BREAKING NEWS: Giant Burns Through Downtown Tokyo: Emergency Broadcast
by Kudo Shinichi, April 10
MINATO WARD, Tokyo — A giant blazing figure is moving through the south-eastern warehouse district. Emergency management officials have declared a state of emergency and are ordering the immediate evacuation of all surrounding areas. I.S.H.A. emergency response team Irregulars are currently engaging the colossus. All civilians and non-emergency personnel, including non-licensed metahumans, are required to immediately vacate the district.
Fumbling one-handed with his phone as the helicopter lurched to the side, investigative reporter Kudo Shinichi barely managed to hit 'post' as the blast of fire caught the rotors and sent them plummeting from the sky.
The wonders of real-time journalism, he mused as they careened towards a fiery death.

Summary
He’d like to meet a Pepeshi someday, though, to see an even starker example of how different the rest of the universe can be from Sigonia. What must their home planet be like, with an infrastructure catered to the height of a child? Or planets like Thalassa, covered in endless water--the technological wonders of Planet Screwllum--the memoria-drenched dreamland of…
Of…
Ah, but he’s too curious for his own good. Sigonia has everything he needs, and plenty of its own fascinations, besides.
(Aventurine was still on Penacony when the Order's paradise unfolded, but he keeps having moments of lucidity. Paradise isn't as nice when you know it isn't real.)

Summary
He savors the silence in the middle of the storm until he feels the familiar scent. A mountain freshness that makes him turn his head to follow the scent that is so close, so close, so near, so—
Dr. Ratio, standing alone in the middle of the bowed crowd; the only one not bowing his head, the only one looking him right into his eyes.
The heavens defy him, making the storm grow stronger and stronger, but he still stands steady in the same place, not allowing nature to sway his judgment. I see you, hears Kakavasha again, I see you, passes the wind from mouth to mouth to him.
I see only you, Dr. Ratio repeats one last time, keeping his promises, and this time Kakavasha finds no reason not to believe it.
or, canon-divergent AU! where in Aventurine is the High Priest of Gaiathra Triclops.

Summary
Urban legend has it that a cunning and elusive witch in Penacony that has a miraculous power to make your wildest dreams come true. It is instead a blonde man in a gaudy fur-lined jacket that greets Ratio from a cheap looking foldable poolside chair at an equally tacky casino resort.
“Well, doctor, I’m quite sorry that I don’t live up to the visuals you were expecting, but I assure you my little parlor tricks are real. I can give you everything you want, and— everything you don’t want.”

Summary
Superstitious people read power into threes. A witch always grants three wishes, a curse always lasts three days, and Xipe's glimmering melody manifests with three faces. There is some abstract truth to it all, even to Ratio's mathematical mind. A prime always exudes a sense of finality—or perhaps importance—because it refuses to be factored down into something smaller. It demands respect.

Summary
Everything Aventurine said and did was to elicit another response with which he could construct his profile on Dr. Veritas Ratio. Naturally, Veritas left their first interaction as quickly as he could for his own safety.
But he slept with Aventurine a week later.
After Aventurine is hospitalized, Dr. Veritas Ratio moves to the Intelligentsia Guild’s Pier Point location to monitor his recovery. There, Veritas learns two things:
1) He might need help navigating the social circles in Pier Point.
2) A fully recovered Aventurine of Stratagems is a force to be reckoned with.Series

An Asymptotic Approach to the Universe by DiamondJackdaw

Summary
“You might want to review your contract,” Aventurine said, with an easy smugness that evoked pure Schadenfreude. “Funny little thing called a spontaneous travel contingency clause. Up to 80 hours of on-site consulting—paid, of course—if the asset liquidation specialist deems it economically valuable.”
When the IPC’s newest Stoneheart drags Ratio along on a debt case seemingly for no reason other than his own amusement, Ratio wastes no time adding Aventurine to the list of people he’d strangle if it wouldn’t jeopardize his career. Upon their arrival on Xin-41, however, Ratio begrudgingly deems his contempt for the planet’s intellectual oligarchy stronger than his contempt for his insufferable colleague. Even more begrudgingly, he finds himself drawn in by the web of mysteries lurking not just within the Slinkans’ ivory tower, but within the depths of Aventurine’s dangerously inscrutable mind.
Through deadly equations, volatile spices, and the ‘warning’ of a brutalized corpse left out under the summer sun, Xin-41’s insolvency reveals itself as something deeply sinister, with threads tying back to the early days of the IPC... and to one of the Intelligentsia Guild’s most infamous scholars.

Ratio nods. “Good,” he says. “No heavy machinery or other potentially dangerous tasks. I wouldn’t recommend travel, either. Set alarms to remind yourself to eat, if necessary.”
“Just stay at home and do nothing,” Aventurine says dully. “Sounds like a great way to fix Wanting To Do Nothing disease.”
(Those who step into the shadows of IX become Self-Annihilators, drained of the will to live and desiring only their own death. After Penacony, Aventurine's not feeling so hot.)

Summary
Aventurine is stuck in a time loop on the day of his “death.”
After forty cycles of failed attempts to get time moving forward, he decides to take a break from solving the mystery and blow off a little steam with Ratio. But the doctor’s reaction to what Aventurine intends to be a casual hook-up raises deep issues for both of them and ends up dragging Ratio into the time loop.
To break free, they will have to cooperate. Productive communication, however, turns out to be a much bigger challenge than the time loop itself.

Summary
If his eyes could glow, he'd most certainly sell them. Anyone would be a fool not to.
When his information and photo is put onto a black market website with a hefty sum for his head, it is Aventurine himself who takes on the task of infiltrating the market with the intent to either raze it to the ground, or turn it into something profitable for the IPC. Truly, the only entertaining element is that it is Veritas Ratio who must follow him through a swarm of hunters waiting to sink their claws deep into his throat.

Summary
Three sharp knocks punctuate the pitter-patter of the rain outside. Strange. Ratio isn’t expecting any deliveries or guests at this hour. He peers through the peephole and freezes.
Three long years after his disappearance in Penacony, Aventurine stands at Ratio’s doorstep with a casual, lopsided grin.
Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Unimaginable.
Numb fingers open the door before caution can intervene. Aventurine, the eternal outlier, opens his mouth.
“Schrödinger looked in the box; I live.”

Summary
Dr. Veritas Ratio, a marine biologist working with the Jade Center for Marine Wildlife Conservation, has hit a dead end.
After over ten years of fighting a losing battle, trying to convince the common people to care about the world's oceans, he was beginning to grow disillusioned with his work. He had spent so much of his life focused on this goal - was any of it worthwhile? What's the point in trying to protect something that so few people seem to care about?
However, when one of the team's research trips leads to the discovery of a strange new species — a humanoid, semi-aquatic creature calling himself 'Aventurine' — Veritas is forced into action. An important truth about the world existed within the mystery of Aventurine's origin, and he was going to do whatever it took to uncover it.
But the sea does not give up her secrets so easily, and neither does Aventurine. There were many obstacles standing between Veritas and the answers he's been seeking, and some involve acknowledging uncomfortable truths about himself that he's been avoiding.

Summary
“I’ll be frank, Doc, this whole adventure has been a bit much,” Aventurine said in a fit of honesty, distractedly picking at the patch of vitamins and assorted good stuff that the nurses had insisted on gluing to his arm. “Too much. I’m tempted to quit and leave it all behind.”
“Then do it.” Ratio’s response had him snicker. It was very much like him to tackle complex problems with the simplest, driest of answers. “If you’re willing to walk the talk, I know of a place you can go.”
He raised an eyebrow, preemptively amused. Surely that was the moment the doctor would say something nasty. He’d been holding back for the past minute so, going by his estimates, it was about time. “I’ll take a guess: my home planet?”
“Mine.”
(After one too many trips to hell and back, Aventurine is tired. He retires from public life and moves into the estate of a

The Fools live by a rule: the entire world is just one big circus. Veritas would say that the punchline is his life, in particular.
In which Dr Veritas Ratio earns the dubiously revered gaze of The Elation, becomes an Emanator, and is subsequently "blessed" with the worst luck any single man could possibly have while still surviving to tell the tale.
