    Summary

    Over ten years after he burned his canvases at the top of the Beaux-Arts de Paris and very publicly went off the rails, Verso Dessendre returns home, a prodigal son trailing rumors of a deeply private family grief. In those same years, Gustave LeClair has built an academic career restoring the aging bridges over the Seine, helping them bear the weight of both history and the humdrum day-to-day. If only he could do the same for his personal life.
    They meet. The confusion is mutual.

    Summary

    From the kinkmeme: AU Warlord!Geralt receives Tribute!Jaskier as a sacrifice to appease him in every way possible. Jaskier has no choice on the matter and he’s fully aware of the awful rumours that have spread about Geralt and his ruthless conquests. (But we all know those aren’t legit.) A classic angst with a happy ending please! A dash of smut to heal those scars and a sprinkle of new found love!

    Jaskier arrives at Kaer Morhen knowing his family gave him up without a second thought, and absolutely sure that the dreaded Warlord of the North will value him even less than his own blood did. But the White Wolf and his pack are not what Jaskier expected...and if he's unreasonably lucky, Kaer Morhen might become far more of a home than Lettenhove ever was.

    ...He is, in fact, going to be unreasonably lucky, because the Warlord of the North is a far finer monarch - and a far better man - than Redania's king has ever dreamed of being.

    Summary

    After Verso loses his family to a house fire, he takes up a position as lightkeeper in an attempt to flee from both his grief and the prying eyes of Parisian high society.

    Lumière is as sleepy as little towns come, and its folk are as kind and curious as one would expect. The lighthouse itself sits just out of town, on a little cliff jutting out from the coast of Bretagne. It’s an old place in a state of obvious disrepair, but thankfully the town’s engineer Gustave is as capable as he is handsome.

    The perfect place for Verso, even though the sea starts whispering to him in his family’s voices at night. Grief can do that to a man, he thinks.

    But when Gustave warns him not to listen to those that call for him in the darkness with a haunted look in his eyes, Verso realizes there is more at play in Lumière, and that his peaceful lightkeeper escape might turn out not to be so peaceful after all.

    Summary

    SPOILERS FOR THE GAME, LIKE SERIOUSLY

    Verso let Gustave die on those cliffs, but he couldn't bring himself leave him there.

    He should know that despite good intentions, his sentimentality has never ended well for him.

    This becomes even more evident to him as he watches the picto he contained Gustaves chroma in, dissolve into his skin.

    or

    Verso now has his own personal ghost- Gustave

    and Verso is the only one who can hear or see him
