Summary
"Are the voices inside your head still yours, Lune?"
She cut him a withering glare, dozens of truths and memorized speeches caught in her throat. He met her gaze dead on, irises near colorless where they once held a hint of blue. He didn't look away, and neither could she.
"Are yours?"
---
Nearly three years after saving the Canvas, Lune is restless. She's uncovered every mystery, solved every problem, and reached the limit of what the world can give her. Never before has she felt the world so small. The only remaining questions all circle back to the man she refuses to see, and who has isolated himself from everyone else. But when a dangerous new Nevron threatens the city and Maelle disappears, Lune has no choice but to go to him for answers.
Verso wants nothing more than to die. He'll settle for destroying any sliver of love between himself and those he called friend. But when Lune brings word of Maelle's disappearance and a Nevron he's never heard of, even he can't ignore the opportunity.
Once bound by respect and something deeper, Lune and Verso have nothing but distrust and loathing between them. They'll need more than that to save Maelle from the Nevron--and herself.

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
PARIS, 1898: Since he could hold a brush to canvas, Verso has always been told who he was meant to be. At seventeen, a valet draws the line at who Verso is allowed to love. Just after his nineteenth birthday, Verso meets a man inside his canvas who rewrites every rule he's ever known by asking, daring, and loving. The problem? That man wasn't ever meant to exist at all. If Verso never Painted Gustave into being... how did he get into his canvas—and why can't he leave?
A lit-fic adjacent fanfic exploring and expanding some pre-canon headcanon. I invite you to join for some self-indulgent, character-driven fun times.
* * *
“Introduction via first blood?”
Verso shakes his head. Shakes his whole body—he’s trembling. Adrenaline and agony both staking their claim in his rattling bones.
“Good,” Gustave says. “I figure I’m due a name and an explanation, petit tueur.”
“Verso,” he mutters.
“Enchanté, Verso.” Gustave hums, half amused. “Next time, ask before resorting to knives—it might spare you an unflattering sobriquet.” -

Summary
"A search and rescue mission was finally proposed in a town hall meeting one night in the central plaza. Julie had watched as a father, with his son and daughter meekly trailing behind, made a plea to cobble together a few people to try and look for any other survivors beyond the shores of their new island. He had been one of those whose residence had been torn away on another piece of Lumière. He was a simple painter by trade, but was willing to take up any job if it meant finding his wife and eldest daughter again, who had been separated from the rest of the family. That desperation was so achingly known to the point that words needed not be spoken between the people in attendance that the agreement was unanimous. It was natural, then, that the man - Renoir - was appointed the leader of the mission. Those who weren’t already neck-deep in rebuilding the city were eager to join, with Julie included. She didn’t think she’d be able to take another day of living in the midst of such a stark reminder of the way of life she had lost."

Summary
The history of the Expeditions is over, the team was successful and from the remains of Lumiére Maelle wishes to recreate the world and help his brother find meaning. Verso has a hard time accepting her decisions and the consequences of his own, especially the broken trust of his teammates, one of them in particular. He fights to find meaning, and a reason to live in this renewed world. He wishes to fix the broken relationships he left after himself. Buried under the determination to escape this life he finds feelings unfamiliar and terrifying, wishing to be fulfilled. Gustave re-enters this world as well, as a changed man, no longer restricted by a limited lifetime. He has to decide what will he do now that all that he believed to be true changed fundamentally.
Set after the Ending of the game, Maelle’s ending in particular, I’m trying to resolve my feelings and fill in the gaps in the meantime. I also aim to explore the romances of which we were robbed as usual. There was way too much unresolved tension in more ways than one. Hope someone will find this entertaining😄 I also saw someone saying Verso doing what he did after the romance was a “villain move” and I took that personally.

Summary
You expected the expedition to be like the rest, go to the continent and kill the paintress, but it was far from that. When someone from expedition 35 actually makes it back to the city rambling about white haired people who couldn't die it turns everything upside-down.
Now expedition 34's main mission wasn't to kill the paintress, it was to find one of these white haired people and bring them back to Lumiere…under any means necessary.

Summary
Back when Verso still believed himself to be just another face in Lumière’s crowd, he was becoming quite impatient with waiting for his soulmate to appear so they could bring colours into each other’s lives. It wasn’t really that much about the colours themselves, music brought the depth into the world for Verso, but he wanted someone to write the melodies for.
Then, Verso learnt the truth and knew that, in a world where no one was supposed to go through life alone, he was a fake made to exist without anyone to complete his soul.
It’s more than half a century later when fate mocks him again.

Summary
The Canvas was destroyed when Verso's soul stopped painting. The end of a long reign of suffering was over.
And then it came back.
Gustave died. He knows that much. He was dead. But now he's back on the ship on the day after the Gommage of everyone who was 33 years old, and now he's back on his way to the continent to repeat the cycle of destruction. But he isn't alone. It quickly becomes apparent that Lune, Sciel, and Maelle are back, too. And they have a plan to save as many lives as possible. And to defeat the painters. Plural. Because that is a thing, apparently.
To Gustave's worry, this plan revolves around Maelle and a man named Verso. A man who will save Maelle on the beach just as he did last time.
But something about this whole things is strange, and this group of survivors they have gathered slowly begin to uncover conspiracies that extend far beyond the problems of their canvas.
Because for Maelle, it's been four years since the canvas was destroyed, and she swears on her brother's grave she wasn't the one to repaint it.

Summary
Gustave wakes with a choking gasp. Cold stone under his cheek, blood on his tongue. He was supposed to die, but he's still alive. Somehow. Whole and unharmed and utterly alone.
His miraculous survival means nothing if he can't get back to Maelle and the others before he gommages. With too many questions and too few answers, Gustave must navigate the Continent alone while fighting his own demons. He has to find Maelle, whatever the cost. But doubt and despair are difficult foes to fight when there's no one by your side.

Summary
You are many things, yet you are nothing at all with this dulled memory. Your life a lie, mixed with truths, yet still the outcome is a sense of betrayal. You are powerful, yet at the same time, you are weak. You are, what you are. A creator of beauty, with butterfly wings.

Summary
[SPOILERS!]
You are a loved one from borrowed memories, a flicker of salvation, a source of devastating desire; you're a fragment of the man who loved his music, loved his paintings, loved him, and yet you, too, are merely a painted copy of what Verso never had.
Real or fake, you are prepared to live and die for him.
But when the Chroma settles and the Canvas falls into the hands of an idealistic tyrantess, maybe sharing in replicant emptiness is liberation; perhaps you can reminisce together, guiltlessly dream of time shared in life and death, ponder the silver-linings of a miserable future.
Maybe you'll whisper of ways to make it all disappear, too.

Summary
“Do you need something?” Lune asks.
“No, no…” Sciel answers, but a distinct smile stretches across her lips, one Lune knows means she’s up to something. “You’re a musical prodigy, right?”
Lune blinks. She hadn’t been expecting that. “‘Prodigy’ might not be the right word,” she says.
“Oh, come on,” Sciel says, nudging her with her elbow. “Don’t sell yourself short! You’re a prodigy at pretty much everything you do!”
Lune’s cheeks flush pink slightly. “You flatter me. What do you want?”
Sciel laughs. “I don’t want anything from you, sweetie. It’s just…” Her eyes drift over to Maelle, and her gaze softens. “I think our little ginger will rest easier if you sing to her.”
Maelle is sick at camp. Sciel suggests a way Lune can help.
