    Summary

    The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed // Arranged marriage to love // Slow burn

    "Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
    "Why sacrifice yourself for her?"
    The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words.
    "Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her."

    In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead — binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation.

    Gustave Virlogeux is practical, dependable, and entirely unremarkable — or so he has always believed. Verso Dessendre is composed, untouchable, and dangerously perceptive.
    Their engagement is duty. Their courtship is stolen glances, careful distance, and the maddening warmth of a hand that lingers a moment too long.

    But what begins as obligation unfolds into a slow reckoning with everything they cannot say — until what was never supposed to be real becomes the only thing that is.

    Summary

    “I could satisfy you.”

    What the fuck. “W-what?” She almost drops the cat, yellow eyes widening and staring up at the girl affronted. Her eyes match the cat’s as she stares incredulously at Unsuur. “I’m sorry? I feel like we're on different stones across a creek. What did you say?”

    He meets her gaze, nothing on his face betraying him.

    “I could satisfy you. Better than your ex ever could.”

    ——
    Unsuur has always been an odd duck, but his drunken self is uninhibited and bold. His crush on the other builder, Scout, has been brewing since poor Nemo was almost turned into a tiny fur rug and news of her ex being inadequate in more ways than one opens a door for him to at least give something to the girl that runs herself ragged without expecting anything in return.

    He just wants to help her out, how could that go wrong?
