I shouldn't love you (but I do) by PH03N1X_360

Summary
There is a man on the street, staring up at Gustave’s apartment.
He’s dressed well — a sharp suit cracked with gold, wavy dark hair combed back and shot through with white. His cold blue eyes are rimmed red as if he’s been crying for a while. He feels… important somehow, like a missing piece to a puzzle Gustave has yet to uncover.
Or: Gustave navigates resurrection in the wake of Maelle taking over the canvas, and meets a not-so-stranger he cannot place in his memory.

Summary
It was only supposed to be a one time thing. With the expedition reeling from the loss of a core member, Verso was only hoping to gather some intel that he might use for his own ends.
Why continue reading? What a great question. Verso would give a lot to be able to answer it.
Or: 5 Times Verso read Gustave’s journal + 1 Parting Word.

Summary
The last thing Julien ever wished to see as he stumbled drunk into the first guestroom door was the Tachonis boy asleep on the bed, laid out beneath the crisp sheets like the corpse he is.
A necromancer of the Famed House Tachonis, huh?
Despite the cold gauntness that clings to the boy, Occtis still looks… harmless. Thaisha had done a fairly good job cleaning him up, but Julien’s eyes catch streaks of blood she missed in his hair. Julien feels a strange sort of impulse to fetch a cloth and wash it out himself, which passes like a wave crashing over the rocks (he has a strange inclination that it will return if he overstays his welcome in this room).
Or: Julien is drunk, grieving, and is (against his will) worried Occtis is cold. Occtis is failing to sleep.

En Apesanteur by MsCoffeebear, Shin_PM

Summary
Gustave Virlogeux, lead engineer for a luxury watch manufacturer, has spent two years decidedly not staring at head designer Verso Dessendre's ponytail. He has been very professional about this. He has never once thought about yanking that ridiculous ribbon loose and finding out just how that infuriating voice sounds while begging for more.
Verso Dessendre, on the other hand, has spent two years definitely not thinking about Gustave Virlogeux's capable hands. He has been extremely composed. He has absolutely no opinion on what those oil-stained fingers might feel like wrapped around his cock, and he only got a hard-on at work twice. A week.
When they both sign up for the same anonymous hookup app in order to blow off some steam and match with a stranger who is devastatingly, inconveniently perfect — well. At least it's not a workplace romance.
Right?
(Getting stuck in an elevator has nothing to do with it.)

Summary
Verso could use a fake boyfriend to get his mother off his back.
Sciel introduces Gustave.
They agree on a mutually beneficial arrangement.It's supposed to be simple—hold hands, attend events together, survive his family, and be convincing enough.
They're pretending.
They're somehow excellent at pretending—and also terrible at it.
They promise to keep things simple.
Then immediately do the emotional equivalent of lighting the rulebook on fire.Somewhere between "practice," an ungodly late night phone call, and the catastrophic one‑bed situation, the line between fake and real quietly packs its bags and leaves.

Summary
The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed.
When he returned to Verso, he did not hesitate.
"She could not go through with it," he said in a rush, keeping his voice low enough that only Verso could hear. "The engagement. I offered to take her place. I know this is irregular, I know you have every right to refuse, but I am asking you—"
Verso's hand tightened on his waist, and Gustave's words died in his throat.
"Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
"Why you?" he clarified, his voice quiet but intent. "Why sacrifice yourself for her?"
The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words.
"Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her."In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead—binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation. What begins as duty unfolds into a slow reckoning with choice, restraint, and the dangerous intimacy of wanting what you were never supposed to have.

Summary
In order to bring Gustave back as himself, whole, Maelle had to infuse him with Pure Chroma, something wielded only by Painters.
This Pure Chroma responds to intent, just like it does for Painters.
As life begins again - Gustave does not hesitate to support all of his friends and family - but now that support comes with a cost that he might no longer afford to be able to pay.
(Alternative Title: 5 Times Gustave Used His Pure Chroma to Help Others, and the One Time Someone Used It to Help Him)
