    Summary

    In a Paris divided between Painters and Writers, Verso Dessendre only wants to paint in peace, far from the political fire and the echo of his mother, the legendary Aline, leader of the Painters’ Council. But the past and art are not things one can leave behind so easily.

    Between his two sisters—Alicia, his light… Clea, his fight—and a city silently cracking, Verso meets Lune, an enigmatic young woman who seems pulled from one of his dreams… Or perhaps from the banned books, since she is a Writer.

    An impossible love, a written destiny… A stroke that perhaps should never have existed.

    Summary

    This is the continuation of my work 'A life to paint and write'🩷.

    Verso doesn't remember the exact moment when ink ceased to be his ally and became his prison.
    Able to paint with blood and create with a conscious soul, he was torn from the collapse of his world—engulfed in flames—by the Writers… By an ancient order that controls narrative, boundaries… and the so-called truth.

    He awakens confined in a cell of living ink, sealed with a mark impossible to break. But the cruelest part isn’t the imprisonment—It’s discovering that the one guarding him is Julie, his former lover and a Writer, the very one he left behind long ago, shattering her heart…

    Julie wrestles between loyalty to her kind and the still-living cracks of what she once felt for him.
    While the Writers plan to use Verso’s gift as a tool of absolute creation, he begins to realize that his painting, his bond with Lune, and his story are not yet fully written—nor finished.

    Summary

    A finger under his chin, holding his gaze as she whispered softly against his skin. “As I said, I want to make this memorable.”

    “You’ve already—,” He started to say, but she shook her head.

    “Verso.” She said quietly, somehow his name had become like a command, freezing him in place. “This is for you.”

    “For me?” He whispered…and the way he looked at her now… disbelievingly, in awe, almost broke her heart.

    “Yes.” She said, with the solemnity of an oath. “Just you.”

    Summary

    Verso won – but victory left him hollow. When the soul of Verso takes his hand, glimpses of Verso’s journey with Expedition 33 prompts him to offer Verso a chance to Paint; to mend the world and the wounds of the past; to give him and his friends an opportunity for a better life. All it took was a second glance back at the woman he had unintentionally fallen for. How could he rest knowing that look of silent disbelief and anger was because of him? With memories intact and fractured hearts, Verso and Lune relive their journey to mend their world, to heal the Dessendre family, and to confront the feelings between them buried beneath the trauma.

    Or

    A New Game Plus fanfic retelling of Expedition 33, where Lune and Verso are sent back to before the 33 Gommage.
