    Summary

    The water is calm, reflecting her easily, a vision of a ghost, a warrior, a scared little girl, a liar and a murderer, and other things she hasn’t yet given a name, hasn’t dared look at too closely. Fighting, blood, bruises, aimless violence taking aim. Spying and subterfuge. This is what Radzig wants, and what she has to do to get what she wants. The only thing that matters. Revenge at any cost. Her father’s sword. It is the only thing. Isn’t it?

    His face flashes to the forefront of her mind, blue eyes, golden hair, matching the gold of his beautiful pourpoint, and she thinks of something other than the blood and the violence. Something a little softer. Something slightly more real.

     

    A girl dies in the ashes of Skalitz. Something else rises in her place.

    Summary

    After Maelle takes over the canvas, Verso struggles to find meaning in the new Lumière. At least, until Gustave offers him to participate in a project together. Slowly, Verso starts to see the man he left to die in a different light, as he also struggles with the guilt of knowing that he's slowly falling in love with him.

    Summary

    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

    Thomas’ eyes blink open, then fall on Vincent.

    “Vincent,” he murmurs blearily, voice hoarse. Then, he seems to register he's in his own apartment, outside of the Vatican. He rockets onto his elbows. “Vincent! What—”

    Vincent holds up the apartment key. “I let myself in. I hope you don't mind.”

    “Of course not! But—how did you get here?”

    “I walked.”

    “Through Rome?”

    “Well, I didn't walk through Venice.”

    ____

    Thomas and Vincent test the limits of their self-control. (It’s rapidly dwindling, given they have the keys to each other’s apartments.)
