Une Vie à Coudre by QueenieWithABeenie
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)

Summary
This was how all things began.
Verso ambled about his morning, moving all-too mechanically. The melody persisted. His weight shifted from one leg to the other in a pantomime of dancing, even when he stood still. His chroma -not quite his own, not quite “Verso”’s- shifted as well. Eventually, he would be made to leave the confines of his sanctuary. Eventually, he would be made once again to don the mask of a man overcome with bliss at the chance to finally fulfill his dreams and perform his craft.
Eventually was inevitable.

Summary
Neither of them wants to fall for the other. It’s foolish, downright hazardous – and absolutely unavoidable. In the beginning, their meetings are all cutting words, fiery dances, and lies upon lies. But as the masks between them start to fall, the loneliness they share grows into something more.
He refuses to acknowledge the danger their relationship puts them in until it’s too late. Until the flames come for him.
She knows well that their star-crossed affair will ultimately end in disaster, but she takes the risk anyway. She fights her feelings, defying them – to no avail.
Love, after all, cannot be controlled. It drives the heart to make impossible choices. To trespass into the enemy’s most sacred place. To put life and soul on the line in a last, desperate attempt at redemption.

Summary
Love is choosing each version of each other, over and over again. Across distance, across time, across canvases and painted worlds.
Even when one is gone.
Even when memory is wrenched away.
It's engraved on her heart, stitched through the fabric of her soul - Verso Dessandre will be her undoing, every single time.

Une Vie à Créer - A Life to Create by HelleyDogar
Fandoms: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game)
20 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Have you ever wondered what life in Lumière was really like before, during, and after the Fracture?
Honestly… same.So I took a chance, let my imagination run free, and followed it wherever it wanted to go. Until Sandfall gives us an official version (if they ever do), this is mine.
Une Vie à Créer is a slow burn story following an original character living within the painted world Aline created — a world where no one knows they are made of pigment. Long before the Fracture, she crosses paths with Verso. What begins as quiet curiosity slowly, patiently grows into something deeper. Their connection unfolds through small moments, shared silences, everyday life, and the unseen corners of Lumière we never get to explore in the game.
Then the Fracture happens.
Everything changes.In the aftermath, as the world lies in pieces, the first foundations of Expedition 0 begin to take shape — a group driven by one question: what happened?

Summary
It's been months since the expedition left her cottage, and nothing has changed for The Writer. Verso had promised her that he would create a different tomorrow - and yet there had been nothing but sunrise after sunrise accompanied by deafening silence. It was too much of too little. If Verso couldn't make good on his promise, then The Writer was left with no choice but to find him and make her own tomorrow.

Summary
Captains did not get to be sick, they did not get to sob, and they did not get to admit to their sinking fear that every single person they lead on this Expedition would be dead long before the Gommage had its chance with them.
~~~
Ines Chevalier captains Expedition 33: she is bright, hopeful, and duty-bound to destroy the Paintress. Verso Dessendre is the broken shadow of a man, painted from a family’s grief. He doesn’t die, doesn’t age, and doesn’t quite tell the truth. Despite being on opposing sides of an endless war, their relationship blooms into something that could alter the Canvas irreversibly.

The Weight of Disaster by Brookemuffin

Tags
Summary
Having a basically immortal man helping the rest of Expedition 33 to the Monolith sounds like a piece of cake. Though the enemies along the way are less of a threat to you with the grief, half-truths, close to death mishaps, and distrust that looms over. What was suppose to be a simple closeness to Verso after he offered to help, slowly turned into something you both weren't ready for, but the pull towards eachother might be the final weight that topples you both over the edge to disaster.

Summary
"My nightmares are always the same. I am faced with a burning house–my dress torn and charred and my lungs heavy with smoke. I see a man with dark hair and a soft smile being engulfed in flames. I see a woman with long hair, her face wracked with anger and sorrow. People scream and shout, fighting with one another. Then, I’m floating in darkness against an eclipsed ball of light…and I wake. Inconsolable grief grips my heart when I wake from this nightmare, but the grief fades when I remember it was only a dream."
Josephine, plagued by cryptic nightmares, is ready for her expedition to stop the Paintress, armed with her chroma-etched violin. After a failed start to the Expedition, she is met with many unexpected challenges and unravels the mysteries of a previous life...and love.

Summary
“What do you mean?” She asked, eyebrows furrowing, a crease formed in the middle of them.
Clea opened the notebook and flipped through the pages, and without looking up, responded to Camille’s question. “Mother painted herself a copy of Verso, not the real one, obviously, his body is still in the ground, but a version of him is in the painting.”
Camille exhaled a sharp breath, making almost an animalistic sound that made Clea look right at her and step forward. She tilted her head and grabbed her forearm. “No.” She stated, coldly. “I can’t have you jumping into their delusions of grandeur. I need you here.”
