    Summary

    There is no clear moment, not really, but there is one that sticks out in his mind, when he knew with a sickening sort of thud inside him, a punch to the jaw in an anything goes bare-fist fight, no chance to hide his weak spots in the aftermath.

    “No.” Suguru says, enunciating carefully, as though his lack of diction is the issue.

    “But Suguru,” Satoru whines, heavy on the last syllable, and Suguru can feel Shoko shift beside him.

    “Why do you say his name like that?” She snips before Satoru can continue with his impassioned plea or Suguru can try to intercede, cut him off. “Just say it normal, be normal.” She kicks out and misses Satoru, standing at the edge of the bed, and hits Suguru, who grunts in response. “Oops.”

    Suguru waves it off.

    “When is he ever normal?” He asks, rolling his eyes at her. Shoko snorts out a laugh, her leg resting over Suguru’s shin, a comforting warmth.

    “So true.” Shoko responds, flicking open her phone.

    “I’m literally right here.” Satoru practically shouts, tossing his sunglasses haphazardly onto Suguru’s bedside table, “terrible friendship, terrible friends,” and Suguru closes his eyes because he knows what is coming next, “Suguru,” Satoru whines again.

    Summary

    Penacony was bad. Redor II is worse.

    A supposed “easy asset-valuation assignment” quickly goes south when Aventurine and Ratio encounter a lingering remnant of the Order determined to hold them prisoner using their greatest desires—namely, each other.

    Summary

    “Don’t,” Ratio says, finally breaking the silence. Just a single word, uttered in a low voice. “You know nothing of what I want.” 

    “Oh, I think I do,” Feinman shoots back with a smirk. “I remembered just now that I heard an interesting rumor about you. Something about you and your obsession with a certain…IPC executive?” 

    Aventurine’s stomach flips, the words clattering around his skull like dice in a tin cup. 

    Or in which Aventurine goes undercover at a brothel and accidentally finds Ratio there.

    Summary

    "—'m close." Ratio murmurs into the sweaty shoulder quivering in overstimulation. He leans back far enough to see his face clearly, etching the sight beneath him with each succinct detail memorized—Aventurine, loopy and fucked and smiling.

    The smile is what gets him; so soft unlike the ones he throws out willy-nilly outside. Is it real? He wants it to be. Aeons, he wants.

    For now, he only relishes: the heat, the sincerity, the peaceful smile upon those plump lips.

    His lips.

    Ratio bends down, briefly meeting the moist, tender plague of his heart.

    Aventurine pointedly does not kiss back.

    or: 5 times Dr. Veritas Ratio and Aventurine break their “no kissing” policy.

    Summary

    [NSFW Ratiorine Week Day 2: Toys/Degredation...?]
    At least, that's what it was supposed to be, before the concept got away from me.

    A routine trip to Herta Space Station, one that Aventurine insisted on tagging along for, ends in disaster when a bizarre curio temporarily links their minds together.

    Even worse, now they have to depart on their return trip back to Pier Point, so they'll be on a spaceship together. Alone. For the next week. With their thoughts still linked together.

    Aeons, have mercy.

    Summary

    When Aventurine adds an event to Ratio's calendar titled "Sexual Intercourse with Senior Manager Aventurine", he expects an angry text—maybe, a phone call if the doctor is feeling particularly zesty. What he does not expect is for Ratio to show up at his door, right on time, fully intending to make good on their appointment.

    Or: Aventurine fucks around and gets fucked. Not a single lesson is learned.

    Summary

    “A Doctor of Chaos?” Aventurine echoes, rereading the letter Veritas has handed him. The seal of the IPC presses into the paper, accompanied by a torrent of words that, to the gambler’s eyes and ears, mean absolutely nothing.

    Veritas shrugs, loosening his grip on the luggage. “That would be me.”

    Aventurine arches an eyebrow and reads it again, for the fourth time:

    As a Senior member of the Department of Strategic Investment and one of the Ten Stonehearts, we are pleased to inform you, Aventurine of Stratagems, that you have been assigned a Doctor of Chaos until you have recovered from the traumatic events in Penacony. Doctor Veritas Ratio will attend to your mental and physical well-being for as long as deemed necessary. Until then, your leave shall remain paid, for no more than three hundred and sixty-five days, at which point medical assistance may be renewed.
     
    Respectfully,
     
    Strategic Investment Department

    Or: Aventurine and Ratio become roommates after the events of Penacony. And, it seems, Ratio is his Doctor of Chaos.

    Summary

    “You need something with which to occupy yourself, and taking care of animals can be psychologically stabilizing,” Ratio says. “These particular animals are self-sufficient enough to not be too much work for a first-time pet owner, but still possess conventionally appealing characteristics. Given your situation, they are the best option.”

    “I don’t--” Aventurine exhales and pinches between his eyebrows. “Ratio, I don’t want pets.”

    (While waiting to find out if he's been fired, Aventurine's been having some really, really unpleasant nightmares. Ratio brings him some creations to try to improve his mental health. They're surprisingly helpful--but they've got their work cut out for them.)

    Summary

    As much as his co-workers might insist it is possible, and Aventurine himself might pretend it has happened; you do not return from the shadow of Nihility unscathed.

    Lucky for him, Dr. Ratio has some critters that need fostering.

    Summary

    Mydei rolls his eyes toward Phainon, tugging on his shoulder. “Lean into me,” he says, ignoring the red flush staining Phainon’s cheeks.

    “Sorry.” Phainon adjusts himself, obeying once again. “I just—I didn’t think you’d—”

    Mydei narrows his eyes. “It’s just a photoshoot,” he says, as much for Phainon as for himself, because this is the thing of dreams. Of nightmares. Being this close to Phainon, pressed into him, breathing in natural scent of him, is almost too much. “Relax, Deliverer, or you’ll strain something, and then you won’t be able to spar with me tomorrow.”

    Phainon and Mydei help Castorice with a photoshoot.

    Summary

    Every book in the universe one day ends up at the Library. They all come to Mydei’s desk, and it’s his pleasure to catalog them. For years, from the rising to the setting of the sun, he has sat at his desk entering those books into the card catalog before passing them off to his librarians to shelve. Though the librarians are the world’s heroes, and the Library rests firmly in the control of the Head Librarian, no one disputes that the Library is his. When someone wants to find a rare tome, they come first to him.

    “Enter,” he says as someone knocks on his door.

    Hephaestion opens the door. “A petitioner for the cataloguer,” he says, a smile playing across his lips. Mydei looks past Hephaestion to a silvery-haired young man, eager as a puppy, expression hopeful. It is no small thing to seek out Mydei’s help, and no small expense. This puppy looks as though he could hardly afford his own dinner. “This is Phainon,” Hephaestion continues. “Of Aedes Elysiae.”

    In a Library that contains more than just books, Phainon commissions Chief Cataloguer Mydei to find a particular volume of great importance to him. What they endure on their journey will change them forever.

    Summary

    "What's the game, then, Doctor? What do I need to do to get out of here?"
    "I'm afraid I'm not actually on your side. As a member of the Intelligentsia Guild, you've made yourself my enemy with what you did on Egyhazo."
    The prisoner's eyes sparkle with sudden enthusiasm. "Did you believe it?"
    "Believe what?"
    "My ruse."
    "Of course not," Veritas scoffs.

    In the aftermath of the Intelligentsia Guild and IPC's fumble in Egyhazo, a new Stoneheart rises to prominence. Veritas hesitates to believe that this "Aventurine" intends to make good on his promise of 'mutually beneficial collaboration.'

    Summary

    Everyone had their fair share of secrets, some more so than others.

    Mydei knew this better than most. To his colleagues and to anyone else he came across daily, he was simply the solemn one. He never said anything more than what was asked of him and he never lingered long enough to befriend anyone else. No man was an island, but Mydei came close to being one.

    But alone, in the solitary privacy of his own room every Thursday and Sunday night, he harbored one little secret that he would never deign to reveal to anyone else.

    -

    or, what do you do when these secrets come to light-and are found out by the person you least wanted to know?

    Summary

    He’d like to meet a Pepeshi someday, though, to see an even starker example of how different the rest of the universe can be from Sigonia. What must their home planet be like, with an infrastructure catered to the height of a child? Or planets like Thalassa, covered in endless water--the technological wonders of Planet Screwllum--the memoria-drenched dreamland of…

    Of…

    Ah, but he’s too curious for his own good. Sigonia has everything he needs, and plenty of its own fascinations, besides.

    (Aventurine was still on Penacony when the Order's paradise unfolded, but he keeps having moments of lucidity. Paradise isn't as nice when you know it isn't real.)

    Summary

    “Well,” is what Aglaea says at last. “This is certainly… a predicament.”

    Her voice is as unreadable as ever, so it could mean anything from this is manageable to this is a disaster the likes of which the Flame-Chase Journey will never recover from. As things stand, Mydei is more inclined to believe the latter.

    Beside them, Tribbie finally pops up from where she’s been studying their joined hands. “What Snowy said is true!” she proclaims in a voice far too cheerful for their current situation. “He and De are one hundred percent stuck to each other.”

    While out on patrol, Mydei and Phainon get hit with a curse that binds their hands together.

    Summary

    Mydeimos’s smile is sharp as he shrugs. “What’s your name again?”

    “Phainon of—” Phainon cuts himself off, looking away. It doesn’t matter where he’s from. Not anymore. “Phainon.”

    “Phainon of Nowhere,” Mydeimos says, and those words disembowel Phainon, cutting into his belly and slicing clean across it. “Come to bed with me. We have a show to put on.”

    In the midst of an ongoing war between Okhema and Castrum Kremnos, Mydei's mother gifts him Phainon, an Okheman bed slave he neither wants nor needs. But there is more at stake for both Mydei and Phainon: between Gorgo's ploys, Eurypon's plans, and the advancing black tide, they are pulled between a growing desire for each other and the very fate of their world.

    Summary

    That Ratio cared about him at all was not a surprise. For all his sternness, there was a wellspring of incomprehensible devotion in him, a doctor’s instinct for the damned. The surprise was how much Aventurine wanted him to. How he’d slipped and lost his footing the moment he’d felt like someone would catch him. Aventurine couldn’t afford that comfort, and Ratio couldn’t afford the trouble Aventurine would bring him, inevitably, the distractions and the nonsense and all the reckless gambles.

    Aventurine had cheated fate enough. And Ratio had other battles, more worth his while.

    It’s all rather refreshing, as though nothing had really changed. The journey to the bath and back to bed is an arduous task at best, and Aventurine doesn’t begin to fool himself into thinking he’s in any fit state to do anything much more than this for now, but Ratio’s company is a welcomed one, if only in the way it always has been.

    Maybe, in another life, they might have made for quite the formidable pair. Oh, well.
