    Summary

    Verso Dessendre had one person in his life. His inspiration, his sole purpose for living in this facade of a family; his six year old little sister, Alicia. When a fire took over their home, caused by the Writers, and Alicia was nowhere to be found, everyone assumed she had perished. They had nothing to prove it. But she couldn't have. She was too smart for that, too pure for that. She couldn't have.
    And he would spend the rest of his days searching for her.
    Gustave Auclair wanted kids oh so desperately, but with his girlfriend Sophie not wanting any, despite his best attempts at convincing her, he respectfully took it as a sign that children were not in the cards for him. That is, until, he finds a small little girl unconcious in the snow, her head resting against the train tracks he had helped to build all those months ago. With no memories of her past life, and no family come to claim her, he takes her under his gaurdianship, despite the distress of his partner.
    Maelle was family, and he would never go back on family.
    Ten years pass, and soon the past, present and future will all collide in a case of lost memories, found family, and even perhaps, a love that transcends all tragedy.

    Summary

    In Lumière, soul bonds are not gifts - they are obligations.

    Verso Dessendre has spent years perfecting the art of staying untouched. Once a prodigy, now a soldier, he's learned that wanting anything is dangerous. His hands are scarred. His reputation is carefully constructed. And he has no intention of letting anyone close enough to see what lies beneath.

    Gustave Virlogeux is the Academy's most reliable engineer - the one who fixes what the system breaks, who never asks for anything for himself. His prosthetic arm glows with borrowed Chroma. He's useful. Essential. Alone.

    When destiny pairs them together, neither is prepared for what their connection will cost—or what it might save. As Lumière's bond ceremony approaches, they—along with Verso's sister Alicia and Gustave's ward Maelle - will discover that the system they trusted might be more fragile than anyone realized.

    A story about two people learning that sometimes the most broken things fit together in ways nothing whole ever could.

    Summary

    Maelle looks at the mirror shards scattered across the floor, a disarray of sharp and jagged pieces that can never be put back together again. "I know you’re not him..." she admits in a shaky whisper. Her tear-filled eyes find Verso, the blues and greys of paint starting to unravel the edges of them, mocking him. "But you deserve to be happy,” she says. We deserve to be happy, she means.

    “I deserve to be myself,” Verso says, and it sounds like a plea more than anything else. The skin around his left eye aches, as if it’s waiting for his scar’s return.

    Maelle sighs before she sweeps her hand through the air, calling for her rapier. It appears in a flutter of gold petals, glimmering in the dim light of the bathroom. Her eyes are cast in shadow and her disappointed smile is somewhat crooked. "Alright. Let's try again."

    or: Maelle wants a happy end for everyone she cares about, and she will keep trying until even Verso gets it right.
