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.

Summary
she has been dormant for a very, very long time. it is easier to let the queen do as she wishes with ludmila's face.
it is not so easy to let her do as she wishes with ludmila's heart, which has never really lived in her own body. no, it has been marya's for far longer than it was ever her own.
---
or, "what if tube!ludmila is semi aware of what the queen is doing because they're using her heart, and marya has always been the thing her heart leads her to. what if she's fighting tooth and nail against the thing that wears her face."

Summary
You stare out at the setting Zoodian sun, away from the rest of the crew, relishing the quiet. A voice sounds, “Maxwell.” It’s Torse, coming up behind you, steps loud. You turn to face him - you always turn to face him, turn back and look and see him, behind you, beside you, orbiting each other like the two halves of a binary star.
“Torse,” you say, heart somehow in your throat. You can feel every time he has touched you, phantom on your skin, his body across your shoulders, his hand on your back, his heart, bandaged tight to your knuckles. You’d taken it off after the fight. It’s in your pocket, now, warm and beautiful and his, more important than any other fact of its creation. It’s his. It’s yours, too, but it’s his. You run a thumb across one of the jagged edges.
Neither of you speak, for a moment. You look at him, instead, take in every detail of him, the scratches that want buffing out, the charred marks, the spots of Longspot’s blood, dusting every inch of him. His gaze, red and warm and direct at you, always at you, in every situation. His voice in your ears, ringing, my companion. My friend. The one I break bread with. The one seated at all of my tables.
