FishBoi (Bookfish)

A teenage boy slumped partially under bedcovers and looking at a lit laptop screen with the words "read, read" floating above his head in the style of sound effect words for a comic. (Nick Nelson from Heartstopper, volume 1, page 192.)

    Summary

    Who was he to argue with facts? With Torse?

    Torse, the metal man with a wind-up heart, who was standing on the deck of his ship. Torse, who was still absolutely caked in gore and viscera from the shoulders down, and Maxwell, whose priorities just shifted so fast he nearly gave himself whiplash.

    Sometimes a first date consists of a robot, an autistic man and a sponge bath in the back of an airship.

    Summary

    He is a Gotch after all and Gotches are never rowdy, never violent, never imperfect.
    And so, Maxwell Gotch is used to existing on the outside.
    It is the same with the crew of the Zephyr, with old friends who adopted Olethra as ‘the kid' immediately, as the perfect little member of their crew. But Maxwell wasn't rowdy enough. Far too rowdy for his family, but not enough for the Wind Riders.
    But that was fine.
    Maxwell has been content with his lonely existence for twenty-nine years, why should that change now?

    In which Maxwell Gotch finds a family and falls in love.

    Summary

    “Torse,” sighs the bosun, a flicker of frustration in her eyes. “You have to let us help him.”
    He should let them help. He can’t help Maxwell, he’s not built for helping, he’s built to destroy, to shatter bones and rend metal and and and…
    And Maxwell is dying in his arms.
