Summary
[...T]ake a rut and combine it with a post-performance high and the intoxicating pheromone mess that is an omega sitting right at the cusp of a preheat. This is Zeal’s current reality, and it is nothing short of hell, in his personal opinion.

Summary
As a bartender — and also, most importantly, a normal human being with his own life experiences —Zeal was keenly familiar with the concept of want.
i.e. the one where Zeal has a complicated relationship with the love
and may be too comfortable with yearning.

Summary
One day, Topaz comes in with a white-haired girl tagging along behind her, and the first thing Aventurine says is, “there’s no way you could have had a kid since the last time I saw you.”
aka, the one where Aventurine is finally sort-of settling into his 'new' life, except there are café shenanigans, (kinda?)lovers'-tiffs, a child who needs him, maybe a little bit more trauma to unpack, and a whole two-persons' worth of memories for him to sift through - not necessarily in that order.
~~~
A collection of stories covering Aventurine's life after, and sometimes 'before', the events in Strangers in the Night.

Summary
It's said that every Arborist had a monster living inside of them - a pitiful, ugly creature that was constantly searching for a Bloom. Its obsession often manifested as an untamable rage, sometimes hunger, in other cases, a manic desire to possess, to consume.
The one where Kaelix, a Bloom, meets Zeal, an Arborist - or would it be more accurate to say that the latter finds him instead?
-
A take on Garden-verse. There is blood, flowers, character angst and kisses, and not necessarily in that order.

Summary
If his eyes could glow, he'd most certainly sell them. Anyone would be a fool not to.
When his information and photo is put onto a black market website with a hefty sum for his head, it is Aventurine himself who takes on the task of infiltrating the market with the intent to either raze it to the ground, or turn it into something profitable for the IPC. Truly, the only entertaining element is that it is Veritas Ratio who must follow him through a swarm of hunters waiting to sink their claws deep into his throat.

And if Faust can refuse those who build temples and monuments in his homage, then how easily can he discard Figaro, who has nothing to give him?

Summary
"Cease your tears, Dan Heng. For as long as I am in your care, I won't let this affliction get the best of me."
"You can't promise that," Dan Heng said. He buried his face in Jing Yuan's shoulder, breathing in his scent, committing it to memory. "You don't know that."
"But I do," Jing Yuan said. "Didn't you hear? They call me the Divine Foresight at Xianzhou. So, allow me to give this piece of foresight to you: when I do leave this mortal world, it will not happen on this train, when I am still under your care. That, I can promise you."
-
Freeing Dan Heng from the shadow of Dan Feng turns out to be far more complicated than just signing a pardon. Or: Jing Yuan takes a long-earned vacation amongst the stars, Dan Heng has an identity crisis, and Yanqing finally gets to wrangle criminals within his own paygrade.- Language:

Summary
A storm shrouds Jing Yuan’s shoulders. He smells like wind and lightning, like rain on a sunny day, like dark soil and the life that blooms from it. He smells like… like the Luofu, that very first time Dan Heng stepped into the sunlight, that very first time he beheld the world with his own eyes.
Saliva fills his mouth. His stomach churns now as it did back then, trepidation warring with a longing so sudden and fierce that Dan Heng can’t think of anything else. This feeling—it can’t be anything else.
But then Jing Yuan says, “It’s been a long time, old friend”—and the candlelight in Dan Heng’s chest hisses out.
Jing Yuan and Dan Feng weren't soulmates.
Jing Yuan and Dan Heng are.
