    Summary

    Gustave Dessendre died in Paris in December 1905.

    But in Lumière, another Gustave opens his eyes and tries to fight back the erosion of his world. As time grows short, Verso waits across the ocean on the Continent - and makes his own plans for the destruction of his creator.

    Or: What if Gustave had been a Dessendre instead of Verso?

    Summary

    Putain de merde!
    He had fucked up...

    For weeks he had been planning this, had been carefully following the little group, waiting for Renoir to finally confront them and take down one or two of them, so Alic- Maelle... Maelle would see how important it was to fight the Paintress... so she wouldn't have any more attachments to this damn world.

    Verso had been up on the ledge, next to his sister. Had been waiting in the shadows for his father to kill this man... Gustave.
    And then he'd suddenly had found himself down there by the cliff parrying the blow, which was supposed to end Gustave's life.

    ---

    Verso stops his father from dealing the killing blow and with this his troubles only get started!

    Summary

    In order to bring Gustave back as himself, whole, Maelle had to infuse him with Pure Chroma, something wielded only by Painters.

    This Pure Chroma responds to intent, just like it does for Painters.

    As life begins again - Gustave does not hesitate to support all of his friends and family - but now that support comes with a cost that he might no longer afford to be able to pay.

    Summary

    “I see you.”

    Something crosses between universes that should never touch. A vessel built for a blood ocean, broken open in deep space. Inside it, barely alive, a man no one was looking for and a tree that should not exist.

    Grace and Rocky did not ask for this. But Grace has not seen another human being in years, and the ruined stranger on his medbay table is, impossibly, alive.

    Simon has only ever known one law: everything costs something. Kindness is a debt. Care is a trap. He has no idea what to do with a man who keeps giving him things and asking for nothing back, and no framework at all for the one that terrifies him most: being seen, and not made to pay for it.

    Slow-burn. Two profoundly isolated people, one alien best friend, and the long work of learning to be safe.

    “Agreed.”
