Two cat dads take their children on a trip to make new friends ft. Honey Dice (and Muffin's digital blood pressure rising)
#ratiorine
[the appeal of domesticity]

🔗 archiveofourown.org/works/74665331
G Rated, Dr. Ratio/Aventurine, Cat Cakes, Honey Dice, Stelle, Asta, Topaz, canon compliant, fluff, humor, domestic, texting, references to 3.7 events, minor Jade/Topaz Aventurine had just came back from his work trip in Penacony to find chaos reigning in his apartment. Impressively so, Parmenides was sleeping through it all, softly snoring as Muffin threw chalk powder at Acorn, Bell and Rose, who were projecting a livestream in the living room, its volume way too high. The livestream was showing a racing event, its participants the cat cakes of Herta’s Space Station. Aventurine tilted his head, his gaze focused on his critters, who were smashing their soft paws on the tablets he'd bought them, in support of the racer they bet on. When victory was claimed for the third and last round, Aventurine’s critters erupted in meows, varying from happiness to dismay, all equally aggravating Muffin further. Aventurine stepped in, before his whole furniture would be covered in chalk powder. “Back from dreadful work and not even a greeting,” he said, pouting. It immediately set three pairs of wobbly eyes, one pair of robotic gleaming eyes, and a pair of puffy, sleepy eyes on him. “So, what’s all this fuss about?” - or, two cat dads taking their children on a trip to make new friends.

I had this image in my head before going to sleep: Aventurine on an endless field of yellow tulips. In the final version there aren't any tulips, but I did turn the idea into a fic

The Malleability of Form—After getting into a fight with a teacher at school, Neuvillette and Wriothesley's child, Astrée, learns some interesting things about dragons and gender.

#wriolette
“You know you don’t have to be like the girls or the boys,” Furina says. Astrée goes still. “Huh?” She doesn’t deflate, but she sure wasn’t expecting Furina to say something like that. Then she scowls. This feels like a trap, and she doesn’t like that. Doesn’t like that yet another adult is—is trying to treat her like she’s dumb. “Plenty of people prefer to identify themselves as neither male nor female. Why do you think I don’t wear skirts?” Furina asks with a small smile. Astrée frowns, mouth working, trying to figure out a reply to that. “But you dress like a prince,” she says at last. And then she startles a little. “Oh. Oh. You dress like a prince but you’re a girl.” At least, she thinks Aunt Furina is a girl. Everyone says Aunt Furina is a girl. She used to be Lady Furina, before the prophecy came true. Now, she’s just Aunt Furina. Her frown deepens. “Are you a girl?” she asks, a little hesitant, a little unsure. “Most days,” Furina replies. “Enough days that it’s fine for you to assume I am. But you don’t want to be a girl most days. Do you?” Astrée scowls. “What, like there’s a secret third thing?” she demands.

It's been years since I played chess, and I was never better than average, but I absolutely loved this fic!

I finished a #ratiorine fic (rated T) in my Professional Chess Players in 2000s AU!
The premise sounds rather niche and I guess it is, haha! Read if you can take on whatever :D

You’re much closer to becoming disabled or homeless than you are to becoming rich and wealthy.

It’s not a moral failing. It’s not something you can “try harder” your way out of.

We need robust social supports & safety nets to ensure everyone is properly cared for.

This is important for all writers, no matter where they are in their publication journey. Your work is your work, and contracts are meant to protect it, and you, and the writing community at large. MRM is trying to normalize _very_ bad behavior.

Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
Google AI search result for “was 2010 fifteen years ago?” returning: “No, 2010 was 14 years ago, not 15 years ago. The current year is 2025, and to find the number of years ago 2010 was, you subtract 2010 from 2025, which equals 14. Current Year: 2025 Past Year: 2010 Years Ago: 2025 - 2010 = 14 years”
