    Summary

    One man is searching for something- someone- who helps him feel alive again. One man is searching for help to keep his life's dream alive.

    Somehow, they come together and the help they need gets found. Just in time for Christmas.

    (This was made for es21secretsanta, but it got too massive! The first 2000~ words were posted up on tumblr. The rest was finished and posted up here. MERRY CHRISTMAS!)

    Summary

    “I still don’t think Akaba’s heartbroken over me, that makes zero sense and isn’t smart at all,” Koutarou says, snapping his comb closed. “He hates everything about me!”

    “The two of you were the pillars of the Bandou Spiders,” Unsui says quietly, steepling his fingers together. “Without the two of you, the Bandou Spiders would have collapsed long before. You can’t hate someone after you’ve been through something like that together.”

    Or post-canon, in college, Koutarou realizes that Akaba is in love with him, and that maybe, he has some feelings for his rival as well. He just has to convince Akaba of them first.

    Summary

    “It doesn’t matter, because I’m taken!” Ratio clarified, hoping the lie wasn’t obvious on his face. Neither Aventurine or Topaz seemed to buy that though, as both raised their eyebrows at him, exchanging a glance. “What? It’s true.”

    “Oh yeah? Who?” Topaz said it more as a statement than a question, already confident she wouldn’t get an actual answer. And to be fair, at first Ratio didn’t have an answer. Then, like a thought sent from Nous themselves, he had the best idea.

    “Screwllum,” Ratio said confidently, turning to grab the construct's arm, dragging him to stand by his side, and hooking their arms together.

    Summary

    Ratio had been feeling sick for a while. His throat was itchy and sore, and no medicine seemed to stop his constant coughing. It disrupted his classes for a couple of days when he stayed home to ensure it wasn’t contagious, but he was soon able to go back to teaching, albeit with a cough interrupting his lecture every couple of minutes.

    He honestly thought that it was just a bad cold that wouldn’t go away.

    The purple petal that landed on Aventurine’s desk a month later proved that assumption incorrect.

    Summary

    Trying to sit up, he lost his balance a little. It was no surprise, for when he looked slightly to his left, all he found was the stump of his amputated left arm. Good, he thought. At least the doctors here weren’t totally incapable. If they waited for Ratio to wake up before deciding to amputate his arm, who was to say that its blackened, corrosive state—not unlike the tar that insect spat up—wouldn’t travel upwards and infect his whole body? It was the logical thing to do.

    Ratio made a choice and lost an arm for his troubles. This will impact his life moving forward, but not all the consequences are detrimental. At least not if Screwllum has anything to say about it.
