Masquerade (Compatible Fractures) by MsCoffeebear
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)

Summary
In Lumière, soul bonds are not gifts - they are obligations.
Verso Dessendre has spent years perfecting the art of staying untouched. Once a prodigy, now a soldier, he's learned that wanting anything is dangerous. His hands are scarred. His reputation is carefully constructed. And he has no intention of letting anyone close enough to see what lies beneath.
Gustave Virlogeux is the Academy's most reliable engineer - the one who fixes what the system breaks, who never asks for anything for himself. His prosthetic arm glows with borrowed Chroma. He's useful. Essential. Alone.
When destiny pairs them together, neither is prepared for what their connection will cost—or what it might save. As Lumière's bond ceremony approaches, they—along with Verso's sister Alicia and Gustave's ward Maelle - will discover that the system they trusted might be more fragile than anyone realized.
A story about two people learning that sometimes the most broken things fit together in ways nothing whole ever could.

Summary
The first words your soulmate says to you appear on your skin. And they only appear once—everybody knows that.
So when Verso Dessendre walks into Gustave's garage with a vintage car that needs restoring and eyes that hold eight years of secrets, and Gustave's wrist burns with new words - eight years after his soulmate abandoned him - he knows something is wrong.
Apparently, the universe isn't done with them yet.
This is a story about sacrifice and second chances, about the lies we tell to protect the ones we love, and about fighting for happiness even when the world says you don't deserve it.
Some love stories get a second chance. Some get second words. -

Summary
Verso Dessendre needs a fake boyfriend for his family's annual Christmas trip to the Alps.
Gustave Rénier—his childhood crush and the man he hasn't seen in ten years—needs a reason to say yes to something reckless for once in his carefully organized life.
What starts as a week of pretense in a snow-covered chalet becomes something neither of them expected: late-night conversations, stolen touches, and the slow realization that some things were never fake to begin with.
Seven days. One bed. Two people who've been wanting each other for far too long.
Sometimes the best love stories start with a lie.

All the Things I Never Said by MsCoffeebear

Summary
It starts with music. A darkened practice room. Pale blue eyes and long fingers dancing across piano keys.
Gustave knows he’s in trouble from the first moment he sees Verso play.
Their love unfolds in stolen moments: behind practice room doors, in empty dorm rooms, anywhere they can be themselves without the weight of expectations. Verso can’t let his family know. Can’t afford the distraction. But he also can’t seem to let Gustave go.
A story about taking it slower - and all the things you wish you’d said sooner.

Unbreakable Bonds (Inked by Destiny) by MsCoffeebear
Fandoms: Compilation of Final Fantasy VII
28 Aug 2021

Summary
(DISCONTINUED) As a threat rises on the eastern continent, the planet once again calls for its saviours. Long forgotten, and buried deep within the tales of old times, the Inked Ones awaken - souls bound together by the letters of destiny inked into their skin, with powers beyond imagination.
At least, that is what legend has told them. What they weren’t told was how hard it would actually be to figure out what destiny wanted them to do, how to navigate all of the strange feelings that came with being tied to a kindred soul and the trials it would bring for them to survive in a world that was hostile towards their very existence.
Bound by friendship, love and fate, they set out to face the enemy threatening to destroy the planet in his fury.

Summary
Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.
“I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.
Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."
or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.

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?
