    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

    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?

    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.
