    Summary

    “Ancel, what…?” Berenger starts only to trail off.

    Ancel wonders if he looks as insane as he feels. He’s barefoot and barely dressed, the dressing gown gaping open over his bare chest. His face is unpainted and his hair is wild. Is there still a mark on his neck from the knife? Or has that faded like the moment itself has faded. His death- because he knows now, he died- there and gone, and now, inexplicably, he’s back. Back to Varenne, back to Berenger, and none of it has happened.

    Yet.

    (Or: Ancel gets stuck in a time loop)

    Summary

    One day, Topaz comes in with a white-haired girl tagging along behind her, and the first thing Aventurine says is, “there’s no way you could have had a kid since the last time I saw you.”

    aka, the one where Aventurine is finally sort-of settling into his 'new' life, except there are café shenanigans, (kinda?)lovers'-tiffs, a child who needs him, maybe a little bit more trauma to unpack, and a whole two-persons' worth of memories for him to sift through - not necessarily in that order.

    ~~~

    A collection of stories covering Aventurine's life after, and sometimes 'before', the events in Strangers in the Night.

    Summary

    Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.

    Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.

    Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.

    Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.

    AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

    Summary

    Kaveh smiles up at the stranger. "Sorry, he's right! I am taken. By him. But he doesn't know it yet."

    What.

    "Wait, what did you mean by that?" Al-Haitham asks faintly.

    "Oh, that?" Kaveh scoffs. "You're a little dense. Obviously, I meant exactly what I said. I wouldn't want to be kept by anybody but you."

    "But we are—" Al-Haitham trips over his words, trailing behind Kaveh as he walks purposefully through the city. "We aren't. Together. Neither of us has confirmed anything of the sort."

    Kaveh gives him a derisory look. "And what, we don't act like it? Some things don't have to be put into words to be understood. Ah, I forgot. Haravatat. You probably wouldn't accept anything else any other way."

    "It is not logical to make assumptions without empirical evidence."

    "You scholarly types," Kaveh mutters. "Always so particular."

    So. Al-Haitham is in love with Kaveh. This has got to be somebody's fault.

    Cue the five stages of grief.
