Summary
On his first visit to Aurum Alley, Aventurine finds a popular small child he can escort around and performatively buy treats for so that everyone will associate him with food and generosity.
Meanwhile, Bailu finds an easy mark with deep pockets.

“No!” the young girl yells, throwing herself at his leg. “No! I was running ‘cause they’re chasing me! Don’t let them take me back!”
Well, that’s an entirely different story, isn’t it? He goes down to a knee again, already setting his hat on her head. “Who? Why?” He’s already spinning out exit strategies and flipping through the portfolio of gangs and criminals he’d read on the way over. The Xianzhou doesn’t have much in the way of organized crime but–
“They want me to work!” she wails. “And study! But I’m tired and I want snacks!”

Summary
Famed treasure hunter and pilot, Aventurine, crash-lands on a deserted island. Injured and exhausted, he only survives the ordeal thanks to the aid of the island's only resident: an oddly eloquent sea monster calling himself 'Veritas'.
In exchange, Veritas insists that Aventurine becomes his mate. Curious and quickly growing fond of this creature, Aventurine agrees to the proposal.
Except, does he really know what he's getting into...?

Summary
What ties him to this mortal world? What does it matter? He is not mortal. He does not delve into the hidden pleasures of hand-holding, or casual chatter with passersby, or settling down on fields of golden corn. This thing he holds, his burning star, that is him. That is him. That is his world.
Isn’t it?
“Would you be worse off?”
The prairie... the familiar shouts... and the smell of malt juice...
Most people lead lives of quiet desperation.
Boothill knows this better than most.or: Will you embrace a new life?

Summary
She turns to Jing Yuan this time because if the answer to her question lies anywhere, it is him.
"Where are Dan Heng and Stelle?"
Jing Yuan's eyes answer her before his voice does. She knows it'll be like this before the words even leave his mouth, but it hurts to hear all the same. The thought is so unbearable that the emotion bursts in her, fireworks of anger and sadness sparking in her vision.
Dan Heng and Stelle are trapped in the Shackling Prison, and at this point, it almost feels like it's March's job to worry.

Summary
“So then,” Boothill starts, setting down his glass. “Why are you here, Brutus? Got somethin’ to say about our great old Cesar?”
That should be the bone-and-marrow of their partnership. Hunger for hunger—thirst for thirst. Both parties perfectly aware of the other’s common wants; Oswaldo Schnieder’s head.
And since the beginning of it on Penacony, it has been. For the most part.
To indulge in more together beyond drinks would be treading on a dark, dangerous border; a pint of no return, one could say.
No good would come from discovering the taste of Aventurine’s belladonna kiss.
And still-living Aventurine has no business kissing the long-dead. And if there’s ever such a thing as a common want for a body that’s not Oswaldo, the smartest thing they could do would be to bury it.
So why does Aventurine throw the shovel?

Summary
Aventurine clicks his tongue as he continues to stare at the display. After a moment, he decides. “Two slices of the classic chocolate cake please. To go.”
Veritas’ hands work quickly, grabbing two boxes from the side and sliding open the display counter glass door.
“Ah yes, excellent choice to satisfy a sweet craving,” Veritas comments as he scoops up the slices, smiling as the chocolate cake is no longer whole.
“No no, it's not for me. I don't like sweets,” Aventurine says.
In which small cake shop owner, Veritas Ratio, pursues his sudden infatuation for a certain customer.

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
Ratio crosses his arms.
"And how many system years do you assume I have lived, gambler," he says, "that you think I've never encountered drinks of the alcoholic persuasion?"
"Oh–" Aventurine smiles. "There's drinking, and then there's drinking on the Planet of Festivities. You have done your reading, surely. The Dreamscape—naught more than all the glitz, glitter, and grandeur one could wish to see, from morn to dusk!" A spread of his hand, as if showing off a flash of invisible cards. "You should know that their fêtes are light-years away from your staid scholarly university gatherings."

Summary
"Children of the city sees only the neon stars, reflected upon the murky gutter sky - don't ask me why I desperately wish to be included in the city's night."
In the depths of the night he would crawl down from the marble steps and wade down into the sea, diving under in order to pick it up and hold it close to his chest in the privacy of his room. He drowned in the darkness of the midnight moon, in solitude, bubbles floating up to the surface of daytime. Veritas Ratio stayed there, holding the pearl that was half the size of his child body to his chest, wrapping his arms around it like how one would hold a friend. It pulsed under his fingertips, and he could ignore his own suffocation for just another moment to feel its warmth.

Summary
Crushes weren't for people like Aventurine. Love certainly wasn't. No, Aventurine couldn't afford to be in love, he had more important things to get to. Investments to make, assets to liquidate, missions to do.
Except, one thing was for certain. That he, Aventurine, had a crush on the good doctor. And he has no idea what to do about it.
(This was bad. This was really bad.)
Aventurine realizes he's in love with one Veritas Ratio and goes through the 5 stages of grief.

Summary
“You must be feeling better,” Ratio remarks, bringing Aventurine’s attention back to him.
Admittedly, he was, though the events of the night still left an indelible mark in his mind, the soft purring from the critters in his lap did wonders to steady him into the present. His mind still felt sluggish, the soft light in his room still seeming dim, and the weight of the cakes still somewhat lighter than he was used to, but the feeling was melting away.
It’s alright, you’re safe now.
For how long?

Summary
"Do not turn around."
Ratio doesn't need to be told twice, for he already knows how the myth goes. He has braved the sea of Nihility once, and he'll do it again. Except, this time he has company... or so he hopes.
"I trust that you are there, Aventurine."
Silence.
Or: Ratio is Orpheus, leading his dearest Eurydice out of the sea of Nihility after he's gambled his life away.

Summary
Boothill is a Starless Ranger; a born and raised hunter, specialized in killing monsters and all sorts of demons.
After losing a wager, he is now bound by contract to a Sorceress from the Garden of Recollection. Signed in his blood and all. When she calls, he has no choice but to follow.
…And this leads him to a quaint village up north from Belabog city. Complication immediately strikes.
No one in the village can remember the woman Boothill is looking for― the one he’s been chasing for Black Swan― and the local priest seems… odd.

Six months. This little outpost had more than enough food to sustain them for that long. Enough water, too. They'd be able to eat, drink, and bathe without needing to ration too much.
But six months was a long time. Especially considering Aventurine's next heat was due in one.
(Or: Aventurine and Ratio are stranded. Being of opposite dynamics was never an issue before, but it was about to be.)
