  1. Summary

    Eve is more than just Flynn's guardian. She was a solider for years, she was a military brat... My first though was 'what if Eve was like John Watson? An army doctor who, for whatever reason, was discharged from the army and went to NATO, and then all of the Library stuff happened?' So this is the result. Enjoy!

    Summary

    Verso knows his soul is not original to him. A stitched-up, fractured, and glued-together thing, stained with memories not his own and heavy with the grief of unimaginable loss. His very existence is a farce, a tragedy played out in canvas and ink. He wants nothing so much as to end it. To give the ragged remains of a soul back to the one who created him, let her find someone else to carry the burden and the memory of the man to whom it once belonged. And yet. And yet, still, buried deep inside him is the desire to make this second-hand soul his own. To take the old discarded thing and make it into something new. To live, as they all deserve to live. All he needs is someone to show him the way.

    Summary

    After Maelle's victory, Gustave is struggling to adjust. If it weren't so damn pathetic, it might even be funny: the broken engineer, unable to fix himself. But with Lumière in ruins, there is no time for self-pity. His people need him, and he won't let them down.

    Never again.

    Now if only Verso bloody Dessendre would stop accidentally falling asleep on his furniture…

    Or: Verso can't sleep unless Gustave is near. Somehow, it becomes Gustave's problem to solve — and the key to both their salvation. (Complete, updates twice a week)

    Summary

    Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.

    It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.

    Summary

    In order to bring Gustave back as himself, whole, Maelle had to infuse him with Pure Chroma, something wielded only by Painters.

    This Pure Chroma responds to intent, just like it does for Painters.

    As life begins again - Gustave does not hesitate to support all of his friends and family - but now that support comes with a cost that he might no longer afford to be able to pay.

    (Alternative Title: 5 Times Gustave Used His Pure Chroma to Help Others, and the One Time Someone Used It to Help Him)
