    Summary

    After Verso loses his family to a house fire, he takes up a position as lightkeeper in an attempt to flee from both his grief and the prying eyes of Parisian high society.

    Lumière is as sleepy as little towns come, and its folk are as kind and curious as one would expect. The lighthouse itself sits just out of town, on a little cliff jutting out from the coast of Bretagne. It’s an old place in a state of obvious disrepair, but thankfully the town’s engineer Gustave is as capable as he is handsome.

    The perfect place for Verso, even though the sea starts whispering to him in his family’s voices at night. Grief can do that to a man, he thinks.

    But when Gustave warns him not to listen to those that call for him in the darkness with a haunted look in his eyes, Verso realizes there is more at play in Lumière, and that his peaceful lightkeeper escape might turn out not to be so peaceful after all.

    Summary

    thermal conductivity (n.) — the rate at which heat passes through a material; the tendency of two bodies in contact to trade warmth until they settle at the same temperature.

    Verso saved Gustave's life at the Stonewave Cliffs and still won't admit why (not even to himself). Now it's freezing, Gustave is too stubborn to say he's cold, and Verso has been quietly, hopelessly gone for him for longer than he'll ever confess.

    Or: there was only one blanket.

    Summary

    "I… I suppose I like the daffodils. They appear again after every winter again and again. They remind me of being able to start over…"

    //

    Gustave retreats into Lumiére daily. This city is full of cafés, gardens and inventions he can shape with his mind. Here, he can move freely, create… and spend time with Verso.
    Lumiére is more than just a city. It’s a world he chose, he also made it. Because inside Lumiére, he can live, act, and connect, but always at the edge of a system he can’t fully control.
    As Gustave navigates these two worlds, he begins to realize that the world he chose is both sanctuary and trap. Every promise, every connection with Verso carries a cost. How much of Lumiere is freedom and how much is a prison he made for himself?
