Chapters: 1/3 Fandom: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Video Game) Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Original Verso Dessendre/Julie Characters: Original Verso Dessendre, Julie (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33), Louise (Clair Obscur: Expedition 33), Clea Dessendre Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Original Verso Dessendre Lives, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Eventual Smut, drunk!Verso, bartender!julie, bouncer!Simon, Alicia cameo, so much bar jargon, Metaphors, Post-Fire, some parallels with expedition zero Summary:
He seems comfortable enough sitting with his thoughts that he's not using the wine to get out of his own head, at the very least. Maybe he's just lonely. Verso does like talking, and entertains himself by climbing into her head when she's free enough to make merry. Julie is… strangely unbothered by that part of their routine.
The part that does bother her is the meta aspect: the routine itself.
Verso is there every night.

AKA Julie eases Verso off the slippery slope of drinking to forget his past.
A thank you to the lovely people at the Doomed Lovers Versulie discord server for inspiring this and brainstorming with me, most of all @asaara-writes for planting the fic idea in my head in the first place. Also to @perduxamour for allowing me to make use of sweet baby Miette as a cameo <3
