    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.

    Summary

    Today was in the running for being the worst day of his life.  

    Verso took a deep breath and stared at the nurse who was giving him the most unimpressed look he'd ever seen, so Verso steeled himself and said the sentence he had spent the entire drive to the hospital psyching himself up to say.  

    "I am wearing a cock ring, and the latch to remove it broke.  I cannot take it off.  I have tried. It is stuck, it is made of Titanium, and will not come off."

    Summary

    Verso saves Gustave at Stone Wave Cliffs, but as their Disaster Expedition makes their way across the Continent he begins to notice something seems to be troubling him...

    Note: This was a just a thought that popped into my head. What if Gustave was saved but he no longer wants to throw rocks because he associates it with the bad memories from SWC?

    Summary

    Gustave is excited to see snow for the first time in his life. On their way to Monoco's station, Verso has a special surprise for him.

    There will be snowball fights, pining and sweet kisses. This is pure fluff because I think we need more of that.

    Update: I've commissioned the amazing Amiko for an artwork for this fic and I need you all to look at how perfectly it captures the way Verso is completely in love with Gustave!

    Summary

    Before he can pull her attention too far astray, she locates his Picto within her internal compendium. "That's Transformation, isn't it?" she remarks, drawing over the lines once more to confirm that she has, indeed, recalled the right one. "To alter one's physical form with Chroma."

    "Ah." Gustave shyly turns his head into the bedroll beneath him, and for a moment he stays there, face buried in a halo of dark curls. When he reveals himself again he's flushing slightly, and his dark brows draw together with a nervous tension. "To put it that way — Emma and I used to be identical twins. Does that bother you?"

    Summary

    In 1903, a twenty-four year old Verso Dessendre goes to a bar to prove to himself that he isn't gay. When he instead gets taken under Gustave's experienced, deeply slutty wing and ridden to within an inch of his life, he is not exactly inclined to complain about this.

    (Or: Masken said a single sentence and I responded with 5k of porn. You know, like a normal person?)

    Summary

    "It's a big thing," Sciel says, conversationally. "Having one. It changes the shape of everything. Pierre, Lune, and I—we talked about it for a long time before. It still managed to surprise us, how much." She glances at him. "Do you ever think about it?"

    The question lands lightly. That is the thing about Sciel—she puts things down rather than pressing them in. Verso is aware, not for the first time, that this is probably what makes her so effective at interrogations like these.


    "I think Gustave has found his way to something that works," he says, which is not an answer to the question she asked, and they both know it. "He's not—wanting for anything. He's got more than enough people in his life who need him."


    Sciel makes a small sound. Not disagreement, exactly.


    "What," Verso says.


    "Nothing." A pause. "I'm just—thinking about what 'enough' means,” she looks at him sideways, "and I think you're avoiding the question."

    In which two people who had stopped expecting things discover, somewhat belatedly, that they want the same one.

    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

    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.
