Summary
“Don’t you ever feel…” His lips invade the space between them, brushing all sweet and reverent. Words heavy on the tongue, bloodied shoulder stinging with want.
“…Like what?” Words dissolve against his mouth, waiting to taste the confession.
“Mm, like…” Bottomless pupils shiver with a devoid hue. As if aching for something to corrupt.
Should he ruin the doctor too?
“…something’s missing.”
—
Years pass until a blinking, almost human, distress signal is detected deep within the surface of Lepismat. A signal from none other than Doctor Asad Rowan’s intercom, the doomed scholar believed to have perished on an expedition to develop a Swarm disease vaccination. Against all odds, clinging to life.
Doctor Veritas Ratio, a longtime friend and colleague on the abandoned project, is left dumbfounded. How could his friend be alive after all these years? The only way to discover the truth, it seems, was to go down there himself…
With the IPC’s most daring chip Aventurine of Stratagems, for good fortune, of course.

Summary
If his eyes could glow, he'd most certainly sell them. Anyone would be a fool not to.
When his information and photo is put onto a black market website with a hefty sum for his head, it is Aventurine himself who takes on the task of infiltrating the market with the intent to either raze it to the ground, or turn it into something profitable for the IPC. Truly, the only entertaining element is that it is Veritas Ratio who must follow him through a swarm of hunters waiting to sink their claws deep into his throat.

Summary
“Welcome to the New Penacony! A paradise where we can openly praise the order and bear witness to Ena’s dream. You’ll find that there is no pain, no loss, and no suffering here. Sunday waits for you in the church Mr. Aventurine. He is eager to hear your confessions.”
Luck is akin to a pendulum. You may be blessed with an immeasurable amount of good fortune now, but eventually that pendulum will swing the other way.

Summary
Aventurine wants to laugh as he goes slack against Ratio’s side, but all that comes out is a pained wheeze.
A bullet, really?
There’s poetic justice in one finally managing to reach him only when it was meant for someone else.
–
When Aventurine finally manages to outrun his luck, it’s not the result of a grand scheme or one of his high-stake gambles. Instead, on what should have been a routine mission, he gets shot.Ratio is there to pick up the pieces.

Summary
”and you know i won’t complain”
—
He drew a breath in and spoke before Scaramouche fried him on the spot, “Look I'll leave, okay? But we don’t- you don't have to do anything, I can just make you feel good. If you want it.”
Childe stumbled over his words. Negotiation wasn't a regular part of these trysts, more often a trading of insults and clashing teeth, blind pawing at clothing and a submission to ill placed desires was all the pretense needed. They weren't friends, after all.
But the way Scaramouche was holding himself tugged at something in Childe. He'd never seen him so seemingly exhausted, even after fighting for hours, even with clothes disheveled and mussed up hair, Scaramouche always held an air of perfection that Childe just assumed was built into his being.
