    Summary

    Clea pulls out a map one day and tells Alicia to point to a spot on it.

    She does, and they circle it with a felt-tip pen, looking the name up online on Clea’s beat up old laptop (which is the only computer they own that wasn’t destroyed in the fire).

    It’s some backwater village named Lumière.

    or: After Verso dies and they lose everything in the fire, the Dessendre sisters leave Paris behind.

    Summary

    Verso won – but victory left him hollow. When the soul of Verso takes his hand, glimpses of Verso’s journey with Expedition 33 prompts him to offer Verso a chance to Paint; to mend the world and the wounds of the past; to give him and his friends an opportunity for a better life. All it took was a second glance back at the woman he had unintentionally fallen for. How could he rest knowing that look of silent disbelief and anger was because of him? With memories intact and fractured hearts, Verso and Lune relive their journey to mend their world, to heal the Dessendre family, and to confront the feelings between them buried beneath the trauma.

    Or

    A New Game Plus fanfic retelling of Expedition 33, where Lune and Verso are sent back to before the 33 Gommage.

    Summary

    > TUTOR NEEDED

    Subject(s): Math, Science, Literature

    For: 16-year-old student. Intelligent. Prone to… selective motivation.

    Pay: Negotiable. Flexible hours. Discretion and resilience preferred.

    Contact: Clea Dessendre.

    Serious inquiries only. No time-wasters.

    ---

    Gustave is a university student living off a scholarship that covered the essentials, but not everything—not his own space, not the little things like tools for engineering projects or fixing the busted laptop he’d been limping along with since high school. And if the Dessendre family paid well…

    Well, he’d survive a little attitude from a teenager. How bad could it be?
