop the roof of a shop appears in his mind; his sapphire eyes twinkling with mirth and stray beams of sunshine caught in them, the way his cheeks turned a soft pink while his silver hair gently swayed with the breeze, reflecting the golden of the sun-
“What’s wrong, my romantically-illiterate prince? Can’t catch me?”
No, Mydei had to prove this imbecile wrong. And he shall do so by courting him, and when Phainon would realise, at the end of it all, that he had actually pulled it off, Mydei would be the one laughing at his face instead.
Or the five times Mydei tries to 'understand romance' by courting Phainon and fails, and the one time he succeeds.

Summary
"Firstly, she didn't state that we both needed consorts," Wise started, waving his hand around as he found some twine in his drawers. "In fact, she said 'consort'. So if we take that literally, which we will, that means this decree is only applicable for one potential partner." He hummed when he found what he needed, and he started rolling up his letter. "Secondly, she never specified who's hand."
Lighter listened intently, but after Wise finished speaking, it only took a few seconds for realisation to set in. When it did, it was quickly followed by utter disbelief.
”You didn’t…”
Wise gazed at him from under his silvery lashes, and despite his smile, his eyes remained firm and steadfast, like the high and low tides of the ocean; coming and going as nature intended.
"No wonder Her Majesty was so angry with you." Lighter shook his head, brows pinched in equal parts exasperation and frustration. "You're planning on staking your own hand in marriage."
---
Due to circumstances, Wise has been forced to offer his hand in marriage in a tournament. Lighter is vehemently against this arrangement; more so than he really should. And he doesn't know why.

"How did it get there?" Wise questioned aloud. "It wasn't there before." He traced his fingertips along the edge of the rose petals, as if he were manually mapping out routes on the soft, supple surface like he would a Carrot. He looked over at the other customers, but they all their backs were turned to him, either perusing the shelves or talking with their companions. "Did you see anything?" He turned back to Lighter.
Lighter opened his mouth but after a few seconds, snapped his jaw shut. "Don't think I did, no." He shrugged.
"But why?" Wise stared at the rose, as if it could tell him exactly who placed it next to him.
Once again, Lighter shrugged, but something sparkled in his verdant green eyes as he tilted his head to look directly at Wise, his sunglasses slipping a fraction off his nose.
"Maybe someone just really likes you," Lighter grinned, flashing his canines.

Summary
“I do.” The words tumble out of Lighter.
Inside, he wonders if this was what death really had in store for him. If so, maybe he would welcome it with open arms.
The officiant says some legal jargon that falls onto deaf ears as Wise mouths silently an “I love you,”, but visible enough so the words echo in Lighter’s brain, Wise's eyes sparkling. Lighter is lost for words. His mind registers the “you may now kiss” before Wise is closing the gap, looking at Lighter with such reverence that Lighter’s heart feels like it’s altogether stopped beating.
Even if this was a dream, it wouldn’t hurt to indulge, would it?
Or
Lighter encounters an Ethereal that delves into his desires, and gods, are the illusions tempting.

“Prove it.”
Kaveh paused. Slowly, he turned around. “What?”
“Prove that you won’t fall in love.”
Kaveh tilted his head. “And how do you suggest I do that?”
“Date me,” said Al-Haitham. “Prove to me that you won’t fall in love.”
Kaveh keeps getting broken up with and is on the verge of giving up on love when Al-Haitham propositions him.

Summary
People enter Al-Haitham’s life, and then they leave. That is just the way it is: first it was his parents, and then it was his grandmother, and soon enough, it will be Kaveh. He's already set to have a future that other people could only dream of brushing with their fingers.
There are much greater things than Al-Haitham in Kaveh's destiny.
Sometimes all it takes is ten years.

Summary
“... Only if you want to.”
… Unfortunately for Al-Haitham, Kaveh’s face twisted into a pout is more persuasive than it really should be.
“Fine. But if you don’t remember in the morning, you aren’t allowed to start an argument.”
“How could I start an argument about something I’d forgotten?”
“You would find a way,” Al-Haitham replies, and Kaveh just huffs, crosses his arms, and shuts up. “Tell me what to write in this letter, then.”

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
Alhaitham steps closer, looking at Kaveh with an odd look in his eyes. He’s never seen it before.
“Did you mean it?” He asks, his words slower this time. “That you love me?”
“You–” Kaveh furrows his eyebrows, at a loss. “Were you even listening to me this whole time?”
“Kaveh, please.”
Alhaitham and Kaveh's relationship is supposed to move slowly. Yet, when Kaveh breaks down and Alhaitham takes care him, Kaveh accidentally blurts out "I love you" much too early.

Summary
Aventurine stops dead in his tracks, forcing Veritas to do the same; his smile, though intact, strains at the edges, and his mind reels internally. “For someone who’s accusing me of an overactive imagination, you sure like to send mixed signals. At this rate, you might as well send my poor heart on cardiac arrest, doctor.”
“If you’re capable of throwing jokes, then you’re clearly in far better health than your dramatics suggest.” Veritas says, unamused. “But to assure you, I’m heading home. We’re going the same direction, so why not walk together?”
In which Aventurine works night shift at his local coffee shop and can't seem to wrap his mind around as to why Veritas waits for him after work to walk home together.

Summary
Whatever Ratio had drunk, it must have been strong for him to be acting like this. “Yeah, Doc, it’s time you go to sleep-”
“I love you.”
Aventurine’s head whipped back into place to face Ratio. Those words couldn’t be real. Not coming out of Ratio’s mouth, and not directed towards Aventurine. He needed confirmation. He needed confirmation that this was real, he wasn’t dreaming, he wasn’t insane, he was here, he was real and that actually happened. Because not even in his wildest dreams would something as impossible as this occur. Desperately, Aventurine seized Ratio’s arms which were loosening around him as he looked to him for validation.
Aventurine stared at him in horror.
Ratio was passed out.
◇─◇──◇─◇
A drunk Ratio admits he loves Aventurine. Only Aventurine remembers the confession by the next morning.

Summary
Penacony storyline, with the addition of everything that happened between Ratio and Aventurine which we weren't told. Canon-compliant.
"Of course out of all people, you had to have a big dick. But that doesn't count since it's proportional."
Ratio raised an eyebrow at that, "Size isn't proportional with your height nor weight."
Aventurine smirked before groaning, and Ratio felt like he walked right into a trap. "I am not talking about height nor weight, doctor. I am simply saying that it's most of the time proportional to your personality."
Aventurine laughed out loud at Ratio's stare, feeling proud of the doctor's dumbfounded expression. Ratio sighed in defeat, "Well done gambler, ten points. However, if I were you, I would think twice about biting the hand thatfingersfeeds you."Bookmarked by semiara
