    Summary

    Sunday shrugs. “I have little to my name,” he says. “Ask of me what you will.”

    Aventurine taps his fingers against the glass. “Okay,” he says. “How about this. Play a game with me.”

    (For reasons of her own, Jade got Sunday released into her employ. He runs into Aventurine at an IPC gala, and as a way to at least partially make up for past actions, Sunday agrees to a game of blackjack with questions as the ante, assuming he'll lose every round. It turns out Aventurine's company isn't unpleasant.)

    Summary

    Sunday narrowed his eyes imperceptibly. Aventurine was certainly as capricious as others described him. “I don’t make a habit of gambling.” He forced out his next words. “But…I suppose I would be amenable.”

    “I'm glad you came around.” Aventurine let the poker chip fall and leaned forward. His eyes were hypnotic under the headache inducing lights. Almost soothing, even. “Even if you don’t gamble, isn’t the idea of taking a risk exciting? Winning or losing everything…all determined by chance.”

    Sunday scoffed softly, allowing himself to emote freely for the first time that night. Now that he and Aventurine had made a deal, he had slightly more wiggle room. “I don’t take risks, Mr. Aventurine. With my plans, nothing is left up to chance. When I play, I play with the utmost certainty that I will win.”

    He and Aventurine made searing eye contact for what felt like an eternity before the blond man huffed out a laugh and broke it. “You’re an interesting one.” He said, bemused.

    A ghost of a smile crossed Sunday’s face. “I could say the same about you, Mr. Aventurine.”

    Their game had already begun.

    Summary

    He inhales sharply, desperately clinging to a semblance of control. “What are you doing?”

    Aventurine laughs. “What does it look like? We’re propositioning you.”

    Sunday shakes his head free from Aventurine’s grasp. “This—This is not—”

    “Not what you and Ratio agreed on? Oh, I know,” Aventurine replies airily, condescendingly placing a hand on Sunday’s shoulder. His tone shifts to something gentler. “Don’t worry, we’ll be cooperative. Do you want us to tell you what we’re planning to do? We won’t do anything you don’t like, Sunday. As I said… mutually beneficial.”

    In which the deal between Aventurine, Dr. Ratio, and Sunday goes slightly differently and Sunday learns that threatening people isn't the only way to get them to help him out.

    Summary

    As soon as his wounds from Penacony had healed, Aventurine had hopped on the chance to take on another task. If you asked him, there was no better time to take life by the reins, no matter what Topaz said about him being a workaholic. And nobody had a better track record with honey traps than the Avgin himself.

    To track down a troublesome underground organization, Ratio and Aventurine form yet another alliance. A moment of weakness lands Aventurine in a situation he never thought he'd face again.

    Summary

    Sex meant nothing to Aventurine... but it was a nightmare to someone named Kakavasha, hidden away under walls of amber and coin where no one could ever hurt them again. So far, unfortunately, that no one could find them to be loved again either.

    And then one day, a man named Dr. Veritas Ratio appeared.
