Summary
Gustave has served Clea, Goddess of Art and Discipline, for years. He was her dutiful priest, perfect devotee, her chosen champion. When he lost his arm in her trial, she did not restore it. Perfection, she taught him, is found in endurance. In discipline through suffering.
Gustave learned to believe her. Learned to live with incompleteness.
But then something notices him.
Verso, nameless God of Dreams and Desires, has watched his sister's perfect little priest far too long. And he's decided that Clea's most faithful servant would look so much better ruined. In dreams, Verso offers what Clea never would: wholeness. Gustave's arm returns: living onyx veined with gold, beautiful and impossible and wrong.
Night by night, the corruption spreads. And Verso himself, beautiful, terrible, too much, learns to wear a shape that Gustave can bear to touch.
Some Gods are kind. Some Gods are cruel. And some only want to prove that even perfection has a breaking point. But what happens to a God who set out to take, and finds himself wanting to be chosen instead?

Summary
1905. The Orient Express cuts through Europe, a world of velvet and steam where propriety reigns supreme.
Verso Dessendre, bored aristocrat and gifted painter, has found exactly one interesting thing about this interminable journey: the train's director, Gustave Virlogeux, whose stern authority and devastating competence make Verso want to misbehave.
Gustave has managed difficult passengers for fifteen years. He knows precisely what to do with one who is asking so desperately to be put in his place.
It's only a matter of time before Gustave's patience for Verso's pretenses runs out. And when it does, Verso learns that some lessons are best taught in private — or as private as a moving train allows.

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
encordés (French, mountaineering, plural): roped together; tied to a partner on the same rope, so that if one of you falls, the other can hold the line.
Gustave is an experienced climber. When a route in the French Alps goes wrong, he expects broken bones and weeks of gruesome recovery. What he does not expect is, instead, to fall, slowly and catastrophically, for the unfairly attractive mountain rescuer who keeps visiting his hospital room.
But Verso carries his own scars, and Gustave has learned the hard way that being wanted means hiding the parts of himself that are broken, and that leaving first hurts less than being left behind.
This is a story about concussed flirting, scars and second chances, about being seen completely — and two stubborn idiots learning that the rope works in both directions.
(Complete; updates twice weekly)

Summary
He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.
A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.
At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…
It’s not Maelle.
No, it’s Gustave.
Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.
