    Summary

    When Gustave LaClaire moved back home to Lumiere, he hadn't intended on forming a "pen pal" relationship with a complete stranger. After responding to a vague letter with no discernible names though, he and the mysterious 'V' begin to exchange letters back and forth, forming a friendship over long distance. Gustave couldn't possibly be falling in love with someone he had never met, right?

    This is a 'Wrong Address' AU thought that would not leave my head.

    Summary

    “Don’t let the blood get into your ship, okay?”

    That made Grace pause. “What?!”

    “If I die, you have to get my body out of here,” the man pleaded, but Grace had to go. His oxygen was out. The guy would be dead in six minutes. “You have to get me out, even if I’m dead. Hey!”

    “Just hold on!” Grace propelled himself through zero gravity, away from the radio.

    “Don’t leave me here-!” The roar echoed through the ship halls.

    ---

    When Ryland Grace complained about being a little bored, maybe a little lonely, he thought a nostalgic trip around Erid would fix him right up. The last thing he expected was to find deadly space bacteria in deep space and a human. Alive.

    Summary

    Father Gustave Moreau knows three things when he arrives at Saint-Élie: his flock is wealthy, his predecessor is dead, and the bishop has warned him about the Dessendres.

    Verso Dessendre knows three things when he comes to Mass with blood under his nails and sin on his tongue: he killed the woman who broke him, he wants to fuck his priest, and he's not sure which sin is worse.

    Father Gustave has one answer: come to me. Bleeding or whole. Just come.

    What they build is a private religion—one where worship happens on knees, absolution is paid in pain, and the only miracle is the moment a sinner learns to let himself be touched gently.

    Or : Verso Dessendre didn't believe in God until a priest put his mouth on him and called it prayer.

    Summary

    5 months ago, a series of space stations calling themselves the "Coalition of Iron" appeared throughout the 40-Eridani system, bearing a bewildering and terrifying story of a universe without stars, a humanity on the verge of extinction, and a moon made of human blood.

    Simon survived the Eel and the Eye, only to reimprisoned as soon as he was pulled out, subject to the whims of scientists who seek answers in his biology. Now, Ava's dumped him into the custody of a new scientist, separate from the COI, a complete unknown. He's learned better by now than to hope.

    Dr. Ryland Grace is pulled from his peaceful life on Erid to retrieve a specimen from the COI, an organism mutated by prolonged exposure to the blood ocean of AT-5

    He expects an amoeba. They bring him a person.

    Summary

    Ava steps into the room as the COI officers spin him back around. In her hands are two things: a cuff and a muzzle.

    “No,” Simon whispers again. There is nowhere to go and yet he still sways backwards.

    “Yes, Convict.”

    It's the same man currently trying to kill him.
     

    or, the Eridians find a man covered in blood and Grace hasn't been able to care for something in far too long.

    Summary

    "He allows himself to drink in the rare sight of a relaxed Verso, expression slackened, the tension he is always carrying in his shoulders dissipated. His lips are slightly parted, a strand of hair that has fallen into his face being ruffled with each quiet exhale. Gustave wants to kiss him so badly. Wants to dig his hand into that gorgeous hair, yank him to standing with a tug and pin him against the wall, a leg between his thighs and his mouth against his ear as he takes him apart over and over again."

    Verso is determined to run himself into the ground for the sake of absolution. Gustave refuses to let him and uses whatever means necessary to remind him he doesn't have to.

    Summary

    After ramming the sub straight into the Light, Simon wakes up on a strange spaceship with no memory of how he got there. The state of the Hail Mary -spacious, clean, bright and comfortable- can only lead to one conclusion: Simon has somehow been picked up by one of the highest-ranking leaders of the C.O.I.

    Luckily, Dr. Grace doesn't seem to recognize him, buying Simon enough time to hatch yet another desperate plan for survival before his identity is discovered. In the meantime, Simon tries his best to stay in the man's good graces (no pun intended), but he's hardly known for his charming personality.

    Both of them are in for a bumpy ride.

    Summary

    It doesn't matter. No matter the story, Verso has a chance to die still being of use.

    He'll provoke him into a fight. Try and kill him, as hopeless as the notion may be. If he wins, a 'monster' is no longer haunting this place. If he loses, then the vampire will feed on him. Then he'll be nothing.

    He wants to lose. Being a free meal is better than living.

    OR

    Verso, the last Dessendre, goes to find the resident vampire in Lumiere's woods with some elaborate suicide mission. He doesn't expect the vampire to take him to his home instead. He doesn't expect to fall in love either.

    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

    ”En gardé, monsieur!”

    Verso has a second to register it before he realizes he’s being cornered by three, very serious children. Gustave’s apprentices, to be more precise. Not the threat he first would’ve thought of, but there you go.

    ”What are your intentions towards Gustave?”

    In which the apprentices have had enough of Verso & Gustave’s pining and confront Verso. They might also recruit some help while they're at it, and Verso suffers.

    Summary

    In a newly restored Lumiere, Verso settles into his new life with Gustave and begins to live again after a century of hardship and sorrow. The path, however is not an easy one, as people come with many different things to share. Most noticable of all is germs.
    And Verso, after being immortal, has the immune system of a newborn.
    Along with the growing issue of security for the city and feeding the increased population, things are far from simple.

    featuring - the weather, illness, bad cooking skills, tea!, snuggling, nevron attacks and much more!

    Summary

    Belle Époque Paris, 1913. Verso Dessendre is very good at being wanted. It is, in fact, the only thing the world has ever been willing to pay a ruined aristocrat for, and he has made his peace with that.

    Then Gustave Virlogeux — celebrated conductor of the Opéra, one hand of flesh and one of steel, immovable as a closed door — catches him breaking into the rehearsal hall to play a piano in the dark. Instead of calling the gendarmes, he offers Verso a real chance and an honest wage, and commits the truly unforgivable sin of refusing to be charmed.

    This is a story about a maestro who won't play along, a brat who won't behave, and a grand piano that did not consent to any of this. It is also, underneath all that, a story about being wanted for the whole of yourself — scars, ruin, and all — by someone who refuses to let you sell the one true thing you've got.

    Or: a maestro who conducts in bed exactly as he does on the podium, a pianist whose every seduction technique fails spectacularly and repeatedly (until it doesn't), and one grand piano that did not survive the experience.

    Summary

    When Gustave re-joins his old dive crew, he doesn't expect to find their newest member so attractive, or so irritating. Verso pushes the boundaries of what is safe or practical for a human diver, taking risks that should by all rights have gotten him killed. He's reckless, arrogant, and a show-off. But there's something about him that draws Gustave like a moth to a flame.

    Summary

    Gustave tried to remind himself that he actually enjoyed showing new people around the wildlife rehabilitation facility. Most of the times he did this, he was able to tell someone something new, and watch a spark light up in their eyes. It even happened with snooty rich people. Sometimes.
    That was how the three Dessendre siblings found him.
