Summary
“Good Lord!” he exclaimed, and looked down to see exactly who he’d stepped on.
Sitting there, slumped against the doorframe, was none other than Lieutenant Havers.
An (unauthorised) night at the pub brings the Captain and Havers together, in more ways than one.

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.)Bookmarked by MeetMeAtTheRitz

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.

Summary
Maxwell wished for something, anything, a sign that his friend was still in there somewhere. Maybe speaking to him would help.
“Torse? My good man, are you-”
Then Torse suddenly lunged, grabbing the sides of Maxwell’s head and slamming his metal visor into the human man’s face, breaking his nose.

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
Maxwell is exhausted. Not just tired, not just physically worn out, but genuinely, bone-deeply exhausted. He hides it well. Either that, or everyone else is far more focused on something else than on him, his injuries, his aftermath from the fight.
He doesn't blame them. He's focused on something else, too. Because now, with the Queen- with Ludmila- with what happened-
They can wake up Torse. His own injuries can wait. Marya had given him the heart, and instructions, and gone off to-
He didn't know what she was doing, actually. Her actions after the battle were her own choices. He trusted her to make them wisely - she had known Ludmila best, after all.
He also doesn't much care, not when-
Torse is in front of him. The iron heart is in his hands. He just has to- He needs to- He can-

Summary
Zood is truly a beautiful place. Torse is endlessly glad to have been given the opportunity to explore it, to see its skies and its lands, its flora and fauna. Today, bereft of any pressing action to take while the crew of the Zephyr resupply and refuel, he wanders a small forest of blue trees and red flowers, the grass soft underneath his feet. He can sense softness, now. The crew of the Zephyr have given him that - Marya, specifically, but he would not have known to ask her had Maxwell not gifted him a plush scarf, found at a Bazaar in some city. He had not told Maxwell about the extra wires she had soldered into him, but he keeps the scarf tucked under his breastplate, a token from a fair maiden.
Maxwell is not his fair maiden. It had simply been a gift. It would behoove him to remember that.

“Sometimes when I feel out of place, I’ll spar. It helps distract me,” Max said, gently flexing his fingers beneath his leather gloves.
“As an automaton, I’m afraid I have no ability to improve my physical capabilities through movement or practice,” Torse responded, glancing to the side in a small tell of shyness.
“Spar with me anyways,” Max blurted out, standing quickly.

Summary
Exhaustion crashes into Maxwell in the wake of the final battle, dredging up all the bitter fears he hadn't wanted to taste and the wounds he'd thought had been closed.
The beginnings of a healing ritual come in the form of Torse, tea, and a garden swing in a snowstorm.

Summary
Torse is flat on the deck, gears audibly sticking against each other, clicking slowly in his chest. His heart glows only faintly, and the light of his visor flickers and dims, only the barest hint of gold remaining.
Maxwell runs over to him. He can do nothing else.Bookmarked by MeetMeAtTheRitz

Summary
Maxwell has done this before - knows the feeling of hands on his waist, of strong thighs trapped between his own, the smell of sweat and traces of cologne and cigarettes smoke and men. He's never done it with someone made entirely of cool, smooth iron, though. Not with someone who he cared to see the next morning, with someone he cared so deeply about the opinions of.

Summary
Torse’s shoulders are tense and pensive. His arm falls back to his side. Maxwell is not the most physical of people (besides in the ring), but his fingers twitch and stay where they are. Touching metal is different than the heat and pressure of skin.
He swallows thickly. With his thumb resting on a weld line, all he can think to say is: “What does it feel like?”
Torse pauses curiously. “What does what feel like?”
“Your heart, when you change it. When you switch from gold to iron.”
Torse turns his head down, towards where his heart’s softly glowing light illuminates Maxwell’s fingertips. He is quiet for some time. Then he meets his eyes again. “Like fire,” he decides.Bookmarked by MeetMeAtTheRitz
