Summary
”En gardé, monsieur!”

”What are your intentions towards Gustave?”
In which the apprentices have had enough of Verso & Gustave’s pining and confront Verso. They might also recruit some help while they're at it, and Verso suffers.

Summary
When Gustave re-joins his old dive crew, he doesn't expect to find their newest member so attractive, or so irritating. Verso pushes the boundaries of what is safe or practical for a human diver, taking risks that should by all rights have gotten him killed. He's reckless, arrogant, and a show-off. But there's something about him that draws Gustave like a moth to a flame.

Summary
In Lumière, where the city breathes steam and gold light through fractured streets, engineer Gustave lives a practical life built on calculations, infrastructure, and things that make sense. Then he collides with a stranger who feels disturbingly familiar.
Verso is sharp-eyed, scarred, and impossible to fully understand. He speaks like someone who has seen too much, watches Gustave like he already knows him, and carries an exhaustion that feels older than the city itself.
Gustave cannot explain why being near him feels less like meeting someone new and more like remembering something he was never meant to forget.
And Verso cannot stop looking at him like he is standing too close to the edge of a tragedy only one of them can see.

Summary
Gustave tried to remind himself that he actually enjoyed showing new people around the wildlife rehabilitation facility. Most of the times he did this, he was able to tell someone something new, and watch a spark light up in their eyes. It even happened with snooty rich people. Sometimes.
That was how the three Dessendre siblings found him.Bookmarked by Burningsecrets
