    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

    Rumi looks down. “Your soul,” she whispers mournfully, enraptured by the blue light trickling out of his chest. “It’s beautiful.”

    Jinu smiles.

    Gently, he presses his forehead against hers. Rumi jolts, eyes widening, but to his relief, she doesn’t pull away.

    “My soul,” he echoes softly. “It’s yours, now.”

    Rumi opens her mouth, but no words escape her as she gapes at him. A tear cascades down her cheek.

    “It’s mine to give, and yours to take, if you’ll have me.” His vision is blurring, and so he lets his eyes fall shut, allowing the darkness to encompass him. He forces himself to believe that the lull of sleep is accepted of his own volition.

    His cheeks tingle. Rumi is holding onto his face. “No, no, no—” she grits out. Her voice is growing distant. “Stop. You can’t do this to me.” The words rush out of her in a frenzy, full of haste and distress. “Jinu.”

    “Rumi,” he responds in a broken murmur. “Thank you.”

    She was right. Gwi-Ma could be defeated.

    He should have listened to her.

    (Or: A fix-it/time-travel au where Jinu goes back to the very beginning of the story and sets things right.)
