thank you!!! 🥺 KAVENTURINE.. i think about them all the time... i think they would be really good friends tbh! they're both naturally friendly people (well. aventurine puts effort into it but also makes it look mostly effortless at first glance) and aventurine doesn't have many friends so i think he would try hard to befriend kaveh and kaveh would respond in kind. also kaveh is a sucker for sob stories so if he finds out about aventurine's tragic past (not that aventurine would volunteer this information, it would probably come out slowly over many drinks together) he would feel even more attached to aventurine and feel like he needs to take care of him :') which is new because aventurine is very used to being the one pursuing friendship and giving his gifts/time/services to others, and now suddenly there's someone buying him things and making sure he sleeps and eats well!!!! i feel like kaveh would almost be like a big brother in that sense. well that is my platonic hc! and my romantic hc is that they should kiss and have sex :)

i also have this elaborate brainworm with ratiorine/haikaveh where the ipc visits teyvat to assess whether it's worth buying or not and aventurine comes along with ratio, alhaitham (who is pining for kaveh) has a drunken one-night stand with aventurine, finds out kaveh is close with aventurine, gets suspicious of aventurine (overhears him talking to ratio about assessing teyvat's assets or something), tries to warn kaveh, kaveh is like "you're just jealous that i like hanging out with someone other than you/tighnari/cyno" but then kaveh finds out alhaitham and aventurine slept together and it's HIS turn to be jealous!!!! where does ratio fit in. well he's also jealous of alhaitham when he finds out. anyways it all ends happily when they confess and then there's a bonus foursome <3
