    Summary

    “Interesting that you would jump to the conclusion that I wished to bed your companion," Jing Yuan observed. "Would you believe my original question was merely intended to learn more about the two of you? You make a fascinating pair.”

    “Do not make the mistake of insulting my intelligence, General.” Ratio was having a difficult time holding himself back from saying anything that might endanger the goodwill of the Luofu. “Your interest in him is plain.”

    Jing Yuan seemed to regard Ratio then with a mixture of mutual respect and faint amusement.

    “No,” he admitted, a wry, catlike smile creeping across his face. “You’re not wrong, Doctor. You’re just not entirely right, either.”

    Ratio finds himself on his knees at the receiving end of a scintillating scheme orchestrated by his so-called business partner. One that vastly complicates his view of Aventurine's intentions towards him, and reveals just what (or who) Ratio is willing to do for Aventurine in turn.

    (Not abandoned! Author is slow.)

    Summary

    Ratio notices Aventurine hasn't texted him back all day, something that feels incredibly out of character. For someone who lives wrapped in noise and spectacle, the absence of a message feels like a warning he does not yet understand.

    Upon recieving a call from Topaz he decides to go check on him, hoping to find him busy with a meeting, complaining about his phone going missing or some elaborate inconvenience dressed up as a joke.

    Instead, he finds a testament waiting on a spotless desk, instructions for a future without Aventurine and a single name written beneath every fortune: Dr. Veritas Ratio.

    Summary

    There was once a hamlet plagued by chaos most unrelenting.

    To assuage the beast, its source, a novel solution was conceived:

    Each year, on the appointed eve, a sacrifice will be presented to appease its unending hunger.

    Dazzling souls, abundant in magic; one such unfortunate individual was instructed to abandon all hope and forfeit their lives for the greater good upon The Day of Desires.

    Century after century, the cycle carried on ever unhindered.

    The monster grew complacent.

    Oh, spare youth; hair white as bone, eyes radiant as spectral flame—doomed as you are, why defy this twisted fate?

    An unthinkable kindness—an unlikely love—can be the catalyst for great change.

    Summary

    In a world thought to be fiction, Cale Henituse, previously Kim Rok Soo, takes up the impossible task of adopting a group of traumatized teens.
    Or,
    Ruggie is homeless and finds solace with two young cats. Jamil is forced to serve a despicable noble due to family bullshit. Cater is the life of the party, but like every noble, is fake. Vil is also a noble, dancing on eggshells in an effort to maintain an image of perfection. Vil and Cater are siblings that are emotionally distant from one another. Azul, Floyd, and Jade are kidnapped and treated as circus acts in a hellhole that puts merfolk on display for entertainment. Cale Henituse is a father to even more kids.
