Summary
What befell Gustave was the figure of a young man. He appeared mostly hunched over with an arm curled around his side, while the other braced his remaining weight against the door.
"…Y-You're really going to leave me out here to die, you stupid lazy bas-" His voice had come out in labored huffs. Snarling pain that seared into each and every syllable, gone the moment his silver eyes found Gustave's. Gustave blinked and took in the scene in front of him, watching blood and rain mix as it ran its way down the stranger's left arm. Beneath that, Gustave could see his side had been left torn open and what remained of his shirt was now hanging off his frame in mere suggestions of fabric. Gustave's mouth worked for a few seconds, his knuckles had gone white in contrast to the umbrella's dark blue wrap. He was brought back to reality, catching a glimpse of what looked like a world-weary smile crack across the stranger's lips,
"You.. aren't Monoco."
A short story set in modern time where Gustave housesits and has an unexpected visitor.

Summary
Father Gustave Moreau knows three things when he arrives at Saint-Élie: his flock is wealthy, his predecessor is dead, and the bishop has warned him about the Dessendres.
Verso Dessendre knows three things when he comes to Mass with blood under his nails and sin on his tongue: he killed the woman who broke him, he wants to fuck his priest, and he's not sure which sin is worse.
Father Gustave has one answer: come to me. Bleeding or whole. Just come.
What they build is a private religion—one where worship happens on knees, absolution is paid in pain, and the only miracle is the moment a sinner learns to let himself be touched gently.
Or : Verso Dessendre didn't believe in God until a priest put his mouth on him and called it prayer.

Summary
A Modern AU set in the small town of Lumière.
~~~
He glanced at his watch while walking and realized in a sudden gasp: the moment of serenity he had allowed himself a minute ago had distracted him from a carefully curated schedule. He rounded the corner quickly whilst not looking and immediately swerved out of the way to avoid a collision. Gustave couldn't think, couldn't remember what words tumbled past his lips besides a frantic apology in passing. His hands grazed over soft material- flannel? --something easy on his fingers. He carefully steadied the both of them before apologizing again with a smile and rushing down the rest of the block. The individual who had been equally startled collected themselves and took a second to adjust the sunglasses sitting at the crown of his head. He watched Gustave disappear around another corner in the distance. A gentle snort tinged with amusement found him, followed by a sigh not too long after. He shook his head and continued on his way in the opposite direction.
~~~This is my own personal love letter to the classic rom-com type setting: meet-cutes, tooth aching fluff with a side of angst soup, slow burn, I really hope you enjoy :)

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
Overview: Robert descent into anti-hero AU, canon divergence. Angst for the strong. Angst/hurty/smut.
Personal fav of my fics!
*
Mecha Man falls, but the Phoenix program never existed to catch him.
Without friends or the mech suit, Robert Robertson is desperate and reduced to his last options when one of Shroud’s lieutenants hunts him down in his apartment…one whose strange augments give him an idea.
Robert is done with the high road. He’s ready to do what he has to do to take his city back.
*
“If he dies, he dies,” Shroud said slowly. “If he survives…then Mecha Man can watch his city burn. Without the astral pulse, that suit is worthless. I don’t care about him.”
The astral pulse.
If Chad could find it, then it could be the solution to his problems. If he could find it, he could fix everything.
