    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

    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

    Modern AU - by Gustave’s definition, he is most certainly not a virgin, (frottage to the point of mutual completion back in his high school days) but that definition just isn’t doing it anymore at 32, so he goes to a bar for a hookup just to get rid of all of his fucking nerves about the whole thing, not even expecting it to be a good time.

    Cue in Verso, who just goes home with Gustave expecting a quick one night stand - only to once he finds out about how Gustave’s never had real sex before, to show him just how good it can be, over multiple hookups, slowly but surely falling completely for him and stopping his fuck-boi tendencies

    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.
