Summary
There is a man on the street, staring up at Gustave’s apartment.
He’s dressed well — a sharp suit cracked with gold, wavy dark hair combed back and shot through with white. His cold blue eyes are rimmed red as if he’s been crying for a while. He feels… important somehow, like a missing piece to a puzzle Gustave has yet to uncover.
Or: Gustave navigates resurrection in the wake of Maelle taking over the canvas, and meets a not-so-stranger he cannot place in his memory.

Summary
Seeing him is like living again in ignorance. A time before his world became Fractured – both metaphoric and literal. Seeing him is remembering there was once a time when he thought he could be happy, where he could be happier than anyone else. Seeing him is like the clouds of his life blowing away – like everything he learned 60 years ago was a lie and he can go back to those days where nothing mattered except the sound of keys composing a new melody combined with the sounds of pencil scratching across a journal.
Seeing him is impossible, Verso thinks, because his Gustave died 60 years ago – left to a heartbreaking fate because Verso could not tell him the tragic truth of their world.
Or: Before the Fracture, Verso Dessendre and Gustave were inevitable. When their world split apart, Verso believed Gustave to have died in the aftermath. Why, then, is Gustave alive in Lumière far after his date of Gommage?

Summary
Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.
A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.
Updates on Tuesdays.

Summary
Monoco’s station was just as it had always been, Gommage or no. The painted curves of it flowed and trailed, one long brush stroke after another. The snow stayed, and so did the grandis, the gentle petals of iron, the curve of playful trains.
Only Monoco had left. Only they had changed. And then they’d returned, and for what? To scavenge the chroma of corpses long gone to rest? To scrape the paint from a hundred abandoned creations?
Verso was tired.
“Yes,” he said, “I could have saved him.”
Or: Maelle brings Gustave back, and accidentally ties his soul to Verso. This changes things.
