Summary
There is a new man in Verso’s life. One that has everyone suspicions up. Verso has always known how to endure. Pain, fear, hunger, and exhaustion none of it matters if he can keep moving, keep smiling, keep pretending he is fine. But Gustave sees the truth beneath every joke and every flinch, and he refuses to let Verso drown. Surrounded by people who care more than he knows what to do with, Verso must learn that survival is not the same as living, and being loved is not something he has to earn.

Summary
Gustave dies at Renoir's hand on the Stone Wave Cliffs. Then Gustave opens his eyes to the sound of a cane striking stone at the edge of the Continent. He dies again, he opens his eyes again. Again, again, and again, until he gets it right.
A slow-burn Verstave time loop from Gustave's perspective. The content warning is for time loop-typical death and violence.
Updates on Tuesdays. Check out the music playlist!

Thermal Conductivity by MsCoffeebear for theartsypumpkin (Kuroaloeart)

Summary
thermal conductivity (n.) — the rate at which heat passes through a material; the tendency of two bodies in contact to trade warmth until they settle at the same temperature.
Verso saved Gustave's life at the Stonewave Cliffs and still won't admit why (not even to himself). Now it's freezing, Gustave is too stubborn to say he's cold, and Verso has been quietly, hopelessly gone for him for longer than he'll ever confess.
Or: there was only one blanket.

Summary
As her eyes finally began to adjust enough to see, a dim light flickered on, likely triggered by her movement, granting Maelle her first real look at the room. As it flickered into view, a pained, frightened whimper pierced the silence just as Maelle’s breath froze in her lungs. She could only stand and stare, trying to process the horrible sight before her. Abruptly, she was deeply grateful that she hadn’t taken lunch that day. Bile burned at the back of her throat as her stomach revolted and threatened to send its meagre contents back up her throat.
It was a man. Barely. Or the remains of one.
Verso made a choice when he could no longer abide his father slaughtering Expeditioners and his mother wasting away year after year. He chose to return to Lumiere and attempt to aid the Expeditions in their goal directly with his own knowledge. It's a choice he'd come to regret.
