Summary
“Yes, Verso, for the -what? third time now?- yeah, for the third time. I do want us to remain together. Is that so crazy to hear-”
But he cut himself off when he saw Verso move his hand away from the pillow, which was clenched around something. He opened his hand, revealing what was inside.
Gustave's eyes widened and he felt his breathing growing labourious. “Is that-”
Verso nodded shakily. “Yeah.”

Summary
"I'm leaving Paris," Verso says brusquely, by way of a greeting. He has never been very good with words; that has always been Papa's strength, not his.Gustave inhales sharply, watching him in silence, his hands clutching his notebook so hard the spine begins to twist.
"You want me to come with you," he says finally, looking at Verso as though he has entirely lost his mind.
Or:
Time is running out. With war looming over Belle Epoque Paris, Verso must make a choice between his duty to his family and the young Writer who has unknowingly stolen his heart.
He chooses Gustave.

Summary
Verso doesn't mind being alone.
Even with two sisters, he'd grown up an only child. Boys don't play with girls, after all, and the Dessendre heir doesn't play at all. That's a fact of life, one he's learned early on not to question, lest the back of his father's strong hand find itself a new home against his soft cheek.
He's always been a quick study.
Or: Verso has been lonely for so long, he's forgotten how to be anything else. Gustave sets out to change that.

Safe In My Hands by porgthespacepenguin

Summary
The first time it happens, it's a complete accident. The times after that, well... not so much.
When the line between chance and choice begins to blur, Gustave must decide if he trusts Verso enough to put his life — and his heart — in his hands.
Again, and again, and again.
Or: Five times Verso takes Gustave's hand to protect him, from the world as well as from himself — and one time Gustave returns the favor.

protect me (from what I want) by porgthespacepenguin

Summary
He wants, and yet he doesn't know quite what he wants, not anymore. Only that whatever it is, he can never have it.
He closes his eyes briefly, letting out a soft, exhausted breath. Then, knowing he isn't needed anymore, and keenly aware that he was never wanted in the first place, he turns on his heel and leaves, heading for the Harbor.
Or: Post-game, Maelle restores Lumière and her inhabitants before her departure from the Canvas — Sophie among them. Verso takes it as well as can be expected (that is to say, not well at all).
