    Summary

    Gustave survives his encounter with Renoir, all thanks to the help of a mysterious (and handsome) stranger named Verso. While Gustave is grateful, he also remains on guard, uncertain about why Verso has so graciously decided to not only help, but also join their expedition. Driven by curiosity, he chats with the man, determined to find out more.

    However, with each conversation, Gustave discovers new and surprising depths to Verso. At the same time, he finds himself being drawn closer, both physically and emotionally, something that is as frightening as it is electrifying.

    And when it becomes increasingly clear that Verso feels the same about him, how deep is he willing to fall?

    Summary

    "This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”

    It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.

    Something softens in Verso’s expression.

    Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.

    They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

    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

    The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:

    Maelle.

     

    OR

     

    Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.

    He's definitely not prepared for their children.

    Summary

    There was a soft knock on the door. “Come in,” John called out, not bothering to get up.

    The door opened slowly, and then Bob shuffled in, dressed in a gray henley and flannel pants. It looked like he had taken a shower, his hair combed back, but still wet, and that this simple act of hygiene had worn him to the bone.

    "Can I sleep here?" he asked, voice hoarse. His eyes were red-rimmed, like he had been crying. "I don't want to be alone."

    ~*~

    Bob falls asleep in John's bed and traps them both in the Void's shame rooms. Will John be able to get them both out without making things worse?

    Summary

    "What do you say?" he asked Alpine as she rolled over in a sunbeam, exposing the white fluff of her stomach long enough for him to get a few good scratches in. "We spend the holidays in DC, eating takeout and pretending the outside world doesn't exist?"

    She meowed, and to him, it was as good as a yes.

    Summary

    “I’m psychotic. You know I’m psychotic. You’ve known that.” It was true, Yelena had known that, but she was shocked that Bob actually said the words he’d avoided for so long. “You’ve all known for months. Why are you mad at me for it now?”

    “Bob, I’m not mad.” She sounded a little mad, admittedly, but it was because she was irritated. Because it was impossible to talk to him about something that was so damn important. “I’m not mad at you, okay? I just want to understand what you’re going through so that I can help you.”

    “I don’t need help. I don’t want your help.”

    Bob, in the midst of an undiagnosed manic episode, decides to get his GED. Ava and Yelena join him.

    Summary

    When Steve gets outside, Billy’s up against the bricks at the far end of the bar. His lip is split and his nose is bleeding, and he’s going to have one hell of a black eye, Steve thinks. Billy’s got an arm curled around his ribs, too, and Steve knows enough about the way that Billy looks when he’s hurting to know that means he’s hurting bad.

    ~

    Back in Hawkins for the first time since they broke up, Steve's drawn to trouble in two ways. The first way has to do with monsters. The second way has to do with Billy Hargrove.

    Summary

    “Is this how you welcome your guests?” the guy grins, and that’s when John realizes that he still has him pressed to the wall. But the guy doesn’t make any moves to break free. His t-shirt grows damp against John’s soaked coat.

    He breathes deeply, chest rising and falling against John’s palm as he rests his head against the wall, meeting John’s eyes with a smirk, “Not that I’m complaining,” he breathes out, “but you are getting me a little wet here.”

    John’s frown deepens at the audacity, “Who the hell are you?”

    Yelena clears her throat and finally puts a stop to the weird tension between them. “Walker, this is Bob. Bob, this is Walker.”

    or,

    United for revenge, the Louvrebolts plan one big heist to take down their common enemy for good.

    “You think you’re ready to get back out there?” Bob asks.

    Walker sucks in a deep breath and lets it out slowly before meeting Bob’s eyes, “Honestly, the thought terrifies me.”

    Bob frowns, “Nothing terrifies you.”

    “I wouldn’t know what to do,” Walker confesses. The lack of confidence in his voice is jarring to Bob’s ears.

    “You could practise on me,” He offers.

    When Bob discovers that Walker is scared to date because the only experience he has is with his ex-wife, he offers to help him out. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    John isn't quite sure of his role in the new and fragile team he's ended up with after getting used to being assigned one all these years as a soldier and a shadow operative.

    Everyone else seems to fall into some designation or other—leader, strategist, moral compass, father figure, muscle—all of them pieces falling in a puzzle that John can't seem to fill because the others fit better, and the thought slowly pushes him into a frustrated despair.

    John spirals, becoming one with the sofa. He doesn't know that something else is wrong with him. Something darker and more sinister.

    --

    John wakes up in a cold sweat, drawing deep, labored breaths, feeling like his chest is about to cave in.

    His bloodshot eyes focus, and with it comes the chilling realization.

    A sinister shape, pitch black, is straddling him, a figure so utterly devoid of light that it's silhouetted by the already dark background that is his room.

    It only takes a second for him to catch on. He's seen this figure before, hovering above New York the day Bob transformed into Sentry.

    "You show such willfulness, John Walker, clinging to your own darkness for so long."
