Summary
Perhaps it was the Zood Switcheroo, reaching back through the Calefactory Biangle and befrumpled time. Perhaps it was another inexplicable phenomenon that, if they had known of it, they would have given an equally inexplicable name.
As it is, Torse (a step out of time since birth, a warrior in a family of alleged gentlemen, a lonely soul with not much to lose) pushes through the doors of Ramansu temple with the Wind Riders at his heels.
Among the chaos and eviscerated bankers, they find another one made of clockwork, a clue tucked in the recesses of his metal mind.
If the trail of Comfrey MacLeod is made of stolen memory cards and impending financial ruin, then they are honour-bound to follow it. And if there is more to Max than meets the eye, then Torse is all too eager to heed the call to adventure. -

Summary
After the events of Outward Passed Beyond, Torse and Maxwell meet after six months apart. But it's not what either of them were hoping for.
The story doesn't end at a parade for the victims of tyranny. There's work to be done in Zern, and some are all too eager to take advantage.
Most movements don't die with a flashy explosion, sometimes its more like the heat death of the universe.

Summary
Straka recharges its All-Consuming Industry at the worst possible time, and Torse is left to realize that his history has been drastically impacted by this very battle.
It’s no wonder Her Majesty’s favorite advisors look so familiar to him. If only he realized it sooner…

Summary
No one had ever accused Maxwell Gotch of having particularly good luck. On the contrary, in fact.
Case and point; Olethra was out exploring Zumhara and flirting with Ludmila, while Maxwell was down for the count in his quarters.
Just his luck.

Summary
“D’you want a second helping of that?”
Bert considers Marya openly as she scarfs down her stew like a woman starving. She looks different like this, softer. More open, or at the very least more obvious about how closed off she is. There’s grease scuffed across one cheek and something dark under her fingernails. Her spoon clatters loudly, her gulps echoing in the relative silence of the galley. She lowers her bowl from her mouth, eyes lifting to appraise him over its rim. She says nothing.
or: a comprehensive* guide to the care & keeping of your pet stowaway.

Summary
Hosting a gala at the end of the world would not have been Maxwell’s first priority. In fact, it would not have made his to-do list at all.
Or, Maxwell finds Marya sitting out the Zumharan ball, and asks her to dance anyway.

Summary
He remembers the gold of Torse’s heart on his hands tearing open Hatwell’s smug fucking face.
He remembers Wealwell, as solid as ever, spinning a perfect arabesque to kick Johnwell in the teeth.
It's all there in his memory, but it feels… distant, echoey.
Maxwell feels distant.After everything, Maxwell breaks, just a little.

Summary
“Not very serious,” he repeats, fuming, incredulous. “Oh, bullshit! What the hell, Torse?” He levels an accusatory finger, silently thankful that no tremor betrays him. “What’s with all of this, then?”
“Nothing is with all of anything.” Torse keeps his hands hovering close to him. Silently trying to weigh if the reward of properly pushing him back into resting is worth the risk of potentially injuring him further, if Maxwell had to guess. “These are… what I understand you would call ‘flesh wounds’.”
Maxwell’s pretty sure his idea of a flesh wound may not be the best basis to start from. Not that he can, or will, ever admit as much to Torse. “Your ribs are bent back!”
“And yours are bruised.”

The crew ends up in a particularly rough fight. Maxwell meets his match in avoiding recovery.Series

Summary
Maxwell has been gifted a second chance at life with the mechanical man he loves. But it's not easy to recover from the Queen's mind control and an impromptu heart transplant.
What do you do when you suddenly become more machine than man, when man is all you've ever known?
~ ~ ~
This is heavily inspired by Duck_Life's fic, everything's made to be broken. I'd recommend reading it first, and this does contain spoilers for it!

Summary
Maxwell is nine years old. He has been invited to see the launch of the Zephyr, the world's first normal air balloon. He thought he would be the youngest person there by some way, as he is in all rooms, but he is mistaken. Wonderfully mistaken.

Summary
“Torse,” sighs the bosun, a flicker of frustration in her eyes. “You have to let us help him.”
He should let them help. He can’t help Maxwell, he’s not built for helping, he’s built to destroy, to shatter bones and rend metal and and and…
And Maxwell is dying in his arms. -

Summary
Olethra was right when she said the Amphemereon was abandoned. The halls of the Corrodi are coated in a film of dust, disturbed only by the footprints of the crew of the Zephyr, but he feels uncomfortable regardless. His iron heart is only exacerbating the issue, the contempt he holds for the Corrodi strengthening that pit of fear forming at the back of his chest, the grief as he remembers the destruction of his comrades. How many of their parts were used in this place’s construction? Does he stand, even now, on the corpses of his brethren?

Summary
The giant mech from the foundry is a godsend. At least, Maxwell thinks it is, until he realises that this tiny cockpit has to house all of them through Zern. The close quarters, the dark night, Torse pressed against him... he can't help himself.

Summary
Look. Pretending him and Torse were engaged had just seemed like the best idea at the time. And in both of their defence: Marya had been the one to accept the offer.
(Torse and Maxwell pretend to be betrothed so that Maxwell doesn't have to marry some duke's daughter. Things escalate.)

Summary
'I love you.'
There were moments in Maxwell's life when he knew it was expected of him to say those words. There were even times when he wanted to say them. But many times he didn't. Because it wouldn't feel right. Because it would feel too much like a goodbye. Because he simply couldn't bring himself to say it back.
(Sometimes he still can't. But maybe that's alright.)
