    Summary

    “Have you ever heard the story of how Comfrey and I met?” he asked.
    Maxwell's face fell. He wasn't good with feelings, especially grief. Daisuke's pain from Comfrey's loss was as palpable as the day she died, every inch of him echoing with love for her that had nowhere to go.
    “I was the most wanted man in Pilby,” he started, his eyes glazing over as if he could see it play out in front of him. “I’d been hired to come in and steal the Prized Jewel of the Thirsty Sandman. Or the Thirty Sandmans… I can’t remember—”
    ///
    In a heart to heart on the deck of the Zephyr, Daisuke tells Maxwell the story of how he and Comfrey met. Maxwell has a realisation of his feelings for Torse.

    Summary

    What's shocking is that Riz is still here, perched on Fabian's shoulders for everyone to see. Fabian is normally so careful about who sees them together, he'll probably be really embarrassed tomorrow when he sobers up and realizes what happened.

    or:
    fabian is trying to be a better friend and riz is confused

    Summary

    Even if half the assertions made by the crew are complete nonsense, Torse can’t help but ponder over Marya’s offhand comments.

    “Everyone gets cabin fever on a long voyage eventually! But really, if anyone needs to get laid, it’s Maxwell.”

    Admittedly, Torse is still on shaky ground when it comes to understanding Gathie biology. What if Marya’s comment points to a more serious issue? Does sex fall into the same category as food and water and sleep? Do Gathies get sick if they go too long without sex? This ‘cabin fever’ that Marya spoke of? He’s starting to get slightly concerned for Maxwell’s wellbeing.

    In which Scrapsylvanians love colloquialisms, Zern doesn’t have them, and Marya unknowingly becomes the captain of an entirely different ship.

    Summary

    He is a Gotch after all and Gotches are never rowdy, never violent, never imperfect.
    And so, Maxwell Gotch is used to existing on the outside.
    It is the same with the crew of the Zephyr, with old friends who adopted Olethra as ‘the kid' immediately, as the perfect little member of their crew. But Maxwell wasn't rowdy enough. Far too rowdy for his family, but not enough for the Wind Riders.
    But that was fine.
    Maxwell has been content with his lonely existence for twenty-nine years, why should that change now?

    In which Maxwell Gotch finds a family and falls in love.
