    Summary

    Eurydice performs a balancing act. Her starving-artist lover, her geriatric sugar daddy, said sugar daddy's alcoholic wife; everyone wants their pound of flesh. It’s a miracle she’s made it this far without falling on her face. But today is the day it all comes crashing down.

    At least I have the flowers of myself...

    Summary

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, or so they say. To describe beauty is to describe nothingness. Each to their own, a person's ideal beauty can not be compared to another's, such is what the Cornerstone Pearl had concluded from the generous amount of information she managed to find in Planarcadia's expansive social media network.

    This… makes things difficult.

     

    In which, Pearl hired Ashveil to be her muse

    Summary

    “Interesting that you would jump to the conclusion that I wished to bed your companion," Jing Yuan observed. "Would you believe my original question was merely intended to learn more about the two of you? You make a fascinating pair.”

    “Do not make the mistake of insulting my intelligence, General.” Ratio was having a difficult time holding himself back from saying anything that might endanger the goodwill of the Luofu. “Your interest in him is plain.”

    Jing Yuan seemed to regard Ratio then with a mixture of mutual respect and faint amusement.

    “No,” he admitted, a wry, catlike smile creeping across his face. “You’re not wrong, Doctor. You’re just not entirely right, either.”

    Ratio finds himself on his knees at the receiving end of a scintillating scheme orchestrated by his so-called business partner. One that vastly complicates his view of Aventurine's intentions towards him, and reveals just what (or who) Ratio is willing to do for Aventurine in turn.

    (Not abandoned! Author is slow.)

    Summary

    There has only ever been one person to have ever called Mydei by his nickname outside himself. One. Even Mydei doesn't know who that is, but it definitely couldn't be him, right? Not this guy who can barely figure out how to introduce himself. Not this bug-eyed creep who seems to know more about Mydei than he lets on despite never meeting him before. The name ‘Phainon’ doesn't ring a bell whatsoever. If he knows so much about Mydei then it should.

    Five years of his life, tucked away like some dirty secret. Five years Mydeimos spent in the dark with the strange relief that he never found anywhere else, that he continued to chase after but could never feel quite the same with anyone else. Under the dim lights of a hospital room, Mydeimos emerged with a new name, one granted to him by the voice who pulls him out of deep slumber and raised within him a single question: Who are you? 

    in which mydei is the runaway heir to the castrum kremnos mafia who is looking for his exiled exes and phainon is the jazz singer who drives him around and believes he's mydei's guardian angel... for some godforsaken reason.

    Summary

    “I wouldn’t say ‘friends,’ exactly.” was Kaveh’s usual answer when asked of his relationship with the current Acting Grand Sage, Alhaitham. In fact, he had no idea how to define their relationship―they weren’t friends, they were hardly colleagues, and he’d be damned if he let anyone find out he stayed in that man's house.

    As their strenuous relationship begins shifting from bickering roommates to something more intimate, that very relationship becomes all the more ill-defined...

    I.e. Kaveh is a terrible drunk and Alhaitham sucks at communication.
