Veritas Ratio and the Blessed Gambler by tuttlebirdy

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.

i'll race you to the graveyard by A_Confused_Kitten

Summary
“Aventurine is none of your concern,” he says, plainly, “and frankly, it's not my job to track his whereabouts.” He turns to Stelle, and if March didn't know better, she'd almost say his gaze softened. “As for why I am taking his place, the IPC is a sponsor of the Intelligentsia Guild, and my knowledge makes me the best substitute.”
And that makes some sense, March supposes. It's not like they know what Aventurine was doing behind the scenes, so why would they need to know what was going on with him now? They don't even know him, really, so why does something feel so wrong?
Before March gets a chance to voice her thoughts, Himeko is stepping forward, a diplomatic smile on her face. “We look forward to working with you, Doctor,” she says, “It's been a while since the Express has partnered with the Guild.”
“Send our regards to Aventurine,” Welt says, chiming in. “He seemed very invested in Penacony, and it'd be a shame if he's been reassigned.”
Something bitter flashes through Ratio's eyes. “It would be, wouldn't it,” he says flatly, “I'll give him your regards.”

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.”

zero-day exploit by meathermac for Azure_Ace
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
09 Aug 2024
Tags
Summary
zero-day exploit (n.)
a vulnerability in software or hardware that is unknown to the vendor and for which no patch or other fix is available, named so because it can be exploited quickly, giving the vendor zero days to respond to the issue.
♤
“Look, I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, but we’re both here ‘cause we’re running away from something. And if you’re like me, and you don’t want to be found, Punklorde can help you with that.”
(or: aventurine makes a different choice, sets his life on a new trajectory, and still manages to find and fall in love with dr. veritas ratio.)

Across the Cosmos and Case Files by ThatAverageFangirl
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
19 Oct 2024
Tags
Summary
Aventurine finally forced his eyes from Ratio’s hand, up to his waiting stare. As this little planet continued to turn, continued its predetermined revolutions, the waning light hit them both just right, and Aventurine could have sworn that Ratio’s eyes held sparks in them. Sparks like solar flares, like the light of knowledge, like flickering lamplight in a library.
A thousand questions and words fought in Aventurine’s mind, but only one made it out into the air.
“Are you sure?”

Summary
Aventurine, once Kakavasha, lived twenty-eight years, or close to it. Aventurine, never Kakavasha, has existed for slightly over one year. He’s spent most of it at peace. Most of it.
But that first week of existence crawls in his veins, and now the knowledge of what led to it adds to the pile. And the twenty-eight years before that weren’t much better, were they?
So what reason does he have, to cling to mortal life. What would he miss? Its vulnerabilities are too great. Far better to take a different path. Shed the unnecessary.
(A year after the events of "consonance", Aventurine has regained almost all of his original memories--except for gaps scattered across the last five years. After joining his benefactors as a Memokeeper, Aventurine decides to go looking for the subject of these missing memories: some guy named Veritas Ratio, who he's pretty sure is just some coworker his old self didn't really get along with. It turns out he's wrong about that.)

Summary
The Ten Stonehearts of the IPC's Strategic Investment Department aren't all that close - at least, not according to the Pier Point rumour mill or interastral tabloids. Emotional connections between them would only be a weakness in their... riskier transactions, so it works out nicely that the best thing you can really say about any of their relationships is that they're professional and cordial.
And those who might say differently rarely get a chance to tell the tale.Series

Summary
The cruelest thing about the Nameless was that they made it so easy to pretend that Sunday belonged. They fed that greedy, stupid, childish thing that cried out from within him, tossing enough scraps of amity for him to piece them together into something that felt like home. The curtains only closed when Sunday lay awake at night and stared at the ceiling of the bedroom that wasn’t really his, and he remembered that it started like this and could only end like this: with him, alone in the dark.
Sunday is found by the Astral Express Crew after fleeing Penacony. He accepts their offer to join, and realizes that
a. fitting into this tight-knit group is likely impossible
b. trouble finds the Trailblazers no matter where they go.or, the chronicle of the Astral Express trying, failing, and trying again to fit Sunday into their family.

Summary
Aventurine huffed, “Isn’t there anyway to reverse this or something as a Dominant myself?”
“Not without him being present as well since you oh so brilliantly chose a Dominant as your one-night stand. You’ll need him to break the bond by scarring over the mating mark.”
-------------------
When an Omega Aventurine offers an Alpha Dr. Ratio a one-time deal to get the doctor indebted to him, the gambler gets a little more than he bargained for. With his newly bonded mate now thousands of star systems away on a two month expedition, Aventurine must now suffer the consequences of his gamble alone.

On the surface, heir to a famous Halovian family, Sunday, is Penacony’s most renowned Alpha. And he is every bit the part, except for the fact that he was actually born an omega. With an impending engagement with another omega upcoming, he works to resolve the issue of having an heir.
The Floating Dream Palace in Penacony’s red light district turns out to be the solution to all of his problems.
But things become complicated when he starts developing unnecessary feelings for the man whose seed he is about to borrow.

A dream is too cruel of a sentence for you by IchiroIsCoolGuy

Summary
“This time… I am dealing with fertilized eggs.” The accusing gaze he shot Gallagher was supposed to make him feel bad, but the Hound just found it cute. Sunday was scary in a lot of scenarios – just not in this one.
“Lemme guess: My fault,” Gallagher responded with the biggest shit-eating grin he could manage. This time, Sunday openly hissed at him, and that was an answer in itself already.
“Yes,” Sunday gasped, before he let his head rest against Gallagher’s shoulder, breathing his scent. “These eggs… are way bigger. I can’t get them out.”
“Y’know, next time you should warn me when I’m about to father like what? Seven little birdies?”
The Charmony Festival approaches, the fates of multiple people are about to clash with each other, and conflicts reminiscent of Penacony's bloody history are about to break out-
And it is of course in this time of conflict that Sunday had to get knocked up by his Head of Security.
Sunday makes sure that Gallagher takes full responsibility - and Gallagher delights in every opportunity to make yet another distasteful bird pun.- Language:

Summary
Forced to retire early from the military after a bullet to the hip leaves him unfit for duty, Jing Yuan has to relearn his way around civilian life. Along with the change in rhythm, he finds himself thinking about things he'd long since thought dead and buried; like having a family, kids of his own. . .
But all this seems a distant dream, meant for someone younger, softer, someone who isn't battle-worn and weary like him. That is, until a familiar face from his past returns to shine a kinder light on Jing Yuan's future.

Caelus knows that he's an extra fancy container for space cancer, really.
There's not much else to him besides the Stellaron - not even an identity to begin with.But there's this line in Herta's report -
[...] Further data suggests that the body of the test subject was not created from scratch, but based on a viable human template [Selection criteria unknown] [...]
And Caelus was born curious.
