Fics like a deal in diamonds (memento vivere)
“When I die, the IPC will reclaim all of my possessions. I have no surviving family members; nobody will cry for me.” The last bit comes from the collapse of wishful thinking. A bit of sentimentality. Is it part of the act? Aventurine… nobody would cry for Aventurine. The man who went all in, who tried to bet against the world, the one with good fortune on his side. Flashy smiles, good perfume, and a crisp and clean fashion sense - the hollow shell, the disposable pawn, the uncannily lucky gambling chip. “So in every sense that matters, I have nothing to lose.” The crease between Ratio’s eyebrows deepens whilst his movements grow still, as if battling with some sort of internal conflict. Aventurine watched as he comes to a conclusion, turning his gaze to him fully, and then speaking, “I’d mourn you if you died.” - based on @portalmonsterrr's comic on twitter! it's called memento vivere on there as well, please check it out, because that is what inspired this. <3
