Summary
Three years ago, during the perfect Summer at his family's summer home, Verso Dessendre fell in love.
Then, he was forcibly reminded that he had his responsibilities, his duties, and that his life was not a fairy tale where he could run away with the merman he'd fallen in love with.
However, left to rot by the sea, without his ability to paint, with vicious wounds from a fire his sister had not survived, Verso can't help but wish for just a little of that fairy tale magic for himself and the merman who had stolen his heart - Gustave.
(Title means "The Call of the Sea")

The Legend of Dickso by Aria_Lerendeair for Shin_PM

Summary
Verso hadn't expected to fall in love with speedrunning.
Hadn't expected to garner a following that got larger, and larger.
And, most importantly, he hadn't ever changed his fucking nickname on speedrunning.com, which meant that no matter what game he played, if it wanted to be attributed to him, there was only one name that he could use.
Dickso.

War changed people.
Verso's hands were made for music, not violence. Even so, he couldn't escape the bloodshed that enveloped the continent—crushing the melodies of his soul in its heartless embrace. Returning to Paris meant rediscovering what it meant to be Verso Dessendre.
He found Gustave instead.

Summary
Verso, a Parisian eccentric painter, arrives to Lumiere, a hidden Alpine village near Durance to heal his melancholia and acedia. He makes acquaintance with Reverend Father Noah, a respected and well-loved by local community priest with mysterious past, and two men form a genuine connection.
But the village is not what it seems, and neither are its residents. On the Night of Blooming Moon Verso gets a taste of something dark and ancient as he participates in an annual fertility ritual under watchful eye of Father Noah. Nothing is ever the same after this night, and Verso is possessed by desire to seduce the priest — or at the very least to know more about him.
First, he learns Father’s real name. It’s Gustave, and it tastes sweeter than wine on Verso’s lips.Tergiversi a praetus suis — those who fled from their pasts

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
With Maëlle slowly succumbing to illness, Gustave feels he has no other choice but to turn towards more creative, more occult, solutions. He finds a solution in an old tome and through it meets a mysterious being, Verso. This starts a budding friendship that could lead to more, and always punctuated by a swirl of fire in Verso's silver eyes circling around once, twice around his pupil. Always.

Freshly repainted, Gustave doesn't remember anything about his prior entanglement with Verso - but he finds himself drawn to Lumière's pianist all over again.
With Verso reluctant to tell him the truth, Gustave soon finds himself falling back into the same old patterns: a secret relationship, the hint of something forbidden, and the familiar pressure of a welcome hand around his throat.

Summary

Summary
After Verso loses his family to a house fire, he takes up a position as lightkeeper in an attempt to flee from both his grief and the prying eyes of Parisian high society.
Lumière is as sleepy as little towns come, and its folk are as kind and curious as one would expect. The lighthouse itself sits just out of town, on a little cliff jutting out from the coast of Bretagne. It’s an old place in a state of obvious disrepair, but thankfully the town’s engineer Gustave is as capable as he is handsome.
The perfect place for Verso, even though the sea starts whispering to him in his family’s voices at night. Grief can do that to a man, he thinks.
But when Gustave warns him not to listen to those that call for him in the darkness with a haunted look in his eyes, Verso realizes there is more at play in Lumière, and that his peaceful lightkeeper escape might turn out not to be so peaceful after all.

Summary
Verso Dessendre doesn't do romance.
He's fine by himself, really. He rarely needs anyone else other than his best friend, Sciel, to keep him company. Navigating the dating pool is a minefield on the best of days, especially for a man of his wealth and status, and wounds from the past keep his heart on a lock and key. He finds his pleasure by himself, and pours his frustrations with the world into the music he composes for a living. It's enough for him, most of the time. But somehow, some way, Sciel manages to convince him to start the search for a dominant, if only just to blow off some extra steam.
It doesn't go well.
Months later, Verso's just about to give up--before Sciel presses him to meet with one of her friends who's looking to get back into the scene. He relents, if only out of curiosity, and allows her to tell him more.
He's finds out quickly that he's not even remotely prepared for what comes with Gustave Auclair. Not one bit.

Summary
Four years after the end of his last long term relationship, university professor Gustave Auclair's life has turned into a monotonous cycle on repeat. His dating life is non existent, his sex life is six feet under, and his younger days as a dominant are long behind him--that is, until he finds himself in a dominant/submissive arrangement with Verso Dessendre, one of the most highly sought after men in all of Lumieré.
It works just fine for them. They're extremely compatible, the sex is great, and the paycheck Gustave gets is even better.
It works just fine for them--until Gustave just *had* to go and catch feelings for him.
Because of course he did.

Summary
'Who else on this Earth would ever be able to find it in themselves to love him; a beast?'
The year is 1904, in Lumiere - society is heavily based around art and artists, in an attempt to try and get the royal family back. Anyone who falls outside that category is simply an outcast. In a family of well-respected writers: Gustave Auclair, an engineer, and his little sister, Maelle, a swordswoman, fall into that category of misfits. Not that they mind, they have their supportive family, as well as each other. What more could they want?
Verso Dessendre, the cursed and lost prince of Lumiere, only has six months to rid his family of the curse that had been set upon them by a sorceress ten years ago. Otherwise, on his 33rd birthday, his whole cursed family will turn to stone. They all had their faults, there were many reasons they were cursed, but Verso in particular has the hardest task of all: to take back a lie he had said. To care and love someone, and have that care and love reciprocated. After an Earthquake and subsequent fracture, their castle broke apart from the main country, forming their own little continent. They hadn't seen a real person in a decade.
It was hopeless... right?

Summary
With a startled yelp, Gustave half-throws, half-drops his phone onto the floor. It clatters onto the rug, facing upward. The women both turn toward him, their expressions mirrored in confusion. Sciel is the first to avert her gaze, looking down at the phone…
Gustave smacks his socked foot on top of the phone screen, blocking Verso from view. He will not fumble this man’s dignity. What little he has left of it, anyway—what is Verso doing?
—
Or: It's been almost a year since Verso dropped off the face of the earth. Gustave has all but given up on trying to reach out to him, until Verso finally texts him for... advice. No problem, right?

Gustave had left Paris to serve with honor, but when he finally returned home, he was a shell of himself—broken in more ways than one. It seemed wholly unfair that Verso Dessendre had come out unscathed.

Summary
Modern AU - by Gustave’s definition, he is most certainly not a virgin, (frottage to the point of mutual completion back in his high school days) but that definition just isn’t doing it anymore at 32, so he goes to a bar for a hookup just to get rid of all of his fucking nerves about the whole thing, not even expecting it to be a good time.
Cue in Verso, who just goes home with Gustave expecting a quick one night stand - only to once he finds out about how Gustave’s never had real sex before, to show him just how good it can be, over multiple hookups, slowly but surely falling completely for him and stopping his fuck-boi tendencies

These Chains Around Your Neck by VerenaKauer

Summary
“I want to die.”
That gets his attention — Gustave’s eyes fly wide open, and he takes a step back. Like Verso is a lunatic who is better to be avoided. “I beg your pardon?”
“I want to die,” Verso repeats. “And I can’t do it on my own. You’re one of the smartest men in Lumière, you’re good with chroma. I need your help.”
Or: Verso is trying to find a way out. Gustave helps.
