    It was always burning since the world's been turning-

    Firefighter saves man. Man becomes EMT. Man becomes hot. Firefighter becomes an idiot.

    Summary

    "He allows himself to drink in the rare sight of a relaxed Verso, expression slackened, the tension he is always carrying in his shoulders dissipated. His lips are slightly parted, a strand of hair that has fallen into his face being ruffled with each quiet exhale. Gustave wants to kiss him so badly. Wants to dig his hand into that gorgeous hair, yank him to standing with a tug and pin him against the wall, a leg between his thighs and his mouth against his ear as he takes him apart over and over again."

    Verso is determined to run himself into the ground for the sake of absolution. Gustave refuses to let him and uses whatever means necessary to remind him he doesn't have to.

    Summary

    After ramming the sub straight into the Light, Simon wakes up on a strange spaceship with no memory of how he got there. The state of the Hail Mary -spacious, clean, bright and comfortable- can only lead to one conclusion: Simon has somehow been picked up by one of the highest-ranking leaders of the C.O.I.

    Luckily, Dr. Grace doesn't seem to recognize him, buying Simon enough time to hatch yet another desperate plan for survival before his identity is discovered. In the meantime, Simon tries his best to stay in the man's good graces (no pun intended), but he's hardly known for his charming personality.

    Both of them are in for a bumpy ride.

    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    Summary

    Verso is keeping a journal with his observations about working in close proximity to Gustave.

    There's one thing he keeps coming back to - over and over again.

    Gustave's hair.

    Summary

    It doesn't matter. No matter the story, Verso has a chance to die still being of use.

    He'll provoke him into a fight. Try and kill him, as hopeless as the notion may be. If he wins, a 'monster' is no longer haunting this place. If he loses, then the vampire will feed on him. Then he'll be nothing.

    He wants to lose. Being a free meal is better than living.

    OR

    Verso, the last Dessendre, goes to find the resident vampire in Lumiere's woods with some elaborate suicide mission. He doesn't expect the vampire to take him to his home instead. He doesn't expect to fall in love either.

    Summary

    thermal conductivity (n.) — the rate at which heat passes through a material; the tendency of two bodies in contact to trade warmth until they settle at the same temperature.

    Verso saved Gustave's life at the Stonewave Cliffs and still won't admit why (not even to himself). Now it's freezing, Gustave is too stubborn to say he's cold, and Verso has been quietly, hopelessly gone for him for longer than he'll ever confess.

    Or: there was only one blanket.

    Summary

    ”En gardé, monsieur!”

    Verso has a second to register it before he realizes he’s being cornered by three, very serious children. Gustave’s apprentices, to be more precise. Not the threat he first would’ve thought of, but there you go.

    ”What are your intentions towards Gustave?”

    In which the apprentices have had enough of Verso & Gustave’s pining and confront Verso. They might also recruit some help while they're at it, and Verso suffers.

    Summary

    In a newly restored Lumiere, Verso settles into his new life with Gustave and begins to live again after a century of hardship and sorrow. The path, however is not an easy one, as people come with many different things to share. Most noticable of all is germs.
    And Verso, after being immortal, has the immune system of a newborn.
    Along with the growing issue of security for the city and feeding the increased population, things are far from simple.

    featuring - the weather, illness, bad cooking skills, tea!, snuggling, nevron attacks and much more!

    Summary

    Belle Époque Paris, 1913. Verso Dessendre is very good at being wanted. It is, in fact, the only thing the world has ever been willing to pay a ruined aristocrat for, and he has made his peace with that.

    Then Gustave Virlogeux — celebrated conductor of the Opéra, one hand of flesh and one of steel, immovable as a closed door — catches him breaking into the rehearsal hall to play a piano in the dark. Instead of calling the gendarmes, he offers Verso a real chance and an honest wage, and commits the truly unforgivable sin of refusing to be charmed.

    This is a story about a maestro who won't play along, a brat who won't behave, and a grand piano that did not consent to any of this. It is also, underneath all that, a story about being wanted for the whole of yourself — scars, ruin, and all — by someone who refuses to let you sell the one true thing you've got.

    Or: a maestro who conducts in bed exactly as he does on the podium, a pianist whose every seduction technique fails spectacularly and repeatedly (until it doesn't), and one grand piano that did not survive the experience.

    Summary

    When Gustave re-joins his old dive crew, he doesn't expect to find their newest member so attractive, or so irritating. Verso pushes the boundaries of what is safe or practical for a human diver, taking risks that should by all rights have gotten him killed. He's reckless, arrogant, and a show-off. But there's something about him that draws Gustave like a moth to a flame.

    Summary

    Gustave tried to remind himself that he actually enjoyed showing new people around the wildlife rehabilitation facility. Most of the times he did this, he was able to tell someone something new, and watch a spark light up in their eyes. It even happened with snooty rich people. Sometimes.
    That was how the three Dessendre siblings found him.

    Summary

    Three years ago, during the perfect Summer at his family's summer home, Verso Dessendre fell in love.

    Then, he was forcibly reminded that he had his responsibilities, his duties, and that his life was not a fairy tale where he could run away with the merman he'd fallen in love with.

    However, left to rot by the sea, without his ability to paint, with vicious wounds from a fire his sister had not survived, Verso can't help but wish for just a little of that fairy tale magic for himself and the merman who had stolen his heart - Gustave.

    Summary

    Gustave babysits Verso Dessendre as a teenager through his High School years.

    Eventually, though, Verso decides that he is too old for Gustave, and they drift apart, even though they spent hours talking about trains every single day for years on years.

    Years later, when their paths happen to cross again thanks to the meddling of his friends and family, Gustave is surprised to find that not only does Verso remember him - there's a spark that wasn't there before. One that... well. He's not about to let slip through his fingers.

    Summary

    Verso wears many masks. For each person in his life, he finds exactly what they need him to be and becomes that just for them. He never expected to have difficulty finding the perfect mask for Gustave. No more than he ever expected Gustave to be able to see right through to the heart of him.
