    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

    After the Penacony mission, Aventurine had turned his life around. He'd taken up productive hobbies, took more time off work, and amazingly, quit gambling. His eyes had a shine to them Veritas had never seen before. He seemed more alive than he'd ever been.

    He would've been impressed, proud of him even, if not for one detail.

    Six system months ago, Veritas had found Aventurine's dead body inside his Dreampool.

    Summary

    It'll be easy. A quick hit. In and out. I wouldn't give you anything complicated on your wedding anniversary, Aventurine.

    Unfortunately, the fact that Veritas Ratio, his husband of five years, is standing over the corpse of the man Aventurine was sent to kill, makes this job very complicated, indeed.

    (inspired by Mr. & Mrs. Smith)

    Summary

    "Now. Must I remediate basic survival instincts, as well? Stand up or get shot."

    Aventurine doesn't understand half of those words, but it doesn't matter. The gun speaks clearly enough.

    Kakavasha's riskiest gamble pays off, and he is hired by the Interastral Peace Corporation as Aventurine. A second chance at life, if he can survive it.

    Without a Synesthesia Beacon, every conversation is a puzzle, a bluff. The new Stoneheart has learned to fake fluency in the IPC's language, Universalis, the same way he learned everything else: through observation and context, by slipping through the cracks with charm and deception.

    That is, until Dr. Ratio cares enough to scrutinize him, and refuses to look away.

    Summary

    This isn’t how the mission was supposed to go.

    Not with Ratio behind a locked door, falling apart piece by piece.

    And definitely not with Aventurine on the outside, wishing he knew how to put him back together.

    Or worse—knowing exactly how.

    A mission takes an unexpected turn when Ratio unknowingly ingests a drink laced with remnants of the Propagation. Fearing he might lose control and hurt Aventurine, he locks himself away to ride it out alone. It’s up to Aventurine to coax him back out—but that’s easier said than done when he can’t bring himself to admit his feelings for the one person he can’t afford to lose.

    Summary

    By their third mission—between the crass jokes, the mindless banter, and the heated glares Ratio sends him when Aventurine’s jokes cross some invisible line—the tension snaps under the weight of it all.

    Ratio’s hand slams against the wall mere inches from Aventurine’s face. Eyes like no sunset Aventurine has ever seen bore into him. It leaves Aventurine feeling both utterly exposed and yet so very empty.

    “Hit a nerve?” Aventurine guesses. His interest is piqued, but not his fear.

    There's something about the new partner he's had for a few missions. It can't just be that handsome bust of his. There's something simmering under the surface that is different about Doctor Veritas Ratio. Aventurine is determined to find out what that is.

    Summary

    Veritas hadn't even tried to stop Aventurine from pulling him in by the chain at his chest and kissing him hard and biting. That had been his first lapse in judgment. The second came soon after, then the third, fourth, fifth.

    Sex creates idiots. Veritas knows this well. He wishes he knew how to stop himself. He doesn't want to stop at all. Aventurine is far too good at pushing his buttons. Making him stupid. Making him care. They meet again in less than a week.
    |
    Aventurine reacts strangely to gentleness. Veritas cares entirely too much.

    Summary

    [NSFW Ratiorine Week Day 1: Omegaverse/Bondage]

    He had brought the idea up on a whim one evening. "Hey, doctor," Aventurine said, "I want you to do something for me."

    Ratio eyed him warily. "What are you scheming, gambler?"

    He leaned over, whispering in Ratio's ear so that only he had the privilege to hear the words.

     

     

    "I want you to tie me up and use me however you want."

    Summary

    A kind of stillness came over Aventurine, his breath held for a long moment. He felt utterly devastated.

    “You read my mind,” he said softly.

    “No,” Sunday protested forcefully. “No. I try very hard not to hear your thoughts, but sometimes they are so loud, Aventurine. That’s all.”

    “Stay the fuck out of my head,” Aventurine hissed. Cold fear and a hot sense of betrayal wracked through him.

    He jerked back, then, with one final glance at Sunday’s rueful face, darted out of his chair and wove his way frantically through the assorted tables until he escaped the restaurant, and Sunday’s scrutiny, entirely.

    Veritas Ratio wakes up one day with another version of him standing over him. His surprise, however, is overshadowed by the fact that this version of Ratio made it into the Genius Society.

    Summary

    “I know what I'm doing. Trust me,” Aventurine weighed his words, careful not to say too much for fear of being overheard. “A Stoneheart with a broken stone will face a trial, but one without it is a as good as dead.”

    -----------

    Aventurine and Ratio are sent to an isolated planet whose inhabitants follow the Path of Preservacion. Goal; to claim it for the IPC. There is only one problem – the way people of Dethim understand Preservation is different from the way the IPC enforces it, therefore executives are not a welcome guests there.

    Well, maybe there are two problems. As soon as they land, Aventurine and Ratio are attacked and abducted.

    Okay, maybe there are three. Sugilite is here too.

    Summary

    Veritas gestures at the glasses, a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes strewn across his face.

    “Is it half full or half empty?”

    Aventurine’s laugh this time is even breathier. “It looks like wine to me.”

    “I see. So that’s the type of person you are.”

    Or, that story where Aventurine goes undercover as a stripper (amongst other things) to infiltrate Intelligentsia Corporation by befriending and bedding the young millionaire heir to the throne. Nothing could possibly go wrong.

    Summary

    But then the back of his hand hits Ratio’s.

    It’s an accident—it always is when it’s the two of them—but the result is the same.

     


    … his hands are surprisingly soft.

     

    It is not an insult or crass comment. It is not something superficial or sharp. It isn’t even belittling. No, the words that sound just like Ratio that flutter around in his head are so agonizingly gentle that Aventurine swears he feels dizzy from it.

    Or, Aventurine temporarily acquires the ability to not only read the minds of the cat cakes, but also those around him. Ratio's thoughts are far kinder than Aventurine had anticipated. It may just be the impetus they need to finally clear the air.

    Maybe it won’t be that bad, he tells himself.

    He opens the package. It is that bad.

    It is just past six on a weeknight evening, and Aventurine thought it important enough to disrupt Veritas’s post-work activities to call him over for a… bunny suit.

    Aventurine gets Ratio a surprise present. It goes about as expected.

    Summary

    "Mr. Aventurine, my apologies for keeping you waiting."

    That man before him lets out a soft laugh. If his precarious situation makes him nervous, he has effectively hidden that feeling behind careless bravado.

    "Mister Sunday, I was hoping it wouldn't be you. If only because then it'd mean you were just a little less cliche."

    Sunday slows his step, pausing out Aventurine's arm reach. Not that Aventurine could have reached him anyway, with his arms bound behind his back.

    "Hm. Do you mean to say I'm still playing your game?"

    Summary

    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.

    Summary

    Ever since Penacony, Aventurine has had this nagging feeling that he's fated to be ever in the doctor's debt. Had he even thanked Ratio for his dutiful performance back there? For offering his faith and wisdom where Aventurine was certain they'd be parting ways forever? Had Aventurine succinctly expressed his thanks for the way Ratio had single-handedly offered to oversee his care in the months following?

    If Aventurine can even begin to repay that selflessness, he suspects that this mission is an adequate place to start.

    Investigating a piece of technology on a distant planet, Ratio is struck down by a curse that renders him empty, grieving, and yearning for a closeness only Aventurine can provide.
