    Summary

    The relationship had been a mess, but the breakup was a disaster. It was a precious short six months that they actually managed to make it, which was double the time Aventurine had personally bet on. It was still closer than Topaz’s optimistic wager of ‘forever.’ How sweet. If only.

    Summary

    The mental checklist grows and gets revised until Veritas can breathe again and he knows exactly what to do. Satisfied, he throws the sheet back over Aventurine. Shelter has to come first. He can't— won't— leave Aventurine's side until he believes this will be a safe area. The place is too exposed to work for a long term shelter, but it will suffice for now. At least until Aventurine is able to walk again.

    One last breath. And now it's time for him to work.

    [After the events of Rota Fortunae, Veritas tasks himself with the important mission of repairing Aventurine. But even when the android is back online, there seems to be something wrong with his coding. Will Veritas be able to fix Aventurine before he hurts himself or others?]

    Summary

    the torture of small talk, with someone you used to love

    “I've never loved anyone else after you broke up with me!” Aventurine turned around to face him, his eyes — usually so radiant and shining under the spotlights — flashed with hurt.

    “Did you even think about how I felt, Veritas? Do you have any idea how much fucking pain I was in–” Aventurine choked on his own words, his thin frame shaking — from the cold, or from the strength of his sobs, Ratio could not tell — his tears mixing with the rain as they kissed their way down his cheek, the same way blood kissed skin as it dripped in rivulets, the same way Ratio had once kissed him.

    “It hurt,” Aventurine said, barely louder than a whisper. “It hurt so much I thought about killing myself, I thought about downing an entire bottle of pills, having them find me on the floor of my apartment, because I didn’t want to live in a world without you!”

    Summary

    Forget the guessing game, he’d rather have small talk about the weather. “I’m not interested in playing twenty questions with a stranger.”

    “Strangers are but friends waiting to be made.”

    “You’ll be waiting for much longer, then.”

    There aren't many opportunities for a university professor and a famous movie star to meet. Their careers, relationships, and lives are simply too different. That's what Veritas believes at least, and his lack of run-ins are proof of that - to the point where there isn't really a need to think about it at all. …So why hasn't this big screen actor left him alone yet?!

    Or

    Dr. Veritas Ratio finds himself a new tag-along in the form of a lively celebrity.

    Summary

    He's sure Madam Jade will give him hell tomorrow for not mingling enough, for not trying to expand his new list of contacts and potential clients. But all of the other Stonehearts are here too, so Aventurine can only assume they've gotten to everyone first.

    Therefore, he has no chance to steal work from them, and he doesn't care enough to try.

    Or:

    Aventurine hates networking, Sugilite offers to help him meet new business partners. But of course, advice like that comes at a cost.

    Summary

    After Penacony, Aventurine found himself wandering aimlessly. Even if he healed physically, he was far from healing mentally.

    So, Jade allows him to have a long-needed vacation.

    But not without a doctor to accompany him-- to heal his soul.

    Summary

    “One condition.”

    “Go on.”

    “No feelings. It’s just casual sex. This cannot get complicated.”

    “...Very well.”

    Aventurine has lost track of how many times this conversation has replayed in his mind. How many times he’s cursed himself for being such a damn fool. A fool for taking Veritas Ratio’s stupid proposition, and an even bigger fool for thinking that setting that stupid rule would do anything at all to save him.

    Summary

    “…I am not a dog…” The words were slipping from his lips involuntarily, barely a whisper, likely not loud enough for the Doctor to hear him.

    Ratio arched an eyebrow, a mix of genuine confusion and somewhat concern in this expression. “…Pardon me?”

    Summary

    “… Androids are now matching, maybe even surpassing human intelligence!”

    Since Sunday had become the mayor of a nearby city, whispers about ‘the rise of androids’ reach even the narrowest streets of Pier Point. These new humanoid ‘machines’ supposedly surpass humans in every way, shape and form—a most urgent threat, as preached by Sunday. When one day Aventurine, a perfectly inconspicuous ‘android’, is making his way to an early morning IPC meeting, he witnesses an unprecedented incident. By coincidence or maybe by destiny, Veritas Ratio, a prominent researcher and professor within the Intelligentsia Guild, beholds the same scene. Though differently motivated, they come to a tacit agreement: these rising sentiments, instigated by Sunday, are escalating beyond reason. And so, an unexpected shared mission commences. Can the combined determination of a brilliant scholar and a senior manager alter the fate of a complete species?

    or
    A (lengthy) take on HoyoFair’s Rota Fortunae, starring Aventurine, Ratio and Sunday.

    Summary

    Aventurine was a beta. His scent was dim, like most betas, present but nearly nonexistent. It was rare for him to have mood swings, which commonly presented themselves before an alpha’s rut and before an omega’s heat.

    “Perfect for a gambler,” Jade had complimented as she was filling in official documents for him. He hadn’t bothered to correct her for that detail, thinking it unnecessary, but the truth was—he wasn’t a beta.

    Nor an alpha. Nor an omega.

     

    Or, Aventurine can't help but yearn for Ratio's touch when his late presentation comes.

    Phainon felt his face flush red as he stared at the screen, then glanced at the blank faced Anaxa. So this is what he thinks when it comes to him?!

    Summary

    What is the thing you want the most and what would you endure to have it?
    Three men familiar with each other but not intimately so, all separately agree to a deal with a construct of Remembrance to get what they most desire for a price. In order to get the prize, they must earn it through a set of trials.

    Aventurine, Sampo, and Sunday are surprised that when they arrive at the time and location, they were given to find they're not going to go through these trials alone. Three acquaintances must put aside their differences if they're going to get through this in one piece. Memories and fears come back to haunt these unlucky souls as the line between illusion and reality becomes blurred. Here while what you experience may be an illusion, the trauma, the suffering, the fear, what you feel, and the memories being unveiled are as real as they come.

    Summary

    Aventurine, unfortunately, has a magnetic quality to him, one that makes it hard to let him leave Sugilite’s sight.

    That might be his greed though, he never wants to be parted from his most prized possessions.

    Sugilite does not consider himself a gambling man, but he takes a chance, a risk (a very badly calculated risk), when he invites Aventurine along on a boring job. He tells himself it's simply for entertainment. Beaches and pools are not Sugilite's ideal way of relaxing, so what better way to fix that problem than bringing along his own pet.

    But he doesn't account for how spending an entire week in Aventurine's presence will make him feel. And feeling is never a good thing when it comes to Sugilite.

    Summary

    "Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."

    The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."

    While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

    Summary

    Apocalypse: Star Rail might be the worst game Dr. Veritas Ratio has ever played. In what world is murdering half the known universe for no reason even remotely reasonable? What kind of game kills off its most compelling characters just for shock value?

    Also, why is he now in the game — and as a damn NPC, out of all things?


    【 Activation Code: “Moronic developers, moronic game.” It is our sincere wish that during your time, you can fulfill your desires and, in accordance with your wish, transform a piece of moronic work into a magnificent, high-quality, first-rate classic. Bound Role: Unnamed male NPC of the Veritas Prime star system, age 0. 】

    【 Congratulations! Welcome to Apocalypse: Star Rail, version ██! 】


    Well. If these idiot developers can’t take constructive criticism, Veritas might as well construct the criticism himself… by forcibly inserting himself into a plot where he’s never existed.
