    Summary

    The rest of the world might not think Jack Kelly is destined for much, but Jack knows better. He just needs to get away from the city, to some place where he can be more than just another nameless orphan in the chaos of New York City. So when someone offers to pay his way to Santa Fe in exchange for crossing the Wall and retrieving a fallen star, he jumps at the chance.

    He just wasn't expecting the star to be so, well, human.

    Jack makes a deal with the fallen star named David to get them both home, but the magical kingdom of Stormhold has so much more in store for them both. People are hunting David, secrets from Jack's past leave him in danger as well, and injustice is rampant in the kingdom. Throw in a climate of political upheaval, a renegade noblewoman, and a crew of fugitive sky pirates, and soon, all of Stormhold will know that change is coming.

    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.

    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

    "Varian?" she says, and it comes out more of a question, a question of whether that's really him, whether he's really here, than a statement.
    "Cass?" his voice is soft, hoarse, broken from dehydration and disuse. A moment passes, a moment of him studying her with dull blue eyes, before his lips pull upwards in something that resembles a smirk, "Hey, you changed your hair. It looks nice. Cool."

    Or: After betraying Rapunzel, Cassandra decides to enlist Varian's help.
