Summary
There was no ceremony, only Emmrich raising his staff and one hand tracing a sigil in the air. Between the two the air solidified, took shape, and became a sphere of fire and incandescence. The center of it gleamed whitely, shading through yellow and orange and back to blue in the corona so it was as if Emmrich had the sun cupped in his palms, the only true piece of light in this place.
Or: Emmrich has a rough day. Rook decides to comfort him and they end up comforting each other. As is to be expected.

Summary
“So I can have my knife,” Shirin held her patience with both hands, “but where will I keep it?”
“In your gown, of course,” Myrna said.
“IT HAS POCKETS,” Vorgoth boomed.
Or: the fancy dress ball we could have had but didn't because the world is an unfair place. Rook and Emmrich dress up all fancy and infiltrate Johanna Hezenkoss' ball to stop her nefarious plans.

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
He knew everyone here, some better than he’d thought he would, some faces well-known even if the souls behind them didn’t recognize him. Everything was quiet, unchanging except for the endless shift of the seasons, and he told himself this was what he needed to be happy.
So when Verso Dessendre saw a strange car, road-dusty with a number plate and rental sticker that announced its further strangeness, bouncing down the town’s ancient, cobblestoned main road, he was instantly suspicious.
Or: Verso Dessendre, acclaimed author and illustrator of the Esquie et ses amis children's book series, lives a quiet and isolated life in Vielle Lumière-sur-Mer for reasons he doesn't examine too closely. When a physics professor on sabbatical shows up in his sleepy backwater town, wearing the face of a man he watched die over a hundred years ago, the questionable peace Verso's found starts to become something else.

Summary
Over ten years after he burned his canvases at the top of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and very publicly went off the rails, Verso Dessendre returns home, a prodigal son trailing rumors of a deeply private family grief. In those same years, Gustave LeClair has built an academic career restoring the aging bridges over the Seine, helping them bear the weight of both history and the humdrum day-to-day. If only he could do the same for his personal life.
They meet. The confusion is mutual.Bookmarked by mirage992
