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
His first mistake is not picking up the phone.
In Jud’s defense, it’s been a long fucking day. And not one that he’s keen to recount.
He’s kept the damn thing turned off for most of the day. As a rule, he stays fairly available on Sundays, but—well, extenuating circumstances call for extreme reactions. Thankfully, he had kept enough of his head after Mass to force a shutdown instead of what he wanted to do, which was to hurl it against the wall and watch it shatter into a million tiny pieces.
Night is young, though.
Or: A Wicks truther comes after Jud in the middle of Mass. He's fine. Benoit disagrees.

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 felt…strange.
Not bad, necessarily. As far as he could tell, he wasn’t in any pain. But he didn’t feel particularly good, either.
Mostly he just felt a whole lot of…nothing.
That in itself wasn’t strange. Maxwell would be remiss to call himself an emotional man. He was a passionate one, however, and typically this time after a fight would be spent mentally going over each second of battle, relishing in the spiderwebs of pain that still stretched over his cracked knuckles.
But now? Now he wasn’t even positive that the hands he was looking at belonged to him.
It was all just very…strange.
Or: Maxwell (doesn't) deal with his newfound bloodlust. Van helps.

Summary
Van Chapman was pretty sure she had the Gotch kid figured out--stick up his arse, fancy clothes, and an air of superiority that was distinctly out of place on an airship.
And then he flew past her as he launched himself off the ship.
And then, after punching two pilots out of the sky, jumped back as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn’t covered in blood, and as if his gloves weren't bitten off to reveal heavily scarred knuckles.
Van Chapman prided herself on not being easily shaken, and she wasn’t. It was just—surprising.
She didn’t really know this kid at all.
Or: Snapshots of Van and Maxwell bonding, punching, and healing. Mostly punching.

Summary
Twelve hours, Shane reminds himself. Twelve hours, and then he can come home and sleep for as long as he needs with nobody to disturb him.
He can do this.

Summary
It's a long standing hockey tradition for veteran players to take in a rookie player for their first year, but when Coach Wiebe came to Ilya about taking in promising prospect Luca Haas, the last thing he expected was to actually agree.
Luca had just moved from Switzerland to Ottawa and the transition had been anything but smooth. More stressed than he had ever been in his life, unsure how he was going to get through the season, and the last thing he expected was to be taken right under his childhood idol's wing. In what turns out to be a manageable season with the newfound mentorship of Ilya Rozanov.
