    Summary

    As a lonely teenager, Verso paints himself a friend on a small, hidden canvas: Gustave, a confidant who quietly grows into something more. After the fracture, the other Verso finds Gustave again in Lumière. It should be impossible - and keeping his distance might be.

    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

    Verso didn't expect to meet his soulmate in a bakery. He also didn't expect said soulmate to be the only man in the capital unable to recognize the crown prince by name.

    He isn't complaining, this is the first time in years he's been able to exist as himself and not as an extension of his family.

    Surely, it won't hurt to keep up the pretense for a little while?
