    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

    Gustave awoke to the gray light of early morning and Verso crouched beside the bed, two fingers wrapped around his wrist.

    "What," Gustave managed, "are you doing."


    "Your heart rate was elevated during sleep," Verso said, matter-of-factly. "Irregular breathing patterns. I wanted to ensure you were not experiencing a medical emergency."


    "I was dreaming," Gustave said, with extraordinary care. "People do that."


    Verso's brow creased slightly. "Oh." A pause, and something moved through his expression that resolved before Gustave could name it. "My apologies. I have logged this for future reference." He did not let go of Gustave's wrist.


    "You can let go now."


    "Your pulse is still elevate
    d."

    "Because you startled me awake."


    Verso stared at him, and for just a moment, something like annoyance flickered across his expression.

    In which Gustave comes across a destroyed android in the scrapyard. When VRS-0 wakes with no memory, neither of them are prepared for what comes next.

    Summary

    Pretty much what it says on the tin.

    And what kind of adventure do you have on a train? Obviously you solve a murder!

    Aline and Renoir Dessendre have retired from the Painter’s Council and relocated to the French Riviera, where they’ve planned a massive combined retirement and anniversary celebration. And all of their children, painted, in-law, and otherwise, are expected to attend.

    But plans are derailed when a young woman is murdered on Gustave and Verso’s train south, and the unfinished Canvas traveling with her disappears.

    Note: takes place in the universe established by the end of Une Vie a Vivre, but you don’t have to have read it first, the author’s note will have a run down of necessary background information.

    Summary

    She was going to Gommage. She had failed, and she was going to pay for it with her life.

    She couldn’t save Lumière. She couldn’t save her friends…

    She couldn’t save—

    “Gustave?!”

    * * *

    When Gustave wakes to find Lumière decimated and his friends beaten and bruised, his first instinct is to run to the sound of Maelle’s voice calling his name; her cries like a battering ram to his fragile heart, smashing it to pieces. He doesn’t know how he’s alive, or why. But when he tries to hug her — to hold his darling girl in his arms — she collapses.

    And that’s when he realizes something is very wrong.

    TLDR; Gustave was revived in Act III but something went horribly wrong.
