    Summary

    The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed // Arranged marriage to love // Slow burn

    "Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
    "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.

    Gustave Virlogeux is practical, dependable, and entirely unremarkable — or so he has always believed. Verso Dessendre is composed, untouchable, and dangerously perceptive.
    Their engagement is duty. Their courtship is stolen glances, careful distance, and the maddening warmth of a hand that lingers a moment too long.

    But what begins as obligation unfolds into a slow reckoning with everything they cannot say — until what was never supposed to be real becomes the only thing that is.

    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.

    The first time it happens, Gustave can claim it was an accident. The second? The third? There's a pattern.

    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 ♡

    Summary

    Before Maelle leaves the canvas for good, she fulfills Verso's wish to be mortal but also makes him promise to look after Gustave. Even though he's reclutant at first, Verso quickly discovers that maybe it won't be that difficult to keep that promise. Gustave's company is not so bad and maybe he does have it in him to try to enjoy life again.

    A Verstave comic.
