    Summary

    When you've been immortal for as long as Verso has, it's inevitiable that some of your deaths may have been more purposeful than others.

    Picking fights that are impossible for you to win, making plans that are a little too risky, not following medical advice when you really should be following it to the letter; Verso has done those sorts of things thousands of times. Maybe even more than that.

    Fuck, that's not even mentioning all of times that he—That's not the point, though.

    The point, Verso thinks, is that he wasn't planning for this.

    --
    Alternatively, five times Verso dies and handles the consequences on his own, and one time they were handled for him.

    Summary

    Fixing is the modus operandi by which Gustave operates, something comforting - find the problem, think on it, knock heads and ideas around, build the patch, apply the patch, test the patch. The steps fall one after the other with rhythm, cylinders firing inside a well-oiled machine. It's a dance he knows and loves.

    The steps are out of order for this song. His great stumble stares back at him, the stump of an arm wrapped in fresh bandaging.

    ~~~

    AKA Gustave overcomes the loss of his arm.

A city is restored, relationships rekindled, and new bonds forged. But all that glitters is not gold: there is still a great deal of work to be done to keep the new Lumière and its people running smoothly.

    A series of vignettes following Gustave and his loved ones as they discover that facing their new reality is a little less scary and a lot more manageable when they face it together.
