    Summary

    "The first time Verso had held Alicia in his arms like this, as something as fragile as a figment of a dream at the waking dawn—the memory of her both borrowed without intent yet oh so real, oh so cherished all the same—there had been a cry so fierce in her tiny lungs as steely had been the grasp of her tinier yet fingers around his thumb—stronger yet the grasp of her innocent gaze around his heart.

    [...]

    But as Verso holds Maelle now in that same manner, his hands now shaking and his eyes blurred with pooling tears, there is no healthy cry spilling from her lips but a litany of agonizing whimpers, no bundle of joy so small and yet so heavy in his infant arms but instead a body much too frail and weakened despite its youth that had seemed to wither in cruel slow motion in his embrace as the years had passed, innocence still etched in her expression yet not mirth any longer in her eyes as they bleed a terrible sadness among the swirling colors of his prison and her own."

    — — —

    Or: in which Maelle has spent much too long inside the Canvas, and Verso is decided to save her.

    Summary

    Peter finally meets his eyes. He looks almost… scared? No, that’s too much, he’s just a little disheveled. Like he ran here after seeing something scary. Or baffling. Okay, maybe Foggy is letting his thoughts run a little wild. “I just… I saw…” Peter doesn’t come in. “It doesn’t matter, it’s nothing. I shouldn’t have come. Bye, Mr. Nelson! Miss Claire!”

    Before Foggy can process the rapid-succession words Peter just sent his way, the boy is out the door for good and swinging between buildings already. “Huh.”

    Summary

    A primal was summoned with an immense amount of chroma and could temper anyone close by. It was like a magical parasite, worming its way into one’s mind until anyone would turn into its thrall, serving it unapologetically. He had read recovered letters of how friends had turned against friends, parents had killed their children, and throats had been cut by their own bodies.

    The worst part was that they couldn’t even leave the primal alone.

    Lumière was running out of supplies and they had to make the continent livable.

    And that just so included slaying an immortal primal that could temper them if they dared to get too close.

    God, Gustave needed a drink.

    Verso is a primal trying to die. His family are also immortal thanks to his accidental tempering, but in an irony of fate, some of them can resist his orders if it's "for his own good" (Renoir, mostly).

    Come in expedition 33 and Gustave, who feels Verso's presence and seek him. From there, Verso accompany the team for Act 1 and act 2.

    It was not the Lumière of her childhood to which she had returned, and it never would be again. How could it? After everything they had gone through? Too much had changed.

    The city. The world.

    Her.

    Some scars simply could not—should not—be painted over. Not even with all the power to shape creation’s design at your beck and call.

    They would remain, but so would you.

    or: With Gustave's help, Verso learns to let go.

    // a canon divergent exploration of what it means to be alive and the reasons we find to continue. tomorrow comes.

    Summary

    "This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?” It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.

    Something softens in Verso’s expression.

    Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being repainted and brought back. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him. And it's all downhill from there.

    Summary

    Mostly canon-compliant continuation of the story starting from the Maelle ending.

    Renoir has been defeated and We Continue. Gustave and Lune wrestle with some unexpected complications of living with a Paintress who has absolute control over their world. Verso is trapped into a life he never wanted. And the Writer/Painter war isn't quite over.

    ----
    A storyteller sat in the shade of an overhang on the streets of Lumiere, catching the attention of several dozen people who had wandered over for the promise of entertainment.

    The storyteller’s voice carried with a booming solemnity “Gather round, good citizens of Lumiere, to hear my tale…”

    “We are gathered round!” Someone heckled cheerfully from the back.

    “Yeah,” someone else shouted from the other side of the crowd. “We can’t gather rounder!”

    Maelle is abusing her paintress powers. Gustave feel something is off, some memories erased and Sophie acting less than herself. Lune need a new mystery to unravel. Verso is angry and bitter and *trapped*, desperate to escape but kept under Blank guards in the manor by Maelle.

    Gustave and Lune kidnaps him from his prison to interrogate him, as one does. One cannot plan for everything though.

    Maybe a naive interference from a writer who think his family has gone too far might offer a solution.

    A well rounded up story!

    Summary

    He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.

    A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.

    At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…

    It’s not Maelle.

    No, it’s Gustave.

    Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

    Summary

    "Are the voices inside your head still yours, Lune?"

    She cut him a withering glare, dozens of truths and memorized speeches caught in her throat. He met her gaze dead on, irises near colorless where they once held a hint of blue. He didn't look away, and neither could she.

    "Are yours?"

    ---

    Nearly three years after saving the Canvas, Lune is restless. She's uncovered every mystery, solved every problem, and reached the limit of what the world can give her. Never before has she felt the world so small. The only remaining questions all circle back to the man she refuses to see, and who has isolated himself from everyone else. But when a dangerous new Nevron threatens the city and Maelle disappears, Lune has no choice but to go to him for answers.

    Verso wants nothing more than to die. He'll settle for destroying any sliver of love between himself and those he called friend. But when Lune brings word of Maelle's disappearance and a Nevron he's never heard of, even he can't ignore the opportunity.

    Once bound by respect and something deeper, Lune and Verso have nothing but distrust and loathing between them. They'll need more than that to save Maelle from the Nevron--and herself.

    Summary

    It had been five years since their gods had been forced out of the Canvas. Five years, for them, in which Gustave had had to wrap his head around not only the events after his death — of Canvas Worlds and a grieving family, of a dead brother and the remains of a soul pushed past its breaking point — but also of their future. A future they now, apparently, had for years and years to come, if his friends were to be believed.

    Summary

    Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

She tells the winners everything about her and being a Paintress, but still Gustave is bothered by his missing memories - pushed by Sciel, he end up talking to the ’pianist’ (trapped in the Opera), who reluctantly reveal Maelle will die from staying. They escape the city with Esquie and Monoco just as Maelle threaten to paint over Gustave’s memories: now is time to plan (to rebel, to get her out of the canvas).
    (Maelle had a child living with her, which she also call Verso. Gustave is Gustave, but only as much as pVerso ’is’ og Verso).

    "The dark waves are seething and gurgling, licking the caramel sand like a thirsty animal laps up the water by the stream; and they whisper words of wisdom in their mysterious oceanic language few can understand. They spew well-polished stones and pieces of colorful glass onto the shore, underwater treasures tangled in a mess of rotting seaweed. But among the usual aquatic gifts, there’s one in particular that differs from other inanimate objects; it is a body of a young man, pale skin shining under the bright moon light with an almost otherworldly glow."

    Verso Dessendre finds himself laying on the familiar shore, water in his lungs and a ringing silence in his head. How did he end up in the Canvas again, and why does it look so different from what he painted years ago, as a child?

    Gustave discover Verso and Maelle’s endless war. He yearn to find a compromise between these two extremes (he leans, as he always has, towards Maelle’s side). He yearn to show Maelle they should not be puppets to reset as she please.
    In the end it all just lead to another fight in the canvas backstage. Verso finally get his death, and Maelle’s return home (rejected by Gustave as a threat to Lumiere, the very person she created the utopia for).
