I would like to write something properly long and plotty for Tobias/Gabin, but that'll have to wait until I've thought of a plot and got more of a handle on characterisation. In the meantime:

Tobias finally finds a satisfactory Parisian pillow.

I've been enjoying reading through the tag, so have some fic recs:

This is so to my taste: Tobias/Gabin fic from Geneviève's POV, chaotic in just the right way, with loads of great details and a perfect ending:

Summary:

She frowns and sets down her glass. “But surely you can’t think that he would just forget about you?”

Gabin shrugs and looks away.

“But you’re his –“ She gestures. “His person. His muse. Even Marie Claire says so.”

She picks up the most recent issue of the magazine that landed on her desk a couple of days ago and flips it open to the first page of the feature about Tobias and Gabin. “Le génie et son muse,” she reads out loud. “See? Those pictures came out great, by the way.”

This one lives up to its summary brilliantly:

Summary:

This is essentially just shameless smut picking up where the show leaves off with Tobias and Gabin kissing on stage. Featuring Gabin's obvious praise kink and Tobias' bizarre (yet effective) form of dirty talk.

"Gabin is good at sex, good at getting what he wants and leaving his partners wanting more, but he is putty in Tobias’ hands, as eager to follow him here as he is in the rehearsal room."

And a beautifully-written Jack/Geneviève fic that develops their backstory really well:

Jack isn't the only one who's thought about it.

I've also been listening to the soundtrack via the very helpful official Spotify playlist. It's a great variety and lots of fun! Here are some of my favourites of the songs:

Watch on YouTube

Optimist by Zoë Keating—for some reason this says it's blocked when I embed the video but it works fine on Youtube itself? You'll just have to click through—it's a lovely cello piece.
