Summary
Slowburn Verso/Gustave set in a Bridgerton-inspired regency era Lumiere, as Benedict Bridgerton/Sophie Baek.
The Dessendres are hosting the first Masquerade ball of the season, and eligible bachelor Verso despises everything and everyone involved with the blasted thing.
Gustave just wants to anonymously enjoy his first and only ball - is that too much to ask? -

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of three Salutors must be in want of a fourth.
However, such a thing will surely have drastic consequences for Wiktor Szulski's health and general wellbeing. -

Summary
Basically a very descriptive stream-of-concious version of the events at the end of Roti, focused on what Will is seeing/the method behind his madness.
(Mainly written because I was so traumatised after the ep, I had to write my own version of it to calm myself down.)

Summary
Gustave dies.
It is a sordid affair, full of sacrifice and pain. There is nothing beautiful about death, Gustave thinks in the fleeting instant before his nerve endings explode all at once in his chest like fireworks. He doesn’t think anymore after that. Screams echo on the granite of the cliff, drowning the furious crashing of the waves below. He doesn’t hear them. He is dead.
(This is not how it ends.)
After his death, Gustave becomes unstuck in time.

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.
