Summary
“Oh, uh, look,” Lighter says, his usual charm noticeably strained. “That’s really sweet, but I’m not exactly—uh—looking for anything like that right now. You know how it is, right?”
The girl’s expression crumples, and she fidgets with the bag. “But… you’re so cool, and I thought maybe—”
Wise exhales through his nose. He should just keep walking. This isn’t his business. But there’s something about seeing Lighter flounder for once that’s both amusing and a little uncomfortable.
Before he knows it, Wise is stepping in. “Hey, there you are.”
Lighter’s head snaps up, relief flashing across his face. “Manager! Just the guy I wanted to see.”
Lighter’s the center of attention with the girls, and Wise doesn’t really know how to feel about it.

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
The sweetness he’d been searching for wasn’t the candy, not really. It wasn’t that brief burst of sugar or the old habit of lighting up—it was the quiet presence of something more enduring. It was the memory of family long gone, the love he once had, and the bond he still felt. And it was the man standing in front of him now, who had unknowingly filled the void that smoking had once tried to fill.

Summary
Lighter leans casually against the kitchen counter, arms crossed and sunglasses perched on his nose even indoors. “It’s not the Ritz, but it beats sleeping in a Hollow.”
Wise drops his bag by the wall and smirks. “You sure about that? Pretty sure I’ve seen more square footage in a sub-Hollow.”
Lighter chuckles, pushing himself off the counter to grab a bottle of water. “Hey, I didn’t have to offer you a place to crash. Thought you’d be grateful.”
“I’d be grateful if you didn’t charge me rent for half your couch,” Wise shoots back, but his tone lacks any real bite. He knows this is a favor, and he’s not about to push his luck.
A few days of cohabitation change their dynamic in ways that Wise and Lighter never would have imagined.

Summary
Lighter Lorenz's body runs hot, almost unnaturally so
(Or, a piece about Lighter's unnaturally high body heat that slowly spiralled into an introspection and ramble about Lighterwise and their relationship together)
