    Summary

    Slowburn Verso/Gustave set in a Bridgerton-inspired regency era Lumiere, as Benedict Bridgerton/Sophie Baek.

    The Dessendres are hosting the first Masquerade ball of the season, and eligible bachelor Verso despises everything and everyone involved with the blasted thing.
    Gustave just wants to anonymously enjoy his first and only ball - is that too much to ask?

    Summary

    Forget love. Forget painting. The residents of Lumiere just want to live. To survive. It's all they've ever wanted. And finally, with Aline and Renoir Dessendre barred from the Canvas, they might be able to. Lumiere comes back to life, and our heroes rebuild. Soon though, they'll realize that everything isn't quite as it seems, and their existence is much more fragile than they had believed. Gustave, Verso, Lune and the others will have to push the boundaries of reality to secure a permanent future for their world.

    OR: We can still fix it without a secret third ending! It'll just take a while. And may or may not involve rewriting the laws of physics.

    Summary

    Verso knows his soul is not original to him. A stitched-up, fractured, and glued-together thing, stained with memories not his own and heavy with the grief of unimaginable loss. His very existence is a farce, a tragedy played out in canvas and ink. He wants nothing so much as to end it. To give the ragged remains of a soul back to the one who created him, let her find someone else to carry the burden and the memory of the man to whom it once belonged. And yet. And yet, still, buried deep inside him is the desire to make this second-hand soul his own. To take the old discarded thing and make it into something new. To live, as they all deserve to live. All he needs is someone to show him the way.

    Summary


    "I'm leaving Paris," Verso says brusquely, by way of a greeting. He has never been very good with words; that has always been Papa's strength, not his.

    Gustave inhales sharply, watching him in silence, his hands clutching his notebook so hard the spine begins to twist.

    "You want me to come with you," he says finally, looking at Verso as though he has entirely lost his mind.

    Or:

    Time is running out. With war looming over Belle Epoque Paris, Verso must make a choice between his duty to his family and the young Writer who has unknowingly stolen his heart.

    He chooses Gustave.
