    Summary

    He has learned this lesson. He has. He can want companionship, and accept allyship. He can want trust, and accept tolerance. He can want solace, and accept shelter.

    (He can want worthiness for iron, and accept gold.)

    He knows better than to ask for more than he’s offered. He knows how to want so quietly no one else ever hears it. Torse is painfully aware that the transaction ends when the hand retracts.

    He tightens one fist around the other, substituting pressure for heat. 
    -------
    Or, Torse asks for what he wants. And gets it. (Physical affection. From Maxwell, specifically.)

    Summary

    "I think I am tired of destroying things," Torse said slowly. "Of hurting. I want to help grow."

    Maxwell's face softened. "Torse, I may not have known you for a long time, but I've known you to do very little destruction without need. Truth be told, I don't think of you as a destroyer at all."

    And, well. Torse found himself staring at the ground. What was Torse supposed to do with that?

    Torse spends some time reconstructing Zern and then reunites with the crew after Maxwell requests it. It is, funnily enough, through Ludmila that he finds the ability to understand his own issues and reservations. There is some dancing and sparring involved.

    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

    I've read a lot of fics where Harry Potter travels back through time and then has to make Tom Riddle fall in love with him–I wanted to switch it up.

    Tom Riddle discards the idea of making Horcruxes when he realizes there is an easier option: make the Master of Death fall in love with him. Easy right? There are just a few problems. Featuring: love advice from the Knights of Walpurgis, shenanigans and manipulations, and a very confused Harry Potter.
