Summary
Of all the sights Verso Dessendre had expected to see when he stepped into an alley two filthy corners away from the rue Laplace, it was not this: an omega with his back to a medieval wall, sword held in one steady hand, holding two alphas at bay.
Or: It's midsummer in the Paris of the Belle Époque and Verso Dessendre's strange, half-lived life starts to change forever, while Gustave Auclair only hopes his changes for the better--and that the annoying alpha who's suddenly turned up to disrupt everything would just go away.

Summary
He knew everyone here, some better than he’d thought he would, some faces well-known even if the souls behind them didn’t recognize him. Everything was quiet, unchanging except for the endless shift of the seasons, and he told himself this was what he needed to be happy.
So when Verso Dessendre saw a strange car, road-dusty with a number plate and rental sticker that announced its further strangeness, bouncing down the town’s ancient, cobblestoned main road, he was instantly suspicious.
Or: Verso Dessendre, acclaimed author and illustrator of the Esquie et ses amis children's book series, lives a quiet and isolated life in Vielle Lumière-sur-Mer for reasons he doesn't examine too closely. When a physics professor on sabbatical shows up in his sleepy backwater town, wearing the face of a man he watched die over a hundred years ago, the questionable peace Verso's found starts to become something else.

Summary
A series of mostly Gale-centric ficthings written for the Comfortember Challenge. I am extremely slow so this may end up being a Comfortanuary self-challenge as well.
All replies to the challenge will be posted in this work, so tags may (read: will) change. Not all chapters will be related to or follow from one another, so please read the notes/chapter titles for characters, pairings, and warnings.
In which we have (so far) comforting musical moments, shared happiness around a campfire on a cold night, a day out at an orchard (with sex), Morena and a surprise bb!Gale, Gale and Tav coming home, Tara visiting Gale on the road in Candlekeep, a sick bb!Gale who's needing his tressym, some sad stuff with a hopeful conclusion, Gale and Tav comforting each other, two women (and a tressym) go looking for something that fell from the sky, an old book, Gale waking up from a dream, our favorite wizard trying to get ready for Founder's Day, Gale letting someone take care of him for once, Gale having a guest lecturer come for a few days, tea being had in a haunted library worlds away, and Tav helping Gale end a cycle.
