    Summary

    Arthur laughs and huddles close to Lapin, grinning wildly. “Hey,” he says in an excited whisper, loudly hushed like they’re sharing secrets, “so you know how I'm a master of chronomancy and everyone you know is dead?”

    Lapin blinks, his stomach dropping. “You said everyone I know is fine—that that was a quangled Calorum.”

    “Yes! No, exactly!” Arthur replies, before Lapin’s sudden anxiety can mount too much. “Don’t worry, we fixed it. They’re not actually all dead.” He waves a hand airily, and Lapin tries not to be annoyed. (He only mostly succeeds.) “My bad. I was just going to offer to return you to your time of death, in your Calorum—the non-quangled, canon one, so to speak. Maybe you can do something different. Give yourself a fighting chance!”

    Summary

    Van Chapman was pretty sure she had the Gotch kid figured out--stick up his arse, fancy clothes, and an air of superiority that was distinctly out of place on an airship.

    And then he flew past her as he launched himself off the ship.

    And then, after punching two pilots out of the sky, jumped back as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn’t covered in blood, and as if his gloves weren't bitten off to reveal heavily scarred knuckles.

    Van Chapman prided herself on not being easily shaken, and she wasn’t. It was just—surprising.

    She didn’t really know this kid at all.

    Or: Snapshots of Van and Maxwell bonding, punching, and healing. Mostly punching.

    Summary

    No one was supposed to see that Captain Junková died a cowards death in an age long past. A captain should go down with her ship, and the parts of Marya that yearned for the sky and smiled with reckless abandon was buried deep in her hole of a heart.

    Now, Marya lived in the Captain’s shack, masquerading as a reputable toy shop owner, and pretended the dirt under her nails was nothing to worry about.

    Small character study about how Marya was living a gothic horror pre-campaign

    Summary

    Maxwell thought that he would be able to get away from the demands of his father and the crushing weight of his family’s legacy when he decided to take the Zephyr. And meeting Olethra, finding the secret radio code, gathering the rest of the original crew of the Zephyr—he thought that he had finally hit his lucky break. He felt more alive than he had in a while during the fight with Mordecestershire, felt an actual challenge, felt his blood rushing in a way it never had before. His desire to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps was stronger than ever now that he actually had a visible goal. No longer was he going to be the black sheep of the family. He was going to bring back the spirit that Cadswitch Gotch originally strived for.
