    Summary

    Grace and Rocky are on their way to Erid when they encounter a strange terrestrial vessel that has somehow made its way to space. The single occupant is alive and Grace and Rocky rescue him, but they are then faced with the challenge of gaining this stranger's trust and dealing with the contamination he brought with him.

    *slaps roof of fic* This bad boy can fit so many near-death experiences in it! But also friendship! And fucking (eventually)!

    ***

    "What do you WANT?"

    “I just want you to live!” Grace threw up his hands in exasperation “Is that so wrong? Is that so hard to believe?!—” he lowered his hands and quieted his voice. It took enormous effort. “I just want you to stay alive, and I need you to just sit still so you don’t die.”

    The man’s expression dissolved from roiling rage to bafflement. There was something else too though. Grace could see cogs spinning behind the man’s eyes. Something about that answer had stuck.

    There's one thing he keeps coming back to - over and over again.

    Gustave's hair.

    Summary

    It doesn't matter. No matter the story, Verso has a chance to die still being of use.

    He'll provoke him into a fight. Try and kill him, as hopeless as the notion may be. If he wins, a 'monster' is no longer haunting this place. If he loses, then the vampire will feed on him. Then he'll be nothing.

    He wants to lose. Being a free meal is better than living.

    OR

    Verso, the last Dessendre, goes to find the resident vampire in Lumiere's woods with some elaborate suicide mission. He doesn't expect the vampire to take him to his home instead. He doesn't expect to fall in love either.

    Summary

    thermal conductivity (n.) — the rate at which heat passes through a material; the tendency of two bodies in contact to trade warmth until they settle at the same temperature.

    Verso saved Gustave's life at the Stonewave Cliffs and still won't admit why (not even to himself). Now it's freezing, Gustave is too stubborn to say he's cold, and Verso has been quietly, hopelessly gone for him for longer than he'll ever confess.

    Or: there was only one blanket.

    Summary

    ”En gardé, monsieur!”

    Verso has a second to register it before he realizes he’s being cornered by three, very serious children. Gustave’s apprentices, to be more precise. Not the threat he first would’ve thought of, but there you go.

    ”What are your intentions towards Gustave?”

    In which the apprentices have had enough of Verso & Gustave’s pining and confront Verso. They might also recruit some help while they're at it, and Verso suffers.
