    Summary

    After the crew lands in Zumhara and the Wind Riders have headed into the city, Torse goes in search of somewhere he can process everything, away from prying eyes. He does not process very well, but he's trying.

    Maxwell experiences a perfectly justifiable level of mortal terror when he returns to find his friend missing, and overt declarations of lifelong devotion after 2 weeks of knowing each other is actually kind of a slow burn for Zood, okay?
    ----
    “Why would she...? Oh.” Maxwell stiffens, then blows out a breath. He reaches past Torse’s mantle to clasp his neck, tucks them firmly together, and rhythmically brushes thumb across his vulnerable nape. “Oh, Torse.”

    His friend’s comfort breaks the dam. “What drove her to save me, when she was comfortable condemning so many to destruction? What had she found worthy of salvation within me that she deemed the rest of my homeworld to be lacking? Why am I not taken apart in the Amphereon, or walking as one of the Naughtomata, or lining the throat of that vile beast?”

    Maxwell goes rigid.

    Summary

    Torse glances down at himself, and Maxwell is privy to the way his whole body tenses, muscles going corded under his skin.

    "Oh," Torse says, as if he's only just realizing that the body he's occupying isn't his usual one. "Well, fuck."

    Summary

    It starts—as most things on the Zephyr do—as a drunken bit.

    “Gotch.” Van says solemnly. Her flesh hand shoots out to grip his shoulder tightly. Her eyes burn into his skull. “I’m gonna be your dad.”

    Maxwell blinks. “What?”

    “Your father is an absolute arse, and if he doesn’t want you, I call dibs. I’m your new da.”

    Or: Longspot Gotch sucks. Van, ever the problem-solver, steps up.

    Summary

    Maxwell knew he shouldn’t take his focus off his own target, but his eyes instinctively sought Torse across the battlefield. They landed on him just in time to see a sword thrust perfectly through the iron ribs of his chest plate and heard the tip strike metal, the light leaving Torse in an instant as he fell inanimate with a loud clatter.

    (or: Caught in an ambush, Maxwell sees Torse go down and fucking loses it)
