Summary
The Ten Stonehearts of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department aren't all that close - at least, not according to the Pier Point rumour mill or interastral tabloids. Emotional connections between them would only be a weakness in their... riskier transactions, so it works out nicely that the best thing you can really say about any of their relationships is that they're professional and cordial.
And those who might say differently rarely get a chance to tell the tale.Series

Summary
In his early days as a slave, Aventurine was subjected to neuro-reprogramming that, when activated, makes him mindlessly obedient. Thankfully, the program was scrapped, and it’s been over a decade since he’s even seen someone who knows the key phrase – but Aventurine’s luck runs out while he’s crashing Ratio’s vacation.
Naturally, Ratio is not content to let some bottom feeding slaver make off with one of his few friends. Offering further assistance, however, leads to unforeseen consequences - because as Ratio begins researching Aventurine’s condition and searching for a way to free him from it, their feelings for one another begin to change. But Ratio is all too aware of the ethical issues of being involved with a patient, especially one who has given him so much power over their mind . . . and as for Aventurine, Ratio is the one person he can't risk losing.

Summary
Aventurine is stuck in a time loop on the day of his “death.”
After forty cycles of failed attempts to get time moving forward, he decides to take a break from solving the mystery and blow off a little steam with Ratio. But the doctor’s reaction to what Aventurine intends to be a casual hook-up raises deep issues for both of them and ends up dragging Ratio into the time loop.
To break free, they will have to cooperate. Productive communication, however, turns out to be a much bigger challenge than the time loop itself.

Summary
The first time Aventurine offers to sleep with one Doctor Veritas Ratio, it's supposed to be business as usual.
In Aventurine’s experience, everyone in the Guild is hungry for praise, happy to have their egos stroked, and if they happen to get their dick wet at the same time, even better.Everyone is happy.
Except, apparently, Ratio, who seems to have missed the memo.
—-
Or a handful of times Aventurine and Ratio find themselves sleeping together – literally or figuratively– and a few times they don’t.More serious than it sounds.

Summary
Here was the risk that Ratio had been anticipating. He made a move to enter, but beyond the doorless opening he heard a sound.
“Dr. Ros.” It was Aventurine. Ratio suppressed a groan. How could he be so stupid? Didn’t he know that this room was what Eosphoros-I was famous for? He prepared to stride inside and drag whoever was there out to a proper meeting room—
—before he stopped short at the sight of himself.
On a distant planet slated for IPC acquisition, there exists a room designed to extract one’s deepest desires.
