    Summary

    Verso died in the fire, but before his soul perished with his body it was pulled into his one-and-only Canvas. Now Verso can do nothing but wander the Painted world from his childhood as a ghost, alone for all eternity. Does he have to be alone though? Or can he get his lover to join him in Forever?

    Summary

    Death was supposed to be the end.

    Instead, Verso wakes beneath the ruins of a dying world with no memory of who he was, no real understanding of what he's become, and a small, insistent machine at his side saying they were always meant to find each other—and that the powers he's been given are a gift.

    He's not always certain he agrees.

    Still, he tries to live. Alongside a family he no longer remembers but somehow can’t stop loving. Alongside, a stubborn, but brilliant engineer who throws himself toward danger despite being painfully mortal—and who looks at Verso like he's a person and not a walking corpse.

    Worst of all in his new life, Verso finds himself wanting things.
    A life that doesn’t feel borrowed, and a future that includes someone who was never meant to outlast him.

    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. Check out the music playlist!
