    Summary

    'So as you can see, we have much to discuss', Clea said somewhere behind him. 'Let's - Verso!'

    Her sharp admonishment had barely taken form before his fingers had already reached right into the shimmering chroma and the atelier blurred before his eyes. His being lurched forward, pulled into the canvas with that familiar feeling of weightlessness, gravity shifting around him until it no longer connected him to the floor but to the painting in front of him. When his vision cleared, he found himself floating in the Between.

    In the back of his head, he heard Clea's exasperated sigh.

    --------------

    Verso Dessendre survives the writer's trap. When he returns home to find most of his family lost in his old canvas, he goes to save them. Meeting his doppelganger was unexpected.

    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.”
