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
They are closer than they have ever been to finding Comfrey McLeod.
The Ectic Research is abandoned by the time they arrive, but only very recently. The footprints are still fresh, the documents strewn carelessly about, the booby traps still untriggered. Comfrey and Mordecestershire are chasing each other, or perhaps both chasing the same thing separately, with the crew of the Zephyr always a beat behind. Their next destination will take them to the bottom of the sea, and for that they need a submersible.
Fortunately, they know exactly where to get one. Unfortunately, it is all the way in Oda.
“Two weeks!?” Maxwell exclaims.
“Two weeks,” Van replies. “Marya just triple checked the math.”
Maxwell feels a blood vessel about to burst on the inside of his skull. A two week pause after five days of nonstop chase makes Maxwell want to pitch himself off the side of the Zephyr. His hands twitch under his gloves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Canon divergence! Everything is the same, except they can't fast travel to Oda! Maxwell and Torse have two weeks of ship confinement to figure out their feelings for each other!Bookmarked by herecomesinsomnia

Summary
"Alright, I'm twenty."
Oh. Cassie sucks her teeth, taking a sip from her glass. Young.
“I was out of undergrad by the time you were born.”
Victoria tilts her glass absentmindedly. “So?”
Cassie can't help but smile, fixing her bangs out of habit. “I think you drank a little too much.”

Summary
“This is fucking ridiculous,” Robby grumbled while he fumbled to straighten his tie. “Of all the admin bullshit they put us through, this may be the most demeaning.”
Jack bit back a laugh and knocked Robby’s hands away. “You’re making it worse,” he said and fixed the lopsided bow tie, patting his palm over the silken fabric when he was satisfied. “There. Don’t touch.”
Stepping back, he made an obvious show of looking Robby up and down, from his neatly brushed hair and trimmed beard to his newly shined dress shoes. “They’ll drop top dollars for you,” Jack said, teasingly, hoping his face didn’t expose his genuine appreciation for just how good Robby looked in the bespoke tuxedo.
“Ridiculous,” Robby muttered. “Hospital administration is parading department chiefs on stage like we’re contestants in a reality show.”

Robby begrudgingly participates in a PTMC charity auction.
