Summary
Perhaps it was the Zood Switcheroo, reaching back through the Calefactory Biangle and befrumpled time. Perhaps it was another inexplicable phenomenon that, if they had known of it, they would have given an equally inexplicable name.
As it is, Torse (a step out of time since birth, a warrior in a family of alleged gentlemen, a lonely soul with not much to lose) pushes through the doors of Ramansu temple with the Wind Riders at his heels.
Among the chaos and eviscerated bankers, they find another one made of clockwork, a clue tucked in the recesses of his metal mind.
If the trail of Comfrey MacLeod is made of stolen memory cards and impending financial ruin, then they are honour-bound to follow it. And if there is more to Max than meets the eye, then Torse is all too eager to heed the call to adventure. -

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
Fifty-some years of living on the run would make anyone develop some strange habits.
Or, Comfrey reflected, maybe it made outlaws very flexible with exit strategies. Her eyebrows jumped when Daisuke briskly ransacked the steamer trunks belonging to the hotel room’s inhabitants—a married couple? Maybe brother and sister—and pulled out a dress. He drawled out a pleased, “Huh,” and then held it against his own body.

Summary
“It has been a long time since an engineer has looked at me with a discerning eye,” Torse began, in his slow, methodical tone. “I am…more aware of the fact that I am in disrepair.”
Marya's heart broke.
“Then may I mend you?” She asked.

Summary
Torse found himself thinking about touch more than ever before. It was a mechanical marvel that allowed for automatons to feel touch. He didn’t believe in miracles, but he had always been pragmatically grateful to whatever allowed him to feel pain. Only recently had he come to appreciate and want more forms of touch.
An introspective following Torse’s emotions and physical sensations throughout the season.

Summary
Marya Junková could mark the periods of her life by fire - both when it burned and when it went dark.
Her early years in Scrapsylvania had been a gray smudge. When Comfrey MacLeod found her, scooped her out of the scrap, the professor ignited a fire, one that burned fiercely during Marya’s time as a wind rider.
The flames leapt higher when she flew the Kingfisher. It was only in the fires of Straka that her own light withered.
The dark was all she knew for many years, rotting in the scrap. Until familiar faces, some old, some new, called her back to the sky.
Slowly, ever so slowly, the fire had sparked again. It was small at first, as all sparks are, a flame to be tended with gentle care, until one day, under the open sky, it burned again.
But in this moment, suspended thousands of feet above the sea, watching the Zephyr in pieces, falling away through the clouds, the flame again went dark.Marya couldn’t help but think that this time, it was for good.

Summary
Maxwell just tuned out the conversations instead, glancing around the street. It was dark, and unlike home, where the street lamps took up entire avenues, and the light pollution was so strong you could barely make out the clouds, here, the stars were scattered on full display. Not that Maxwell liked stargazing. He didn't. But he couldn't help his mind from straying, and his legs, too, as he glanced around the street and felt himself drawn towards the patches of voices outside of the bars and those establishments his dad would call rowdy-
"Where are you going?"
Maxwell turned around quickly, expecting his father's stern expression or Samwell's weary one, but instead just found himself facing the wide-eyed girl - Olethra - from before.
***
When Olethra's parents pass tragically, Comfrey isn't approved instantly for custody. Instead, Olethra is taken in by a rather different family - but the Gotches stay on the ground, and Olethra... adamantly refuses to.

Summary
"Why are you here?" [...]
"Keeping tabs on my little oddball." The specter hands her a cup and, notably, the world does not warp around her. "Do not drop this one. I'm tired of cleaning up."
"I have already ruled that out." The laws of physics work here, Zoodian though they might be. They have not flown close enough to Zern for the gravity to shift, in this run.
"Mila—"
"Ludmila," she corrects, harsher than she means to. There is only one person allowed to call her that, and she is worlds and timelines away.
---
they pull ludmila from her glass coffin, and it takes some time to understand reality. this is my excuse to write her having genuine trauma from everything, and also the fact that i too would be having a Rough Time if i'd just spent centuries in a tube and then brought back to life.
this was supposed to be like 2k max of smut and it ballooned to this. oh well! hope you enjoy! <3

Monty and Comfrey have a talk in the mech before their final trip into Zumhara and the arrival of Straka

Summary
And for the first time in Comfrey's life, adventure doesn't feel like getting by by the seat of your pants. If feels like watching your granddaughter face off against a god and make it out alive on luck alone. Watching her protect someone elses life at the cost of her own.
Or
Comfrey watched Olethra almost die, she considers just how much of Olethra's life she's missed.

“Today is the day, Mila,” Marya sing-songs, as Ludmila sits down next to her. “If I am not careful, you will soon be organising a mutiny, hmm?”

Summary
She says that they don’t want to flood Van with all of this while she is recovering, and she can’t help but think it might be easier to recover if she knew what she was recovering from.
It feels like her brain was a carefully written letter on delicate parchment paper. Parchment paper that then had a glass of water spilled over it. Words dissolve to be illegible. They are still there, undeniably the ink stains linger, but the words - the events - are lost to time.

Summary
Van busies herself with general ship busy work, tying down what needs to be steadied before they take off, making sure the balloons are secured. It’s easy to look busy, and from far away she will look perfectly fine to continue working. It feels bad, moving to work away from where Comfrey had seemingly been trying to approach her, but she can’t let herself be taken from the current crew.
She will mask this want to be here behind the excitement for flight, a thing they invented together with Marya just a few months ago. Surely she can’t miss out on their third voyage, especially not with the ever increasing crew that she needs to train up! So she is perfectly fine to be here, because she is not sick, and is not pulling in sharp breaths.

Summary
The guilt had been near unbearable at the time of the crash. Bathed in darkness from overcast skies, black mass circling in the ocean below them as they searched so frantically for a body that Comfrey had thought they might never find. She knew the Chapman curse, knew that when a Chapman was taken by it they would never be found. It had been a miracle, seeing her claw up with only one arm. A miracle that a tourniquet could combat the curse for long enough.
However temporary solutions are just that - temporary. A net will not hold forever and neither will even the most robust metal. There is always room for something to go wrong, and in her effort to never accept this - to never linger on it - Comfrey has led them down a horrible path.

Summary
“Torse, you got a minute?” Comfrey’s voice sliced through Torse’s introspection. He glanced over at her from where he was sitting and nodded. “I’ve got a favor I’d like to ask of you”.
--
Torse sat with her request in his mind. He was not made for building anything, especially a marriage, but it didn’t sound like Maxwell actually needed someone to build a life with. Maxwell needed a protector, a warrior who could and would get their hands dirty. This would help Zern’s relations with Gath, and Torse would have a purpose again.
--
The first time Torse properly met Maxwell Gotch, was also when they signed their Gathie Marriage paperwork. He was broad, in a dark red, well-fitting suit, wearing pristine gloves. Maxwell’s blue eyes lingered on Torse’s spikes and blades. He hadn’t had the time, nor any care to properly clean his blades since the war ended but now felt viscerally aware of the blood, oil, and general grime on him. Torse made plans to clean himself off properly as soon as possible.Series
