Summary
Verso thought he had his bloodthirst under control.
So why... why, why, why did he feel so overwhelmed with thirst the moment he saw Gustave? Why did the scent of that candy-sweet blood make him feel like he could drain every living creature on the Continent of every drop of their blood and still not be satisfied?
And why—
Why can't he bring himself to walk away again?

Summary
Seeing him is like living again in ignorance. A time before his world became Fractured – both metaphoric and literal. Seeing him is remembering there was once a time when he thought he could be happy, where he could be happier than anyone else. Seeing him is like the clouds of his life blowing away – like everything he learned 60 years ago was a lie and he can go back to those days where nothing mattered except the sound of keys composing a new melody combined with the sounds of pencil scratching across a journal.
Seeing him is impossible, Verso thinks, because his Gustave died 60 years ago – left to a heartbreaking fate because Verso could not tell him the tragic truth of their world.
Or: Before the Fracture, Verso Dessendre and Gustave were inevitable. When their world split apart, Verso believed Gustave to have died in the aftermath. Why, then, is Gustave alive in Lumière far after his date of Gommage?

Summary
"So," he started, voice nonchalant, "when are you going to talk to him?"
Hotch only stared at him, an unreadable expression on his face.
"Aaron, it doesn't take a profiler to see that you have more than a soft spot for sleeping angel here."
At that, Hotch turned his head to look at Reid, careful not to wake him. The faintest of smiles played around his lips — most people would have missed it as it was gone before it had really appeared. But David Rossi wasn't most people, and that look was all he needed to confirm his suspicions.
"Don't," he said before Hotch even had a chance to start talking. "You're his boss; you're older than him; you have to think about the team... So what?"
On a plane ride home, Dave decides to take matters into his own hands. Someone has to, after all.

Summary
“Have the parents been briefed?” JJ asks, glancing up from her file.
Hotch’s face is as impassive as ever, save for the slight tightening of his mouth, and there’s a short second of hesitation before he answers. “Parent.”
Morgan frowns. “What d’you mean?”
“Parent, singular,” Hotch clarifies. “There’s only one parent.” He sighs, closing his eyes for a brief second as the team watches on in confusion. When he opens them again, he glances down at the remote in his hand, clicking the button as another image shows up on the screen. “The victim is Spencer David Rossi.”

“i don’t know how to pretend that i can breathe when spencer hates me,” jj’s voice is barely above a whisper, rasping as tears threaten to fall over her lash line.
instead of offering peace like she’d expected, morgan simply says, “how do you think he held it together when he found out that you were lying to him for ten weeks? take that feeling, and bottle it, just like he did when he thought his best friend was dead.”
