Summary
People would call her the Professor’s Guard Dog. A moniker Van took with pride, a moniker that sparked something bizarre in her chest. A fluttering joy, a spreading warmth. Comfrey’s mutt. That’s who she was. When out on voyages by sea to gather the materials necessary for this project Van made sure to shield the professor. Sure, she’s younger than the professor, but she’s been battle hardened since the day she was born. That was the way of the Chapman’s. For this Comfrey made sure she was fed and kept warm at night.
When Comfrey barked an order, Van obeyed, no question about it.
OR: The foundation of the Zephyr is filled with messy entanglements, all stemming back to those sleepless nights Van spent with Comfrey.

Summary
Marya Junková knew herself well. She knew when she needed to rest (though she often ignored it), she knew when she needed to eat (she neglected that, too), and less importantly, she knew when she had a mash (which rarely went ignored). However, considering how often her eyes drifted to Vanellope Chapman during meals, or battle, or when she was shouting orders at the crew, she wasn't going to be able to ignore it.
or, little vignettes through van and marya's relationship as they are silly and a little stupid <3

Summary
After the battle at Katur, the crew of the Zephyr wake up Torse and decide to celebrate both their success and their survival with a party. Torse makes the discovery that Maxwell knows how to dance, and the next day asks Max to teach him how.
---
“I have very little experience leading Polka but I’ve followed it decently before,” Max explained to Van, still standing next to Torse.Van’s smile somehow grew wider. “Fantastic! I’ll lead.’ Her tentacle arm shot out and grabbed Maxwell by his right arm then pulled him across the deck over to her. Torse tilted his head at the sight. He had never seen Maxwell look that comfortable touching someone except in combat.
Something familiar stirred in his iron heart. Not quite desire, but ache. He ached for a golden heart with space for more than rage, just as he seemed to ache at the sight of Maxwell and Chapman’s energetic dance across the deck. For all that he did not breathe, Torse knew a visceral understanding of the phrase ‘Sigh of relief’ once Maxwell and Chapman’s polka was done.

Summary
When Van met a woman who promised her she could sail through the sky, she knew she'd follow her to the ends of the earth. But Comfrey has never been a person who was easy to unravel nor to understand, and their relationship tests just how far Van would go out of loyalty, especially once those loyalties expand to the rest of the crew.

Summary
Bert held out both his hands, leaving her no choice but to put hers in them. The tips of her tentacles rolled across his bony fingers.
“I love every part of you," he said, with no hesitation. He met her eyes, watched them nictate with a kind of naked wonder. “Every part of you, Lovey.”

Summary
On her own, Van never would’ve gone down to bloody Katur. She would’ve spent a pleasant evening with Bert in the hot tub, maybe helped him whip up a flight or two of aioli, and watched the nut pigs roll ‘round on deck. Even with Wealwell and Freyja onboard, she thinks it wouldn’t’ve been a half-bad way to spend a night. Instead, she’s here dropping things ‘cross the floor ‘cause she’s lost five fingers in one go.
She doesn’t recognise her reflection anymore. It’s like every time she sees herself, something is different—her eyes are darker, she’s rimmed in shadow, her blummin’ arm is gone. Something is happening to her, something far beyond her grasp. Everything Van’s known about herself, her family, her curse—all of it’s out the window now. The worst part is how good it feels.
on the freedom of becoming something you don't recognise.

Summary
Van watches Max strain against Marya’s grasp, his face turning red with effort, the tendons in his neck jumping out. “I will never. Don’t! Don’t! Don’t!” His pleas get increasingly frantic, sweat beading along his hairline, breath quickening. Van feels hers speed up along with it.
“Oh-kay, he really does refuse to submit,” Marya sing-songs, releasing him and standing up in one swift movement. Like it was never there, her manic grin vanishes, replaced by something much more approachable. Van feels the loss in her stomach. “I thought that might get him.”
The tonal whiplash is stunning. Van’s still reeling, images of Marya’s gloved hands in Gotch’s hair imprinted on the back of her eyelids every time she blinks. Her grip on Max’s ankles loosens just slightly, and he pulls them free.
answering the age-old question: fellas, is it gay to tackle a man at the exact same time as your captain?

Summary
“Anyway! Bert and I could use some help at the Nut, just someone who can float around. You can live with us, and bring Zuzu, and you don't have to fly there. It’s a 17 hour drive.” Marya nodded. Van’s eyes dragged over her body, face twisting in concern. “I’ll be back soon.”
van could use some extra hands around the nut. this is, apparently, everyone else's problem

Summary
Marya ended up with both the waistcoat and holster, as she was likely going to be staying in place in the audience. She, somehow, also ended up with Maxwell’s shirt, jacket, and waistcoat. How did the kid wear so many clothes?
“Y’know what? My name’s not actually Maxwell Gotch. It’s The Max. Write it down, remember it."
or: marya is protective of van and maxwell in very different ways

Summary
"you can have anything that you want from me" (october, the crane wives)
"you try so loud to love me, i cannot seem to hear" (that unwanted animal, the amazing devil)Marya Junková was distracted. This was not always as disastrous as it was now. The ship, of course, would be fine- she had notched the wheel and Comfrey was near enough that she could redirect should it be needed.
No, this time it was disastrous for Marya’s own heart. -

Summary
Marya barely understood her own motivation for stopping by. A good captain knows her crew. Could she truly call herself a good captain, cursed as she was? She knew, in her shameful heart, that she did not want to know this man, that she had bought him along because the way her heart ached to see them together felt like a new way she could punish herself. Watching them together, a whole private history between them, hurt more than she thought it would. Poke the bruise, twist the knife.

Summary
“Relax, lovey.” Bert said. “Let us take care of you.” Bert was always far gentler with Van than Marya was. Good. She deserves that.
Marya finally got Van’s shirt off, only to then be faced with yet another task- Van’s corset cover and corset.
“Van, why do you wear so many layers? Just wear your corset on the outside of your shirt,” Marya said.
“I think we both well know why I can’t do that,” Van said, and Marya laughed.i did so so much research for this shit don't look at me. thank you bernadette banner that video about your combinations was quite helpful.

Summary
Van tried to return to staring out at the sky, tried to focus her mind and her breathing. But when she gazed out to the endless expanse of clouds, the sky both close enough to touch and completely unreachable, the vastness of it overwhelmed her. It was all suddenly too much, the sky like the ocean, blue and vast and uncaring.
Bert can't fix how scared and anxious Van is, but having him around certainly helps.
