Summary
And what is Aventurine even going to say? Hey, doc, it’s me? Your annoying little coworker? I know you’re the happiest you’ll ever be but do you fancy coming back to reality so I can see you again? If Ratio isn’t even able to convince himself that he’s in a dream, how is Aventurine?

Summary
“Never?” He repeated.
“What? Does that surprise you, Doc?”
Ratio tried to process everything, Aventurine just pulled the stem off of the cherry like it meant nothing, then it placed it between his teeth. “It’s not that groundbreaking, is it? I mean,” His eyes watched as it kept poking between his lips, before he continued. “If I just do it for work, then who really cares if I finish or not.”
“But Gambler,” He could feel himself get grey hairs because of him, “You do it all the time. For work.”
Aventurine shrugged, “I don't think I'm missing out much. Like, don't get me wrong. I’ve gotten close a few times but why waste my own time, yaknow?” Right as he finished speaking Aventurine spit the tied cherry stem into his martini glass. “I wouldn't want it becoming a bad habit now, would I.”
Or; Dr. Ratio helps Aventurine have an orgasm.

Summary
‘ “Nicky and I met during the crusades,” Joe started, “and when we did, we killed each other - many times,” he echoed the words she’d first heard spoken by Nicky. With his gentle, lilting tone, she was reminded of her father reading fairytales to her and almost expected a ‘once upon a time’ to pass through his lips, “For seven days and seven nights we crossed blades. By day seven our swords were essentially useless - we were grappling and trying to kill one another with our barehands when-,” his eyes met hers briefly then darted away, “-when my hands found a rock hidden just beneath the sand.” ‘
—
Joe should have known it was too good to be true when Nicky sprang up so quickly after Keane put his gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. They’d never been that lucky before.

Summary
Nicolò knew male omegas were a rare sight. Regularly plagued by heats, but unable to bear children, they were regarded as an abomination by the Church. Something made by the Devil Himself to tempt the first man with. A mockery of God’s creation, carefully crafted to trick Adam into sowing his seed into barren soil.

Summary
“You weren’t there,” Hugo said quietly. A single sentence that carried all the hurt, all the pain, all the heartbreak. “You weren’t there, Lycaon.”
When I needed you the most, said the tremble in Hugo’s voice.
Lycaon could almost hear the crack between them again. He’d thought, perhaps foolishly, that they’d patched it up; clumsily mended what they once had, enough to pretend things were as they used to be. But the wounds of their separation were still there, raw and unhealed, hurting them both.
“I know,” Lycaon said at last. Because what else could he say? He couldn’t rewrite the past. The damage had already been done. Apologies now would only feel hollow, maybe even insulting. He couldn’t bring himself to mock Hugo’s pain with half-hearted comfort. “I know, Hugo."
For that, I am sorry, said Lycaon’s outstretched, untouched hands.

They both know; no single apology, nor fleeting words, were ever enough to bridge the chasm between them.

Summary
Ratio knew what happened on Sigonia-IV. A terrible thing, he had thought at the time, as the Interastral Peace Broadcast played in the background — as he grabbed another piece of paper and filled it with variables and differentials. But now — he couldn't stop thinking about their haunting encounter in the kitchen, the way the gambler's eyes had glowed in the dark, the wild laughter —
He needed to understand.
Or, Ratio gets a better glimpse at Aventurine's trauma and does the very logical thing of cultivating empathy through extensive research.

Summary
“That’s the fate of a gem, is it not?” Aventurine held up his hand, showing off the shining sapphire bracelet that was wrapped around his left wrist. “The more people that use them, the less value they have. They end up scratched and dull and chipped. They’re supposed to be accessories to enhance somebody else’s life; it’s one of the first things I had to understand when I joined the Stonehearts. Nobody wants to get married to a diamond. It’s just the status symbol.”

Though they've been dating for weeks, Aventurine refuses to let Ratio reciprocate, and it's definitely not related to his self esteem issues.Bookmarked by turtlenecksandsweaters

Summary
"I don't know what you mean, doctor. Surely, you've had more liquor than-,"
"Everything about you is fake. You have no idea who you actually are, do you?" Ratio leaned forward with a scathing expression as he spat, “You don’t care that you’re hurting yourself, because there isn't even anybody there to hurt. You’re so far into this farce, this character that you play, nothing matters to you anymore. So fine, Aventurine, keep it up. Don’t worry about getting better for me, or you, or anybody. Just remember the next time you're running around these galas and dinners and parties, and you’re all done up on the outside like the clamorous little peacock you are, with your chains and your rings and all this frivolous fabric,” he said, flicking the fur that was draped around Aventurine's neck, “Inside, you’re the same empty, pathetic man you always have been. You cannot purchase what your soul lacks.”

Aventurine would rather hide what’s hurting him under poker, parties, and piles of money. Ratio doesn't like it one bit.Bookmarked by turtlenecksandsweaters
