Where Words Fail, Music Speaks by Sky_kiss for LilliaLuna
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)
28 Dec 2025

Summary
“Very well, then—we’ll ask an impartial party. Alicia, where do you stand on the matter? Would our dear parents be averse to my—say—slipping out the side door?”
Alica snickers, plucking the pen and paper from her breast pocket. Verso, that’s like asking if they’d notice the sky falling.
“Mm, I’d like my odds if the sky were falling.”
Or: Painted Alicia recalls a time before the Fracture, when life was simple and they were happy.

Summary
“This was what I was hoping for,” Verso breathed. She had half a mind to tease him again—hoping for warmth and sun in France, in January—but refrained. Her boy looked infinitely brighter. “Clea hasn’t added anything to the water, has she?”
Aline uttered a surprised laugh. “No. And I’ve restricted your father to the deepest reaches of the ocean.”
“Good. Then it’s still safe to swim.”
(Aline is commissioned to paint a seascape. The Dessendre family uses it as an excuse to take an impromptu vacation.)

Summary
“I like it here,” Alicia whispers, breath tickling against her skin. “It’s not so….” Her brow furrows as she searches for the word. “Dead. It’s good.”
Neither Clea nor Verso had ever shown much interest in her glasshouse. Alicia frequents the space religiously, listening as she speaks of the different plants, settling on her lap when Aline paints. She is at peace amongst the green.
Why should she punish Alicia for showing an interest?
Or: brief moments between Alicia and Aline across the years, before and after the fire.

Summary
For all that Clea hated other people’s depictions of her, especially her parents’, there is one portrait of her that still exists as it was originally painted, unsullied and untouched by her hand. It’s an old one, an imperfect portrait painted by an unpracticed hand, with none of Aline’s verisimilitude and carries none of Renoir’s gravitas.
What it has, instead, is all of Verso’s love.

but the history's thick by LuckyDiceKirby

Summary
Theirs was a family of strong wills. It was frustrating, at times—Clea did recognize the irony. The draw of sculpture was in the satisfaction of molding clay in just exactly the way she knew it should be molded. Even painting couldn’t give her that same control. But outside of the workshop, no one listened to her, Alicia least of all. They listened to Verso, of course; he’d spent his painting lessons daydreaming and come out the other side with a honeyed tongue. Clea could mold clay, bend metal, paint any image she wished exactly as she wished it. But by the time she was old enough to realize talent and dedication weren’t enough to bend the world to her will as well, it was too late.

Three conversations Clea and Verso have about their sister.

“Well,” Maelle asks brightly, “what did you think?”
The pianist seemed familiar, somehow, though he is quite certain they’d never actually met before.
“His music was very beautiful,” is what Gustave eventually settles on, “but he seemed - a little sad. Didn’t he?”

Summary
She tossed another petal. He could almost hear the familiar chant in his head, sung in their youngest’s lilting voice. He loves me. He loves me not.
Clea had always considered herself too mature for such romanticisms, but Alicia had been particularly fond of the game. He tipped his head towards the mangled rose in her lap. “Alicia always used daisies.”
“Our daughter is correct—it should be daisies.” Aline plucked and tossed another piece of the rose. She sighed, staring out over the water. “I suppose I needed more petals.”

The Great Kitchen Disaster of 1896 by glittergoblins

Summary
The Dessendre Manor was quiet. Too quiet. Maman and Papa had taken Clea to one of their boring council meetings, leaving Verso alone and in charge of his baby sister. He was nearly a grown man himself now, he could surely handle taking care of his seven-year-old sister. Surely.
Verso is left in charge as Alicia's babysitter. But when the cook and the parents are out for the day, he gets the idea to make their own lunch for once.

He knew the sore pang in his chest was premature; they were both busy men with schedules that left little time for frivolity. But it seemed like the whole of Tevinter was out attending the Divine’s birthday festival except for the one person Ashur wanted to celebrate with.

Grounding by LettersandCoffee for vandal_aria

Summary
Lucanis realizes what he's been missing, and tries anything other than asking for help.
And if he took a step too far, well, would that be the worst fate? To be free of the contract, free of the war for all Thedas. Free from the weight of living, the uphill climb of healing. To be sent home in a box instead of clawing his way out of the grave each morning, fingers bloodied, mouth too full to speak, to ask for help.
Gryphons have a lot experience with PTSD, which makes sense, when you think about the average lifespan of a Grey Warden. Assan helps.
