    Summary

    Of all the sights Verso Dessendre had expected to see when he stepped into an alley two filthy corners away from the rue Laplace, it was not this: an omega with his back to a medieval wall, sword held in one steady hand, holding two alphas at bay.

    Or: It's midsummer in the Paris of the Belle Époque and Verso Dessendre's strange, half-lived life starts to change forever, while Gustave Auclair only hopes his changes for the better--and that the annoying alpha who's suddenly turned up to disrupt everything would just go away.

    Summary

    “Are you… real?” Gustave whispers to the statue. Of course he is only met with silence.

    And still he feels an inexplicable pull towards it. Rationality tells him that he is defiling the resting place of a mummy right now. But the emotional side, the one that makes a gentle warmth spread through his chest and his heart beat with excited anxiety: It tells him this being is alive.

    Summary

    Gustave awoke to the gray light of early morning and Verso crouched beside the bed, two fingers wrapped around his wrist.

    "What," Gustave managed, "are you doing."


    "Your heart rate was elevated during sleep," Verso said, matter-of-factly. "Irregular breathing patterns. I wanted to ensure you were not experiencing a medical emergency."


    "I was dreaming," Gustave said, with extraordinary care. "People do that."


    Verso's brow creased slightly. "Oh." A pause, and something moved through his expression that resolved before Gustave could name it. "My apologies. I have logged this for future reference." He did not let go of Gustave's wrist.


    "You can let go now."


    "Your pulse is still elevate
    d."

    "Because you startled me awake."


    Verso stared at him, and for just a moment, something like annoyance flickered across his expression.

    In which Gustave comes across a destroyed android in the scrapyard. When VRS-0 wakes with no memory, neither of them are prepared for what comes next.

    Summary

    Long ago, the city now known as Old Lumière prospered, watched over by a benevolent sorceress known as The Paintress. Then came the drought. And the famine. And the people began to blame their sorceress for their misfortune. They set fire to her mansion, killing her only son. Unable to heal him, the sorceress did the only thing she could to save him - she cast a curse. From that moment on, he became a terrible creature, the outward manifestation of the worst parts of himself. The city fell, overrun with cursed monsters. And a clock began ticking down. If, within a century, the creature that had once been Verso could find his soulmate, he would be returned to life. But if a hundred years pass without a soulmate being found the curse would take every last descendent of Old Lumière.

    “Surely you know about soulmates,” Monoco says, disapproval clear in his voice.
    And Gustave does know about soulmates. The thing about soulmates is that they are incredibly rare. Because not only did both souls have to be compatible, both had to be willing, too. They had to choose each other. No coercion, no ulterior motives, just… choice. And who would ever choose to love a monster?
