Summary
Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.
It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.

Here, there was one and only one expectation that he had foisted upon him, and it was minor in the grand scheme of things.
Here, he was only expected to fight. Or, more specifically, lose while fighting.

Summary
“Wait! Verso, damn it, wait, what-”
Fingers close around his wrist. He freezes, paralyzed; his arms are held down again, stripping him of the ability to defend himself, and a familiar-unfamiliar voice is ringing in his ears, and he is tugged and turned around, and soon the bruises on his wrists are going to be the least of his problems, because… because…
“Verso. Verso, look at me. Hey, look at me.”
Or: Maelle brings back a certain someone from Verso's past. Things do not go well, and Verso ends up on the doorstep of the only person in Lumière who makes him feel safe.
(It's a shame things between them are not that simple.)Bookmarked by icedbeanz

Summary
"This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”
It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.
Something softens in Verso’s expression.
Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.
They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

Summary
“Of course, you are more than welcome here, for as long as you’d like.” is Emma’s instant and smooth reply, delivered with an effortless aplomb that is well-suited to her Chief Councilor role; there’s no hiding the sharpness of her eyes, however, that intelligent glint that speaks of veiled suspicion and careful calculations. “Any friend of Maelle is a friend of ours.”
As expected, Maelle is more than ecstatic by Emma’s easy acceptance, but her mood quickly plummets when she spots Gustave’s less-than-thrilled expression: if looks could kill, Verso is pretty sure he would be lying in a pool of his own blood by now, but after some uncomfortable staring the man just scoffs and looks quickly on the side, cheeks flushed by what Verso can only presume is a good dose of barely repressed anger. “...Sure, whatever. If that’s what Maelle wants.”
(After making a promise to each other at the Canvas' edge, Maelle restores Lumiére to its former splendor, and Verso tries to live his life in it as simply and unobtrusively as possible.
Too bad that Gustave absolutely hates Verso's guts, and Verso's blossoming feelings for Gustave are of a complete opposite nature.)

Summary
Although Verso knows that he won't be able to protect Gustave from everything that is yet to come, he can at least try to teach him how to survive a little bit longer. Said lesson doesn't quite go as expected.

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.

Summary
"Hello?" A deep voice said as a man opened the door.
Gustave stood frozen like a deer in headlights. At this moment several thoughts crossed his mind at the same time.
One, that had to be the hottest guy he had ever seen in his life.
Two, this was decidedly not Alicia's apartment.
And three... Gustave was still wearing a baby pink bunny suit, with fishnets and a too-deep neckline.Fuck his life.

Summary
Sometimes there is an angry, raging inferno under his skin. All that rage needs to go somewhere or it's going to burn him up from the inside out. That's the thing about a forest fire; it leaves nothing but ash and the bones of what used to be in its wake.
Verso is having a no good very bad string of days and he's been left to simmer in his anger for a little too long. All that pressure has to explode sometime.

“I want to adopt a dog,” Gustave exclaims.

Verso stares at him from behind his book. He narrows his eyes, then continues reading with a simple shake of his head. “No, you do not.”

Summary
“What are vampires anyway?”
My mother tensed, face hardening.
“Vampires are dark creatures.” My father said carefully. “They are evil.”
“But I’m a vampire?” I asked.
“Basil,” my mother snapped. “You cannot say that. What if someone were to hear you? No one can know. Vampires are evil and bad. Do you understand that, Basil?”
“Am I?” I asked.
“Are you what?”
“Evil and bad.”
“If you act like a vampire, yes. Now go play outside.”

You don't try to contain your laugh.
