Summary
The Paintress is gone; the Curator left. In the aftermath of Lumiere’s battle, Maelle and Verso find a middle ground and promise to give each other closure without harming any more innocents : he will try living a mortal life and she will leave the Canvas.
Maelle helps her late brother’s soul to fix the Fracture's damages and brings people back, giving this world a second chance. She spends her last painted days making the most of Verso’s presence and Gustave’s return, trying to bring them closer with few success. After her departure, both men struggle to settle back in the city and when Verso blurts out the idea of Gustave accompanying him to the Continent, the engineer doesn't take long to accept: after all, he missed a lot of things there, definitely needs a guide... and time away from Lumière.

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.
