give up the knife by lysdunkel (enheduane)

Summary
Verso is rinsing out his spare shirt in the river when he hears crunching footfalls on moss. He continues his idle work, which really was little more than an excuse to let the rattled Expeditioners stew over their situation in peace. The steps pause somewhere behind him.
“Sneaking off already?”
A man’s voice—it has to be Gustave, Maelle’s guardian. Strange to think it’s the first time he hears it.

Summary
“She should wake up soon,” Verso kept his gaze on Maelle, head angled away so he could only see Renoir in the very sliver of his periphery.
He wished the man would say something. He hoped he wouldn’t.
Verso brings Maelle to the Manor.

Summary
Was it possible that this man was still alive? It shouldn’t be, not after the blows Renoir had dealt and yet, impossibly, the man still clung to a thread of life. Stubbornly as he had fought Renoir, he stubbornly fought death. Pity, mixed with that same discordant respect as earlier, Renoir lifted his cane to deliver a final blow. This too would be a mercy.
Or: Sophie called Gustave the most stubborn person she knew and I decided to take that personally.
A Gustave lives au, where trapped in the manor he must unravel the mystery of the man from the beach and his daughter and find his way back to his friends before it's too late.

Summary
Ever since Gustave had first wrapped his arms around him a few weeks ago, Verso knew he was doomed. It was a familiar feeling, usually accompanied with an array of other dreadful emotions. This time it was mixed with the most dangerous one - hope.
As their relationship progresses, Verso is soon forced to confront all his guilt and self-hatred and they both end up working through their insecurities and unresolved trauma, to make their relationship survive amidst that lurking darkness of their past.

This is Verso's POV of the story, describing his thoughts and feelings. There's also some new additional scenes and part 2 became almost double the length of part 1.

Summary
It was not the Lumière of her childhood to which she had returned, and it never would be again. How could it? After everything they had gone through? Too much had changed.
The city. The world.
Her.
Some scars simply could not—should not—be painted over. Not even with all the power to shape creation’s design at your beck and call.
They would remain, but so would you.

or: With Gustave's help, Verso learns to let go.
// a canon divergent exploration of what it means to be alive and the reasons we find to continue. tomorrow comes.

Summary
Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.
Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?
Verso was tired.
“Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”
Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

Summary
“Agenda is sending me off on a mission,” Match says, pulling out until only his tip is inside Tim, clenched by that pretty little hole. “Thought I’d get my dick wet one last time before I head out.”
He pushes in slow, revelling in the deep-throated sigh Tim gives him at the grind. Those dark brows pinch in their sleep, lips parting on an unspoken moan. Match can practically hear Kon’s teeth grinding to dust from here.
“What do you mean one last time?”

Summary
Urianger wonders if there exists any academic documentation of what Thancred speaks of at all, perhaps in the back of the Archon vault, prohibited, or perhaps tucked away in the tomes of private homes. Urianger wonders, instead, if such things only exist in his imperfect idea of the far-off barges of Limsa Lominsa. If men and maybe-women fondling other men and maybe-women in the darkness of the night is some disease specific to pirates and smugglers and paid bedfellows. And him, he supposes. And him, for some reason.

Summary
She had needed to be patient to pull this off, staking out her old HQ until the demons inevitably took the opportunity to attack it.
In the chaos, she had slipped inside, dodging demons and Darkcom agents alike until she was able to eventually make her way to where she now stood.
Gunfire and screams still echoed from the halls outside the room, but she ignored them and strode over to the controls of the cryostasis pod.
Punching in the command sequence, she started running defrost procedures.
