    Summary

    Wolfwood could ignore it. Or, well, maybe he could have. If this were any other city. Any other night. Any other song, even, because it’s one that Vash knows—Vash, whose eyes light up even behind his stupid glasses, even more bright cyan than the neon, than clear desert sky at high noon.

    Because that’s the problem. Has been all along. That it can’t be, could never be, anyone other than Vash the goddamn Stampede who looks at him like that.

    Between the start of Julai and the end of it, Vash and Wolfwood see if either one of them can get drunk. Or: a last supper, of sorts.

    Summary

    Nicholas realizes they haven't eaten in hours when his stomach lurches in loud delight at the sight of food. Vash nudges the basket in his direction wordlessly and settles back against the stitched padding, shoulders broad, straight, as he watches the rest of the bar with a distant expression. The ice bobs inside his glass when he shifts weight to the side—like this his profile is shadowed and starkly defined, a straight nose and lashes for ages and highset cheekbones, features handsome enough to tempt anyone. Nicholas polishes half of the food with little effort, and can't help himself:

    "So you're an obstetrician now."

    Summary

    Astarion's blood is dark, left to sit idle in his veins for far too long. Whether flowing from a vein or an artery, his blood never sprays, just oozes.

    Maybe Astarion is just rubbing off on him, but Wyll has to wonder how it tastes. Has to wonder what it would mean, to drink it.

    Summary

    Vash kisses him and it’s like dying. Not the pain of it, but the certainty. Like this was inevitable, despite the odds, despite the vastness of the universe, the coil of time, the fact that Vash is a myth long forgotten and Wolfwood is just one human among millions scattered through the stars. Vash threads his fingers through Wolfwood’s coarse hair, tugs him even closer. Pours the past five centuries of grief into the slide of their lips, licking into the heat of Wolfwood’s mouth, swallowing down the salt of communion wafers and the bitter aftertaste of wine. A mouthful of holiness for the most damned man in the universe.

    ***

    Five hundred years after the end of the world, Wolfwood finds him.
