    Summary

    Look at me, he seems to say, even as he shrinks from the firelight and Lune’s broad, gesturing arms, Look how big and scary I am. I am a big dog. I will bite.

    But his eyes catch Gustave’s again, pale blue meeting bloodshot brown, and Verso’s mouth twitches, revealing a hint of fang, and Gustave thinks oh.

    Verso’s an Omega.

    Summary

    Gustave Aubert and Verso Dessendre have spent fourteen years perfecting the art of hating each other. Rivals since college, they cordially despise one another's existence—until they get trapped overnight in a freezing train car and are forced to share body heat, secrets, and a bottle of whiskey.

    But the dreams that follow are warmer than the reality they escaped. Dreams where Verso is soft. Kind. Everything Gustave has secretly wanted and never allowed himself to name, or reach for.

    When that dream version of Verso walks into their workshop wearing his face and offering him coffee, Gustave realizes he's made a terrible mistake. The entity wants to be real. It wants to replace the sharp-edged man Gustave has loved in secret since he was nineteen. And it's getting stronger every time he closes his eyes.

    Now there are two Versos—and only one can stay.

    Summary

    “Your friend hates me,” Gustave blurts out before he can talk himself out of it. “I— I don’t care if he doesn’t like me,” (Gustave does care), “but if it affects— it might become a problem. So, if I insulted him somehow or—”

    “You’re imagining this,” he expects to hear. Or, maybe — “Stop whining, you can’t be liked by everyone.”

    Instead of that, Verso rolls his eyes and makes an annoyed noise — half a sigh, half a growl.

    “You didn’t insult anyone,” says. Looks at Monoco.

    Gustave glances there too and discovers that the gestral’s mask is turned towards them — the painted eyes staring, it seems, right into his soul.

    …He is starting to regret bringing this up.

    Summary

    He dodges the Nevron's strike.

    He strikes back.

    It lands.

    The Nevron shrieks, losing its gracefulness for a moment. Verso smiles, triumphant; jumps sideways to avoid a spell. There’s the approaching stomping of another Nevron, probably a Stalact again; Verso laughs and opens his mouth to boast, to taunt Monoco, to brag about the first hit being his—

    The Stalact runs past the dancing Nevron, not even trying to hit it, and collides with Verso full-speed.

    It hurts.

    Or: Verso and Monoco encounter the Ballet for the first time. It doesn't go as planned.
