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.Series

Masquerade (Compatible Fractures) by MsCoffeebear

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.

Summary
"I'm leaving Paris," Verso says brusquely, by way of a greeting. He has never been very good with words; that has always been Papa's strength, not his.Gustave inhales sharply, watching him in silence, his hands clutching his notebook so hard the spine begins to twist.
"You want me to come with you," he says finally, looking at Verso as though he has entirely lost his mind.
Or:
Time is running out. With war looming over Belle Epoque Paris, Verso must make a choice between his duty to his family and the young Writer who has unknowingly stolen his heart.
He chooses Gustave.

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
Verso didn't expect to meet his soulmate in a bakery. He also didn't expect said soulmate to be the only man in the capital unable to recognize the crown prince by name.
He isn't complaining, this is the first time in years he's been able to exist as himself and not as an extension of his family.
Surely, it won't hurt to keep up the pretense for a little while?

Summary
He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.
A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.
At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…
It’s not Maelle.
No, it’s Gustave.
Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

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.

[COMIC] Do you want to spend time with Gustave? by queenstardust

Summary
Hello, this is my first time posting here! : D
I want to share my little Verstave Comic, I drew for the last convention I attended : ) Since I drew it the weekend before the convention, it's self printed and folded out of one DinA4 page, to a pocket size smut zine. It's 6 tiny comic pages+title, so it really is just porn without plot, but a lot of feelings.
I hope you enjoy it ♡Bookmarked by eletricksity

Summary
“Of course, you are more than welcome here, for as long as you’d like.” is Emma’s instant and smooth reply, delivered with an effortless aplomb that is well-suited to her Chief Councilor role; there’s no hiding the sharpness of her eyes, however, that intelligent glint that speaks of veiled suspicion and careful calculations. “Any friend of Maelle is a friend of ours.”
As expected, Maelle is more than ecstatic by Emma’s easy acceptance, but her mood quickly plummets when she spots Gustave’s less-than-thrilled expression: if looks could kill, Verso is pretty sure he would be lying in a pool of his own blood by now, but after some uncomfortable staring the man just scoffs and looks quickly on the side, cheeks flushed by what Verso can only presume is a good dose of barely repressed anger. “...Sure, whatever. If that’s what Maelle wants.”
(After making a promise to each other at the Canvas' edge, Maelle restores Lumiére to its former splendor, and Verso tries to live his life in it as simply and unobtrusively as possible.
Too bad that Gustave absolutely hates Verso's guts, and Verso's blossoming feelings for Gustave are of a complete opposite nature.)

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.

Summary
Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.
It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.
