    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

    “That’s Lune,” Sophie whispered. “You two would make a lovely couple… Or maybe something already happened…”

    Gustave didn’t respond.
    He would have been lying if he claimed the thought had never crossed his mind. Even Maelle, with her too-perceptive teenage intuition, had already teased him about it. And now, Sophie was joining in.

    But every time that idea began to take shape in his mind, a shadow would sweep it away. A shadow bearing Sophie’s name.

    Why this obsessive loyalty to a story that had ended?
    Perhaps because a part of him had never truly turned the page.

    And now, it was too late.
    In a few hours, Sophie would be nothing but a memory. They would leave for Expedition 33.
    And both of them would likely be dead within the year.

    Maybe that was his greatest regret.

    What If : in the heart of the expedition, buried feelings could change the course of everything?

    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.
