    Summary

    The first time it happens, it's a complete accident. The times after that, well... not so much.

    When the line between chance and choice begins to blur, Gustave must decide if he trusts Verso enough to put his life — and his heart — in his hands.

    Again, and again, and again.

    Or: Five times Verso takes Gustave's hand to protect him, from the world as well as from himself — and one time Gustave returns the favor.

    Summary

    Six months after the Dessendres left the canvas, Verso is living a life he could never have even dreamed of: he's back in the city, he's fallen in love with a man who should be dead, and he's helping the canvas to build something new from the ashes of the Paintress. After a tense social engagement, he takes Gustave home, and they find a way to let off steam.

    Summary

    This all started as a silly back and forth text with my friend Jay-- which then turned into me writing about 800 words of plot.
    Now I'm posting harmless fluff to finish off the three flavors of Verstave, huzzah! (With a little teasing because come onnnn it's Gustave.)

    Summary

    Gustave bought the painting on a rainy Thursday because it was easier to stand among abandoned things than return to an apartment that never felt like his own. He didn't expect the grand piano on the canvas to play itself at midnight. He didn't expect the white roses to multiply.

    And he certainly didn't expect Verso—the man trapped inside the ballroom, preserved in oil and grief by a mother who couldn't let go.

    In a world that feels half-erased by the rain, two lonely souls find each other across the edge of a gilded frame. But to truly be together, Verso must confront the memory that painted him into a masterpiece and learn what it means to be a person again, rather than just a portrait.
