You know, one thing I haven't seen any Ratiorine fans take advantage of is that Aventurine is very specifically inspired by the Turkish Romani population, while Ratio clearly has Greek/Roman influence--both countries with long and often complicated histories with Turkey.
Everyone craving those sci-fi AUs, but where are my historical AUs at?
Where are all the "We come from rival nations but still found each other!" Romeo and Juliet-level dramas???
Where are all my period pieces with the fall of the Byzantine Empire for background flavor???
Where are all my "I am but a traveling scholar," "You're more like a fish out of water, friend!" strangers-to-lovers riding off into the desert sunset stories???
Come on, help a girl out!
