Summary
Alexandria is the safest place they’ve been since the prison fell, and while that’s all well and good, the lack of constant danger leaves a gaping hole in their lives which can be filled only by the emotional turmoil of their not-always-so-distant pasts. Add a sick Daryl to the mix, and it’s really no wonder Rick starts thinking that safe isn’t necessarily all it’s cracked up to be.

Summary
Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

Summary
"This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”
It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.
Something softens in Verso’s expression.
Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.
They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

Summary
The chroma does this sometimes; wrenches his mind to wakefulness while still working on his other remains. It creeps through his cells like an infection, merging and splitting and weaving him as it likes. It blooms through his gut in an array of color, flakes off his skin like stardust.
———-
Verso dies, as he often does, but this time he returns to unexpected company.

Summary
The first time it happens, it's a complete accident. The times after that, well... not so much.
When the line between chance and choice begins to blur, Gustave must decide if he trusts Verso enough to put his life — and his heart — in his hands.
Again, and again, and again.
Or: Five times Verso takes Gustave's hand to protect him, from the world as well as from himself — and one time Gustave returns the favor.

Summary
Verso watches them while they crowd around him and pelt him with questions, and he knows he was right. Lune seems ready to set up a field laboratory to start experimenting on him, Sciel’s smile betrays all the indecent thoughts floating through her head, Maelle looks like a kid in a circus, and Gustave…
Gustave hugs himself with his only arm and backs away slightly, eyes wide open — horrified or disgusted, Verso is not sure in the dark.
Not having fun, that’s for certain.
Or: Verso tries to entertain the group with his "magic". It doesn't go that well with Gustave.

Summary
All Verso could really focus on was the softness of his giant friend’s hands, the way they easily cradled his small human body against his plush body. Keeping him from falling too far into an abyss he most assuredly wouldn't be able to welcome even if he tried — and he has tried so, so many times. Handling him like one of his precious rocks, if he would be so bold to say.

Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together.- Language:

Summary
Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.
It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.

Summary
Verso hates people pretending to care. Julie pretended to care, and look how that turned out. Verso knows full well that humans can’t really care about an immortal who can just walk off being cut in half. Verso knows full well that he is too different from them to actually evoke empathy. Verso-
Verso desperately, painfully, hopelessly wants it.
Or: a Gustave Lives AU where Gustave is being nice and Verso is having a mental breakdown about it. Act II and the beginning of Act III.
