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
One quiet winter afternoon, a strangely-dressed man with an aureole over his head falls out of the sky.
Or: Verso thought that it would all end after he expelled Maelle from the Canvas and put the Soul Fragment to rest. Fate seems to have other ideas. Finding himself somewhere else entirely, he has to deal with the unbearable chains of life weighing on him once more.

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.
(Or, Verso is forced to submit to The Mortifying Ordeal of Being Known)

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
Remember this - your name is Verso. You are at least 50 years old. To get your age, subtract the number on the monolith from 100 and add 33. You don’t look old. You’re immortal. You are not real.
Your mother is Aline Dessendre. She is the Paintress. She made you to replace her real son. This is important- you are not real. Your sister is Alicia. Your father is Renoir. You had another sister, but she’s missing. Her name is Clea. None of you are real.
Your mother is trapped at the top of the Monolith by her husband, the real Renoir. Every year she gets weaker and he erases more people. The people of this canvas call it the Gommage. You will not Gommage.
Your mother is dying because she’s been here too long. The only way to save your mother is to make her leave the canvas. The only way to do that is to kill her. You need to work with an Expedition to get through the barrier and kill her.
You won’t remember any of this. Keep this journal close, and read it when you forget again. Every time you die you’ll forget more.

[COMIC] Do you want to spend time with Gustave? by queenstardust

Summary
Hello, this is my first time posting here! : D
I want to share my little Verstave Comic, I drew for the last convention I attended : ) Since I drew it the weekend before the convention, it's self printed and folded out of one DinA4 page, to a pocket size smut zine. It's 6 tiny comic pages+title, so it really is just porn without plot, but a lot of feelings.
I hope you enjoy it ♡Bookmarked by ColdForj

Summary
He knew everyone here, some better than he’d thought he would, some faces well-known even if the souls behind them didn’t recognize him. Everything was quiet, unchanging except for the endless shift of the seasons, and he told himself this was what he needed to be happy.
So when Verso Dessendre saw a strange car, road-dusty with a number plate and rental sticker that announced its further strangeness, bouncing down the town’s ancient, cobblestoned main road, he was instantly suspicious.
Or: Verso Dessendre, acclaimed author and illustrator of the Esquie et ses amis children's book series, lives a quiet and isolated life in Vielle Lumière-sur-Mer for reasons he doesn't examine too closely. When a physics professor on sabbatical shows up in his sleepy backwater town, wearing the face of a man he watched die over a hundred years ago, the questionable peace Verso's found starts to become something else.

the phantom life sharpens like an image by gi_dipshit

Summary
Gustave bought the painting on a rainy Thursday because it was easier to stand among abandoned things than return to an apartment that never felt like his own. He didn't expect the grand piano on the canvas to play itself at midnight. He didn't expect the white roses to multiply.
And he certainly didn't expect Verso—the man trapped inside the ballroom, preserved in oil and grief by a mother who couldn't let go.
In a world that feels half-erased by the rain, two lonely souls find each other across the edge of a gilded frame. But to truly be together, Verso must confront the memory that painted him into a masterpiece and learn what it means to be a person again, rather than just a portrait.

Summary
Painter duels were savage, violent affairs, confined to a canvas, torn apart by the visciousness of the Painters.
Writer duels were far more civilized, rational events, with two Writers, sitting behind a desk, attempting to drown each other in ink.
When Gustave challenges the Head of the Writer's Council - Philippe Auteur to a writer's duel - to save the life of Verso Dessendre and his family, he has every intention of rewriting the rules of engagement.
UPDATE: Now with second kinky ink chapter and art!

Summary
"God, Maelle can’t believe it, she’s so close now. She can’t believe it’s finally happening.

And now, she's here, at the edge of her world."
In which Maelle returns to the Canvas after reconciling with her parents, but sometimes reunions are messy, and things rarely remain the same. Also she notices the very unexpected friendship between Verso and Gustave.
