    Summary

    “Wait! Verso, damn it, wait, what-”

    Fingers close around his wrist. He freezes, paralyzed; his arms are held down again, stripping him of the ability to defend himself, and a familiar-unfamiliar voice is ringing in his ears, and he is tugged and turned around, and soon the bruises on his wrists are going to be the least of his problems, because… because…

    “Verso. Verso, look at me. Hey, look at me.”

    Or: Maelle brings back a certain someone from Verso's past. Things do not go well, and Verso ends up on the doorstep of the only person in Lumière who makes him feel safe.
    (It's a shame things between them are not that simple.)

    Summary

    “I want to die.”

    That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”

    “I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”

    Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.

    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.

    Summary

    He should be comforting him, right?

    That's what you're supposed to do, when someone loses someone important to them. You're meant to tell them that you're there for them, and show it at every opportunity. You're meant to hold them close and let them hide from the world, face tucked under your chin or pressed against your shoulder or buried into your chest. You're meant to show that you care.

    Verso doesn't know how to do any of that.

    It scares him, that he doesn't know when he forgot how to.

    "Pick up your weapons," Monoco says, and there is no trace of anything light in his voice. He is seriously, deadly serious. "Now, Verso."
