This Heart, And All Its Frivolity by gr8southernpansy

Summary
Torse has dimmed the light of his eyes, but they still cast a small glow on the dim area. Maxwell stands at a distance, and Torse—for the first time—seems a manageable size. From here, he’s not the colossal warrior Maxwell is used to standing beside. He’s just a man. A clockwork man, but a man just the same. Torse leans against the canyon wall, favoring one leg over the other. One leg looks to be looser, putting him off-balance. A warm breeze rolls along the floor of the canyon.
Torse has no trouble staring at him now.
Maxwell doesn’t decide to walk towards Torse, but his legs do. He never noticed this gravity that compels him toward Torse, but it doesn’t feel new; just realized.
Maxwell approaches, but stops short a few feet. They stand wordless, a small distance away from the mouth of the cave. Maxwell’s hands form fists.
“I am not your enemy,” Torse says.
“Oh really?” Maxwell says with a venom he didn’t intend. Clearly, punching patches of canyon wall for hours did nothing to release his temper.
Torse seems different, like he’s apprehensive of Maxwell. It’s unprecedented.

Summary
As quickly as she becomes aware, the Queen’s voice fills her head, banishing any other thoughts except for a single phrase repeated on loop-
“Bring me Marya Junková.”
The only thought she’s ever had.

Summary
The iron heart still sits in the bag. When they fought Fehujar, Torse did not change sides. He fought, wonderfully, admirably, and on the side of good, even without the golden heart. Therefore, reason suggests, this is not a case of evil and good; this is a case of mental clarity, perhaps. But it might be okay.
In which Maxwell puts the iron heart in, and Torse does not kill him.

Summary
Maxwell looks away to clench his teeth, swallow back bile. In the aftermath, his mind is terrifyingly blank. Winded and empty. He had been thinking so loudly and desperately, in the scramble to the portal, that he was certain everyone else could hear it too. All conscious thought was pinpointed to one goal: Torse, get to Torse, just a little closer. Letting him go was an impossibility. Doubly so when, with the lights of his visor flickering, Torse had looked at him, said his name. If he—when he’s in proper working order, Maxwell has choice words for him about timing.

“You said I can take what I want from you,” said Ludmila. She was hovering over the group, cast-iron wings outstretched behind her and her hand latched around Van’s throat. “I’ll take her.”

Summary
Marya Junková knew herself well. She knew when she needed to rest (though she often ignored it), she knew when she needed to eat (she neglected that, too), and less importantly, she knew when she had a mash (which rarely went ignored). However, considering how often her eyes drifted to Vanellope Chapman during meals, or battle, or when she was shouting orders at the crew, she wasn't going to be able to ignore it.
or, little vignettes through van and marya's relationship as they are silly and a little stupid <3

Summary
After the battle at Katur, the crew of the Zephyr wake up Torse and decide to celebrate both their success and their survival with a party. Torse makes the discovery that Maxwell knows how to dance, and the next day asks Max to teach him how.
---
“I have very little experience leading Polka but I’ve followed it decently before,” Max explained to Van, still standing next to Torse.Van’s smile somehow grew wider. “Fantastic! I’ll lead.’ Her tentacle arm shot out and grabbed Maxwell by his right arm then pulled him across the deck over to her. Torse tilted his head at the sight. He had never seen Maxwell look that comfortable touching someone except in combat.
Something familiar stirred in his iron heart. Not quite desire, but ache. He ached for a golden heart with space for more than rage, just as he seemed to ache at the sight of Maxwell and Chapman’s energetic dance across the deck. For all that he did not breathe, Torse knew a visceral understanding of the phrase ‘Sigh of relief’ once Maxwell and Chapman’s polka was done.

Summary
Torse, roused from his hibernation without a heart, had forgotten, memories of his homeland rust-stained and faded as they were, what it was like for others to aid in maintenance, though humans were so unlike his mechanical people.

Summary
“Oh, I know this one!” Olethra exclaims. She leans over to the storybook, tapping upon the inscription of the flaxen haired maiden and the Guardians bristle. She doesn’t even seem to notice. “The prince scales her tower and whisks her away from the evil witch.”
Marya scoffs a little, her eyebrows raised in rare amusement. “Not in Scrapsylvania he doesn’t. He falls from the tower and is blinded, it’s only when they reunite and she weeps upon him that his sight is restored.”
“True Love’s kiss heals ‘im in The Uplands.”
“Isn’t that Sleeping Beauty?”
“Nah. My aunt read it to me all the time as a young lass, was absolutely—“
“It’s a load of nonsense either way,” Max interrupts, his tone harsher intended. He doesn’t know why this place has him so irked. “I mean, getting whisked away by a prince who just happened to stumble upon your tower? It’s unrealistic. And True Love’s kiss? They hardly know each other. And they don’t know each other in Sleeping Beauty.”
or: The Wind Riders stumble upon a town in Zood dedicated to old Gathian fairytales. They don’t expect one of their own to start living in one.

Summary
This isn’t the first time Maxwell Gotch has been pinned to the ground by Torse. This is the first time it’s scared him, though.
Even during their sparring matches, where neither would concede, where they both gave as good as they got, he never found himself in fear of the other. Even when Torse’s knife-like arms would press against his skin, even when he would bleed through his hand wrapping to land a hit, even when Torse’s punches would shatter the wood of the ship—if anything, these things thrilled Max, as mortifying it was to admit.
Now, as the sharp edge of Torse’s bladed knuckles crash sharply against his cheek, his own blood splattering onto the scrap that made up the floor, he finds that the thrill has something more skittish hiding in its undercurrent.
or: To buy his crew time, Maxwell must fight one of the Queen of Zern’s greatest warriors to the death. It just so happens to be Torse he’s up against.

Maxwell and Olethra get Switcheroo'd.

Summary
There are cogs and dials and symbols Olethra has never seen before; books and trinkets and hand-drawn maps, notes and wrappers and a chipped, stained coffee mug. This is Comfrey, through and through, and Olethra wants to pore over every inch of it. Instead, she gets caught up in one of Monty’s books that she’s yet to read – A Strange Foe in Oh No Plateau – and only realises how dark it’s gotten when Artemesia calls her in for supper.
A few mouthfuls in, Olethra asks “is grandma not eating with us?”
Hutch glances toward the window, and Artemesia squeezes Olethra’s hand. “She had to head out, sweetheart. She said she’ll see you real soon”
Or, Olethra's relationship with Comfrey over the years.

Summary
"I am confused,” says Torse, because he is. “Why would Maxwell have a personal investment in my gender?”
“Because he-” starts Olethra, but Marya cuts her off.
“I think this is a conversation for you to have with Gotch in your own time, Torse,” she says. And then “Olethra, stop meddling. You know the rules.”
Olethra pouts. “Fine.”
Torse is barely paying attention to her. There is the palest, prettiest red flush across the bridge of Maxwell's nose, bringing attention to a small white scar on it. He doesn't know the rules that Marya is talking about, but doesn't much care, too distracted by following the pink curve of Maxwell's ears with his gaze, the way his brown-black lashes frame large dark eyes.

Rules of Love for the Sky-Eyed Beloved by MistressCryptid

Summary
Maxwell liked rules. He liked the framework of expectations set upon an engagement for which he could batter his opponent against, or tease the boundaries of said laws in a rebellious sway of emotion. Van may call him a square, but the confines of a box is where he serves best. The same could be said, he supposed, for his approach to courtship. Unfortunately for him, his newfound friends didn’t seem to share the same sentiment.
