In Theory, We're Not in Love by EmberPuppy
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)

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
Verso's smile widened, and Gustave knew with crystal clarity that the universe had a sick sense of humor. His Friday night blues had just become his Monday morning colleague.
"We've met," Verso said easily, still watching Gustave with those piercing eyes. "Haven't we, Gustave?"
The claim of his full name landed in Gustave’s gut like a stone, heavy and cold, followed by the slow bloom of heat at his throat where the kisses still ached.
He was so, so fucked.
Or: they say when you love a character so much you'd inevitably write them taking it up the ass

Summary
Death, Emmrich tells him, is his greatest fear. But there’s an elegance in it. A beauty that cannot be duplicated by anything else, save for the soundness of sleep. The closest to death they can ever come without straying into true danger. The stillness, the heaviness, of deep, dreamless sleep is like a little death, but a different one than the first he’d shared with Lucanis.

Summary
“Thank you.”
He barely caught it — the soft breath of thanks — yet it was still a struggle not to flinch away; to apologise for the situation they found themselves in. “Get some rest,” Lucanis murmured into Emmrich’s nape instead. Weak yet even breaths followed as Emmrich seemed to doze off, the worrying rattle from earlier thankfully absent. He didn’t look forward to the awkward conversation they would have to have, but if Emmrich was still alive to have it, Lucanis would consider it a fair exchange.When a Venatori ambush leaves Lucanis and a wounded Emmrich trapped in the High Anderfels, they're forced to navigate the treacherous landscape in hopes of reuniting with their lost companions and the Grey Warden patrol they were meant to find. But the mountains hold more than storms and uncanny predators, and Lucanis must wrestle with a far more dangerous conflict: his fiercely guarded feelings for the very necromancer he has sworn to protect.

Yes, this version of 007 was a terrifyingly smart agent, and M wondered long and often whether it had been a good idea to promote him to the position. Usually, the title was the dangerous part - being 007 meant deadliness - but this time, M feared that a certain man with ice-blue eyes and scruffy blonde hair had dragged in more danger to the title than it had previously possessed
Enter MI6's new Quartermaster: an unassuming, bespectacled genius with no mind for subterfuge but plenty of genius behind a dry smile. Curious 00-agents and young boffins don't always mix in predictable ways...

Summary
"Are you suggesting that I should have sex with someone just to calm Spite down?" He asked incredulously.
Emmrich gave a small shrug.
"I wouldn't phrase it in such a blunt manner," he replied, setting his teacup down on the table with a soft clink. Lucanis watched as Emmrich's long fingers curled delicately in his lap. "But yes, in essence. Spite craves physical intimacy. Wouldn't it be worth indulging him, just to find some peace?"
Lucanis felt a flash of embarrassment rush through him. This conversation was a disaster. He looked to the ceiling, wishing he could melt into the floor.

In which Spite won't leave Lucanis alone regarding his desires for Rook. Emmrich mediates.
