Three years later, he's still there.

Summary
No one had ever accused Maxwell Gotch of having particularly good luck. On the contrary, in fact.
Case in point; Olethra was out exploring Zumhara and flirting with Ludmila, while Maxwell was down for the count in his quarters.
Just his luck.

stay on the line (terrified of the ghost in my machine) by harpiecarpie
Fandoms: Dimension 20 (Web Series)

Summary
The automata of Zern, having been freed from one invading mind, now face countless more. The people of Gath, still unaware of the Braid, face a rash of occult phenomena. Those residing within Zood, having chosen honor and sacrifice, face an unprecedented hardship. Blanketing them all: rain.
Not long after the final battle against Straka, Torse's homeworld is besieged by a torrential downpour and his people begin succumbing to possession by the restless dead. His only solace, as he and his comrades search for the Corrodi remnants they believe to be the culprits, is the crystal telephone gifted to him by Marya before they parted.
He soon learns that crystal telephone is key to protecting himself from possession. Perhaps, with the aid of Maxwell and Marya's beloved protégés, Torse can discover the key to breaking the curse drowning three planets.
OR: Torsewell post-canon mystery adventure, ala campaign after the campaign, with protegays for flavor!

Summary
After watching the news reel of the Zephyr’s launch (over and over), eight-year-old Olethra MacLeod writes to Maxwell Gotch, hoping to make a friend who shares her taste in books and isn’t afraid of her dad.
Grieving after the recent loss of his grandfather, seventeen-year-old Maxwell has never talked to children much, but he could use a friend who also longs for adventure and doesn’t see him as just another Gotch.

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
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
Exhaustion crashes into Maxwell in the wake of the final battle, dredging up all the bitter fears he hadn't wanted to taste and the wounds he'd thought had been closed.
The beginnings of a healing ritual come in the form of Torse, tea, and a garden swing in a snowstorm.

Summary
Normally, when he gets like this – this level of anger, this unsettled, untethered, rowdy – he goes out on the streets, taking beatings and dealing them out with just about anyone who will go a couple rounds with him.
Unfortunately, he is currently on a ship with a limited number of people, none of which would give him the fights he needs.
He needs –
What he really needs is someone to hit, someone to hit that will hit him back without worrying about injury on either side.
--
or, Max has a meltdown after Katur and the disaster of meeting Comfrey.

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.

You Should See Him Laughing, Fit to Die (With a Cinder in his Eye) by Anonymous
Fandoms: Dimension 20 (Web Series)
20 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
“Not very serious,” he repeats, fuming, incredulous. “Oh, bullshit! What the hell, Torse?” He levels an accusatory finger, silently thankful that no tremor betrays him. “What’s with all of this, then?”
“Nothing is with all of anything.” Torse keeps his hands hovering close to him. Silently trying to weigh if the reward of properly pushing him back into resting is worth the risk of potentially injuring him further, if Maxwell had to guess. “These are… what I understand you would call ‘flesh wounds’.”
Maxwell’s pretty sure his idea of a flesh wound may not be the best basis to start from. Not that he can, or will, ever admit as much to Torse. “Your ribs are bent back!”
“And yours are bruised.”
----
The crew ends up in a particularly rough fight. Maxwell meets his match in avoiding recovery.Series

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.Series

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
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
“Are you awake?”
Torse, being a clockwork warrior, does not jolt like the wire-wrought mice that have recently burrowed into the Aganti Zernai’s enclaves. But when reactivating his visual function reveals a foreign green and brown earth, rich with organic life, with moisture—well. His mechanisms stall, then start again. He says, heavily, “I am.”
“Oho! Well, that’s very interesting. I wasn’t expecting us to speak a common language! Try not to move, old boy, I’ve my hand at what I believe to be your heart. Could be your brain. Or lungs.”
Self-preservation protocols keep Torse still as he reassesses the situation. His memory core remains intact, but he doesn’t need to review the sensory mess. The piercing cry of a bird made of the dead. The warping heat of the collared Calefactory Biangle.
//
Torse falls through a Biangle into an alien world. Fortunately, the first person to reanimate him is none other than the eccentric philanthropist, Cadswitch Gotch.
