he held onto you with a desperate strength by Dansnotavampire

Summary
You are falling. You do not expect to make it out of this - you do not deserve to make it out of this, you've ruined everything, you wretch, you ruin, you warmonger.
But there is something you must say, as you see Maxwell Gotch barrel towards you, an avenging angel, wingsuit spread, breaching the gap between worlds to chase you. You do not deserve his care. You do not deserve him. You are going to fall to your death, and you cannot make yourself into someone who is good enough for him, not with this heart, so easily overtaken.
“I always considered you a friend, Maxwell,” you say. You have to say it, say something, use your last words to try and convey an iota of how deep your affections for him lie. He may have been your first real friend, the closest thing to your gold-metal heart. You are going to die, here, in the space between worlds, and he will at least have known that you cared.
Talons come around you. Straka. Everything goes black, and the last of the Aganti Zernai is gone.

Summary
“Oh, I know this one!” Olethra exclaims. She leans over to the storybook, tapping upon the inscription of the flaxen haired maiden and the Guardians bristle. She doesn’t even seem to notice. “The prince scales her tower and whisks her away from the evil witch.”
Marya scoffs a little, her eyebrows raised in rare amusement. “Not in Scrapsylvania he doesn’t. He falls from the tower and is blinded, it’s only when they reunite and she weeps upon him that his sight is restored.”
“True Love’s kiss heals ‘im in The Uplands.”
“Isn’t that Sleeping Beauty?”
“Nah. My aunt read it to me all the time as a young lass, was absolutely—“
“It’s a load of nonsense either way,” Max interrupts, his tone harsher intended. He doesn’t know why this place has him so irked. “I mean, getting whisked away by a prince who just happened to stumble upon your tower? It’s unrealistic. And True Love’s kiss? They hardly know each other. And they don’t know each other in Sleeping Beauty.”
or: The Wind Riders stumble upon a town in Zood dedicated to old Gathian fairytales. They don’t expect one of their own to start living in one.

Summary
This isn’t the first time Maxwell Gotch has been pinned to the ground by Torse. This is the first time it’s scared him, though.
Even during their sparring matches, where neither would concede, where they both gave as good as they got, he never found himself in fear of the other. Even when Torse’s knife-like arms would press against his skin, even when he would bleed through his hand wrapping to land a hit, even when Torse’s punches would shatter the wood of the ship—if anything, these things thrilled Max, as mortifying it was to admit.
Now, as the sharp edge of Torse’s bladed knuckles crash sharply against his cheek, his own blood splattering onto the scrap that made up the floor, he finds that the thrill has something more skittish hiding in its undercurrent.
or: To buy his crew time, Maxwell must fight one of the Queen of Zern’s greatest warriors to the death. It just so happens to be Torse he’s up against.

Summary
“What does this feel like?” he asked.
“Like being made again,” Torse sighed, sinking onto the chest beneath him, the corner of his pelvic plate scratching against painted wood. “Being forged with careful attention.”

BIG SPOILERS FOR CLOUDWARD HO! EP 14!!!
It's good to know that people still have your back. Especially after a confrontation with a person Monty didn't really believe he would see ever again.

Summary
On her own, Van never would’ve gone down to bloody Katur. She would’ve spent a pleasant evening with Bert in the hot tub, maybe helped him whip up a flight or two of aioli, and watched the nut pigs roll ‘round on deck. Even with Wealwell and Freyja onboard, she thinks it wouldn’t’ve been a half-bad way to spend a night. Instead, she’s here dropping things ‘cross the floor ‘cause she’s lost five fingers in one go.
She doesn’t recognise her reflection anymore. It’s like every time she sees herself, something is different—her eyes are darker, she’s rimmed in shadow, her blummin’ arm is gone. Something is happening to her, something far beyond her grasp. Everything Van’s known about herself, her family, her curse—all of it’s out the window now. The worst part is how good it feels.
on the freedom of becoming something you don't recognise.

Summary
Monty is an artist at heart and likes to draw. Not just all these fascinating animals but also his family and friends. When the crew of Zephyr expands, it's only natural he would draw Olethra and Maxwell too.
(and Maxwell is very normal about it)

Summary
Van watches Max strain against Marya’s grasp, his face turning red with effort, the tendons in his neck jumping out. “I will never. Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!” His pleas get increasingly frantic, sweat beading along his hairline, breath quickening. Van feels hers speed up along with it.
“Oh-kay, he really does refuse to submit,” Marya sing-songs, releasing him and standing up in one swift movement. Like it was never there, her manic grin vanishes, replaced by something much more approachable. Van feels the loss in her stomach. “I thought that might get him.”
The tonal whiplash is stunning. Van’s still reeling, images of Marya’s gloved hands in Gotch’s hair imprinted on the back of her eyelids every time she blinks. Her grip on Max’s ankles loosens just slightly, and he pulls them free.
answering the age-old question: fellas, is it gay to tackle a man at the exact same time as your captain?

Summary
“Miryam, darling, you’re brooding again and it’s really lowering the mood of the whole ship,” Wealwell said as he nudged her shoulder with his. He leaned against the railing next to her.
“Do you think there’s nothing to brood about? With everything that’s going on? That’s your brother down there, Wealwell. Is that not worth a little brooding?”
He hummed contemplatively.
“Yes, that is in fact my brother down there. Which means that brooding is the worst thing I can do. In fact, I would like to be doing the opposite of brooding, which would be not thinking about my brother on a dangerous underwater mission. And yet here you are, brooding, which is making me think about that. Do you see the problem?”
She sighed. Looking at it from his perspective… Wealwell seemed like a silly man, but she knew he was more than that. If he wanted some distraction, who was she to deny him that? He was her friend, she could support him.
“You’re the problem,” she joked, bumping shoulders with him again. “Alright, then, what are we doing if we’re not brooding?”
“Have you ever played King’s Cup?”

Miryam learns the ... joys (?) of drinking games.

Summary
It had been a strange thing, discovering that automata had quite human-like fingers. They curled into fists the same way Maxwell’s did, and his palms were similarly creased if only because it consisted of three different sheets of metal welded together. But there was something about the way Torse moved, his fingers delicately holding the flower stem, the way he twisted his wrist as he studied it from all angles, that made Maxwell wonder if perhaps his hands would feel warm if not soft—if they were human-like there too.
If so, the only difference would be that Torse’s wrists were permanent gauntlets with three foot-long blades sticking out. That fact rendered this entire thought exercise pointless, he supposed.

Summary
It was a simple affair. Nothing more than a reason to get drunk, really. They’d signed the papers already, so it would just be a party for the people closest to them.
Or: Daisuke and Comfrey get married.

Summary
Who was he to argue with facts? With Torse?
Torse, the metal man with a wind-up heart, who was standing on the deck of his ship. Torse, who was still absolutely caked in gore and viscera from the shoulders down, and Maxwell, whose priorities just shifted so fast he nearly gave himself whiplash.

Summary
Maxwell felt…strange.
Not bad, necessarily. As far as he could tell, he wasn’t in any pain. But he didn’t feel particularly good, either.
Mostly he just felt a whole lot of…nothing.
That in itself wasn’t strange. Maxwell would be remiss to call himself an emotional man. He was a passionate one, however, and typically this time after a fight would be spent mentally going over each second of battle, relishing in the spiderwebs of pain that still stretched over his cracked knuckles.
But now? Now he wasn’t even positive that the hands he was looking at belonged to him.
It was all just very…strange.
Or: Maxwell (doesn't) deal with his newfound bloodlust. Van helps.

Exactly what the title says. Maxwell Gotch acquires an infant. The crew of the Zephyr is hilariously unhelpful.

Summary
"Everybody falls in love with Pappy, but it takes a special kind of person to get him to fall back. Fortunately, he’s never had to look very far. Monty’s always been right there. Unfortunately, these things don’t always have a way of working out.
Well, there’s always better luck next time.”
The two times Monty fell in love with Pappy, and the two times Daisuke loved him right back.

Summary
“You're gone.”
“Then why am I here?”
His fingers itched for a trigger or a bottle. Daisuke wasn't sure which.
“‘cause I'm a damn fool.”(Even though Comfrey's not around, Daisuke can't stop talking to her)

“Well that’s the rub innit?” Van says, “You just gotta try again.”
Or: Tied to an altar, Van speaks to God (she thinks. She’s a little confused)

Summary
She had warned him this would happen. She had warned him in her wedding vows.
“...and I'll love you from the depths of the ocean all the way up to the sky.”
To the sky, but not above. Because Comfrey MacLeod’s first and truest love was the endless blue that robbed you of breath and warmth of your blood the more it embraced you.
Daisuke knew that when he married her. He thought he was fine with that.
(He wasn't.)

Summary
“Look, Marya. You, frankly, look like shit. You need to sleep before you crash the ship on accident, not like the, albeit very cool, maneuver yesterday. And I don’t want that to happen, because I care about you. I don’t want you to burn yourself into the ground just because you love the sky.”
Marya took that in.
“Can you… stay?” she asked weakly.
“Yeah. Yes, I can.”or, 4 times marya junková and van chapman slept in the same bed and one time they talked about it
