    Summary

    Though not an endemic species, Plants can be highly prolific under the right conditions. Propagation takes patience, practice, and a lack of homicidal tendencies. Subjects ‘Vash’ and ‘Knives’ do not always meet these qualifications.

    Summary

    “Is it going to hurt?” Vash asks quietly. He holds his blanket tightly to his chest, watching his brother arrange the pillows and blankets on his bed. They’d both grown up knowing this day would come, but he can’t and won’t lie; he’s a little afraid.

    Nai pauses with his work.

    Summary

    The blue of his eyes was startling and pale, wide as Knives stared. Feathers fanned from his hair and gracefully swooped down his back. It was clear his powers had awakened and were stable, no cannon growing in place of his arm, but Vash was unsure what the hell was actually going on. His tongue drew back into his mouth.

    Wincing, Vash tried to free one of his shoulders to go for the gun at his hip. “At least if you explode, no one’s around but me…”

    Knives pushed his claw into Vash to hold him still, drawing a spot of red up from his skin. Vash huffed breath and curled his arm up to scratch his brother’s feathered forearm. He made a noise like an engine.

    “What the- Knives!”

    Vash jerked as the tongue came out again, sliding into the puncture and lapping up the blood Vash spilled. His face pinched briefly, then he shook his head. “What the hell is wrong with you?” Vash’s Gate had never made him act like this.

    Summary

    His fingers work aimlessly along Vash’s ankle. There’s a scar on his instep, puckered and shiny. It’s rough against his thumb. He’d never expected Vash’s tears to be tears of gratitude; he’d never been that foolish, to think his brother wouldn’t rage against necessity, but he’d held such unshakeable faith in their bond. Perhaps if Rem hadn’t -

    “Knives,” Vash says. There’s a note of warning in his voice. He pulls his foot away, and Knives can only look at his empty hands. Soft, unscarred hands.

    He knows the words will upset Vash before they crowd onto his tongue, but still, they spill out. He’s never outright lied to Vash; he’s never wanted to.

    Though his chest has gone tight, he says, “It felt necessary at the time.”
