Summary
Gustave tried to remind himself that he actually enjoyed showing new people around the wildlife rehabilitation facility. Most of the times he did this, he was able to tell someone something new, and watch a spark light up in their eyes. It even happened with snooty rich people. Sometimes.
That was how the three Dessendre siblings found him.

Summary
Maelle brings Verso back to Lumière in a catatonic state, unresponsive and unwilling to let himself live. While she has no greater wish than for him to happily live out the rest of his years as a mortal man, she can't trust him with mortality until she's sure he's found his will to live—and he can't exactly do that if he sleeps every day away until his inevitable death by starvation.
Gustave, wary of the man who was prepared to enact their world's erasure, is less than enthused about the idea of attempting to wake him; but with no one else seeing any success, and with Maelle's emotional well-being on the line, he has no choice but to try.

Summary
The Dessendre family has ruled over Paris' criminal underground for as long as Gustave can remember. Murder, theft, trafficking, there is no crime they haven't committed, yet their wealth and influence has allowed them to walk free for generations. For Gustave and his allies, taking down the family's matriarch, Aline Dessendre, is the only way to free Paris from villainy.
Unfortunately for him, fighting the Paintress comes with many unexpected challenges, including foiling the plans of the elusive thief Visages, and getting into a fake relationship with Aline's only son, Verso.
An Enemies to Lovers story in which Gustave is a vigilante with a stalking problem and the Dessendres are supervillains.

Summary
One quiet winter afternoon, a strangely-dressed man with an aureole over his head falls out of the sky.
Or: Verso thought that it would all end after he expelled Maelle from the Canvas and put the Soul Fragment to rest. Fate seems to have other ideas. Finding himself somewhere else entirely, he has to deal with the unbearable chains of life weighing on him once more.

Summary
encordés (French, mountaineering, plural): roped together; tied to a partner on the same rope, so that if one of you falls, the other can hold the line.
Gustave is an experienced climber. When a route in the French Alps goes wrong, he expects broken bones and weeks of gruesome recovery. What he does not expect is, instead, to fall, slowly and catastrophically, for the unfairly attractive mountain rescuer who keeps visiting his hospital room.
But Verso carries his own scars, and Gustave has learned the hard way that being wanted means hiding the parts of himself that are broken, and that leaving first hurts less than being left behind.
This is a story about concussed flirting, scars and second chances, about being seen completely — and two stubborn idiots learning that the rope works in both directions.
