    Summary

    Gustave woke to gentle pressure on his wrist.

    He blinked groggily, finding Verso crouched beside his work chair, the android's fingers wrapped carefully around his pulse point. "What are you doing?"


    "Your heart rate was elevated during sleep," Verso said, matter-of-fact. "Irregular breathing patterns. I wanted to ensure you were not experiencing a medical emergency."


    Gustave stared at him. "I was... dreaming. People do that."


    "Oh." Verso's expression shifted slightly—confusion, maybe, or embarrassment. The micro-expressions were uncanny. "My apologies. I have logged this for future reference." He didn't let go of Gustave's wrist.


    "You can let go now."


    "Your pulse is still elevate
    d."

    "Because you startled me awake."


    Verso stared at him, and for just a moment, something like annoyance flickered across his expression.

    In which Gustave comes across a destroyed android in the scrapyard. When VRS-0 wakes with no memory, neither of them are prepared for what comes next.

    Summary

    After the events at Stone Wave Cliffs, Gustave awakens in a liminal space suspended between canvas and reality where a faceless child paints without end. What begins as an intellectual puzzle Gustave cannot abandon gradually transforms into something else entirely: the stubborn effort to save his sister’s life and the fragile canvas she sustains, while also proving—patiently, against every layer of refusal—to a man who has long ceased to believe in his own worth that he is permitted, perhaps even deserving, to have a real, finite life.

    Summary

    After Victor becomes immortal, Maker and Creation stumble though the reality of being tied for eternity. The past still echoes in their lives, love remains unsaid, and their longing and affection are tainted by it.

    Through the ages, they meet again and again and break and remake each other, unknowingly if they will ever find true happiness in each other.

    (But they will. Of course, they will.)
