Summary
You’ll howl to the moon, to the stars
To the way that we were
'Cause it's just too much for youForever lost together
Forever howling at the moon
‘Cause it's just too much for youHowl - The Family Crest
Six months. This little outpost had more than enough food to sustain them for that long. Enough water, too. They'd be able to eat, drink, and bathe without needing to ration too much.
But six months was a long time. Especially considering Aventurine's next heat was due in one.
(Or: Aventurine and Ratio are stranded. Being of opposite dynamics was never an issue before, but it was about to be.)

Summary
Aventurine always hired random escorts to accompany him through his heats. A different one every time, all to prevent anyone from getting too close. This had worked fine for him since he became an official within the IPC, and the revolving door of strangers kept everything nice and impersonal. Distant. Safe.
However, after one of his escorts had attacked him and left him on death's door, the IPC execs decide that Aventurine is too valuable of an asset to leave in the hands of random alphas-for-hire. So, now he's to be assigned one, whether he likes it or not. Because his life is one grand, cosmic joke, his assigned 'caretaker' is none other than Veritas Ratio, a man whom he knows all-too-well.
It's fine. All he has to do is endure, and hope none of the cracks in his carefully-managed persona begin to show when under the scrutiny of a man who is entirely too damn perceptive for his own good.

Summary
"It isn't worth it," Aventurine tells him. "I promise you, it isn't."
Ratio takes a step forward, then a second when Aventurine doesn't back away. He's gentle. His fingers are warm when he reaches for Aventurine's face, tucking a strand of hair behind his ear. "Did you think I didn't know you were a mess until now?"
|
The IPC sends Aventurine on vacation. He knows he shouldn't, knows they're nothing to each other, but rather than go alone, he invites Ratio to come with him.Bookmarked by antlerpiled

Summary
"Well, then you're acquainted with the joys of alcohol," Kaveh exclaimed, forcing a chuckle out of his mouth.
"Joys?" Alhaitham deadpanned, making an adorable sound of discontent. "It was shit the first time. This time it's okay, because you're here."
Or: Alhaitham gets drunk and becomes uncharacteristically talkative.

Summary
“I am glad to see you,” he says. It doesn’t feel like enough. “You walk into the room and it upturns my entire world. You know that, don’t you? It’s like gravity itself shifts. You don’t have to try. And yet—”
“And yet, here I am, trying,” Aventurine cuts in, smiling, that gods-awful fake smile. He nudges the tray forward before taking a few steps backwards. “Trying anyway. And it still isn’t good enough.”
“Aventurine. Don’t—”
“Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll still love you tomorrow.” It’s said as if it’s a punchline to some cruel joke. All the while, Ratio is helpless to do anything but to watch dumbly as the distance between them yawns wider. “Next time, I’ll book an appointment. Enjoy your coffee.”
Or:
Ratio and Aventurine are learning how to do the whole relationship thing.Bookmarked by antlerpiled
