    Summary

    After rising to the top of her cohort, Stelle earns the coveted opportunity to serve the royal Stoneheart family. During the Binding Oath ceremony, she is assigned to Prince Aventurine, whose charm conceals a jaded heart and a long history of knights who have failed to endure his reckless ways. To him, Stelle is just another name destined to fade into obscurity.

    Within the palace walls, nothing is always as it seems. Rivalries among the heirs threaten to tip the balance of power, whispers of hidden ambitions grow louder, and danger brews in places no one dares to look. Bound to a prince who refuses to trust her, Stelle must prove her worth while navigating a court where loyalty is fragile and survival is never guaranteed. Will she break the cycle? Or will she be another fleeting presence in Aventurine's life like a shooting star?

    Summary

    "Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."

    The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."

    While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

    Summary

    “The IPC is holding their annual Amber Ball in a month. Of course, I’m invited. The problem is that I’m lacking a plus one, so to speak.”

    “…and you need my help in finding someone for you, or…?”

    Aventurine mindlessly fiddled with his watch, but his suggestive gaze held firm and steady on her. “Mm, yeah, I guess you could say I need your help again…” he teased out.

    Her face slowly flushed, but she didn’t care if he noticed. Her impatience overpowered it.

    “Don’t tell me I really do have to play matchmaker between you and someone else. Or play the bodyguard for you and your date or something –”

    “Isn’t it obvious?” Aventurine folded his hands in front of him. “I’m asking you to do me the honor of being my date for the ball, Miss Stellaron.”

    His date?

    -------
    Aventurine desperately needs a date for the upcoming IPC Amber Ball, but no one is lining to be the gambler’s date anytime soon and he has to choose within a month of his tight schedule. After exhausting his options, there was only one person he could think of talking to, and he hoped she would accept.

    Summary

    you’ll be alright (as long as i’m not)

    “Goodbye Aventurine.”

    Aventurine sat at the table, hands trembling, as Ratio stood up, the chair screeching horribly loud in the silence and left. The pancakes, which had tasted like an expression of love just five minutes ago, now tasted like cardboard in his mouth. The cream and butter had melted slightly in their dishes, dripping onto the plate like blood from a slit wrist onto a tiled floor.

    This can’t be happening.

    Veritas Ratio never loved you.

    Summary

    “Your luck is paid for with the bl▇od of oth▇rs. It’s always been like this. Why are yo▇ sudd▇nly afr▇▇d of th▇ tr▇th?” He cared. More than he wished he did. He thought he managed to kill his emotional attachment to people long ago. It didn’t do him any good and now was no different. If it had truly disappeared, he would just mindlessly indulge in Ratio’s touch and leave once he got tired of him. But he simply couldn’t, because somehow Ratio had actually managed to become important to him.

    Aventurine finds himself with a little crush on his co-worker Veritas Ratio. He tries his best to dismiss it, after all it's stupid to have a crush on someone who doesn't even like you all that much, especially if you're supposed to work with them. Unfortunately it doesn't quite work and seems to go deeper than Aventurine would like it to. But Ratio wouldn't possibly like him back..., right?

    Summary

    признаваться авантюрину в чувствах – то же самое, что брать лезвие и вести по шее ровной, аккуратной линией. авантюрин же на самом деле такой пугливый – зайчонок, у которого не зажили лапы. зайчонок, который все равно убежит, если проявить к нему нежность. сломает кости, раздробит себе зубы, разорвет сухожилия.

    но убежит.

    Summary

    “What advice, dear doctor?” Aventurine teases.

    “To stay alive, of course.” The doctor huffs.

    “My luck won’t fail me that easily, doc~ You ought to know that by now,” Aventurine flirts. He doesn’t know why, but Topaz tells him that he flirts with everyone.

    “One more insensible thing that comes out of your mouth, and I will show up at your doorsteps.”

    Summary

    “A Doctor of Chaos?” Aventurine echoes, rereading the letter Veritas has handed him. The seal of the IPC presses into the paper, accompanied by a torrent of words that, to the gambler’s eyes and ears, mean absolutely nothing.

    Veritas shrugs, loosening his grip on the luggage. “That would be me.”

    Aventurine arches an eyebrow and reads it again, for the fourth time:

    As a Senior member of the Department of Strategic Investment and one of the Ten Stonehearts, we are pleased to inform you, Aventurine of Stratagems, that you have been assigned a Doctor of Chaos until you have recovered from the traumatic events in Penacony. Doctor Veritas Ratio will attend to your mental and physical well-being for as long as deemed necessary. Until then, your leave shall remain paid, for no more than three hundred and sixty-five days, at which point medical assistance may be renewed.
     
    Respectfully,
     
    Strategic Investment Department

    Or: Aventurine and Ratio become roommates after the events of Penacony. And, it seems, Ratio is his Doctor of Chaos.

    Summary

    Long ago, in a land far away within the forests and the deserts, there was a kingdom. Something special was happening in this kingdom. Two identical babies were born. One, a prince born in in the royal family, and the other born in the desert to a nomad family.

    Two very different lives that were so far from each other, it was no surprise the prince and the pauper had never met.

    But destiny had other plans.

    Summary

    Flowers are strange, beautiful things.
    Colorful, silent beings.
    Elegant, graceful blooms.
    Blossoms that only speak with an honest tongue.

    Aventurine and Ratio has lived together for almost a year. So far, they would share the sentiment that life together has been simple yet enjoyable. They're close friends, as they would say.

    Except sometimes, some things can blossom in a close relationship.

    And, they can also come out of someone's mouth.

    Summary

    Alright, he’d bite. Aventurine took a deep breath, wincing when it worsened the itch in his throat. “You said it's caused by—” He paused, schooling his expression into one of careful neutrality. “—unrequited feelings.”

    “Yes.”

    Dawn-colored eyes flashed through Aventurine's mind. “Let's suppose I really have this disease. What’s the cure?”

    Reyes adjusted his glasses, taking his sweet time putting away his medical equipment. Aventurine bit the inside of his cheek to keep from grabbing the man’s shoulders and shaking him so he’d stop stalling.

    “There is no known cure other than for the afflicted person’s feelings to cease, or for their affections to be returned,” he finally said.

    Aventurine threw his head back and laughed.

    Shortly after returning from Penacony and resuming his no strings attached relationship with Ratio, Aventurine starts coughing up flowers.
