    Summary

    The man flips the plastic package around in his hands. “Sorry, doc. I must be missing something here. What good are grape gummies going to do—?”

    Finally, their eyes meet.

    Ratio lifts a brow.

    The man laughs. “Lucky me,” he breathes out, voice hoarse from potential overuse and the festering heat of his open wounds.

    In which Kakavasha and Veritas met as children at a tiny library one summer. Years later, Aventurine reappears in Dr. Ratio's life and reignites what had been simmering for decades. Or, a modern au of childhood friends to lovers.

    Summary

    Yes, Ratio remembers that first day: the Omega had introduced himself sweetly, words nearly a lilt. Aventurine. He had said his name was Aventurine, named after the precious stone, supposedly.

    Now, months later with a dagger pressed to his throat, back against the floor and the window shattered, Ratio should have seen this coming, too.

    Prince Ratio, as part of a trade negotiation with the IPC, is gifted a prize Omega who seems dead-set on seducing the crowned Prince. Ratio, not one for barbaric traditions such as treating Omega as chattel, resists any and all seduction attempts: Aventurine is not his mate, after all.

    Summary

    Ratio presses one of the buttons, and the screen lights up. The numbers on it flash for a moment before settling at 0.200.

    “In this area alone, the concentration of ambient memoria is 200 millisomni per square inch. Not enough to induce hallucinations, but we may have some interesting dreams while we’re here. And the citizens of Vara-II have been having such dreams likely their entire lives. The effects of nuclear radiation on memoria have not been studied, so I can’t say for sure what effects this has had on their societal development. But I doubt it’s helped them keep a level head.”

    (During a negotiation on a planet with a history of IPC-enabled nuclear warfare, Aventurine and Ratio get stuck alone in an old fallout shelter-turned-museum after a bomb drops, with Aventurine severely injured. They've got the supplies to last until an IPC rescue ship can arrive, but the planet's already-unstable memoria has been stirred up, and they're periodically forced to relive the memories of the shelter's original inhabitants. And things didn't go well for the shelter's original inhabitants.)

    Summary

    He hears thunder. Perhaps it is the mother goddess, come to punish him for his misuse of his blessing. But no, it is the audience, those who bet on the “good looking piece of meat” happy that their investment paid off. He is sick, sick from what he’s done, sick from the way they cheer for him, sick from the way they scream “Signonian” instead of his name.

    He does not vomit. He does not shout at them. He does not ask them how they can watch such callousness with smiles on their faces.

    Instead, he whispers to himself, “All or nothing,” and takes a bow.
