    Summary

    The first time Nicholas sees the guy it almost kills him, right there and then. Quite literally.

    You see, these kind of things just happen to him. He’s come to the conclusion, after strenuous research into his own misfortune, troubles, and tribulations, that the universe must be rearing up for some big cosmic joke, one of astronomical proportions, and he’s the punchline of it. The idea that some higher being put him on this bitch of an earth to serve as a barometer for transcendental humor for whichever other beings might need a little pick-me-up, let it be entropy or just the vast vacuum of space, is the only thing that would explain why, in the middle of a perfectly good breakfast, doing nothing more than just sipping his coffee and listening to Livio ramble on and on about some long deceased Norwegian poet or another, his wayward gaze wanders around the cafeteria and lands on one guy in particular, The guy, and he promptly chokes on his breakfast, sending spit and croissants crumbs and coffee droplets flying everywhere on the table.

    Cosmic laughter ensues, he’s sure.

     

    Or, the college au nobody asked for but that maybe – just maybe – someone might need.

    Summary

    "By themselves those impressions wouldn’t be enough to trigger this inkling of… wrongness clinging to Vash like desert dust. For how prone he is to depressive mood swings, Vash smiles often and everywhere. No matter if he’s getting shot at, betrayed, kicked to the dirt and spit on — he picks himself up and laughs and keeps going, keeps outrunning the shadow of his brother towards a perpetually uncertain horizon.

    Nobody wears fake cheer that well without something to hide."

    Glimpse by glimpse, the gang pieces together who Vash the Stampede really is.

    Summary

    All of this led Vash to where he currently found himself: three drinks in and listening to the small cracks of the full glasses in his hands as his gaze moved across a roaring fire in the middle of the town square to land on Wolfwood, his shirt unbuttoned, his jacket long gone, and his sleeves pushed to his elbows as he moved his hips to the rhythm of the band.

    Summary

    Legato throws his head back and moans, coming all over his hand. He is panting, mind cloudy after his orgasm, so he only registers his master’s proximity once Knives has a hand on his hair, making Legato look at him. He brushes a thumb over Legato’s cheek, a gesture so delicate that Legato is sure violence is to follow. But all Knives does is stare at him.

    “I understand it now,” he says and Legato remembers the first time Knives had him on his knees. It feels both an eternity ago and like it just happened. Now, he waits for his master to tell him to go again, but he adds: “Why humans like beautiful things.”

    (Legato has never been more confused and never more in love.)
