Summary
Knives is sick. Dying, actually. After the end of TriMax, Vash takes him across Gunsmoke to find somewhere that Knives deems fitting for his last resting place — by small towns, past bustling November City, and through hundreds of iles of empty desert. In the end, they find themselves where they began: the site of the Big Fall. On this last road trip, Vash and Knives grapple with everything between them and everything they've lost, with the ghost of Rem at their backs.
Or: on loving your brother more than you ever should have, and hating him more than anyone else in the world.

Summary
Via Raditz’s broken scouter, Bulma tries to recover access to Planet Trade networks and technologies to get an upper hand against the androids. But in so doing, she discovers Raditz’s private files—writings and recordings he kept for himself over his long travels with Vegeta and Nappa under Freeza. Tales of their exploits and descent into madness come to change her perception of Vegeta and her relationship with him.
Homeworld Lost is a novel-length dark science-fantasy story with explicit violence, horror, and erotica (sometimes simultaneously). Generally canon compliant. Explores Vegeta’s backstory under the Planet Trade Organization and his fraught relationships with his comrades, particularly the twisted bond he and Raditz share. Most of the story is narrated by Raditz, but there are lots of twists. He is an unreliable narrator, and in places, altered mental states allow him to take other points of view. We also get interludes from Bulma as she reads and reacts to Raditz's account.

Summary
"Vash," he said, even though drawing in a breath deep enough to speak hurt so much that he'd almost prefer to be stabbed again, "What did I do?"
"Back talked. Nobody likes that," Vash lilted. Oh, he wanted to slap him, but he couldn't lift his arm. He stared instead, until Vash's expression went thin and his fingers found Nai's jaw. Even if he hadn't been able to feel the rasp in his song, he'd have known by the tension in his fingertips that his brother was angry with him again. Or not with him - with him. Or perhaps with him after all. "I said not to worry about it, Nai," he said. "And I meant it."
Knives has been emptied of everything - and that leaves Vash nowhere to put his grief.
