Summary
Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.
A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.
Updates on Tuesdays.

Summary
Gustave Dessendre died in Paris in December 1905.
But in Lumière, another Gustave opens his eyes and tries to fight back the erosion of his world. As time grows short, Verso waits across the ocean on the Continent - and makes his own plans for the destruction of his creator.
Or: What if Gustave had been a Dessendre instead of Verso?

Summary
Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.
Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?
Verso was tired.
“Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”
Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.

Summary
'So as you can see, we have much to discuss', Clea said somewhere behind him. 'Let's - Verso!'
Her sharp admonishment had barely taken form before his fingers had already reached right into the shimmering chroma and the atelier blurred before his eyes. His being lurched forward, pulled into the canvas with that familiar feeling of weightlessness, gravity shifting around him until it no longer connected him to the floor but to the painting in front of him. When his vision cleared, he found himself floating in the Between.
In the back of his head, he heard Clea's exasperated sigh.
--------------
Verso Dessendre survives the writer's trap. When he returns home to find most of his family lost in his old canvas, he goes to save them. Meeting his doppelganger was unexpected.

Summary
Gustave, since he lost half his arm, his body had felt foreign to him, like he was off balance all the time (even literally sometimes). He had read stories of people using tattoos as a way to reclaim their autonomy, to reclaim themselves.
That was what he was hoping this would do for him.
And Verso, his Tattoo Artist, accidentally puts a little of his painter magic into Gustave's tattoo.
