    Summary

    Gustave Virlogeux, lead engineer for a luxury watch manufacturer, has spent two years decidedly not staring at head designer Verso Dessendre's ponytail. He has been very professional about this. He has never once thought about yanking that ridiculous ribbon loose and finding out just how that infuriating voice sounds while begging for more.

    Verso Dessendre, on the other hand, has spent two years definitely not thinking about Gustave Virlogeux's capable hands. He has been extremely composed. He has absolutely no opinion on what those oil-stained fingers might feel like wrapped around his cock, and he only got a hard-on at work twice. A week.

    When they both sign up for the same anonymous hookup app in order to blow off some steam and match with a stranger who is devastatingly, inconveniently perfect — well. At least it's not a workplace romance.

    Right?

    (Getting stuck in an elevator has nothing to do with it.)

    Summary

    Maelle took over the Canvas, which Verso has several issues with. 1) He's still alive, 2) Maelle won't leave, 3) he has complicated feelings for a man he let die, 4) that man has been resurrected and fucking hates him, and 5) that man has been showing up at his house uninvited when he's fucked up. He really didn't think he'd be alive to face the consequences of his actions, but he is. The guilt has hardened into a pit which has taken up permanent residency in his chest. Unfortunately, he has no option but to keep going.

    Summary

    After Maelle's victory, Gustave is struggling to adjust. If it weren't so damn pathetic, it might even be funny: the broken engineer, unable to fix himself. But with Lumière in ruins, there is no time for self-pity. His people need him, and he won't let them down.

    Never again.

    Now if only Verso bloody Dessendre would stop accidentally falling asleep on his furniture…

    Or: Verso can't sleep unless Gustave is near. Somehow, it becomes Gustave's problem to solve — and the key to both their salvation. (Complete)

    Summary

    It has been 8 months since Maelle kicked her family out of the Canvas and chose to stay. Gustave's friends and family have all embraced their second chance at life but Gustave is struggling to accept their new reality. He has thrown himself into his work to keep his mind off of everything but now he has been tasked with collecting study samples from the Continent. No one else is able or willing to join him on the trip and travelling alone is unsafe. Luckily, Maelle convinced Verso to go so Gustave could have someone to watch his back. Gustave and Verso have never really spoken and barely know each other, but a whole month on the Continent together is enough time to change that.

    5 times Gustave had to be on corpse management duty + 1 time Verso had to instead
