Summary
La douleur exquise, they had begun to call it — “the exquisite pain.” Love, unrestrained, unrealized, with nowhere to go — transformed into a poison that slowly choked its victims upon their own desire. The feeling of wanting someone so badly you wanted to die from the agony, knowing that you will never, ever, be theirs — ceaselessly growing from within until the grief of wanting slowly chokes you and shreds you from within. The flower of death, fleur de mort, fertilized by yearning that will never bloom.
For Verso, it was a distant concept, worth less than a passing daydream. At least, until the first blood-stained petals fell from his lips in a shadowed alleyway of Lumière, stinging and biting at his throat on its hacking way out.

Summary
Verso fully intended for Gustave to die at Renoir’s hand. He'd been hoping and planning for this while stalking them across the Continent, crafting ideas on how to insert himself into the empty space left behind, using the man's death as kindling to instill a burning drive in Alicia to force their mother out of the Canvas at long last. This had been his single-minded goal from the beginning of Expedition 33's doomed journey. Everything hinged upon on this one moment, this small sacrifice in a long line of expedition martyrs.
But somehow, despite all of his meticulous planning, he didn't take into account the possibility that the man could be his Alpha.

Sometimes Katsuki Bakugou wakes up with tears drying on his face, his heart a tangled mess of emotions he cannot even begin to unravel.
It's fucking annoying.

Summary
Sometimes there is an angry, raging inferno under his skin. All that rage needs to go somewhere or it's going to burn him up from the inside out. That's the thing about a forest fire; it leaves nothing but ash and the bones of what used to be in its wake.
Verso is having a no good very bad string of days and he's been left to simmer in his anger for a little too long. All that pressure has to explode sometime.

Summary
“Of course, you are more than welcome here, for as long as you’d like.” is Emma’s instant and smooth reply, delivered with an effortless aplomb that is well-suited to her Chief Councilor role; there’s no hiding the sharpness of her eyes, however, that intelligent glint that speaks of veiled suspicion and careful calculations. “Any friend of Maelle is a friend of ours.”
As expected, Maelle is more than ecstatic by Emma’s easy acceptance, but her mood quickly plummets when she spots Gustave’s less-than-thrilled expression: if looks could kill, Verso is pretty sure he would be lying in a pool of his own blood by now, but after some uncomfortable staring the man just scoffs and looks quickly on the side, cheeks flushed by what Verso can only presume is a good dose of barely repressed anger. “...Sure, whatever. If that’s what Maelle wants.”
(After making a promise to each other at the Canvas' edge, Maelle restores Lumiére to its former splendor, and Verso tries to live his life in it as simply and unobtrusively as possible.
Too bad that Gustave absolutely hates Verso's guts, and Verso's blossoming feelings for Gustave are of a complete opposite nature.)
