    Summary

    Aventurine isn't necessarily 'human', not by the IPC's definition, at least, but he certainly fits in well pretending to be one. It's been over a decade since he last bore the insectoid wings of the Avgin people, having never regrown them last time he molted. Since then, he's simply accepted that part of himself must be gone, another piece lost among the horrors of his past.

    That is, at least, until his metamorphosis randomly kicks in during a diplomatic mission to a distant desert planet.

    He tries to shrug it off, to let it slide right off his back and continue with his work unhindered, but a lot has changed since the days of his childhood. As a grown adult, his yearly metamorphosis cycle means a lot more than just growing in a fresh pair of colorful wings... as he's about to find out the hard way.
