Summary
He plunges his sword into the ground — a familiar, practiced motion. The world pauses for a moment, and he sees the purple threads of blighted chroma ensnaring Gustave; pulls, yanking them towards himself. The pulsing chroma freezes for a second, tightening around the engineer. Then, like a pouncing predator, jumps at Verso.
The world starts moving again. A wave of nausea and fatigue almost knocks Verso to the ground, and it’s a miracle that he manages to dodge the next attack.
Gustave is staring at him, trying to process what just happened.
“Run,” Verso croaks.
Or: 5 times Verso carried Gustave’s burden and the 1 time Gustave carried his.

Summary
It has been 8 months since Maelle kicked her family out of the Canvas and chose to stay. Gustave's friends and family have all embraced their second chance at life but Gustave is struggling to accept their new reality. He has thrown himself into his work to keep his mind off of everything but now he has been tasked with collecting study samples from the Continent. No one else is able or willing to join him on the trip and travelling alone is unsafe. Luckily, Maelle convinced Verso to go so Gustave could have someone to watch his back. Gustave and Verso have never really spoken and barely know each other, but a whole month on the Continent together is enough time to change that.
5 times Gustave had to be on corpse management duty + 1 time Verso had to instead

Summary
Heated Rivalry meets Free! in this slow-burn swimming romance with messy feelings, competitive angst, and two idiots who take a decade to figure out they're in love.
They stared at each other. The anger had shifted into something else, something charged and dangerous that made Gustave's heart hammer for reasons that had nothing to do with the fight.
"I hate you," Gustave said. It came out wrong—not angry, almost desperate.
"I hate you too," Verso said, and his eyes were dark, intense, fixed on Gustave's face.Gustave Augustin has spent his entire swimming career finishing second to Verso Dessendre. At 18, they finally meet at French Nationals. The rivalry is instant. The attraction is unwanted. The hookup is inevitable.
The nine-year toxic situationship? That's where it gets complicated.
Because they have rules: just physical, no feelings, no one can know. They follow them religiously—until they can't anymore.Now they are forced to choose: keep hiding, or risk everything.

Summary
Monoco sighs. There are no marks on his body, of course, but he can see — the bloodstains on the ropes, the long-burned campfire with an iron rod lying in it. The gag, not compatible with a real interrogation. Most importantly — Verso’s evasiveness; barely hidden fear in the pale eyes that refuse to look up.
“Questions”. Sure.
He finishes with most of the ropes, feeling relief that it’s almost over — and stops, trying to comprehend what he is looking at.
Or: Monoco finds Verso after a rough encounter with an expedition. Freeing him turns out to be more complicated than any of them was ready for.

Summary
It didn’t storm in the canvas.
Or at least, before the Fracture it never had. It snowed in the mountains. Rained softly in the forests. It didn’t storm.
Well, there was a first time for everything.
