Summary
The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:
Maelle.
OR
Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.
He's definitely not prepared for their children.

Summary
She looks like a proper lady. Fit to the extravagance of the strange manor. She could host whimsical parties, music and dancing congesting the opulent halls. She could turn away leagues of suitors from these very steps. She could age past her predicted years before Gommage.
The thought halts his breath.
Maelle tries on the Skirt outfit before the end of Act 1. Gustave reflects on how much Maelle has grown.

Pièces froides by monocostrap (hanarinhightown)

Summary
Monolith Year 78 (in which Verso is incredibly touch-starved and increasingly unable to stop staring at the way Monoco grips his staff):
"You're insufferable."
"Yet here you are, staring at me with the desperate eyes of a man who hasn't been touched in decades. Which, coincidentally, you are."
Verso swallowed, unable to tear his gaze away from Monoco's hands. He should feel humiliated by the bluntness, recoil at the implication he was so transparent. But all he felt was a burning, aching need overriding everything else.
"You didn't answer my question," he croaked.
“I’ve not been dragging it across the Continent for him, Verso. Does it matter?”
It should. It should matter that this thing between them wasn't real, wasn't special, wasn't his. But as Verso stared at Monoco, at the soft halo of fur around his face, at the wooden hands that had pulled him back from death countless times, he found he couldn't summon the will to care. He shook his head.
Monoco patted his thigh, a gesture so casually commanding that it sent another wave of heat through Verso's body. "Then come here. You’re hogging all the warmth.”
