    Summary

    “And shouldn’t Maelle have her brother back? After bringing back the rest of the world?”

    “How would that make her different from…” Lune pinches her lips shut. Looks up at the ceiling, breathes. “It’s what Verso wanted. And he didn’t, he wasn’t–”

    Sciel pushes herself up. “There were good moments. He was happy with us, a part of the expedition. If he could make his choice again–”

    “No.” Something sneaks into Lune’s voice there, past the righteous anger. A choke, almost. “He wasn’t.”

    “Okay,” Maelle says, tonelessly. She hasn’t moved from her stance, picture perfect. Back to an audience, angled away. Like a pianist. “Not today then.”

    ~

    Lumiere lives. Verso dies. And every day, Maelle must decide to make it so.

    Summary

    ”Gustave lights a lamp in the kitchen, rolls up his sleeves and starts making dinner.

    He does it, step by step, follows the old family recipe even though he’s exhausted to the very bone-marrow, even though his muscles are sore and the lethargy drags him towards the floor boards like a lead weight.”

    In which Gustave makes food, Verso keeps showing up and they slowly start healing together.

    Or; five times Gustave cooks something and one time it's Verso's turn.

    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.
