Every single year, we fail.
But this time, we’re not alone.

Summary
Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.
A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.

Summary
Heated Rivalry meets Free! in this slow-burn swimming romance with messy feelings, competitive angst, and two idiots who take a decade to figure out they're in love.
They stared at each other. The anger had shifted into something else, something charged and dangerous that made Gustave's heart hammer for reasons that had nothing to do with the fight.
"I hate you," Gustave said. It came out wrong—not angry, almost desperate.
"I hate you too," Verso said, and his eyes were dark, intense, fixed on Gustave's face.Gustave Augustin has spent his entire swimming career finishing second to Verso Dessendre. At 18, they finally meet at French Nationals. The rivalry is instant. The attraction is unwanted. The hookup is inevitable.
The nine-year toxic situationship? That's where it gets complicated.
Because they have rules: just physical, no feelings, no one can know. They follow them religiously—until they can't anymore.Now they are forced to choose: keep hiding, or risk everything.

Summary
Verso didn't expect to meet his soulmate in a bakery. He also didn't expect said soulmate to be the only man in the capital unable to recognize the crown prince by name.
He isn't complaining, this is the first time in years he's been able to exist as himself and not as an extension of his family.
Surely, it won't hurt to keep up the pretense for a little while?
AN: This is the main story, all other fics in the series are bonus content.

Summary
There is a man on the street, staring up at Gustave’s apartment.
He’s dressed well — a sharp suit cracked with gold, wavy dark hair combed back and shot through with white. His cold blue eyes are rimmed red as if he’s been crying for a while. He feels… important somehow, like a missing piece to a puzzle Gustave has yet to uncover.
Or: Gustave navigates resurrection in the wake of Maelle taking over the canvas, and meets a not-so-stranger he cannot place in his memory.
