Summary
“Hey,” Verso tilts his head chidingly. “I may not be the creator of this world, but I’m more or less sure that you’re not supposed to be sad here. We even found a list of rules, look,” he waves a crumpled piece of paper. Reads, “‘Feeling whooo allowed only in designated areas. Inside the house whooo is prohibited’! See?”
“I’m not inside the house,” Gustave objects, just to be an ass — he can feel a smile forming on his lips. “And I’m not ‘whooo’. More like, ‘hmmm’.”
“‘Hmmm’. Is that the official term?”
“Yup,” Gustave lowers his head, examining the wrist connections of the prosthesis.
Or: Gustave finds out that “Barbapapa” is not really compatible with intricate mechanisms. Luckily, Verso is there to help.

Five Times Monoco Tried To Set Gustave and Verso Up by regina_stellaris for Renlukun

Summary
…and one time he didn’t have to.
Therefore, when Verso starts being weird, Monoco immediately notices it.
Verso suddenly stumbles over his words. He trips when there’s no obstacle in his way. He fails parries that he could’ve done in his sleep previously. He spills food all over himself constantly. And his gaze lingers, particularly on one person. Day-in, day-out.
Gustave.

Summary
What if, in a pivotal moment, Verso had made a different decision? What if Renoir had not bothered to ensure Gustave was actually dead and had just left after making his point to Maelle? What if Expedition 33 had left the Stone Wave Cliffs before a certain handsome, brooding stranger could reveal himself?
Verso, after dragging a half-dead Gustave away from the cliff that would have been his eternal resting place in another life, now has to deal with the consequences of his actions.
Gustave, heavily injured and stranded in Nevron-infested lands without the support of his friends, needs to learn how to trust and rely on a stranger who looks suspiciously similar to the man who attempted to kill him.Bookmarked by Gothicsludge
