Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together.- Language:

Summary
Gustave sits at the cliffside with Maelle tucked to his side. He’s writing, because of course he is. Writing was the gift he had been born with. Stories came to him as easily as breath to his lungs. Use of words had been forged into his very soul even when he was denied so. Even now, while he does not remember.
Verso never understood it, though perhaps his kind were never meant to—creating worlds with lavish vocabulary over the graceful stroke of a brush—and yet he never found them any less beautiful when written by him.
In another life, Verso—the true Verso—had risked everything for those pretty words, in another world where the blending of art and literature was forced apart, made forbidden and long thought impossible.
In this life—or unlife, perhaps—he can only stare at both parts of his heart with a hollowed soul and memories of fire upon his skin.
(In which Gustave lives, and Verso’s Canvas harbors one more grief-stricken soul.)

Summary
When Maelle, Gustave's adopted sister sent him a job application on Indeed, he mostly applied because the requirements were astonishingly low for Dessendre and Co.'s newest secretary position, and he desperately needed to cut down his student debt from his masters.
Little did he know he'd be getting a personal interview with Verso Dessendre himself and that his life would change forever.Bookmarked by Vantorar
