    Summary

    Verso could use a fake boyfriend to get his mother off his back.
    Sciel introduces Gustave.
    They agree on a mutually beneficial arrangement.

    It's supposed to be simple—hold hands, attend events together, survive his family, and be convincing enough.

    They're pretending.
    They're somehow excellent at pretending—and also terrible at it.
    They promise to keep things simple.
    Then immediately do the emotional equivalent of lighting the rulebook on fire.

    Somewhere between "practice," an ungodly late night phone call, and the catastrophic one‑bed situation, the line between fake and real quietly packs its bags and leaves.

    Summary

    “You’ve never liked girls,” Linhardt said. His voice was still just as calm and matter-of-fact as usual, but he spoke slower, like he was confused at Caspar’s confusion.

    The library felt stuffier than ever, the sunlight and the old books more oppressive than they were just moments ago. Caspar felt sweat on the back of his neck as he stared at Linhardt, wide-eyed, processing that.

    “I didn’t mean to upset you,” Linhardt said after another moment of pause, his lips downturned into a frown. “I thought you must know that.”

    ++

    Caspar never realizes anything without Linhardt telling him first.

    Summary

    Verso Dessendre - The new COO - is dangerously competent, infuriatingly attractive, and absolutely pretending not to flirt- or incredibly blind and unaware. Debatable.

    Gustave has a crush anyway.

    Sciel and Lune are chaos gremlins : Not helping, placing bets, and unabashedly shipping it.
    A slow descent into mutual ruin ensues.

    Summary

    Before Maelle leaves the canvas for good, she fulfills Verso's wish to be mortal but also makes him promise to look after Gustave. Even though he's reclutant at first, Verso quickly discovers that maybe it won't be that difficult to keep that promise. Gustave's company is not so bad and maybe he does have it in him to try to enjoy life again.

    A Verstave comic.

    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

    “You have a dog?” Gustave asks in lieu of a greeting, unable to distinguish what kind of dog it was. Medium to large in size he would think, his head is about half way up Verso’s thigh sitting next to him. His coat was short, light caramel brown, black and white fur, medium size nose length and pointed ears. ‘Definitely a mutt of some variety, maybe something with a terrier?’

    “Good morning to you too, Gustave. Can I help you?” Verso asks, his tone seemingly annoyed but he had an amused tilt to his lips that was on its way to a smile.

    AU - In which everyone in the canvas ends up reasonably adjusted, and Verso has a dog.

    Summary

    Verso Dessendre needs a fake boyfriend for his family's annual Christmas trip to the Alps.

    Gustave Rénier—his childhood crush and the man he hasn't seen in ten years—needs a reason to say yes to something reckless for once in his carefully organized life.

    What starts as a week of pretense in a snow-covered chalet becomes something neither of them expected: late-night conversations, stolen touches, and the slow realization that some things were never fake to begin with.

    Seven days. One bed. Two people who've been wanting each other for far too long.

    Sometimes the best love stories start with a lie.

    Summary

    ”Gustave lights a lamp in the kitchen, rolls up his sleeves and starts making dinner.

    He does it, step by step, follows the old family recipe even though he’s exhausted to the very bone-marrow, even though his muscles are sore and the lethargy drags him towards the floor boards like a lead weight.”

    In which Gustave makes food, Verso keeps showing up and they slowly start healing together.

    Or; five times Gustave cooks something and one time it's Verso's turn.

    Summary

    Robert would spend this Christmas the exact same way he always did, on his own, asleep by eleven, just like any other day in any other month. Where he would impose on nobody and take up a space from pity in anyone else’s life.

    -

    Set in the same universe as ‘the intolerant brightness of your charms’, set after the main story.

    Summary

    “One of these days I’m gonna burn that smug fucking look right off your face.”

    Robert could reply with snark, a well-timed retort. He had it loaded.

    Instead, he stares.

    Like the way you're supposed to stare at the sun when it hates you, and you love it anyway.

    “God, you're beautiful.”

    Flambae arched a brow. “Yeah? I fucking know. Mirrors exist. But thanks.”

    Or,

    Robert is in love with SDN’s resident flaming asshole.

    Unfortunately, the flaming asshole is the only one who doesn't know.

    Summary

    After the defeat of Shroud and the newly acquired fame of the Z-Team, everything should be just hunky dory for Chad.

    Flambae offers to do Waterboy a favor. And Waterboy wants to have sex. But not with Flambae, of course.

    ---

    "It’s mostly a thing- an issue of-” he stops, takes a very deep breath, starts again, “I want to have sex."

    Flambae whips around so fast he slips on the shower tile. “What the fuck?” he asks, “That’s not a favor, Wet-fart-boy. That’s a fucking HR violation."

    Summary

    Herman is known online in some circles as Mecha-Man’s #1 fan. After Mecha-Man retires, he’s completely devastated until someone dares to ask him why he likes Mecha-Man so much.

    Of course, he’d pass away if he knew the person that asked him WAS Mecha-Man. Good thing that the account is anonymous…

    Summary

    Later in the evening following Shroud’s defeat, Robert and Courtney grab tacos for dinner. Then get up to a bunch of other wholesome activities like meeting the Z team for celebratory drinks and fucking. Things get a little domestic. Mecha Man takes his place at the head of the Z team while the last vestiges of the Red Ring accept a dangerous offer for a chance at revenge. Malevola confronts her past. Visi pushes herself to be more. Robert tries to solve a mystery. Golem learns painful truths.

    Post-Canon Epilogue to help cope until s2 formerly titled “embarassing” because it started as a 1shot fluff scene of the same name and morphed into more of my interpretation of the post-canon story.

    It’s gotten a bit out of hand with the world building but it’s a lot of fun to write.

    In all fairness how was invisigal supposed to know the entire team started eavesdropping (Okay scratch that she actually should’ve known considering she knows those fuckers) but hey! At least they don’t think Robert IS Mecha Man…

    Or

    Some of the Z-Team overhear the end of an argument and misunderstand.

    Summary

    “Oh- oh shit…” Robert dropped to his knees, crawling over him. That’s when he saw them: two bloody holes torn through Flambae’s shoulder and stomach. Bright red blood poured out like a river. Flambae had been shot. A spike of cold punched down Robert’s spine, even though the body under his hands radiated heat.

    Or, Flambae took a bullet for Robert (actually, two bullets), despite claiming he’d never do that. They both end up learning a lot about themselves and each other afterward.
