Fortune Only Rules One Half by aleemaleewah

Summary
Your heart, which is made of crystal, what does it want?
Of course, they are still far away from the Sanctuary. The haven which will keep androids safe. Aventurine couldn’t just go alone, so the doctor had to rope himself with him as well. Their journey was long, arduous, and abruptly cut short. While at risk, Aventurine was shot, malfunctioned, and pulled away. Even during that entire catastrophe, luck follows. Ratio was able to drag him away, but it led to many abhorrent headaches.
It was a freak out. Panic struck and he needed to remain a level head at the moment. They are currently hiding at another secret place underneath rubble. Aventurine had always told him that no matter what, he could always be fixed. They still need to remain calm and conduct their plan. They were beyond more prepared for this day, yet they still struggle.
“... Worried about him?”
“Do your job.”
TLDR; Ratio takes Aventurine post Rota-Fortunae and tries reviving him with the help of a Memokeeper.

Summary
“You were hiding this from me,” Kaveh said quietly. “You lied to me. Why?”
“I wasn’t lying,” Al-Haitham corrected. It felt essential to highlight this. “Omitting, perhaps.” His voice cracked as he said it. He felt like he deserved the betrayal of it.
During an expedition to the desert, Al-Haitham is forced to deal with a bad flare-up of his IBS, which he has been hiding from Kaveh. When he does find out, however, things go a bit differently than Al-Haitham anticipated.

Summary
“You want Cyno,” Tighnari said, rubbing his temples, “to do what?”
“I need Cyno to pretend to be my boyfriend,” Kaveh said for the second time that dinner.
Otherwise known as Kaveh and Alhaitham’s absurd mating rituals, as experienced by Tighnari and Cyno.

Summary
“She'll need stability,” he says after a moment. He finds Aventurine's gaze over the girl’s head. “You'll need to figure out what you plan to do in this…venture of yours. We will deduce a plan of action once you’ve decided.”
There it is again, that casually spoken ‘we’.
Aventurine laughs weakly, plucking at a blue crayon. “Yeah,” he says. “Yeah, we will.”
Or:
Without a contingency to fall back on, Aventurine rescues an orphan from the wreckage of her home-world. Ratio, perceptive as ever, finds out.
And then helps.Bookmarked by multiusepogostick

Summary
The first time Aventurine manages to drop off a half-melted custom .44 Magnum at their new technical director’s office, he’s almost surprised the indigo-haired man doesn’t even blink an eye.
“In the ‘scrap’ bin, please,” Ratio says nonchalantly as he flicks through what is — presumably — a blueprint for his next project.
Aventurine can’t help himself. “Aw, you made a bin just for me?”
Aventurine may have one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but hey, he's always fine in the end. The same can't be said for the gadgets his tech director gives him, though... and that may be a bit of a problem for Ratio.
(Or, 5 times Aventurine fails to return Ratio’s equipment unscathed, and 1 time he doesn’t.)

These Golden Regrets by ThreeOfSpades (Third_Time_Charmed)
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
11 Feb 2026
Tags
Summary
"Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."
The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."
While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

Summary
“So it does speak,” someone exclaims, Kakavasha being too preoccupied with the hot metal that was swung in his direction to tell who it was. The man in the mustard suit approaches, chuckling to himself. “That name ain’t gonna help you where you’re going. Better to leave it at the door with the rest of your humanity.”
Aventurine has a nightmare about his past and the horrors he faced as a child.

Summary
Aventurine wants to laugh as he goes slack against Ratio’s side, but all that comes out is a pained wheeze.
A bullet, really?
There’s poetic justice in one finally managing to reach him only when it was meant for someone else.
–
When Aventurine finally manages to outrun his luck, it’s not the result of a grand scheme or one of his high-stake gambles. Instead, on what should have been a routine mission, he gets shot.Ratio is there to pick up the pieces.

The Unveiling of a Dying Star by almostjoyful

20 Jul 2024

Summary
Ratio turned to him with a hand placed on the doorframe. Now, he was the one choosing between protection and truth. Thankfully, there was a third option: marriage of the two. “I’ll miss your company when we have to move to another planet.”
He left out the part where he had started to buy lemon scented candles for Aventurine’s bedroom, which he otherwise hated. He left out the part where he made sure his bookshelf would arrive when Aventurine was home so the two could spend time together, even if it was something as mundane as the organization of literature. He left out the part where he ensured there were always apples in his kitchen now, as that seemed to be the only thing Aventurine ate for breakfast. He left out the part where he nearly crashed into an old Edo Star native in his rush to collect Aventurine from the bar. He left out the dreams, the thoughts, and everything else that mattered.
Maybe that was a bad choice. But it felt like the right one - the two are often opposites.
//
In which Aventurine and Dr. Ratio's schedules frequently align in a way that is constantly putting them both on the same planet, for better or for worse. And Ratio is NOT hopelessly in love.

Salivating Hound (Aventurine gets 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒚) by Omnia_Immortalis
Fandoms: 崩坏：星穹铁道 | Honkai: Star Rail (Video Game)
27 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
It all paled in comparison to what he had in front of him now: a kneeling man, looking up through his pretty lashes, face flushed.
“You're beautiful,” Aventurine breathed.
He reached down, gloved fingers holding onto a golden collar, gleaming maroon in the sunlight spilling through the window. It clicked, secure around Ratio's throat.
Aventurine watched him take a steadying breath. “It fits you well,” he murmured, curling his fingers into purple strands, “Veritas.”
Aventurine proposes a mutually beneficial agreement — stress relief for their upcoming mission in Penacony. What starts as indulgent lust bleeds into more; something he isn't prepared for at all. Dr. Ratio on the other hand is in for a wild ride of self discovery, ranging from bondage to how all-consuming love can feel.

Drunk and Stupid (but painfully honest) by entowento

Summary
Whatever Ratio had drunk, it must have been strong for him to be acting like this. “Yeah, Doc, it’s time you go to sleep-”
“I love you.”
Aventurine’s head whipped back into place to face Ratio. Those words couldn’t be real. Not coming out of Ratio’s mouth, and not directed towards Aventurine. He needed confirmation. He needed confirmation that this was real, he wasn’t dreaming, he wasn’t insane, he was here, he was real and that actually happened. Because not even in his wildest dreams would something as impossible as this occur. Desperately, Aventurine seized Ratio’s arms which were loosening around him as he looked to him for validation.
Aventurine stared at him in horror.
Ratio was passed out.
◇─◇──◇─◇
A drunk Ratio admits he loves Aventurine. Only Aventurine remembers the confession by the next morning.

Summary
Kaveh stared at him for one beat too long, then said, “You’ve got to be kidding.”
Alhaitham didn’t turn. “Hello to you too.”
“You’re on the panel.”
“Yes.”
“And you’re back in Sumeru.”
“My residency ended.”
Kaveh exhaled through his nose. “Of course.”
A year after an awful blind date, Kaveh ends up on a university panel with Alhaitham. They haven’t spoken since, but now they’re forced back into each other’s proximity—first onstage, then over email, and eventually in person, again. It goes about as well as expected.

Summary
Aventurine didn’t realize he was holding his breath until he crept into the kitchen and nearly choked on it at what he saw.
Hearts was covered in sugar, Clubs was licking a raw egg off of the floor, and Spades was in the process of trying to jump into a fresh pan of blueberry muffins, only just barely stopped by the chef himself holding the goods high above his head.
Veritas Ratio was in his kitchen, in the process of destroying the entire thing while attempting to make breakfast.

Summary
“Why didn’t you tell me?” asked Ratio, voice low.
Aventurine laughed again. “Why does it matter?”
“Gambler…”
Too soft. Too quiet. Too much like a secret on the verge of breaking. Not enough of a threat. The fear came clawing again, prodding at Aventurine, wondering, How to turn how to get away how to redirect?
Redirect.
“Ahh.” Aventurine let a smile slide across his face, slow and serpentine. He raised his voice to shatter the silence. “I know what you want.”
Ratio shows up outside of Aventurine's rooms after finding out Aventurine survived Penacony.

Summary
After an accident at work, Kaveh sort of dies. But he is granted a chance to come back to life if he can get three people to shed tears of pure love for him. He thinks that would be easy, since he has so many friends, but soon realises that it's not as easy as he thought it would be.
Meanwhile, a grieving Alhaitham is very confused by this new stranger in Sumeru City who acts so much like Kaveh, but is not Kaveh.
“Well, I promise you, Kaveh will be very okay with it. I’m sure of it.”
“If I’m not convinced, will you be suddenly bringing me a letter allegedly written by Kaveh that expresses his agreement?” Alhaitham asked with a raised eyebrow.
“That letter was written by Kaveh. One hundred percent. I don’t know why you keep doubting me,” Kaveh insisted.
Alhaitham hummed to himself. “Just wanted to see how you’d react.”Series
