the ruin of fortunate men by veritasol
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)

Summary
After Penacony, everyone assumes Aventurine is fine.
After all, he survived.
He always survives.
The problem is that surviving has started to feel less like a miracle and more like an obligation, and Aventurine is discovering that there is a difference between wanting to live and simply continuing to do so.
Unfortunately, Veritas Ratio is paying attention.
Or:
The luckiest man alive has stopped caring quite as much whether he remains that way.
Ratio notices.

Summary
When he looks down, he's met with the sight of Aventurine looking up at him, pupils blown wide and tongue darting out to wet his lips. "We could play a little," the absolute vixen whispers. "Please?"
Ratio doesn't answer immediately. Instead, he tips his head back to stare at the roof, traces the subtle patterns there as he fights to think beyond anything that isn't libido-induced recklessness. Technically, they aren't working right this moment. They're dressed plainly, and they blend in with the crowd of city residents and tourists alike. Nobody seems to be paying any attention to them — and if anyone has looked their way, it must have been brief.
Heart pounding in his ears, Ratio lowers his head and can't quite meet Aventurine's eyes when he breathes out — "Alright."
While waiting for Business Matters TM to resume, Ratio and Aventurine go sight-seeing. ... but Aventurine decides, instead, he wants to torment Ratio today.

"It is too close... You are too close, Sir Flins. Your touch... it isn't cooling the symptoms. It's making the sensation reach too deep-I can... manage the heat.

immediately."Flins came closer than ever and

And now that atleast more than half a day His rational thoughts were automatically turning irrational - At any moment. he would break"Young Master Illuga, Please find it in your heart to forgive me, I wish I could avoid this but you left me with no other choice, This is for your own good"

Strangers in the Night by veris_militude (semblanceoflife)
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
28 Jul 2024

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
It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.
A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.
The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.
… And the deeper his emotions become.

Summary
Aventurine leans against the balcony railing, gold city light catching against the rings on his fingers. “You know,” he says, “most people would’ve requested a different room by now.”
Dr. Ratio looks up from his datapad just long enough to meet his eyes. “Most people,” he replies calmly, “are less tolerable than you.”
For a second, Aventurine forgets how to answer.
Ratio notices that too.
Dr. Ratio and Aventurine are sent by the IPC to Somnus-V, a planet whose economy runs on traded memories and emotion. As they navigate the upper district’s political elite, the two find themselves being constantly monitored in a society built around emotional vulnerability and psychological control. Meanwhile, Aventurine’s growing feelings for Ratio begin complicating a mission that was supposed to remain strictly professional.

“Aren’t you going to go and mingle?” Wonweek’s voice cuts into Sunday’s consciousness, tickling his ear.

There’s only one place Rerir is going. There’s only one, exact thing that Flins’ heart could lead Rerir directly to.
Illuga.

A Ratnik's Guide to Rest and Relaxation by viomins
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)
02 Jun 2026
Tags
Summary
Illuga has two modes: working until he collapses, and feeling guilty about not working enough to collapse. He’s spent a lot of years perfecting those and running from his demons. He was gonna do that until the day he died and everything was gonna be fine. Really.
Until the gods threw a wrench into his plans.
Now, he needs a few new modes: resting (nightmarish), being taken care of (actual hell), and maybe not running from himself (absolutely unacceptable).
Flins thinks this will be good for him. Illuga thinks Flins is lucky he’s cute, because this is all his damn fault.

all the pieces still lead back to you by EenieMeenieMayniMo
Fandoms: 原神 | Genshin Impact (Video Game)

Summary
Illuga is split into four. Not metaphorically and not emotionally. Literally. Torn apart by an ancient mirror into fragments of himself, each carrying something he could never fully express.
Each one is a piece he tried to hide.
The anger.
The fear.
The softness.
The love.
Especially the love.
As Lumine and the others race to find him, things spiral fast—fights break out, emotions explode, and the truth Illuga never wanted anyone to hear is said out loud by someone who looks exactly like him.Series

Summary
So, he rolls the dice.
“You caused this, you know,” Aventurine raises the stakes to the ceiling, baits the player with a card he would not have shown if it weren’t for how desperate he was. He’s a lucky man; Ratio is steeled in his spot, unable to look away. “Won’t you take responsibility of me, doctor?”
Ratio swallows. "I did this to you?”
“Nobody else,” He sighs, beckoning him with a single motion. Ratio is right where he wants him—hook, line, and sinker. “Aren’t you special, inducing an omega’s heat without lifting a finger.”
Aventurine had never felt much like an omega, disconnected from the mere notion when there were other pressing matters at hand. It stuns him, of course, when the dormant animal finally begins to speak—in the middle of kissing one handsome doctor.
(Perhaps it's because he lacks the knowledge of what other factors can affect an omega’s heat, that he throws himself straight into one.)
