    Summary

    Everyone is born with a soulmate, and over the course of their lives together - they share scars. A scar one person receives shows on their soulmate, in addition to pain, and wounds they each receive.

    Verso has no scars, save the one on his eye that he keeps in place. All of the ones that he gets, fade away soon enough and heal thanks to the Paintress' magic.

    Gustave has scars that cover his entire body, from his face to his toes, not a single inch of him has been untouched from the pain and scarring that his soulmate has received.

    Summary

    Gustave awoke slowly. Morning light hit him with an unyielding wrath that had him wincing and groaning. He had not slept very well, his anxiety from the night before tumbling through him like silt in a river. Quietly to himself he began to recount events. His coat had been stolen, he was married, and his husband had claimed him.

    Verso hadn't known he had become a living legend, until a doe eyed inventor caught him standing outside his apartment building.

    A story that explores a world where Verso met Gustave long before Expedition 33.

    Summary

    Verso had lied. There was, in fact, one Writer he despised more than all of the others combined.

    Intelligence and beauty all in one, the most dangerous weapon of all: the omega son of the Head of the Writers Council.

    "I would rather die than marry you," Verso spat.

    "Good, then," Gustave grinned, fangs showing. "For you are the last alpha whom I could ever be prevailed upon to marry."

    "I pity your poor fiancée."

    "And I pity yours, if you ever do manage to marry. But with your luck, they might just dump you after stealing your secrets again."

    Summary

    The Dessendre family has ruled over Paris' criminal underground for as long as Gustave can remember. Murder, theft, trafficking, there is no crime they haven't committed, yet their wealth and influence has allowed them to walk free for generations. For Gustave and his allies, taking down the family's matriarch, Aline Dessendre, is the only way to free Paris from villainy.

    Unfortunately for him, fighting the Paintress comes with many unexpected challenges, including foiling the plans of the elusive thief Visages and getting into a fake relationship with Aline's only son, Verso.

    An Enemies to Lovers story in which Gustave is a vigilante with a stalking problem and the Dessendres are supervillains.

    Summary

    He tells himself, as he huddles over the campfire while the others sleep and tries to keep the pain inside, that it's for the best. Gustave was always already gone. Verso will end the Canvas and, if he doesn't, Aline will die and Renoir will destroy the Canvas anyway. The end, whatever form it takes, is close and Verso's lived with worse guilt for longer.

    Or: Verso sacrifices Gustave, and his bond, to end everything and free his family. Only nothing (because he's Verso) goes as planned. Maelle wins, Gustave comes back, and so do the bleeding remnants of something that barely existed.

    Summary

    Of all the sights Verso Dessendre had expected to see when he stepped into an alley two filthy corners away from the rue Laplace, it was not this: an omega with his back to a medieval wall, sword held in one steady hand, holding two alphas at bay.

    Or: It's midsummer in the Paris of the Belle Époque and Verso Dessendre's strange, half-lived life starts to change forever, while Gustave Auclair only hopes his changes for the better--and that the annoying alpha who's suddenly turned up to disrupt everything would just go away.

    Summary

    In both worlds, a little boy went out to gather herbs for his mother. In both worlds, that little boy got lost. In both worlds, a wandering elf pointed the way home to the little boy. In both worlds, the elf made a field of flowers to help the little boy relax.
    In one world, the little boy would go home, eventually become an orphan, befriend a drunken priest in training, and at some point, that young man would start a journey to kill the demon king. The man would one day find the elf again, and invite her into his party. In this world, a False Hero, a Drunken Priest, a Cowardly Warrior, and an Elven Mage killed the demon king.
    In another world, the little boy’s mother is deathly ill. Despite being scared, in this world, he was just a little bolder, asking the elf if she could maybe help his mother. In this world, the elf and boy stick together, alongside the drunken priest in training. In this world, the group forms early, forming unbreakable bonds of love and trust.

    Summary

    He plunges his sword into the ground — a familiar, practiced motion. The world pauses for a moment, and he sees the purple threads of blighted chroma ensnaring Gustave; pulls, yanking them towards himself. The pulsing chroma freezes for a second, tightening around the engineer. Then, like a pouncing predator, jumps at Verso.

    The world starts moving again. A wave of nausea and fatigue almost knocks Verso to the ground, and it’s a miracle that he manages to dodge the next attack.

    Gustave is staring at him, trying to process what just happened.

    “Run,” Verso croaks.

    Or: 5 times Verso carried Gustave’s burden and the 1 time Gustave carried his.

    Summary

    Gustave survives his encounter with Renoir, all thanks to the help of a mysterious (and handsome) stranger named Verso. While Gustave is grateful, he also remains on guard, uncertain about why Verso has so graciously decided to not only help, but also join their expedition. Driven by curiosity, he chats with the man, determined to find out more.

    However, with each conversation, Gustave discovers new and surprising depths to Verso. At the same time, he finds himself being drawn closer, both physically and emotionally, something that is as frightening as it is electrifying.

    And when it becomes increasingly clear that Verso feels the same about him, how deep is he willing to fall?

    Summary

    Maelle painted Verso back to the world. Yet his awakening brought not peace, but pure agony. His sister was still a self-imposed prisoner, and before him stood his most profound regret... Gustave, alive once more.

    A new expedition could become their blank canvas. A dangerous opportunity for redemption, a journey to reconcile with grief. To endure, the musician and the engineer must unite as a single force and confront the emotions growing between them.

    Love, however, is a perilous prospect, and hearts are easily shattered. Yet the truest portraits are forged from both light and darkness.

    Summary

    The thing that sits in front of him is a bloody mess. A ghost oozing blood in the pale moonlight of the continent, a most terrifying hallucination, one that Verso is beginning to get used to.

    It is a manifestation of his guilt, one that is not likely to go away for sometime. The thing, the man, was named Gustave. And his absence is an unfillable void, one that Verso has no choice but to take. He made that void in the first place.

    He sees Gustave on quiet lonely nights, he catches glimpses of him through dense trees, and sometimes as a dark sentinel standing far away in the distance.

    But tonight the ghost has joined him next to the fire of the expedition's camp.

    Summary

    Vernon Roche remembers nothing of his life. He wouldn't have even known his name, had it not been screamed at him by the first people he met. He would have chalked it up to bad luck, if he wasn't forced to fight for his life again and again and not even know why. It seemed he had made many enemies in the past. The first person who recognises him and doesn't immediately try to cut off his head is a one-eyed elf.

    Alternatively: Roche loses his memories and Iorweth takes full advantage.

    Summary

    “I want to die.”

    That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”

    “I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”

    Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.
