Le Clair-Obscur de Nos Âmes by Kai (Roxel)

Summary
The Dessendre name is synonymous with color and light, but for Verso, life is lived in monochrome. Haunted by a fire that scarred his family, he has locked himself away, his music a fortress of sound where no one can reach the man behind the melody.
Enter Gustave, an engineer who sees the world in the light of physics and function, his own heart shadowed by a recent, painful breakup. Their meeting is a collision of two opposing forces: the artist who feels everything and the builder who fixes everything.
In the artistic fervor of Montmartre, their burgeoning connection becomes a work of chiaroscuro, demonstrating that true beauty is found not in perfect light or absolute darkness, but in the delicate balance of both.

La Belle et la Bête by 1_Cut_to_the_space4

Summary
Inspired by Beauty and the Beast.
Gustave lives in the small town of Lumiere with his sister Emma and adopted sister/daughter Maelle, under the shadow of Château Dessendre. A long abandoned castle with a rumor of La Bete roaming the halls at night. But that's just a children's story and the inventor has much more important things to worry about. Like Maelle getting into a fight, still running into Sophie around town, getting his lumina convertor to work, helping the town survive another harsh winter and keeping what ever lurks in the cold forest surrounding Lumiere at bay. He's much to busy for any fantasy story about a lonely prince turned monster, after all it's just a children's story. Right?

Summary
When Gustave ends up injured while exploring an abandoned opera house, caught up in a storm with no way to get help, and left to his own devices, he has to find a way to keep himself warm, dry, and unfortunately awake. Enter Verso Dessendre, the shadow that has haunted L'Opera de Lumiére since his passing, and who is a little more than desperate to find a way to pass on.
But just because he's already dead, doesn't mean he can't enjoy some Earthly wonders while it's still available to him.
And Gustave is just too cute when he's pushed to the brink.
Essentially a crack oneshot that has been broken into several parts describing how Gustave has some hot and steamy ghost sex with Verso. (God help me.)

Summary
While Clea continued to feverishly investigate missing persons cases and his mother continued to paint, he is certain that there was nothing he can do to help his family. Until a small act of kindness committed by Verso, when he saved the life of a tiny man, and the resulting acquaintance, could finally shed light on his little sister's disappearance.
Based on / Inspired by the first two comics by cathianemelian on Tumblr. Branches off entirely afterwards. Can be read without them, but highly recommended.

Summary
"It burns," he wailed. The burning spread down his forearm, around his wrist where he had worn a simple brass bracelet, across his palm to his fingers. He could feel it licking across his skin, splitting his flesh, peeling back the charred tegument. A scraping in his bones, in his fingernails.
He screamed.

Again, and again, and again.

Summary
“You don’t erase damage,” Verso said; “you learn to work with it. Fill the cracks gently. Help it hold together again.”
////
Six months after the explosion at the lab, Gustave returns to work with an arm gone and a brain still far from healed. The university told him to take more time. His friends tried to pull him back into the world, but he’s learned how to turn them all away.
On his first day back, he meets Verso Dessendre; quiet, steady, with scars of his own and a beautiful streak of silver in his hair. A man who restores paintings for a living, yet struggles to restore himself.
As they grow closer, Gustave begins to wonder if Verso might be right.
Maybe some damage isn’t the end, but the start of something worth holding together. -

Summary
His eyes are what she most yearns after: dark, kind, founded on a steel-forged will. It would not do to proceed too rashly, so for him she uses her hands, sketching with deliberation and precision, then glazing in layer over layer of paint, modeling the contours with her finest brushes and richest pigments, until he is perfect: she striates titanium laced with cadmium yellow into his flyaways where the light would catch; swipes in a mustache and heavy brows in broad strokes and stipples on stubble dabbed with just the barest traitorous pinpoints of snowy age; varnishes in washes of ochre-, cinnabar- and azure-touched white turpentine to bring forward the protrusion of his brow from the fold of his hooded lids; and finally, in the deepest seaglass she can mix from her purest indigo and brightest vermillion, pools the warm nadirs of his gaze.

Maelle paints, and Gustave contemplates Verso's choices.
Or: a coda to Maelle's ending (but likely quite some time before that epilogue scene in the opera house).

The words snapped.

Summary
Clea wants to wrinkle her nose and laugh at the same time. Love. How foolish, the only thing two legendary lovers achieved was a couple of lost children and a beautiful cautionary tale.
“At least now I understand why you're so easy to talk into answering my questions and why your brother drove mine crazy.”
Emma turns to her and smiles enigmatically.
“Do you want me to be a more predictable Rose?” Her voice is suddenly lower and filled with honey and poison. “A beautiful, seductive creature who stares at you with adoring eyes while you stand there inflated with your splendour? You know how to play against those, don't you?”
Clea knows. She is just under five hundred years old, and she knows how to take Toreadors by the neck and shake the truth out of them, how to break and bend them, what to say to make them stop their one-actor theatre and start answering questions directly.
“I know how to play against you,” Clea says coldly. “You need this deal more than I do, Rose. You will tell me anything I want to know.”Series

Summary
Clea pulls out a map one day and tells Alicia to point to a spot on it.
She does, and they circle it with a felt-tip pen, looking the name up online on Clea’s beat up old laptop (which is the only computer they own that wasn’t destroyed in the fire).
It’s some backwater village named Lumière.
or: After Verso dies and they lose everything in the fire, the Dessendre sisters leave Paris behind.
