    Summary

    You're going home. You can hardly believe it. There will be work, of course, but you get to work, you get to fix your world, you saw them, the lights of the Zernai, and now you are going home. 

    You've decided to take the long way, though. Maxwell is still a little injured. 

    He's coming with you. He- He had asked to come with you, sent Wealwell and Samwell back to Gath to handle the fallout, and then he'd gripped your golden heart in his hands and asked if you would let him accompany you home. He wished to see the world that made you, the people you belonged to, to provide… companionship.

    Currently, he is sitting cross legged in bed, his gaze directed over to you. You realise, not for the first time, that he is beautiful, even now with his eye blacked and his lip split, slow healing.

    “You can stretch your legs, you know,” he says, after minutes of silence. “You don't have to sit here and watch me.” 

    “I enjoy it,” you say, almost lacking fear. “I- I still count myself incredibly lucky to have you here.” It's an easy truth to admit, a test of your self-trust. It has been easier to trust your heart, lately, to take these leaps of faith. He has made it easier.

    Summary

    Mitch is 56 years old. He's a goddamn superhero. He's a vampire who drinks the blood of nefarious villains. Somehow, acknowledging the fact that he's gay seems only marginally less daunting than facing the Camarilla head-on and telling them to go fuck themselves.

    -

    In other words: Mitch comes out and it’s not a big deal! At least, not to anyone but him and Zaeth.

    Summary

    Darkness Man grapples with a hunger that can only be sated by Purpee's new prince. When jealousy gets the better of the superhero, Zaeth takes control, setting boundaries and reassuring his devoted pervert.

    Sometimes you have to get dirty to come clean.

    TLDR: They fuck in the shower.

    Summary

    “You're into this?” Mitch scoffed. He suspected as much, of course.

    Zaeth narrowed his eyes, trying to discern if he was in bad trouble or good trouble. “Are you into it?”

    “Pervert,” Mitch spat with satisfaction.

    Zaeth smirked. “Yeah, I am. Are you?”

    Summary

    Rocky states his proposal as soon as Grace has one foot in the ladder, and Grace misses the next rung and almost cracks his head against the side of his bed in shock.

    There is no way Rocky had actually said what Grace thought he heard, just now. “You…you want to what? For science?!”

    Rocky tsks, like Grace has taken the implications way out of proportion. “Experiment,” he stresses. “Logical, methodical experiment. You make it sound… unreasonable.”

    Grace explodes. “Unreasonable! Unreasonable! You want to stick your hand up my ass!”

    Summary

    If this record is a confession, let it be a complete one: the human-thinking-machine Rocky was gifted has everything on it. With the aid of the device Rocky had made back aboard the Mary that translates light on Grace’s human-visual displays to texture on Rocky’s Eridian-sonar display, accessing all of humanity’s combined wisdom is as easy as making a database query.

    Rocky consumes approximately 1,600 Earth-hours of human pornography before the ship’s engines cease to function, leaving it dead and stranded in space. Again.

    Summary

    “I don’t want to share my coffin. I can’t fit anywhere else. I can barely fit in there as it is.”

    “I’m not asking to share,” Zaeth says; Mitch turns to stare at him, baffled. Zaeth is leaning over the coffin lid now in a way that’s really emphasizing his bulging biceps.

    (Mitch does not have much visible muscle. He’s strong, of course, but it’s not beautiful in the way Zaeth’s is. Zaeth looks every bit like a body builder, a human, and Mitch looks more like roadkill that simply cannot be torn apart. Like putty. Like cement. Something is inherently inhuman about him, and though he possesses the strength, it is not beautiful.

    Not like Zaeth.)

    -

    or: Zaeth decides he's taking Mitch's coffin. This goes over about as well as stepping into the sunlight.

    Summary

    Maxwell sits outside the brig, clad just in his shirtsleeves and trousers, looking through the small barred window at Torse. Even in confinement, even in rage, he is magnificent to behold, all broad iron plates and pointed spines, the red glow of his iron heart casting each joint in sharp relief. Beautiful. Maxwell would never say that out loud, but he was, at this point, brave enough to think it to himself. Even the events of yesterday, that had led to Torse's newfound sleeping chambers being the brig, would not change his mind. Knuckle knives, fully bared, flying towards his face. Torse's glowing red gaze directed full force at him, battle-fire enraging him. Max had ducked, and dodged, and his heart had leapt into his throat. Torse's knuckle knives had sunk into the deck of the Zephyr instead of Maxwell's skull, leaving a hole six inches deep in the hard wood.

    A beat of silence had hung in the air. Two. Three. Maxwell's pulse raced, the heat of battle and the chill of fear warring within his chest. Were it not for his reflexes, Torse - with his iron heart and his glowing red gaze - would have killed Maxwell where he stood.

    Summary

    The Captain barely flinches at the sound of the distant explosion, instead focusing what looks like the last of his strength to hold out the cerebro-slug in his stiff, frost-covered hand. “Take him.”

    Nyne swallows, readying his finger on the trigger.

    “No,” Takamori rasps. “Take him.”

    Summary

    It starts—as most things on the Zephyr do—as a drunken bit.

    “Gotch.” Van says solemnly. Her flesh hand shoots out to grip his shoulder tightly. Her eyes burn into his skull. “I’m gonna be your dad.”

    Maxwell blinks. “What?”

    “Your father is an absolute arse, and if he doesn’t want you, I call dibs. I’m your new da.”

    Or: Longspot Gotch sucks. Van, ever the problem-solver, steps up.

    Summary

    They are closer than they have ever been to finding Comfrey McLeod.

    The Ectic Research is abandoned by the time they arrive, but only very recently. The footprints are still fresh, the documents strewn carelessly about, the booby traps still untriggered. Comfrey and Mordecestershire are chasing each other, or perhaps both chasing the same thing separately, with the crew of the Zephyr always a beat behind. Their next destination will take them to the bottom of the sea, and for that they need a submersible.

    Fortunately, they know exactly where to get one. Unfortunately, it is all the way in Oda.

    “Two weeks!?” Maxwell exclaims.

    “Two weeks,” Van replies. “Marya just triple checked the math.”

    Maxwell feels a blood vessel about to burst on the inside of his skull. A two week pause after five days of nonstop chase makes Maxwell want to pitch himself off the side of the Zephyr. His hands twitch under his gloves.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Canon divergence! Everything is the same, except they can't fast travel to Oda! Maxwell and Torse have two weeks of ship confinement to figure out their feelings for each other!

    "Alright, I'm twenty."

    Oh. Cassie sucks her teeth, taking a sip from her glass. Young.

    “I was out of undergrad by the time you were born.”

    Victoria tilts her glass absentmindedly. “So?”

    Cassie can't help but smile, fixing her bangs out of habit. “I think you drank a little too much.”

    Summary

    “This is fucking ridiculous,” Robby grumbled while he fumbled to straighten his tie. “Of all the admin bullshit they put us through, this may be the most demeaning.”

    Jack bit back a laugh and knocked Robby’s hands away. “You’re making it worse,” he said and fixed the lopsided bow tie, patting his palm over the silken fabric when he was satisfied. “There. Don’t touch.”

    Stepping back, he made an obvious show of looking Robby up and down, from his neatly brushed hair and trimmed beard to his newly shined dress shoes. “They’ll drop top dollars for you,” Jack said, teasingly, hoping his face didn’t expose his genuine appreciation for just how good Robby looked in the bespoke tuxedo.

    “Ridiculous,” Robby muttered. “Hospital administration is parading department chiefs on stage like we’re contestants in a reality show.”

    Robby begrudgingly participates in a PTMC charity auction.

    Summary

    "Congrats again on the award; you deserve it." And with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

    Probably off to go plan how to hit on Jack. Jack, who this random doctor wanted to have sex with. Here. At the conference.

    Intellectually, Robby knew that was what people did at these things. Drunken hookups at conferences were common, though often denied, if not regretted. Robby had never partaken because that was not his speed, but Jack—

    Well, Jack had no such qualms. And at an ED medical conference, he was basically a rockstar. He could probably have anyone he wanted.

    Summary

    The job offer came out of nowhere. Centennial Hospital, a level 1 trauma center in Colorado, wanted him to take over for their retiring chief attending. They'd heard the same rumors as everyone about PTMC—how it'd be taken over, transformed, the ED shut down. Didn't Jack want to get ahead of it and find himself a new gig, head of the department, master of his own fate? And the money, of course. Lots and lots of money.

    Jack promptly told them to fuck off.

    Summary

    Robby sagged a little, another tiny rush of air out. Jack pretended not to notice any of it even as it slid through him, his hypothesis gaining evidence, firming in his mind.

    No, Jack didn't think anyone ever touched Robby.

    He was going to change that.

    Summary

    An unexpected break-up means Robby ends up going to Pittfest with Jake after all. He asks Abbot to cover half his shift, and Abbot is happy to agree—surely half a day shift can't be nearly as chaotic as the usual night shift. Everything that happens later changes his perspective on plenty of things, from just how crazy the day shift can get, to where exactly he wants to stand with Robby.

    Summary

    “Well?” she asks, staring him down with wide eyes as if he should have been expecting her to barge into his room at damn near 2:30 in the morning.

    Dennis’s brain is still trying to catch up to what’s happening. “Well…?” he repeats back to her slowly, hoping she’ll say something that explains why he isn’t currently blissfully asleep cocooned in the warmth of Robby’s hoodie.

    Trinity stares at him like it’s obvious.

    “How big are their dicks?”
