Summary
Verso is rinsing out his spare shirt in the river when he hears crunching footfalls on moss. He continues his idle work, which really was little more than an excuse to let the rattled Expeditioners stew over their situation in peace. The steps pause somewhere behind him.
“Sneaking off already?”
A man’s voice—it has to be Gustave, Maelle’s guardian. Strange to think it’s the first time he hears it.

Summary
Belle Époque Paris, 1913. Verso Dessendre is very good at being wanted. It is, in fact, the only thing the world has ever been willing to pay a ruined aristocrat for, and he has made his peace with that.
Then Gustave Virlogeux — celebrated conductor of the Opéra, one hand of flesh and one of steel, immovable as a closed door — catches him breaking into the rehearsal hall to play a piano in the dark. Instead of calling the gendarmes, he offers Verso a real chance and an honest wage, and commits the truly unforgivable sin of refusing to be charmed.
This is a story about a maestro who won't play along, a brat who won't behave, and a grand piano that did not consent to any of this. It is also, underneath all that, a story about being wanted for the whole of yourself — scars, ruin, and all — by someone who refuses to let you sell the one true thing you've got.
Or: a maestro who conducts in bed exactly as he does on the podium, a pianist whose every seduction technique fails spectacularly and repeatedly (until it doesn't), and one grand piano that did not survive the experience.

Summary
Lune and Verso find a comfortable place to compose and discuss the creative process. Collaboration, after all, is give and take.

Summary
"Across the fire, she watched him." On a journey to take down the Paintress, against a backdrop of shattering loss and revelations, Lune found her attention straying to the enigmatic newcomer, Verso. He was a mystery, full of charm and evasive words: an interesting contradiction. She didn't account for his own curiosity and a sparked affection - or for the devastation that could follow. A what-if addressing how the romance aspect in Expedition 33 might have had a more defining effect on the story. Lune/Verso.

Summary
"Hermione still isn’t quite sure how it happened. Or why she can’t bring herself to stop. She suspects they’re breaking at least a hundred St. Mungo’s rules, not to mention healer-patient ethical protocol. But there is something about Draco Malfoy that gets under her skin, steals her logic and reduces her to pure instinct. And her instincts are screaming that he should be inside her, preferably with his hands around her throat.”
Draco Malfoy makes Hermione's job in the Emergency Ward very difficult. Especially since she started shagging him. In the hospital. Often. (Healer!Hermione/Vigilante!Draco AU).
