    Summary

    When Helix had first found out about Melidaan, a lot of his General's habits slotted neatly into place. Like a broken bone that healed wrong, he'd called it. All he could do was try and mitigate the damage.

    (And if he'd wished, sometimes, that he could have been there earlier, so he could have done something, so he could have helped, well-)

    Now, there is a child in his medbay, looking up at him with wary eyes. Carefully, gently, he crouches, so as not to loom. Offers him a smile.

    "Hi, Ben."

    Or:

    It's hard to ignore your trauma when it's staring you in the face, isn't it?

    Or:

    In which Helix accidentally-on-purpose adopts a kid, Ben reckons with the future, and Qui-Gon is trying to figure out how he managed to piss off an army.

    Summary

    Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.

    Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?

    Verso was tired.

    “Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”

    Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

    Summary

    Rumor had it that on dark, foggy nights, a stranger stalked the streets of Lumiere and disappeared by morning like a ghost.

    Verso hadn't known he had become a living legend, until a doe eyed inventor caught him standing outside his apartment building.

    A story that explores a world where Verso met Gustave long before Expedition 33.
