Summary
War changed people.
Gustave had left Paris to serve with honor, but when he finally returned home, he was a shell of himself—broken in more ways than one. It seemed wholly unfair that Verso Dessendre had come out unscathed.

Summary
The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed.
When he returned to Verso, he did not hesitate.
"She could not go through with it," he said in a rush, keeping his voice low enough that only Verso could hear. "The engagement. I offered to take her place. I know this is irregular, I know you have every right to refuse, but I am asking you—"
Verso's hand tightened on his waist, and Gustave's words died in his throat.
"Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
"Why you?" he clarified, his voice quiet but intent. "Why sacrifice yourself for her?"
The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words.
"Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her."In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead—binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation. What begins as duty unfolds into a slow reckoning with choice, restraint, and the dangerous intimacy of wanting what you were never supposed to have.

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
