Summary
"I'm leaving Paris," Verso says brusquely, by way of a greeting. He has never been very good with words; that has always been Papa's strength, not his.Gustave inhales sharply, watching him in silence, his hands clutching his notebook so hard the spine begins to twist.
"You want me to come with you," he says finally, looking at Verso as though he has entirely lost his mind.
Or:
Time is running out. With war looming over Belle Epoque Paris, Verso must make a choice between his duty to his family and the young Writer who has unknowingly stolen his heart.
He chooses Gustave.

Summary
The Dessendre name is synonymous with color and light, but for Verso, life is lived in monochrome. Haunted by a fire that scarred his family, he has locked himself away with his music where no one can reach the man behind the melody.
Enter Gustave, an engineer who sees the world in the light of physics and function. In the artistic fervor of Montmartre, their burgeoning connection becomes a work of chiaroscuro, demonstrating that true beauty is found not in perfect light or absolute darkness, but in the delicate balance of both.

Summary
Verso didn't expect to meet his soulmate in a bakery. He also didn't expect said soulmate to be the only man in the capital unable to recognize the crown prince by name.
He isn't complaining, this is the first time in years he's been able to exist as himself and not as an extension of his family.
Surely, it won't hurt to keep up the pretense for a little while?

Summary
In the corner of the cellar, there was a man.
He was huddled and curled as much into a ball as he could manage, but one hand was fixed to the wall with a chain so short that he had no choice but to leave the limb outstretched and pitifully exposed. His hair was dark, copious, and bloody.
He was also supposed to be dead.

Summary
“Oh, very charming.” The woman laughs, brushing her hands off on her apron and turning back to the cart. “I hope that wasn’t meant to impress me.”
Verso ignores her question in favour of enjoying the colour in her cheeks. “You didn’t answer my question.”
She sets her crate down and turns right back for another. “I know.”
