    Summary

    encordés (French, mountaineering, plural): roped together; tied to a partner on the same rope, so that if one of you falls, the other can hold the line.

    Gustave is an experienced climber. When a route in the French Alps goes wrong, he expects broken bones and weeks of gruesome recovery. What he does not expect is, instead, to fall, slowly and catastrophically, for the unfairly attractive mountain rescuer who keeps visiting his hospital room.

    But Verso carries his own scars, and Gustave has learned the hard way that being wanted means hiding the parts of himself that are broken, and that leaving first hurts less than being left behind.

    This is a story about concussed flirting, scars and second chances, about being seen completely — and two stubborn idiots learning that the rope works in both directions.

    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

    1905. The Orient Express cuts through Europe, a world of velvet and steam where propriety reigns supreme.

    Verso Dessendre, bored aristocrat and gifted painter, has found exactly one interesting thing about this interminable journey: the train's director, Gustave Virlogeux, whose stern authority and devastating competence make Verso want to misbehave.

    Gustave has managed difficult passengers for fifteen years. He knows precisely what to do with one who is asking so desperately to be put in his place.

    It's only a matter of time before Gustave's patience for Verso's pretenses runs out. And when it does, Verso learns that some lessons are best taught in private — or as private as a moving train allows.
