    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

    Torse glances down at himself, and Maxwell is privy to the way his whole body tenses, muscles going corded under his skin.

    "Oh," Torse says, as if he's only just realizing that the body he's occupying isn't his usual one. "Well, fuck."

    Summary

    After getting caught in the Calefactory Biangle and dragged through Hell, Maxwell is fine.

    Genuinely fine. He’s been resting, and eating three square meals a day, and “talking about his emotions” or whatever bullshit Olethra’s been talking about. He bought a journal, for fuck’s sake. He has yet to use it, but still. Everyone agrees that Maxwell’s been on the mend.

    The visions that plague him every time he closes his eyes have absolutely nothing to do with that.

    Or: Maxwell has a nightmare, a cup of tea, and learns to lean on his family, in that order.

    Maxwell and Torse slow dance, away from those who would assume the truth about them.
