    Summary

    Torse had fought as a necessity to his survival but he knew it was different for Maxwell. His human warrior craved the feeling of grappling and punching his fellow man; and craved the thrill of victory. The respectable Umanzi pit gave him some of that thrill, but Torse could tell that he craved more.

    based on a tumblr post/art that gave me absolute brainrot

    Summary

    Maxwell was actually quite shocked at how much there truly was. The fight had been violent, yes, but he hadn't thought it was that violent. Maybe the blood covering his face should have been his first hint, but with the way he fought most battles ended with at least some blood on his face. In fact, it was more notable when there was none.

    Maxwell reached up to wipe some of the blood off his face. It was starting to get sticky and he couldn't stand the texture of dried blood, even if it was his father's.

    His father's blood.

    One of the last things of his father left in this world.

    His father who had tried to kill Maxwell that same day.

    His father who Maxwell killed.

    Or

    Everything catches up with Maxwell after the battle in the finale

    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

    Maxwell felt the sweat roll down his back, he felt the air when Torse’s blades zipped close to his face. He smiled anyway, wide and manic, bruises on his knuckles and blood drying on his arm, where Torse had scratched earlier. It ended, as it often did, with Maxwell, face in the dirt, refusing to yield. Torse had his hand splayed wide on Maxwell’s back, pressing him down, one knee between his legs.

    Summary

    Zern was rebuilding steadily. The last remnants of the Corrodi were piles of rust and oil, and Torse, for the first time in possibly his entire life, felt safe. He was one of the last of the Aganti Zernai to make the choice to remove some of his weaponry.

    Summary

    "I accept your apology."

    "I don't..."

    "I am beginning to think there is no such thing as deserving."

    Ludmila looks up at Torse. He gleams in the rain, is pretty in a way you wouldn't think a being like him could be. He manages it, though, time and time again. He is a very gentle man. "Why is that?"

    "Nobody here deserved all that they got. It just seems meaningless."
