Summary
Aventurine nods, curiously waiting for Ratio to elaborate. Is Ratio planning to read to him? That is the sort of activity Ratio would consider leisurely, albeit rather mundane. Still, Aventurine muses, Ratio does have a pleasant voice, so it wouldn't be so bad.
With a determined nod, Ratio extends his hand expectantly, the other hovering over the book he had placed on the ladder earlier. After a moment's hesitation, Aventurine accepts.
As Ratio's hand touches the book, Aventurine feels a sudden lurch, and that's all the warning he gets before they're falling.
Or:
Veritas Ratio possesses the unique ability to enter the world of any book he touches. He uses it to take Aventurine on not-dates.

Summary
Attempting to lighten the mood, Aventurine playfully bumps their shoulders together as they walk. Ratio flinches, as if affronted by the contact. “I’m sure you’ll change your mind after a refreshing swim and a few cocktails at the bar.”
“Coming from you, I ought to consider that a threat,” Ratio mutters, and Aventurine thinks he detects the faintest hint of amusement in his tone.
Oh, Aventurine will definitely get the doctor to loosen up more.
Following their tribulations in Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio receive an unexpected gift from Jade—a much-needed vacation at at the most exclusive resort in the cosmos.
With only each other, the sun, and the beach for company, it's a stark contrast to their everyday lives. As they struggle with the complicated shift in their relationship, a disappearance at the hotel, and the constant battle to keep their emotions in check, it all threatens to unravel completely.

Summary
“Ratio?” he asks, stepping a bit closer. “It’s me, Aventurine. Are you… do you want to go home?”
At the mention of his name, Ratio stills, a light startle in his step as he turns to face Aventurine. He drops his hands, lacing them back together in front of him. He looks dazed, normal intensity lost from his eyes as they open glassy and vacant. They flex wide with recognition, but he doesn’t say anything.
Ratio goes quiet, and Aventurine doesn't know what to do.

Summary
(Inspired and based off the French poem collection Les Chansons de Roses by Lauridson)
Veritas Ratio, a man of honesty and truth, finds himself having to harbor a secret. As much as he loathes straying from the truth, this is a matter of his own life or his own death.
And perhaps, a matter of a certain gambler's life or death as well.
{In which Veritas Ratio grows ill with Hanahaki Disease and makes a promise to himself he tries his best to keep.}

Summary
Veritas Ratio has never held much interest in the human body – not when it relates to attraction, affection, or want. He’s rarely wanted someone, rarely admired a body for reasons beyond aesthetic appreciation, can count on one hand the times it grew into something more and then how quickly it disappeared. Like a formula to decipher a pattern solved long ago.
He expects the same this time. For a fleeting trace of desire to come and go like it always does. But he should have anticipated that this time would be the exception. Because whenever Aventurine of the Ten Stonehearts is involved, every hypothesis and conclusion Ratio has finalised is fragmented and dissolved by a disarming smile and sharp eyes.
[Or: The arduous journey of Veritas Ratio coming to accept that he has a thing for Aventurine’s hands… and Aventurine himself.]
