   Summary

   "This would have never happened if we had not met. All of this, all of this pain, these… feelings, I would not be feeling this if we had never locked eyes, if I never let him into that room with me. All I wish for now is to either turn back the clock and prevent the fire, prevent us from meeting if I had to, or to follow him down into the soft dirt forever."

   -

   The heir to a writers family meets the charming Verso Dessendre. Growing closer, the two realise they can no longer deny their own feelings. Loving each other behind closed doors, they try to keep up with the current conflicts that reign among the guilds of Paris, hoping to god that they will stay with each other until death - and beyond.
