    Summary

    Gustave Écrivain is a Head Mechanic of the Jaeger program, creator of the Painted series of Jaegers, and a former Jaeger pilot cadet.

    Verso Dessendre is one of the pilots of Painted Cypher, one of the fastest and most lethal Jaegers in the world, and currently without a co-pilot.

    Both of them have their past, their baggage, and a hundred reasons that they should not work together as Jaeger pilots. Yet the second they step in a sparring ring together, it is obvious from that very first exchange - they are meant to be.

    Can they overcome their respective pasts, and all of the obstacles in the present - to end up together in the one place that matters.

    The Drift.

    Summary

    …his little grin, so proud of his latest creation. But at least those memories remain. What hurts more are the memories unmade. The conversations we’ll never have, the time we’ll never spend.

    I want rage to consume me, anything to fill the hollow. But rage won’t come. I just float in an endless nothingness…

    …the person I cannot be around is Alicia. Her pain is a broken mirror, the shards reflecting back tenfold. Every moment with her, the cuts deepen, and I feel myself unravelling…

    …I know what he’ll say, but this is the first time I’ve felt any surcease. For a few moments a day, my heart beats again…

    =====

    Aline Dessendre accounts the time with her son from infancy to his death and beyond here in this interpretation of how she may have decided to come to stay within Verso's Canvas.

    Summary

    Fix-it fic of the Maelle ending.

    Literally just an excuse to give this sad nerd a less depressing fate, more or less. Featuring some Monoco bromance, a lot of sadVerso thoughts, an extremely slowburn romance, Gustave being a sweetheart and Sciel being a menace. Also I made Julie and Simon siblings because I can.

    Verso/Sciel is mentioned only in passing.
