    Summary

    Adelia feels her life is ending.

    Her father has whittled away the family fortune, leaving them destitute. Desperate to hold on to his lands and holdings, Adelia's father agrees to marry her off to a mysterious Baron for a large sum of money. Adelia has heard horrific tales of the Baron's monstrous nature and is beyond terrified at this arrangement but has no choice but to bend to the will of her father.

    Adam Frankenstein is a recluse. He knows that people whisper about him, his refusal to make public appearances without donning a mask does nothing to quell the rumors. They say he is cursed, deformed, a monster, and perhaps this is true. He has been advised to take a wife, to solidify his influence in the High Society of Europe. He reluctantly agrees, if only to uphold the memory of his creator.

    Married, but still strangers.

    Will there be friendship or vitriol, romance or resentment?

    *Takes place 10 years after the death of Victor Frankenstein*

    (Heavily inspired by Beauty and the Beast)

    Summary

    Sophie is the first one to come to him.

    He opens the door after more than ten minutes of occasional gentle knocking. Not violent by any means, a quiet rasp against the door, incessant only in its repetition and unwillingness to take silence as an answer. He stares down at her when it opens, her hair neatly styled under a bright red hat, fashionable blouse and a skirt that matches her beret, her face twinged with just the slightest bit of annoyance at having to wait so long for him to answer.

    “Can I help you?” Verso asks, put out at having to answer the door, at having to use his voice at all, when he’d much rather be curled up in the darkness of his own room, his own mind, while he waits for the next concert to begin.

    She pushes past him before he can think to block her path, and immediately heads for the kitchen of his apartment, “You Monsieur, look even worse up close. I knew you hadn't been taking care of yourself the moment I saw you last week on stage. When was the last time you even ate?”

    “And what business is it of yours whether I take care of myself?” He asks, his tone sharp, hoping that the bristles of his attitude are enough to annoy her into leaving.

    Summary

    Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

    --
    Or: Maelle returns Lumière to its former glory, but... things just seem a bit off. Gustave investigates.

    Summary

    Sciel and Lune have desired Verso ever since they met him. Despite him obscuring the truth, they can't help but be charmed by his playful banter and deep blue eyes, the quirk of his lips when he smiles. He's a mystery, looking at them with desire but always refuting their advances... But when the truth of their reality is revelated, Lune & Sciel decide to help Verso let go of his emotional baggage and show him that this painted life may just be worth living after all.

    Lune/Verso/Sciel ménage à trois (threesome). Some angst and fluff, but mostly smut. Primarily Verso's point of view.
