    Summary

    Clea decides to destroy Verso, believing him too unpredictable to be left alone. Unfortunately for her, his chroma is tied to the very heart of the Canvas. So she neutralizes him the only way she can, separating his chroma, his spirit, from his body.

    Now, forced to exist as a ghost in the Canvas, Verso watches over Maelle and tries to find a way to set things right. It gets worse before it gets better. How can he save his mother or help his sister, when he’s nothing but a fading echo of a man he can never be?

    A guardian angel for them all - however, she also gives him one more mission that will break what remains of his heart to complete, but he will do it. For her.

    Be with Verso through it all - no matter how he wants to end it.

    And perhaps... convince him that there is not only one ending for him.

    Summary

    Gustave Écrivain is the newest and hottest figure skater on the circuit and Verso Dessendre, seeking redemption for his previous Olympics performance - hates him!

    But when Verso finds himself desperately in need of help, he's surprised to find that not only does Gustave not hate him, he wants to help.

    With the support of the Écrivain twins, Verso discovers that everything he knew about their rivalry was wrong, and that there was maybe something else waiting to grow.

    Summary

    No one ever explained the blood.  How the scent lingered.

    Nevron ink was cold, splashes of ice that stole the breath from lungs, staining anything it touched.

    Human blood boiled, its stench overpowered only by the screams of those being cut down.

    Summary

    “Could you play for me?” she asks one evening, catching him alone in one of the rooftop gardens. “Please. Like in the camp, remember? Just this one time.”

    He wants to say no, but — this feels different. He looks at her, pale in the dim light of the lanterns, and sees it immediately — the outline of the paint covering her face almost completely.

    “You’re dying.”

    She doesn’t deny it.

    Or: Maelle and Verso have a chat decades after defeating the Paintress.

    Summary

    Monoco sighs. There are no marks on his body, of course, but he can see — the bloodstains on the ropes, the long-burned campfire with an iron rod lying in it. The gag, not compatible with a real interrogation. Most importantly — Verso’s evasiveness; barely hidden fear in the pale eyes that refuse to look up.

    “Questions”. Sure.

    He finishes with most of the ropes, feeling relief that it’s almost over — and stops, trying to comprehend what he is looking at.

    Or: Monoco finds Verso after a rough encounter with an expedition. Freeing him turns out to be more complicated than any of them was ready for.

    Summary

    “I need you to calm down,” says his father’s voice, steady and deep and soothing. “Listen to me, son. I need you to calm down and let your chroma do the work. Do you hear me? Don’t fight it. Let it heal you.” A pause. “Let her heal you.”

    The words reach him as if through a thick layer of water. Verso tries to follow the instructions — to calm down, how is he supposed to calm down when there is a hole in his chest?! — and fails at that, the only result another wheezing sound — a wordless plea for all of this to stop.

    He’d begged his father if he could — if he had the voice. He’d begged him to make it stop.

    Or: 5 times Renoir told Verso to let his wounds heal and the 1 time Verso didn't listen.

    Five times Verso's life was perfect, and the one time it all went wrong.

    Summary

    When Gustave starts having dreams of being trapped in fire in the Dessendre mansion, he does everything in his power to protect Verso.

    While the protection is successful, and he knew there was a price to pay, it was almost too steep, even for him.

    Summary

    The attempted assassination of the Dessendre family - including the Head of the Painter's Council, Aline Dessendre, was the last straw before Paris devolved into all-out war.  

    Any families who could flee the war between the Writers and the Painters had done so, leaving the city empty of those who knew the true nature of the conflict.  

    Verso Dessendre and Gustave Écrivain have been drafted into the fighting, and are sworn enemies, bound to kill each other.

    Unless...

    Summary

    In the months following his sister's death, Verso Dessendre leaves behind the city of Lumière, his duty, and his fate as the royal heir. After two years of wandering, he finally settles. That he does so by enlisting in the Expedition, an institution no member of the royal family should ever join, is a terrible and, ultimately, tragic mistake.

    As always, when gods make mistakes, the mortals who follow them are doomed to suffer the worst of fates.

    A retelling of the Expedition Zero/S&R debacle, in a fantasy/divinity setting. Written for Verso Hell Week!

    Summary

    Verso is not pining, nope.

    No matter what Monoco says, no matter how much he is teased, he is absolutely, definitely not pining.

    Gustave, as it turns out, is also not pining.

    No matter what Maelle, Lune, Sciel, and anyone else says.

    But maybe they were both pining. A little.

    Summary

    Despite knowing that it will result in his death - either from the call of the Painter's Council, or the Writer's Council for his treason, Gustave Écrivain goes to save his lover, Verso Dessendre, from the fire meant to kill him and his family.

    He manages it, barely, and as he is sitting in his hospital bed, waiting for his fate to be decided with Verso by his side, fate, wearing the face of Aline Dessendre, offers another option instead.
