    Summary

    The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:

    Maelle.

     

    OR

     

    Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.

    He's definitely not prepared for their children.

    Summary

    “You said you write every day. For eighteen years?”

    “...yes.”

    “That’s stupid.”

    “You-!”

    “Waste of time, energy, emotions - an unnecessary distraction. I knew you were a romantic, but this is just ridiculous,” Rei spits, crossing the floor to lean into Kazuki’s face. “If your soulmate is alive, they probably just want you to quit writing to them! How unlucky for them that you never could take a fucking hint!”

    --or--

    Somehow, Rei had become partners with his soulmate.
