    Summary

    Verso's smile widened, and Gustave knew with crystal clarity that the universe had a sick sense of humor. His Friday night blues had just become his Monday morning colleague.

    "We've met," Verso said easily, still watching Gustave with those piercing eyes. "Haven't we, Gustave?"

    The claim of his full name landed in Gustave’s gut like a stone, heavy and cold, followed by the slow bloom of heat at his throat where the kisses still ached.

     He was so, so fucked.

    Or: they say when you love a character so much you'd inevitably write them taking it up the ass

    Summary

    The girl’s shoulders hunch again. An expression is battling on her face. Guilt again, and fear, and shame. And then faintly, in the soft turn of her cheek, commiseration. She watches Gustave for a long, sad moment, and then turns to a new page in the notepad. She starts writing something, and then stops, glancing furtively at Gustave before scribbling it out. On a new line she instead writes in big bold letters:

    Maelle.

     

    OR

     

    Gustave is the local mechanic of Lumiere, an idyllic coastal village far away from the chaos and conflict of Paris. Struggling with his recent injury and the loss of a good friend, he's not quite prepared when a family moves into the abandoned Manor on the edge of town.

    He's definitely not prepared for their children.

    Summary

    He looked up and rested his cheek on his palm while Mrs. Baird told everyone to quiet down so that she could speak. She started in on explaining over the remaining murmurs that this wasn’t a joyride they were going on; it was a trip for education.

    Peter extricated his notebook from under his textbook and set it on top of the slip.

    He wasn’t going.

    (Peter goes on a field trip. But not one he expects.)

    Summary

    The Ox squinted at Wade.
    “Who’re you?” he asked.
    Wade had half a mind to be an asshole but caught himself. He got the feeling that he was standing in the presence of Grandpa. He had an impression to make.
    “The name’s Wade Wil—”
    “Ah. Deadpool,” Grandpa translated immediately. “Ya talk like an asshole. Get outta here, Canadian.”

    (Wade meets Matt's Gym Family. They make an impression on each other.)

    Summary

    In 1428, Heinrich Capon returns home for an unexpected funeral. His plan is simple: appear, fulfill his duty, and leave again before the past can touch him.
    But the longer he stays, the more the cracks in the stories he was raised on begin to show.

    What starts as an obligation becomes a reckoning, forcing Heinrich to confront the possibility that the past was never what he thought it to be... or not even actually finished.
