Summary
It had been five years since their gods had been forced out of the Canvas. Five years, for them, in which Gustave had had to wrap his head around not only the events after his death — of Canvas Worlds and a grieving family, of a dead brother and the remains of a soul pushed past its breaking point — but also of their future. A future they now, apparently, had for years and years to come, if his friends were to be believed.

Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

Summary
Verso won – but victory left him hollow. When the soul of Verso takes his hand, glimpses of Verso’s journey with Expedition 33 prompts him to offer Verso a chance to Paint; to mend the world and the wounds of the past; to give him and his friends an opportunity for a better life. All it took was a second glance back at the woman he had unintentionally fallen for. How could he rest knowing that look of silent disbelief and anger was because of him? With memories intact and fractured hearts, Verso and Lune relive their journey to mend their world, to heal the Dessendre family, and to confront the feelings between them buried beneath the trauma.
Or
A New Game Plus fanfic retelling of Expedition 33, where Lune and Verso are sent back to before the 33 Gommage.

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?
AN: This is the main story, all other fics in the series are bonus content.

Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together.- Language:
