Summary
Aventurine makes it out of the abyss - and into a different world. Things are different here - simpler. There are no Aeons, no intergalactic factions and corporations, no Paths and Blessings. He is not naïve enough to assume that there is no cruelty and discrimination here - for there always is - but for the most part, everything is peaceful.
Here, Aventurine's priorities are getting people's coffee orders right. Fairly straight forward, if you ask him.
Except for the bit where he is surrounded by too many familiar faces, and they remind him of a place he can no longer return to. That's okay. People come and go, and so will they.
Except for the bit where they come and go and come back.
AKA. Aventurine gets dropped into a coffee-shop AU with all the memories from before. He's handling things until he's not handling things. That's okay, because he still has friends (and Dr Ratio) in this world. He just doesn't know it yet.

Summary
It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.
A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.
The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.
… And the deeper his emotions become.

Summary
He was leading a baby duckling to its slaughter.
Agent Ratio has never been one to disobey orders, nor has he ever hidden from the cruel nature of reality. But when he's told to 'take care' of the sole survivor of a shocking Company massacre, he can’t help but wonder…
… Is he… really okay with this?

Summary
Aventurine’s lips parted, a slow, wicked smile spreading across her face. The weariness was gone, replaced by the thrill of the game—their game. She leaned in even closer, the space between them now electric, thick with memory and want.
"The show's only over if you have a better offer on the table, Doctor," she breathed, her multi-colored eyes locking onto Ratio’s. "So, what's the wager tonight? Your place, or mine?"
***
A "relationship" born of convenience turned to desperation turned to... Ratio wanting to soothe Aventurine. To break the woman down the the fundamental core within—but will doing so ruin the safe distance they had built between each other?
