    Summary

    Verso could use a fake boyfriend to get his mother off his back.
    Sciel introduces Gustave.
    They agree on a mutually beneficial arrangement.

    It's supposed to be simple—hold hands, attend events together, survive his family, and be convincing enough.

    They're pretending.
    They're somehow excellent at pretending—and also terrible at it.
    They promise to keep things simple.
    Then immediately do the emotional equivalent of lighting the rulebook on fire.

    Somewhere between "practice," an ungodly late night phone call, and the catastrophic one‑bed situation, the line between fake and real quietly packs its bags and leaves.

    Summary

    Modern AU - by Gustave’s definition, he is most certainly not a virgin, (frottage to the point of mutual completion back in his high school days) but that definition just isn’t doing it anymore at 32, so he goes to a bar for a hookup just to get rid of all of his fucking nerves about the whole thing, not even expecting it to be a good time.

    Cue in Verso, who just goes home with Gustave expecting a quick one night stand - only to once he finds out about how Gustave’s never had real sex before, to show him just how good it can be, over multiple hookups, slowly but surely falling completely for him and stopping his fuck-boi tendencies

    Summary

    The Pride & Prejudice AU you didn't know you needed // Arranged marriage to love // Slow burn

    "Why?" Verso asked, his pale eyes fixed on Gustave's face with unsettling intensity.
    "Why sacrifice yourself for her?"
    The question caught Gustave off guard. He opened his mouth, closed it again, searching for the right words.
    "Because she is my sister," he said simply. "And I would do anything for her."

    In Belle Époque France, an old promise binds two families. When the promised bride refuses, her brother steps forward instead — binding himself to a man shaped by pride and expectation.

    Gustave Virlogeux is practical, dependable, and entirely unremarkable — or so he has always believed. Verso Dessendre is composed, untouchable, and dangerously perceptive.
    Their engagement is duty. Their courtship is stolen glances, careful distance, and the maddening warmth of a hand that lingers a moment too long.

    But what begins as obligation unfolds into a slow reckoning with everything they cannot say — until what was never supposed to be real becomes the only thing that is.

    Summary


    "I'm leaving Paris," Verso says brusquely, by way of a greeting. He has never been very good with words; that has always been Papa's strength, not his.

    Gustave inhales sharply, watching him in silence, his hands clutching his notebook so hard the spine begins to twist.

    "You want me to come with you," he says finally, looking at Verso as though he has entirely lost his mind.

    Or:

    Time is running out. With war looming over Belle Epoque Paris, Verso must make a choice between his duty to his family and the young Writer who has unknowingly stolen his heart.

    He chooses Gustave.

    Summary

    As a lonely teenager, Verso paints himself a friend on a small, hidden canvas: Gustave, a confidant who quietly grows into something more. After the fracture, the other Verso finds Gustave again in Lumière. It should be impossible - and keeping his distance might be.
