Summary
A single day can take your entire life and spin it off course, sending a ship steering one way an entire new direction all from a storm, or in this case, a chance run in wirh a mermaid. For you, what took this day off course was a single hook embedded in your tail, and from there, everything spiraled.

Summary
Millennia have gone by, and yet not a single creature has found a cure for lovesickness. Xiao is no exception– and worse, difficult as his feelings are already, they are compounded still by jealousy. Xiao knows it– fortunately, you seem blissfully unaware.
Unfortunately for him, Barbatos knows it too, and decides to free his lips with some fine wine. When Xiao’s words tumble loose, you decide it would be alright to be more courageous than him, for once–
–and ask him to stay.
(A kiss, Xiao thinks, is a fine gift to receive on a birthday.)

“Before?”
“Before all… this,” he waves his hand at the room around them, “before the IPC, before Diamond and Jade. You know, before.”
~~
Topaz and Aventurine reflect on their pasts and how they intersected with the IPC.

Summary
He’s going to die on this mission, Aventurine can feel it deep inside his bones. It's a dangerous bargain with a dangerous civilisation, and he'll be lucky if his body remains intact enough to lay him in his grave. How cruel, after he's finally come to terms with his gut-wrenchingly dazzling life.
If only he could just–
“Topaz will be joining you,” Jade says quietly.
What.
Aventurine gets assigned a suicide mission and is invited to have tea with Jade. She reveals something he definitely hadn't wanted to hear.

Summary
In a world where musics and politics are never found without the other, you are the IPC's pride and joy - a violin prodigy known both for your skill and unpredictability. When Penacony, and therefore the Family, are finally seized under the IPC, it is only fitting that their prized pianist, Sunday Oak, is offered to you as an accompanist.
