    Summary

    Gustave dies.

    It is a sordid affair, full of sacrifice and pain. There is nothing beautiful about death, Gustave thinks in the fleeting instant before his nerve endings explode all at once in his chest like fireworks. He doesn’t think anymore after that. Screams echo on the granite of the cliff, drowning the furious crashing of the waves below. He doesn’t hear them. He is dead.

    (This is not how it ends.)

    After his death, Gustave becomes unstuck in time.

    It's an easy day.  

    It's a good day.

    It's a day filled with blackberries and laughter.

    And maybe just a little something more.

    Summary

    It has been 8 months since Maelle kicked her family out of the Canvas and chose to stay. Gustave's friends and family have all embraced their second chance at life but Gustave is struggling to accept their new reality. He has thrown himself into his work to keep his mind off of everything but now he has been tasked with collecting study samples from the Continent. No one else is able or willing to join him on the trip and travelling alone is unsafe. Luckily, Maelle convinced Verso to go so Gustave could have someone to watch his back. Gustave and Verso have never really spoken and barely know each other, but a whole month on the Continent together is enough time to change that.

    5 times Gustave had to be on corpse management duty + 1 time Verso had to instead

    Summary

    No one ever explained the blood.  How the scent lingered.

    Nevron ink was cold, splashes of ice that stole the breath from lungs, staining anything it touched.

    Human blood boiled, its stench overpowered only by the screams of those being cut down.

    Summary

    Verso recognizes Gustave at once.

    Gustave is standing in a clearing, then, on a continent where he doesn’t have any reason to be. He’s also in the process of losing badly in a fight against a particularly large Cruleur. They’ve not seen each other since the fateful night of the concert. Since the night Verso left Lumière to never come back.

    Still, Verso recognizes him at once.

    Summary

    Verso and Gustave meet on a train, but never exchange names when Verso misunderstands their conversation and leaves abruptly.

    He regrets it almost immediately, and does everything in his power to find the man that he started falling for after one conversation.

    Finding him again might seem impossible, but Verso is willing to do whatever it takes, because he's not willing to let the man go.

    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

    When Verso first joined the Disaster Expedition, he told them "some of us stopped aging". He didn't add "we also stopped dying".
    -
    Weeks later, Gustave wished nothing more than to stop bearing witness to the death of the people he loved. This time, at least, he had another chance - one he refused to waste.

    Summary

    …and one time he didn’t have to.

    Therefore, when Verso starts being weird, Monoco immediately notices it.

    Verso suddenly stumbles over his words. He trips when there’s no obstacle in his way. He fails parries that he could’ve done in his sleep previously. He spills food all over himself constantly. And his gaze lingers, particularly on one person. Day-in, day-out.

    Gustave.

    Summary

    Verso wakes up, and he is… comfortable. Warm and safe, peaceful; it’s been so long since he…

    A heart is beating under his cheek, strong and steady. His head is resting on a chest that is rising and falling slowly — calm breathing of a man fast asleep. There is an arm on his waist that is holding him relaxedly, sleepy. A soft blanket separates him from the world.

    He remembers.

    Summary

    Verso, a construction worker, one day caught a whiff of something intoxicating during his lunch break. There was an odd fragrance in that ice cream shop, driving him insane. He couldn't quite pin it down: he's tried each flavor twice. The nice beta behind the counter thought he just had a sweet tooth. But he's wrong. Verso is hunting for something, and it isn't just the gelato.

    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.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Verso tilts his head chidingly. “I may not be the creator of this world, but I’m more or less sure that you’re not supposed to be sad here. We even found a list of rules, look,” he waves a crumpled piece of paper. Reads, “‘Feeling whooo allowed only in designated areas. Inside the house whooo is prohibited’! See?”

    “I’m not inside the house,” Gustave objects, just to be an ass — he can feel a smile forming on his lips. “And I’m not ‘whooo’. More like, ‘hmmm’.”

    “‘Hmmm’. Is that the official term?”

    “Yup,” Gustave lowers his head, examining the wrist connections of the prosthesis.

    Or: Gustave finds out that “Barbapapa” is not really compatible with intricate mechanisms. Luckily, Verso is there to help.
