Summary
When Tighnari and Cyno try to help Alhaitham find a new roommate, they accidentally post the announcement...on the Akademiya’s matchmaking board.
The result? Half of Sumeru thinks the stoic scribe is looking for a soulmate.
And Kaveh is a little too curious (and maybe way too eager) to show up for the meeting.Bookmarked by umrumdami

Summary
He tilts Aventurine’s head back, slots their lips together again, but it doesn’t smell as heavy of smoke anymore. Doesn’t taste like wine or weed when their tongues brush carefully. Tastes a lot more normal, like it could be a normal occurrence. It’d be nice if this were normal. Aventurine would like that.
But that might require a longer conversation… and maybe more wine.

Summary
“I always think of you,” Aventurine says at once, leaning close. “And I miss you like hell.” How could I not? You’re my adolescence.
Veritas kisses him first. It happens like this: one hand on his cheek, the other at his nape, pulling him in. Aventurine stretches his legs, lets Veritas lie down on top of him. They kiss as if they’re still talking—and they are. They trade breath, because kissing, besides devouring, also means this: placing commas and full stops. Their moans chase one another like they used to on the school field, when they were boys, before Aventurine joined the Club and Veritas was the only person who really mattered.
Or: Aventurine and Ratio meet for the first time in high school, and they’re inseparable. But when Aventurine is invited to join an exclusive school club—the Ten Stonehearts—while Ratio is left on the sidelines, nursing a secret feeling that goes beyond friendship. Their bond begins to fracture… until it breaks completely.
Three years later the balance has shifted—Ratio shines while Aventurine feels adrift. But history tends to repeat itself, and when a reunion brings them face to face, the past is never buried.

Summary
Aventurine is not in the habit of allowing himself to want. Wanting is dangerous. Yearning is a vulnerability. Desires are weak points that can be exploited by others and used to take advantage and control. The responsible thing to do is to stamp them out, rid himself of them in such a way that the fantasies and the delusions are no longer appealing.
That’s what he should do. That’s what he’s trying to do. But somewhere deep in his small, hollow little heart, there’s somehow just enough of a soft core left to hope.
Hope is almost as dangerous as want.
After Penacony, Aventurine takes on the biggest gamble of his life — his heart, soul, and desires laid out on the table. He only does it because he doesn't expect Ratio to match his wager. But not only does the good doctor match it, he raises the stakes so far beyond what Aventurine could have ever allowed himself to dream of winning.

Summary
Flins had been awake when Varka left that morning.
He'd seen how Varka had left, in horror and invoking Barbatos for his mistake.
When he found out that Varka had left Nod-Krai completely without a word or even a letter left behind, Flins was certain of his standing in Varka's life and understood his meaning loud and clear.
Nearly ten years later, by fate and poor choices, they met again.
