Summary
Simon waited.
Waited for them to apologize. Tell him there’s nothing they could do. That he wasn’t worth the trouble or resources, that he wasn’t worth the time.
But that never came.
Instead, after a second Grace came back on the line, his voice sounding determined now. “Alright,” he said. “Hang tight.”
Simon blinked slowly. “What?”

Summary
Gustave's expedition has turned out nothing like what he expected. He should be focused on the Paintress, but all he can really focus on is the mysterious stranger who saved him and Maelle at the Stone Wave Cliffs.
Did he have to be so damn hot?
Aka a Gustave falls in love in 5 moments fic (there are a lot more, but he was too busy staring at Verso to notice)

Summary
A protector. A strong, smart, loving brother. A dreamer. A joker. A sacrifice she had never asked for and a loss that had shattered her.
There! She’d found it. The chroma was right there, bright and bountiful and so much closer than she would have thought after all these months. Maelle grasped it and pulled, eyes screwed shut and sweat beading on her brow.
Behind her, Verso made a strangled sound. Monoco clattered to his feet, crying out, and Esquie took to the air calling, “Mon ami!”

Maelle brings Gustave back using Verso's chroma.

Summary
The Expedition is over, and while the city celebrates, Gustave can’t shake the chilling feeling that he didn’t come back whole.
Plagued by inexplicable gaps in his memory, a crushing, bone-deep exhaustion, and nightmares that leave him utterly lost, Gustave finds the familiar routines of Lumière unbearable.
He begins to drift away from his old life, seeking solace in the one place where pretense isn't required: the quiet company of a man he is slowly getting to know better.

Just a heads up: this story is heavy on the angst at first, but I promise the slow burn kicks in later. Also, please bear with me through the first chapter, I swear the writing gets better 🫣

Summary
They both crave contact, one a sinner at the fount of the divine and the other a coward faced with a fighter.
Grace is beautiful, forged from starlight and soft cloth and every good thing. He loves to explore and learn and his hands are so gentle that when he works on Simon, it doesn’t even feel like dissection. It’s the feather-light brush of divinity on his skin.
God took Adam’s rib, touched mankind once and never again. How lucky is Simon, a sinner, Son of Eden and cast in Cain’s image, to touch the divine every day?Bookmarked by Im_not_really_here
