Summary
“Ah,” Aventurine said, rubbing his arm, “so that’s why they had us refresh all our vaccinations before this trip. We’re not in any danger of falling ill, are we? I’d hate to ruin such a nice vacation.”
“It’s unclear,” Ratio said. Aventurine side-eyed him, looking less relaxed now. But if those folktales had any merit to them at all, “more likely, no.”
They were approaching the town now, inclined turquoise shingles peeking out over the edges of the treeline. It seemed like every building here was overgrown with flowers—flowers burst from the vines on white stucco walls, bouquets hung from the bucket-laden stalls at every corner, and almost all the windows were decorated with boxes abundant with blooms.
“It’s beautiful, but,” he grimaced, voicing Ratio’s thoughts aloud, “a little morbid, isn’t it?”
To a scientist, mythology and fairy tales are simply veneers that warp and obscure the truth. And to a doctor, diseases are problems that can be solved with logic rather than love.

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
And then, the unimaginable happens.
Aventurine, his roommate, the man he only occasionally speaks to for more than minutes at a time, leans over in their shared bed, and kisses him. A brief peck, leaving Veritas no time to react and his world spinning.
"Wait." He says firmly, giving his roommate pause. "Why did you do that?"
Aventurine snorts, and his lips twitch like he's trying not to smile. "You told me you love me. You don't remember?"
The air knocks itself out of Veritas' lungs. "I…I what?"
The countdown to one Veritas Ratio telling his roommate that he loves him, and the days after.

Summary
Without fail, Ratio finds him after every project, at every bar and casino. He drags Aventurine back to his hotel or penthouse, plying him with water and food until Aventurine is almost eating three meals a day.
Each night, Aventurine is lulled to sleep by Ratio’s irritated scolding, and every morning, he wakes to a tall glass of water and hangover pills on his nightstand, with breakfast pre-made and waiting in the fridge.
One night, after Ratio leaves, Aventurine coughs. It must be allergies.
Or:
Aventurine has Hanahaki.

Summary
He pauses, lifting the box higher, offering it to him. “Kakavasha, I have always been yours. But… will you be mine?”
Kakavasha stares at Veritas.
He stares at him for a long moment, after which he cracks a tiny smile. A smile that only grows. Soon it expands into laughter. It’s an empty sound, and it bubbles in his chest like the sparkling wine that must be messing with his head. “Doctor,” he chuckles, holding the rose against his heart, “I… I’m starting to think you might like me.” And that can’t be right.
...in which Veritas is helplessly in love, and Kakavasha couldn't be any more oblivious.
