"𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐈 𝐀 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐒 𝐒𝐔𝐈𝐒"
the unholy #verstave AU is out on AO3 archiveofourown.org/works/824478...
Verso Dessendre, a bohemian Parisian painter in search of a cure for his melancholia and acedia and Father Noah, the respected and willing, yet mysterious, priest of the village of Lumière
Art of a sparring scene between Gustave and Verso. Gustave has removed his mechanic arm, fighting with only his right arm. Verso is pinned down under Gustave, who his holding Verso's arm back and against his own chest, his leg planted on the other side of Verso, and his knee firmly keeping Verso's head to the ground, where he is still struggling and straining. There are two speechbubbles, one from Verso that reads "BORDEL!!" and one from Gustave that reads "So, still think i was beating your ass thanks to my cheating arm ?"
Mandatory sparring scene. This. This is The Thing that started the whole AU.

He really did look pitiful like this. Gaunt, frail. Atrophied. Hardly the strong man he might have otherwise remained, if he'd dedicated himself to anything other than dying again and again. Not that Gustave had any suggestions as to how else he might spend his time, when he still knew so little about him. Or did he? Verso was immortal. Verso was a liar. Verso was a swordsman, a dual-wielder. Verso was a musician. Verso was an artist. Verso liked dogs, and swimming, and the smell of fresh bread. Verso loved his sister. Verso bore many regrets, and many more secrets. Verso was kind, and cruel, and callous, and sweet, and so very handsome and charming. But all of that knowledge was secondhand. Gustave had never been given the chance to interact with the man himself. He'd only ever heard stories, and not all of those stories were necessarily true. It left Gustave to only speculate as to the depths of the man's many mysteries.
"But you can," Gustave argued, maybe a bit more passionately than he'd intended. "You can and you have. I-I mean, I know we haven't known each other all that long, but I like you. I... I like you a lot." And there was plenty to like. Verso was thoughtful. Verso was empathic. Verso was a brother, a son. Verso was an inventor. Verso was an artist. Verso liked dogs, and slow walks through the city, and the taste of freshly-baked bread. Verso loved his sister. Verso bore many regrets, and many more secrets. Verso was kind, and cruel, and callous, and sweet, and so very handsome and charming. And Gustave knew all of it, firsthand.
something i really like doing in my writing is throwing in little call-backs like this. these passages are from chapters 2 and 4 of #tbhbom. i hope some of our readers took notice. #verstave
I'm a little late to join in the #verstave, but here I am. Did I use that scene from Romeo and Juliet with the fish tank? Yes I did. I can just hear Caribbean Blue from Enya playing in the background.
Hey everyone! I’m back and with something special to announce:
another collaboration with HairyEcaballium for a new #verstave fanfiction:
“Tergiversi a praeteritis suis – those who fled from their past”
Some of you may have already read something about it… it will be posted on AO3 soon 😏

Cropped work-in-progress line drawing of Gustave and Verso from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 pressing brow to brow, eyes closed. They are nude. Verso has one hand on the back of Gustave's neck while the other appears to be reaching down between them. Gustave has both his hands at the sides of Verso's neck, buried in his hair.

Verso's rehabilitation continues - but he isn't expecting the latest roadblock, or the heartbreak it brings.

Yesterday, I took the boys on a day trip to the Philly Flower Show. ☺️
I love plants and flowers so much, it was so fun. There was also a butterfly room so I got to play with bugs too! I also love seeing peoples' entered competition plants.

Movie poster for the Expedition 33 Pacific Rim alternate universe. It looks like one of the pacific rim movie poster. The title reads "Dérive" (french word for Drift). We can see a Jaeger bust, and in front of it, a catwalk, with Gustave and Verso on it. You can see how small they are compared to the jaeger. Verso is leaning forward, his elbows on the railing, as if he were watching the Jaeger, but his head is turned towards Gustave. Gustave also looking at verso; he is sitting on the edge of the catwalk, one leg dangling over the edge, the other drawn up towards him, relaxed. They were both smiling and seemed to be in the middle of a conversation.
[Today, we are canceling the apocalypse. Tomorrow comes.]
Had tons of fun making a movie poster for this story. #E33PacificRimAU #Expedition33 #verstave

Also, I have put some up on my shop. I do not have many currently, since I really only wanted them for myself lmfao, but I'm thinkin' about ordering more.
