Summary
"How can you call it gambling when the outcome is already pre-determined? I will take my chances with a losing bet than settle for a fate that doesn't agree with my principles."
"That does sound like something you would do," Phainon says. "But I'm not quite the gambling type."
"Aren't you?" Aventurine raises an eyebrow, issuing a challenge that Phainon does not see coming. "Thirty-three million, five-hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred and thirty-six."
The IPC takes the most pivotal step in extending a hand of friendship to Amphoreus. Even through the pitfalls of such a volatile alliance, Aventurine and Phainon end up turning that overture of friendship into something more.
[ A canon-divergent scenario, written post-3.4. This fic contain spoilers for that version.
Written before 3.5 release. ]

Summary
“Yiling Patriarch,” he begins, and Wei Wuxian’s face clouds.
“Please. That’s not – you know me, Zewu-jun. What’s wrong? Why are you here?” He walks over and Lan Xichen sees he has no weapon, not even his flute. He came to meet Wangji unarmed, defenseless. With a smile on his face.
“I’m here to ask for your help. It’s Wangji. He’s ill.”

Summary
“Oh, gods. Don’t tell me you have delusions of taming me.”
“Taming you? No, I have no such aspirations,” Wyll says, his voice a muted, steady tenor. “All I’ve ever wanted was to set you free.”
Prince Charming catches himself a vampire.

Summary
“Is it always like this with you?” Aventurine asked. “Starting riots, setting fires, escaping by the skin of your teeth?”
Still sorta annoyed, Boothill grumbled, “You’re makin’ it sound like a bad thing.”
Aventurine laughed so suddenly he seemed to almost surprise himself. “A bad thing? Hah! Not at all.” He ran a hand, shining with gold, through his hair. “Not at all.”
After a hostile takeover gets a little…hostile, Aventurine needs to lay low for a few weeks. Luckily, Boothill’s willing to lend a helping hand.
