    Summary

    Obligatory MerMay posting for my current favorite: Vash the Stampede.

    "Do you really think introducing a breeder to that tank is a good idea? Millions Knives is highly dangerous and incredibly territorial," she sighed, watching as the older man kicked his feet up onto the coffee table of the staff lounge.

    "Newbie, you don't know this place like I do. I've seen every outcome introducing mers to each other can yield, good and bloody. I've got the scars from managing it. Trust me when I say, that fish ain't half as mean as he seems. Stick the shark in there, give it some time, and he won't be at the top of the food chain."

    "But is that a good idea? They're critically endangered," she emphasized as he lit up a cigarette.

    "Nobody's seen a lionfish species in centuries, and now we got two in our lap. One of which is very sociable. The only compatible breeder is the shark," he explained before taking a long drag and puffing out the smoke. "Besides, he's the only one that brute might not kill if Typhoon likes him."

    Summary

    “I don’t deserve–”

    The slap echoed across the arid expanse like a thunderclap. Open palm. Flapping jaw. The resulting silence was somehow even louder. Vash gingerly reached up to touch his reddening cheek, looking as surprised as Wolfwood felt.

    “That more like it, huh? That what you think you fuckin’ deserve?” One hand raked over Vash’s undercut and seized a fistful of his stupid hair, wrenching his head back. Hard. Hard enough that the cry of pain that Vash was biting back slipped free, sharpened by the shock of it. There was something else in his sunny-day gaze, too, something underneath the shame and the sting. It looked a lot like hope. Naked trust. It made him fucking sick.

    “You wanna hurt, Blondie?” his whisper held the gravity of forty years spent doling out pain with surgical precision. “‘Cause I can do that for ya.”

    Vash's constant martyrdom is really starting to piss Wolfwood off.

    Summary

    A power greater than God or any of man’s creations sparked across wing tips, sending the hair on the back of Wolfwood’s neck standing on edge in anticipation. One wrong move and Wolfwood would be nothing but ash and dust.

    Summary

    The edelweiss is an alpine flower representing devotion, sacrifice, and true love.

    Nicholas D. Wolfwood figured hunting down the Typhoon was just another job. But the enigmatic outlaw intrigued him, shook the very tenets his life was built upon. He figured the brothers were lost, annihiliated in the blast that took the city of July. Maybe it was better that way - he wouldn’t have to confront the growing uncertainty in his heart.

    The destruction of July shook more than just the planet - ancient interdimensional forces grind into motion, catalyzed by the two brothers. When faced by hopeless annihilation, Vash must come to terms with difficult truths.

    Summary

    “Ah hey now… Aren’t you always asking me to tell you more stories?” Vash defends himself, and Wolfwood chokes on smoke during his inhale. Rude bastard, using his tactics against him. He doesn’t ask because he wants to be entertained damnit. Time to fluster him back then, Wolfwood concludes. He reaches behind himself and manages to shut the door, and the entire room goes silent as the sound from the downstairs casino gets muffled.

    “Other stories, Vash,” Wolfwood kicks his boot again, and Vash nudges back with a playful smile, head still tilted. He looks innocent, cheeks flushed... he smiles sweetly when he understands the kick is an inquiry for a different tale.

    “Like what?” Vash can indulge. Wolfwood is one of the few he bothers telling his past experiences to anyway. What could Wolfwood ask that he wouldn’t feel comfortable telling him at this point?

    “How was your first time?”
