    Summary

    Once it was clear that Rogers had nothing more to say, Tony sniffed somewhat disdainfully and leaned back just a smidge.

    Well, maybe two smidges.

    BJ gets hurt, somehow that changes the whole story, because ZYZ is the only one who really cares and looks after the boy and fights for him. That changes everything.

    Dick saw it happen too late.
    Tim’s staff swung toward Bruce’s ribs. Bruce turned to catch it, but Jason lunged at the same moment, tackling him sideways. Bruce lost footing near the edge of the platform stairs.
    “Bruce—!”

    Summary

    something something bruce offhandedly mentions being autistic and it's like a record scratches as his kids turn to him with expressions varying from "how the fuck did i not know" to "why the fuck did you not tell me." there's the beginnings of an argument because, well, it would've made communication a lot EASIER if they knew.

    Excerpt:
    "They called you autistic to your- Bruce, did no one do anything??" Dick asked. He was very aware of the kind of bullying a newly-orphaned kid might receive, but it had never been anything like that.

    "It was the 80s, they used the more outdated term. And they were right, so what was there to report?" Bruce shrugged.

    Summary

    They found Batman on a rooftop in the Bowery, staring at the sky as if waiting for the Bat-Signal, silent, without Robin or Batgirl nearby.

    You ruin everything you touch. You're cursed, Bruce, and if I don't do something, you'll bury more Robins for your crusade .

    He'd said those words, hadn't he? He'd been so blinded by rage that he didn't care about the pain he was causing—and he'd thought, what right did Bruce have to be hurt? It was his fault, he had to pay—that he didn't think about the consequences.

    Damian wasn't the type to be pushed aside, not even when his father asked him to. But maybe there wasn't much choice, especially if the CPS had already been involved by Oliver…

    “Batman…”

    Diana was the one who approached Batman first, her lasso glowing in her hand. “We are sorry.”

    A long pause. Then a dry, guttural sound escaped the Bat. A cruel chuckle, so full of rage it was waiting to spill out like a raging river.

    "Is that all? After all the shit you threw at him, you're coming after him with your tail between your legs?," the Bat said, angry and Clark's eyes widened.

    That wasn’t Bruce.

    Summary

    The evidence is undeniable.

    Bruce Wayne has done something unforgivable.

    At least, that’s what everyone believes.

    By the time the truth comes out, Bruce has already spent months alone, abandoned by the people he loves most.

    The Batfamily returns to Wayne Manor ready to apologize.

    They’re too late.

    Or: Bruce dies, everyone gets traumatized, and then Jason Todd has a terrible idea involving a Lazarus Pit.

    Summary

    Verso doesn’t bother knocking as he lets himself into Gustave’s workshop. He, the apprentices, Lune, Sciel, and Emma are the only ones allowed to bother Gustave when he's dans l’atelier with the door closed, as close to KEEP OUT as Gustave ever gets. It’s not a privilege Verso takes advantage of lightly, but the weather developing outside the Dome—weather that’s been brewing since before dawn—has him leaning on it now.

    Or: Verso helps Gustave forge through a migraine--he's something of an expert at it by now, and he's not sure what that says about him. (Just hurt/comfort and Verso having Verso feelings.)

    Summary

    With the Paintress and the rest of the Dessendre family out of the canvas, the threats to Lumiere, and the Dome were few and far between. Compared to before, where they had had to have an active deterrent committee in case some of the stronger Nevrons risked swimming across the sea, none of them would risk it now.

    However, that didn't protect them from the smaller Nevrons that could go from a nuisance to a true threat if they ended up banding together.

    Gustave took on Maelle's case because he believes in justice. He just didn't expect her to be more like him than he expected.

    Summary

    After Maelle's victory, Gustave is struggling to adjust. If it weren't so damn pathetic, it might even be funny: the broken engineer, unable to fix himself. But with Lumière in ruins, there is no time for self-pity. His people need him, and he won't let them down.

    Never again.

    Now if only Verso bloody Dessendre would stop accidentally falling asleep on his furniture…

    Or: Verso can't sleep unless Gustave is near. Somehow, it becomes Gustave's problem to solve — and the key to both their salvation. (Complete, updates twice a week)

    Summary

    "This feeling that all my thoughts and memories… that they’re not mine, that they’ve been put into my head by somebody else… does it ever go away?”

    It comes out almost pleadingly, the desperation Gustave tried to suppress for months now bleeding into his voice.

    Something softens in Verso’s expression.

    Or: the Maelle ending. Coming to terms with being brought back and repainted. Gustave is looking for some answers, so he goes to the one person who can provide them. Verso is absolutely done with this life, but feels obligated to at least talk to him.

    They find that being a copy of a dead man is less unbearable when you're not alone.

    Summary

    Gustave let go of a heavy sigh and nodded his head. Back in the Stone Wave Cliffs, he had come to peace that this was where his journey ended—For those who come after, right?—but it seemed like his story wasn't done just yet. Maelle had, somehow, given him another lease on life, and this time, he could live it. He could grow old. He could do things simply for the sake of doing them; every waking moment didn't have to be dedicated to trying to solve the issue with the Paintress, with preserving their civilization.

    --
    Or: Maelle returns Lumière to its former glory, but... things just seem a bit off. Gustave investigates.

    Summary

    When Gustave LaClaire moved back home to Lumiere, he hadn't intended on forming a "pen pal" relationship with a complete stranger. After responding to a vague letter with no discernible names though, he and the mysterious 'V' begin to exchange letters back and forth, forming a friendship over long distance. Gustave couldn't possibly be falling in love with someone he had never met, right?

    This is a 'Wrong Address' AU thought that would not leave my head.

    Summary

    He plays all the sharp, loud notes, he plays and plays until it bleeds, until it reverberates in his skull in a relentless cacophony. Until it echoes in the hall, up to the glass ceiling.

    A sharp movement in the audience catches his eye, beyond the halo of the stage light.

    At first he thinks it’s Maelle, that she’s spotted him doing something that she doesn’t like, doesn’t fit the perfect image of it in her head, but…

    It’s not Maelle.

    No, it’s Gustave.

    Gustave knows something's wrong with Lumiére. With himself. With Maelle. And he knows he'll find answers with the mysterious pianist. And Verso sees.

    Summary

    Gustave tried to remind himself that he actually enjoyed showing new people around the wildlife rehabilitation facility. Most of the times he did this, he was able to tell someone something new, and watch a spark light up in their eyes. It even happened with snooty rich people. Sometimes.
    That was how the three Dessendre siblings found him.
