    Summary

    Six months after the Dessendres left the canvas, Verso is living a life he could never have even dreamed of: he's back in the city, he's fallen in love with a man who should be dead, and he's helping the canvas to build something new from the ashes of the Paintress. After a tense social engagement, he takes Gustave home, and they find a way to let off steam.

    Summary

    The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed // Arranged marriage to love // Slow burn

    "Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
    "Why sacrifice yourself for her?"
    The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words.
    "Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her."

    In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead — binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation.

    Gustave Virlogeux is practical, dependable, and entirely unremarkable — or so he has always believed. Verso Dessendre is composed, untouchable, and dangerously perceptive.
    Their engagement is duty. Their courtship is stolen glances, careful distance, and the maddening warmth of a hand that lingers a moment too long.

    But what begins as obligation unfolds into a slow reckoning with everything they cannot say — until what was never supposed to be real becomes the only thing that is.

    Summary

    Verso could use a fake boyfriend to get his mother off his back.
    Sciel introduces Gustave.
    They agree on a mutually beneficial arrangement.

    It's supposed to be simple—hold hands, attend events together, survive his family, and be convincing enough.

    They're pretending.
    They're somehow excellent at pretending—and also terrible at it.
    They promise to keep things simple.
    Then immediately do the emotional equivalent of lighting the rulebook on fire.

    Somewhere between "practice," an ungodly late night phone call, and the catastrophic one‑bed situation, the line between fake and real quietly packs its bags and leaves.
