    Summary

    Feng Xin’s first memory is of when he was four.

    It’s of his birthday party - the one he shared with his twin sister, older by virtue of the six-minutes she’s born prior. Still, despite her entering the world first, it’s his name that’s iced on the very top of the cake and hers on the line below it; ‘Xin-Er and Jiaqi,’ the son, the daughter, the celebrated, and the second.

    “Xin-Er, blow out your candles! Make a wish!” His mother urges, as the camera’s flash comes bursting to life. Young as he is, he doesn’t think about his sibling next to him; wobbly-lipped and glassy-eyed, curled in on herself like a broken-backed toad. All he knows how to be is a good son, a happy boy, and so he does as he’s told.

    If only he’d known what a mistake that would turn out to be.

    Summary

    There is an unspoken rule in the league—in every league, in probably every goddamn social game on the planet—don't snitch. If someone's got a problem with you, it's with you, and snaking your team on them does far more harm than good in the long run.

    "—Who tapped you? Who was it?"

    "Don't worry about it," Light spits through a smile, plenty worried about it. He's spent enough time on the ice to know that a stick-tap is the hockey equivalent of pistols at dawn.

    "…Was it Lawliet?"

    ———

    TL;DR I love hockey, and I love yaoi.
    This is my magnum opus.

    Post mortem auctoris (p.m.a.): after the author's death.

    The doctor’s a no-show after work, and Aventurine automatically assumes the worst. He… May have made a mistake along the way in doing so, he’ll admit. Many, actually.

    Or: Dr. Ratio does not take Professor Rond’s passing well. Aventurine holds an umbrella over his head as it rains.

    Summary

    They got married in this universe.

    Jayce grabs Viktor’s left hand, examining it. He looks at his own.

    Twin rings adorn their fingers, Viktor’s golden, Jayce’s silver, both holding a fragment of blue crystal in the middle.

    They’re married. They vowed their life to the other, they promised themselves to one another, they actually acted upon the deep-rooted emotions that coursed through the garden that was their relationship, that stubborn weed called love, that always came back no matter how many times you plucked it.

    ----
    or; what if it was Jayce who got to see his life in an alternate universe (now with an epilogue)

    Summary

    A weird part of Jayce looked forward to their fights. It was the only time he got to see Viktor. Or what ever it was that Viktor had become. Sometimes, it felt like before, when they worked together, those not-so-rare nights their brains were firing on all cylinders, and they finished each other’s thoughts and sentences and equations. Sometimes it felt like Viktor might kill him and Jayce thought that might be okay. If he were normal, he’d probably have stopped going into the field years ago. Conflict of interest plus several old injuries that made him slower (at least half were courtesy of Viktor) plus all the politicking he should actually be doing. But all of that was stupid, he’d worry too much about Cait, and, the quiet part he couldn’t tell her, he wouldn’t get to see Viktor.

     

    Ten years into the war, Viktor saves Jayce's life and Jayce finally shows up at Viktor's doorstep.

    Summary

    “I’ll make you a deal,” Ratio says. “You accept my treatment and I’ll grant you one wish.”

    “Now that doesn’t seem mighty fair, Doctor,” Aventurine laughs, “I have to sit through therapy, and I only get one wish?”

    “Anything you want,” Ratio interjects.

    Anything I want?” Aventurine echoes and Ratio nods.

    Aventurine dares to consider Ratio’s deal. There aren’t many things he wants in this world. Except one. Dr. Veritas Ratio. The one person Aventurine can’t read. The one chip Aventurine doesn’t dare gamble away. Ratio is the one card Aventurine keeps close to his chest. Aventurine wants to be ruined by him.

    “What if,” Aventurine wets his lips, testing the waters. His left hand is hidden skillfully behind his back. It trembles slightly. Aventurine balls it into a fist. “I want you?” He purrs.

    “That can be arranged,” Ratio mutters curtly, his cheeks pink. “Provided you successfully go through my treatment.”

    OR: Aventurine is obviously fine and Dr. Ratio is his therapist.

    Summary

    "Do not turn around."

    Ratio doesn't need to be told twice, for he already knows how the myth goes. He has braved the sea of Nihility once, and he'll do it again. Except, this time he has company... or so he hopes.

    "I trust that you are there, Aventurine."

    Silence.

    Or: Ratio is Orpheus, leading his dearest Eurydice out of the sea of Nihility after he's gambled his life away.

    Summary

    The thing about Plants is both humanity and the Plants themselves were still learning about them. A continuous mystery, never truly understood. For example neither Vash nor Knives knew when they both died they would once again be born into the world. Or that they would be the only ones who could remember their previous lives.

    Nai had decided to use these new cycles to try and repair his broken relationship with his brother and atone for his past mistakes. Trying to forget about as much of the past as he can. However he wasn't expecting to be forced to confront his past sins when Legato is suddenly thrusted into his life again.

    “Tecchou-san,” he choked out in a gasp, “I can’t–“

    But Tecchou simply stared at Jouno, rendered helpless at the sight unfolding in front of him.

    Desperate, Jouno sucked in a sharp breath, exhaled it in a panicked half-sob, and managed to increase his pulse even further. He opened his mouth, his brows furrowed, his face ashen pale. “I can’t hear–

    Tecchou’s mind blanked. He staggered backwards and felt his stomach drop to the bottom of his feet.

    “...What?”
