Summary
"The 'Muse' is a woman who sees right through every curtain you pull shut. And you’re hurting her, Tern."
On the Fool’s Elysium, the show must always go on. Tern Brant, the legendary 'Flaming Returned' turned flamboyant Captain of the Troupe of Fools, has spent years perfecting the art of the mask. To the world, he is a vibrant, fire-wielding performer; to himself, he is a man running from a past that incinerates everything it touches.
But when the Rover enters his orbit, the script begins to fail. What started as a drunken confession is now a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse played through 'rehearsals' and discarded scripts. As Rover dismantles his defence with a surgeon’s precision, Brant finds himself trapped between the safety of the Fool and the vulnerability of the Man.
With the sea turning treacherous and the weight of his real name pulling him under, Brant must decide: will he keep playing to a crowded house, or finally become a man worth sailing with?
A slow burn study of masks, trauma, and the terror of being truly seen.

Summary
Luuk Herrssen was subject to the Fractsidus' experiments for much too long. When he escaped, he was left with a 'curse' in the shape of a festering ooze from his tacet mark—a malicious ichor that is in constant war for his body and mind.
The Rover was always there to help with it. But it seemed that the Rover had an alternate agenda, and had to leave Luuk behind. Yet years later, Luuk still waits for his companion's return.
But it's not how he expected. Every day his hand and mind get worse, the Fracstidus get more bold, and the Rover returns almost unrecognizable...
or...Experiment!Luuk AU with the angst and suffering only capable from a pining gay man with a traumatic past.

Summary
The City Hall of Jinzhou was never above cruelty, because in their eyes, it wasn't unjust. It was simply necessary.
So, when Subject #001 was in need of a new handler, who did they ask?
The mysterious Rover, who was talented and useful, but most importantly did not have any connections to Jinzhou.
Perfect to be Subject #001's new handler.
And Sentinels knew no one else was willing to deal with him.
(Or, the fic no one asked for, where Scar was captured and experimented on before his first meeting with Rover.)
