Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

Or: Maelle returns Lumière to its former glory, but... things just seem a bit off. Gustave investigates. -

Actual disco content to be determined. -
Clair Obscur: Broken Canvas. by RemyHadley

Summary
After the destruction of the Canvas, Alicia Dessendre retreats behind silence, scars, and the weight of memory. Her right eye is gone, her voice nearly lost, her world reduced to measured days inside the Dessendre Manor. Outside, Paris moves on, while Alicia struggles to find a reason to keep painting or even to keep living. Then a Writer appears, the last person her family should ever allow near. What begins as wary distance becomes a fragile thread, tested by the thin line between creation and ruin. This is a story of grief and memory, of two souls drawn together by Chroma itself. A slow, inexorable bond strong enough to defy the past, to challenge what was lost, and to reshape the world.
A continuation of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, set after the game’s ending and expanding the world beyond the Canvas.

Summary
Captains did not get to be sick, they did not get to sob, and they did not get to admit to their sinking fear that every single person they lead on this Expedition would be dead long before the Gommage had its chance with them.
~~~
Ines Chevalier captains Expedition 33: she is bright, hopeful, and duty-bound to destroy the Paintress. Verso Dessendre is the broken shadow of a man, painted from a family’s grief. He doesn’t die, doesn’t age, and doesn’t quite tell the truth. Despite being on opposing sides of an endless war, their relationship blooms into something that could alter the Canvas irreversibly.

Your Body, My Canvas by didhero, theartsypumpkin (Kuroaloeart)

Summary
Gustave, since he lost half his arm, his body had felt foreign to him, like he was off balance all the time (even literally sometimes). He had read stories of people using tattoos as a way to reclaim their autonomy, to reclaim themselves.
That was what he was hoping this would do for him.
And Verso, his Tattoo Artist, accidentally puts a little of his painter magic into Gustave's tattoo.

Summary
Verso lived through the fire, as did Alicia, but he didn't wake up. He remained unconscious, and when his family realised that he and Alicia had been found in the atelier during the fire, they realised that Verso has gone into the canvas.
Aline went in after him, believing she could wake him up. She finds Verso, who doesn't remember anything. In his pain addled mind he ended up creating Lumiere, and a painted version of his family, and they were living together happily. Aline helps him remember, but all he could feel was the fire and the burning agony of his body, and so she paints over him and erases his memories again to keep him safe. Renoir then goes in to wake up his son himself, and drag his wife out the canvas, resulting in the Fracture. Expedition Zero goes out to search for their loved ones and rescue them, and inevitably find out what happened from Cleo. Now Verso has to stop his family from tearing apart his canvas, and try keep his mother from constantly erasing his memories to keep him compliant. It goes about as well as you might expect.
(Basically, Verso lived, but is trapped in the canvas by his mother, and now has to deal with the horror of having his family raging war inside his canvas)

Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together. -

Summary
Through cutting off distractions and engraving skin with chroma, she bled more than she cried for herself. She stayed focused on the mission while everyone else got to live their own lives. She continued when everyone else had fallen. She did it not because she wanted to but because no one else would. She picked up a weapon when she could have picked the guitar.
She learned to be strong because there was no other option. She learned to be useful before she learned to choose for herself.
And this is where that got her. The culmination of all of her efforts. “We succeeded where every other expedition has failed. I could never be prouder of us than I am now.”
“And it is something to be proud of,” Sciel agrees.
No one asked what it cost her, least of all, Lune herself.
She smiles, but it doesn’t quite reach her eyes. “But what about after?”
---
In which by the end of Act II, they defeat the Paintress and it's a happy ending. But how does one become happy after everything one has been through and sacrificed? Lune finds the answer in Sciel and a bottle of wine.

Summary
She stays tucked into their embrace until the inevitable. Her breath comes in short, frantic bursts as an invisible clock counts down the seconds. We love you, we love you, we love you. Her parents tremble and cling to her tightly, panic rising in these last few moments. There is a painful snap deep within her chest as the first bits of chroma begin to drift away. Time slows down to a crawl, each second stretches into infinity as she watches the scene before her. Chroma by chroma, petal by petal, home disappears into thin air.

Le Clair-Obscur de Nos Âmes by Kai (Roxel)

Summary
The Dessendre name is synonymous with color and light, but for Verso, life is lived in monochrome. Haunted by a fire that scarred his family, he has locked himself away, his music a fortress of sound where no one can reach the man behind the melody.
Enter Gustave, an engineer who sees the world in the light of physics and function, his own heart shadowed by a recent, painful breakup. Their meeting is a collision of two opposing forces: the artist who feels everything and the builder who fixes everything.
In the artistic fervor of Montmartre, their burgeoning connection becomes a work of chiaroscuro, demonstrating that true beauty is found not in perfect light or absolute darkness, but in the delicate balance of both.
