    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

    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

    In the aftermath of the battle atop the Statue of Liberty, Peter Parker is thrust into a new reality where he's a stranger without an identity. Homeless and displaced in the alleys of Gotham, he must navigate a city overrun by crime to forge a new path.

    Meanwhile, Gotham's shaking with the arrival of Red Hood. Fueled by years of grudge holding and a burning desire to settle the score with his old man, he's back in town and ready to cause chaos. But as he grapples with memories and family ties he thought he'd left behind, keeping that vengeance alive gets trickier than he ever imagined.

    When they stumble upon each other amidst the shattered remains of the Gotham Opera House, an unlikely bond forms. Amid the wreckage, they forge a peculiar friendship, joining forces to navigate the tangled web of obstacles ahead.
