Summary
What if Verso wasn't the one who died in the Writer's fire... but instead it was his little sister, Alicia? What if 'her' undead soul was the one being tortured in the canvas, thanks to him?
How far would someone go to keep the people they love safe? How far would someone go to finally lay themselves to rest? When do painted fiction and harsh reality begin to bleed together, unable to tell one from the other?
Is love enough of a driving force to stop a group of people from marching towards their own certain death? Or is it the spark that ignites the flame? -

Summary
"Are the voices inside your head still yours, Lune?"
She cut him a withering glare, dozens of truths and memorized speeches caught in her throat. He met her gaze dead on, irises near colorless where they once held a hint of blue. He didn't look away, and neither could she.
"Are yours?"
---
Nearly three years after saving the Canvas, Lune is restless. She's uncovered every mystery, solved every problem, and reached the limit of what the world can give her. Never before has she felt the world so small. The only remaining questions all circle back to the man she refuses to see, and who has isolated himself from everyone else. But when a dangerous new Nevron threatens the city and Maelle disappears, Lune has no choice but to go to him for answers.
Verso wants nothing more than to die. He'll settle for destroying any sliver of love between himself and those he called friend. But when Lune brings word of Maelle's disappearance and a Nevron he's never heard of, even he can't ignore the opportunity.
Once bound by respect and something deeper, Lune and Verso have nothing but distrust and loathing between them. They'll need more than that to save Maelle from the Nevron--and herself.

Summary
“Mark me,” Verso demanded against Gustave’s mouth. “I want to feel it tomorrow.”
Gustave’s eyes flashed. Then his mouth was on Verso’s throat, teeth scraping, biting, and the sharp pain made Verso gasp.
Gustave’s nails raked down Verso’s back, scratching hard enough to draw blood. Marking him, like he wanted . Claiming him.
And Verso loved the violence. Loved the proof that this was real, that Gustave wanted him enough to leave marks.The Fracture Zone is where people are sent to die.
Painters and Writers, enemies for five hundred years, embark on expeditions to reach the Monolith. None survive—until Expedition 33.
Gustave Virlogeux has lost almost everything, and his grief has turned to rage.
Verso Dessendre is already dead inside. The perfect weapon, buried so deep under control he can't remember what feeling looks like.
They've been circling each other for years: enemies on the battlefield, strangers in the dark.
Until one desperate choice binds them in forbidden magic, and suddenly they can't hide anymore.
They'll learn that some connections are stronger than hatred, and that some enemies were never meant to be enemies at all. -

Summary
Gustave could give less of a fuck what Verso Dessendre has been up to now that Lumiere has been restored and Maelle is dutifully taking breaks out of the canvas as per the agreement she struck with her family. But when Gustave finds Verso, broken and dying in an alleyway he finds himself worrying about the man he hates. And finding himself desperate to learn more about the man.
And if maybe the happily ever after Maelle gave Verso with a re-painted Julie is more torture than gift.
Perhaps Gustave can give Verso an ending he deserves. -

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.

Summary
The thing that sits in front of him is a bloody mess. A ghost oozing blood in the pale moonlight of the continent, a most terrifying hallucination, one that Verso is beginning to get used to.
It is a manifestation of his guilt, one that is not likely to go away for sometime. The thing, the man, was named Gustave. And his absence is an unfillable void, one that Verso has no choice but to take. He made that void in the first place.
He sees Gustave on quiet lonely nights, he catches glimpses of him through dense trees, and sometimes as a dark sentinel standing far away in the distance.
But tonight the ghost has joined him next to the fire of the expedition's camp.

Summary
The history of the Expeditions is over and from the remains of Lumiére Maelle wishes to recreate the world and help her brother find meaning. Verso has a hard time accepting her decisions and the consequences of his own, especially the broken trust of those that grew closer to him. He fights to find a reason to live on in this renewed world and he wishes to fix the broken relationships he left after himself. Buried under the determination to escape this life he finds feelings unfamiliar and unresolved, waiting to come to the surface. Gustave is brought back to life by the hands of Maelle as a changed man, no longer restricted by a limited lifetime. He has to decide what will he do now that all that he believed to be true changed fundamentally. What Lumiére’s rebuilding and Maelle staying in the Canvas will mean for them remains to be seen. But the Dessendre family outside of the Canvas and their war refuses to rest.
Set after Maelle’s ending, I’m trying to resolve my feelings and fill in the gaps in the meantime. I aim to explore the romances a bit more. Hope someone will find this entertaining😄 I also saw someone saying Verso doing what he did after the romance was a “villain move” and I took that personally.

Summary
-- The Canvas was hungry and so was he. Or maybe it was the other way around, Verso didn’t know anymore. Not that it was important either way. As long as he would receive food soon, the Canvas would remain, no matter what the Painters wanted or did. --
Everyone with the power to create has heard the stories at some point: Be careful with your craft, there is danger lurking in the dark. Creatures that feed off of your creation and attach themself to you, if you're not careful.
And yet sometimes you don't know what's happening, until it's too late... -

Summary
When you've been immortal for as long as Verso has, it's inevitiable that some of your deaths may have been more purposeful than others.
Picking fights that are impossible for you to win, making plans that are a little too risky, not following medical advice when you really should be following it to the letter; Verso has done those sorts of things thousands of times. Maybe even more than that.
Fuck, that's not even mentioning all of times that he—That's not the point, though.
The point, Verso thinks, is that he wasn't planning for this.
--
Alternatively, five times Verso dies and handles the consequences on his own, and one time they were handled for him. -
