Summary
Maelle won the fight against Verso, but before she could start to repaint him, to repaint the world, she listened to him.
"I don't want this life," the sound was desperate, and she knew that she couldn't put him through it.There was another solution.

Verso is alive but was kidnapped for one year, and is plunged in a coma. Gustave, his lover, create a Manuscript to speak to him and reenact the crime scene (Verso remember nothint)
Even with the alliance of medias, the Dessendre and Gustave family tentatively working together, who brought the fire and Verso's disappearance, as well as why, remain a mystery.Detective investigation style

Summary
Verso watches them while they crowd around him and pelt him with questions, and he knows he was right. Lune seems ready to set up a field laboratory to start experimenting on him, Sciel’s smile betrays all the indecent thoughts floating through her head, Maelle looks like a kid in a circus, and Gustave…
Gustave hugs himself with his only arm and backs away slightly, eyes wide open — horrified or disgusted, Verso is not sure in the dark.
Not having fun, that’s for certain.
Or: Verso tries to entertain the group with his "magic". It doesn't go that well with Gustave.

...and it wants revenge.

Summary
His dream that night is one of the same.
He’s surrounded by spikes and curls of colours, all of them gleaming with heartrending, surreal brilliance of the underwater light. Fear roots him where he stands. Fear, and confounding fascination. He can’t see the faces of the few people who stand with him, but he already knows that, when he wakes up from the dream with his pounding heart, he’ll miss them fiercely, like how one would with missing limbs. Or missing fragments of his very soul.

—

On the cusp of summer, an expedition begins.
An epilogue to Maelle's ending.

Summary
Verso hates people pretending to care. Julie pretended to care, and look how that turned out. Verso knows full well that humans can’t really care about an immortal who can just walk off being cut in half. Verso knows full well that he is too different from them to actually evoke empathy. Verso-
Verso desperately, painfully, hopelessly wants it.
Or: a Gustave Lives AU where Gustave is being nice and Verso is having a mental breakdown about it. Act II and the beginning of Act III.

Summary
“We old men must adapt to the times.” Verso thumbs across her cheek, fond and careful. “You’re way ahead, of course. So cutting edge you make them bleed.”
“Gustave gets eye strain from arcane journals. As I have told you,” she teases. “Such things tend to happen with age. You’ll have to grow used to it, now that you’re mortal like the rest of us.”
Age is always a strange topic for them. For everyone in the city. Verso no longer dyes his hair, and silver spills forth with every wash. His beard is salt-and-pepper. Lune longs to join him in that. Visible signs of age fills her with triumph. A satisfying sense of spite, even.

Verso is not thrilled to wake up there, post scar incident. He is even less thrilled to be in his father's care.

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
Pushing further on to the centre of the village, Verso finally picked up the sound of voices. Survivors. They were coming into view, far too few of them. The gestral furthest from the crowd looked over as Verso approached.
“Intruder!” They grew to three times their size and charged at him.
Verso considered summoning his weapon but he just… couldn’t. “Hey, hey, hey,” he soothed as best he could while dodging a giant fist, “It’s okay, it’s only me.”

Summary
In the end, with a small hand in his, the world shatters into an infinite white.
But to his dismay, he opens his eyes and he’s still intact. Unfairly, cruelly whole and well and un-gommaged.
Looking down at his hands, un-scarred and immaculate. His clothes, clean and unstained. He could not die, Aline had seen to it, that he will live on in spite of the dissolution of Verso's canvas.
A mother's love can be cruel like that.

Summary
The young woman in front of him is Clea but she is not his daughter. She looks so similar and yet the differences are stark. She looks over their expedition with apathy that curls into derision when her gaze lands on him and his son.
“Clea,” Verso says, taking a step forward. Renoir puts a hand on his arm to still him, wishing he could pull the boy behind him, if that would shield him from what was to come. Verso shoots him a confused look. “I don’t understand what you are saying. What do you mean, I’m dead?”

"Why do you look at me like that?" Verso asked with wide, sparkling eyes, just as Gustave thought to ask the same.
"Like what?"
"Like..."
Verso tried to look away. Gustave put a hand on his cheek. "Like what?"
"Like you're scared for me."

Summary
Julie was supposed to be dead, but she'd always been stubborn.
Brought back to life by the strange little girl with no face and no patience for sore losers, she sets out with one goal in mind: pay back Verso Dessendre for killing her in the first-fucking-place.
But on the Continent, things are never quite that straightforward. And even the best laid plans can go awry.
Or: Julie joins Expedition 33. This complicates things.
