    Summary

    After Verso loses his family to a house fire, he takes up a position as lightkeeper in an attempt to flee from both his grief and the prying eyes of Parisian high society.

    Lumière is as sleepy as little towns come, and its folk are as kind and curious as one would expect. The lighthouse itself sits just out of town, on a little cliff jutting out from the coast of Bretagne. It’s an old place in a state of obvious disrepair, but thankfully the town’s engineer Gustave is as capable as he is handsome.

    The perfect place for Verso, even though the sea starts whispering to him in his family’s voices at night. Grief can do that to a man, he thinks.

    But when Gustave warns him not to listen to those that call for him in the darkness with a haunted look in his eyes, Verso realizes there is more at play in Lumière, and that his peaceful lightkeeper escape might turn out not to be so peaceful after all.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR THE GAME, LIKE SERIOUSLY

    Verso let Gustave die on those cliffs, but he couldn't bring himself leave him there.

    He should know that despite good intentions, his sentimentality has never ended well for him.

    This becomes even more evident to him as he watches the picto he contained Gustaves chroma in, dissolve into his skin.

    Summary

    At first glance, it looked like the perfect place.

    To heal from grief and loss, Gustave dedicated himself to help his sister pursue her ambitious dream. Together, they shall open a school, a place where gifted youth can flourish through art. And they discovered the ideal location for that, an abandoned manor, nestled in the heart of Paris but plagued with a gruesome reputation.

    As the siblings bring new light into the desolated estate, Gustave begins to sense that he is not alone. A restless presence lingers in the empty hallways, burdened by loneliness and craving for kinship. And maybe love too.

    Meanwhile, in the hidden depths of the manor, something far darker than ghosts awakens…

    Summary

    Gustave Écrivain is a Head Mechanic of the Jaeger program, creator of the Painted series of Jaegers, and a former Jaeger pilot cadet.

    Verso Dessendre is one of the pilots of Painted Cypher, one of the fastest and most lethal Jaegers in the world, and currently without a co-pilot.

    Both of them have their past, their baggage, and a hundred reasons that they should not work together as Jaeger pilots. Yet the second they step in a sparring ring together, it is obvious from that very first exchange - they are meant to be.

    Can they overcome their respective pasts, and all of the obstacles in the present - to end up together in the one place that matters.

    The Drift.
