Summary
Aventurine was a beta. His scent was dim, like most betas, present but nearly nonexistent. It was rare for him to have mood swings, which commonly presented themselves before an alpha’s rut and before an omega’s heat.
“Perfect for a gambler,” Jade had complimented as she was filling in official documents for him. He hadn’t bothered to correct her for that detail, thinking it unnecessary, but the truth was—he wasn’t a beta.
Nor an alpha. Nor an omega.
Or, Aventurine can't help but yearn for Ratio's touch when his late presentation comes.

Summary
He was leading a baby duckling to its slaughter.
Agent Ratio has never been one to disobey orders, nor has he ever hidden from the cruel nature of reality. But when he's told to 'take care' of the sole survivor of a shocking Company massacre, he can’t help but wonder…
… Is he… really okay with this?

Summary
For years, Ratio has assured himself that he is happy.
He has spent countless nights reaffirming that the prospect of a lifetime spent alone—basking in the quiet comforts of domestic bliss—is the most suitable path for him. Safe. Predictable. Undisturbed.
It is only fitting that Aventurine of the Stonehearts should be the one to intrude upon his carefully constructed existence and irreversibly change everything.
Veritas Ratio has reached a point in his life where the troublesome urges of his secondary gender no longer affect him, making him the ideal candidate to help the late-presenting omega, Aventurine, navigate the changes in his life. The plan is simple: They will endure Aventurine’s heats together until the new omega's cycle stabilizes.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
Veritas Ratio has been avoiding thinking about certain complexities in his relationship with Aventurine. This has always been the easiest way to do things. Circumstances, however, will force him to confront the reality of their bond, and also to confront, hand in hand with Aventurine, the ghosts of a dead homeland.
or, in which, upon switching bodies, a countdown begins, and there is an abruptly limited amount time left for Veritas Ratio to learn a lot about himself in order to preserve his life.
