    Summary

    Omega says, then, "I AM WILLING TO UNDERGO THE CLEANING PROCESS."

    Shadow snorts, but he says, "Alright."

    Omega leans forward harder, front pressed to Shadow's back, it's nice, and Omega adds, "BUT I WILL BE RECIPROCATING."

    "My guns are clean."

    "I HAVE NO MONEY."

    That's a lie. And a strange one. "What are you doing?"

    Omega pauses.

    Omega says, "FLIRTING. BADLY."

    Shadow huffs, it's hard not to smile- so he stops fighting it, lets his mouth curl with the heat in his cheeks, Shadow says, "I wouldn't say that- I just didn't get it."

    Summary

    It would have been a lot easier, probably, if they could have fallen in love while Torse was still here. But count on them to do things the hard way, of course.

    Also: holy shit, you're thirty.

    Summary

    “I trust your hands,” Torse says, and heaves to his feet and snatches up a fallen naughtomaton’s spear and throws it two hundred feet into the air, puncturing the closest of the dinghies and sending it careening out of the sky into the one below. One of the Primarch soldiers falls, injured, to the deck, and Torse tears his head off and throws that too, knocking an attacker out of another craft.

    “I’m going to let you rip me in half when this is over,” Max mumbles, involuntarily. Torse glances back at him with a humming chuckle.

    Summary

    "A lovely story, Gotch, but an awful lot of preamble to the main gist." Her head cocks toward you: "You saw Gotch had a tattoo and it made you want to get a tattoo too, that's all it is, ya?"

    This thing between you is so new. You both have so, so much yet to learn.

    Summary

    After the crew lands in Zumhara and the Wind Riders have headed into the city, Torse goes in search of somewhere he can process everything, away from prying eyes. He does not process very well, but he's trying.

    Maxwell experiences a perfectly justifiable level of mortal terror when he returns to find his friend missing, and overt declarations of lifelong devotion after 2 weeks of knowing each other is actually kind of a slow burn for Zood, okay?
    ----
    “Why would she...? Oh.” Maxwell stiffens, then blows out a breath. He reaches past Torse’s mantle to clasp his neck, tucks them firmly together, and rhythmically brushes thumb across his vulnerable nape. “Oh, Torse.”

    His friend’s comfort breaks the dam. “What drove her to save me, when she was comfortable condemning so many to destruction? What had she found worthy of salvation within me that she deemed the rest of my homeworld to be lacking? Why am I not taken apart in the Amphereon, or walking as one of the Naughtomata, or lining the throat of that vile beast?”

    Maxwell goes rigid.

    Summary

    Even if half the assertions made by the crew are complete nonsense, Torse can’t help but ponder over Marya’s offhand comments.

    “Everyone gets cabin fever on a long voyage eventually! But really, if anyone needs to get laid, it’s Maxwell.”

    Admittedly, Torse is still on shaky ground when it comes to understanding Gathie biology. What if Marya’s comment points to a more serious issue? Does sex fall into the same category as food and water and sleep? Do Gathies get sick if they go too long without sex? This ‘cabin fever’ that Marya spoke of? He’s starting to get slightly concerned for Maxwell’s wellbeing.

    In which Scrapsylvanians love colloquialisms, Zern doesn’t have them, and Marya unknowingly becomes the captain of an entirely different ship.

    Summary

    Torse… probably needs to talk to Maxwell. About that night. In the submarine. He's back now, he's okay, Maxwell is glad for his return.

    Maxwell had kissed him. Occasionally, when he is alone, when he is lonely, he will press his fingers to his faceplate, where Max's own lips had touched him, and remember the soft, foreign sensation.

    Maxwell hadn't known he was awake. Or - aware. Sensate. He would… not have said those things, if he had known.

    Summary

    “Good,” Maxwell had nodded. “I ask because… well, you frankly— quite clearly, you’re a man of a similar constitution—”

    Torse had bowed his head. It was no insignificant compliment, he knew. “Thank you.”

    “Yes. Of course,” he'd likewise inclined it politely back. “And, seeing as we still have quite some time before we reach the Temple of Katur, if there’s nothing else you would need to see to, I thought I would offer, well, not a crash course, exactly. We don’t even really have any time for that. Not necessarily pointers, either, you are, obviously you’re very capable. Just to share some of what I’ve learned.” He had cleared his throat, sniffed once. Kept his eyes resolutely forward. “If you’d like.”

    “I would be very honored, if you would show me.” And he had gestured for Maxwell to lead the way. “Please.”
    ----
    While still on the way to Katur, Maxwell guides Torse through some of the philosophies and practical applications of the sweet science. Torse ruminates on ideas of beauty, and the fact that he is traveling with another group of extraterrestrials.

    Summary

    Look. Pretending him and Torse were engaged had just seemed like the best idea at the time. And in both of their defence: Marya had been the one to accept the offer.

    (Torse and Maxwell pretend to be betrothed so that Maxwell doesn't have to marry some duke's daughter. Things escalate.)

    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

    The children of Zern do not dream. They are not made capable of it, they do not need it, if they are left bereft of hearts they merely stand silent and sentinel until such an organ-machine is replaced. Torse is no different - he does not dream. Not technically. 

    The children of Zern can move a little without their hearts, for merely a few moments after the removal. Torse had told this to the crew of the Zephyr, upon meeting them. 

    He had not told them other things; due to some unknown cruelty, even disanimate, the children of Zern can hear. They can feel. They retain some distant awareness of light and dark, though not true sight. Forever doomed to be on the outside of a moving world, to know exactly what they are missing. Torse can distantly hear the crew of the Zephyr partying, drinking, without him. Ignore that he cannot drink - ignore that he fears what his iron heart would have him do - ignore that were he there, he would likely leave, too much noise and too many social rules to follow. Allow him some slight misery. Currently he has little else.

    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.

    Summary

    Who was he to argue with facts? With Torse?

    Torse, the metal man with a wind-up heart, who was standing on the deck of his ship. Torse, who was still absolutely caked in gore and viscera from the shoulders down, and Maxwell, whose priorities just shifted so fast he nearly gave himself whiplash.

    Summary

    Hizashi doesn’t notice, too caught up in his own work. His glasses are sliding down his nose, and his hair is beginning to fall free of its loose bun. The tip of his tongue pokes out the side of his mouth as he does his calculations, and Shouta is suddenly overcome with the desire to hold onto this moment forever. He’s not sure why it feels so urgent - they’ve spent a thousand nights like this. There are thousands more ahead of them, with any luck at all. But something about the way Hizashi looks right now feels fleeting and precious, like the blink of a firefly.

    Shouta shoves the paper in front of him forward until Hizashi looks up. “You know, if we got married, we might qualify for a tax break.”

    ———

    In which Aizawa has a bad night, does taxes, plays DDR, and proposes four times. A love story.

    “I guess,” Midoriya sighs. “But then – some of the pro heroes are our teachers, you know? And still, it’s not like any of them are... I mean, it’s certainly not a common occurrence for a hero to be... out.”

    Out? Aizawa thinks. He begins to suspect that he knows what this conversation is about.

    Summary

    They really could’ve died today. It lit a dizzy fire in Hizashi’s chest, one he’d carefully smothered the times it tried to light before that his heavy hands couldn’t bring themselves to cover now.

    “Hey Eraser,” he smiled wider, “want to get married?”

    Shouta would like to continue to ignore the press, but they were like feeding dogs table scraps, once they got a taste of something they would beg and whine until you gave in. Just another reason why he was a cat person. It’s likely he would need to address his relationship status, and while neither he nor Hizashi liked the press, he wasn’t a fan of lying to them either.
