Fics like Featherlight

A peacock, Veritas read once, will present its train to attract a mate or to fend off an attacker. But Aventurine, Veritas deducts, has another user for it: as a mask of sorts, one so outrageously extravagant that with it he commands the attention of everyone in any room. Love him or hate him, you can’t look away. One shouldn't judge a bird based solely on its feathers, but this one seems to be counting on it. But as easily as Aventurine spreads his tail, his wings remain hidden. Even years into their professional relationship, Veritas has never seen him fly. --- Written for the whumptober prompt "hidden injury."
