    Summary

    Every year, on Christmas Eve, a creative sadist calling himself Krampus livestreams a sick game – two unsuspecting victims are forced to fulfill a series of festive objectives, trying not to get slaughtered before their time runs out. Usually, Krampus's pawns of choice are ordinary civilians.

    This year, Krampus has set his sights a little higher.

    Summary

    Vash is pinned down.

    He should never have let it get this far, he'd let his guard down too much, snuck away from Wolfwood so he wouldn't have to contend with that look he gives him when Vash drinks too much.

    He shouldn't have drunk so much.

    He could get away, could flip the man pinning him down into the dirty, broken glass-riddled alleyway, but the gun nudging against his temple gives him pause. He's not sure he's faster than this man's trigger finger, the man's breath coming hot and nauseating against the back of his neck.

    He could get away though. Probably. If he could just make his limbs move. It's happened before, his mind and his body unsynced to the point where his limbs feel heavy and sluggish. He thinks maybe the man drugged his drink or maybe that's just wishful thinking, his own brain concocting a world where he isn't to blame for this.

    Summary

    Still, Wolfwood's been watching him. It's not something many other people would pick up on, and Wolfwood isn't sure how he feels about that, the way he can track the tension in Vash's frame from the way he holds his glass, from the way his boot kicks against Wolfwood's shoe.

    It's getting to be a little too much for him, watching Vash unspool in his own head, too wound up to even enjoy being in a town where everyone wants to talk to him and no one wants to shoot at him. He plucks the glass of whiskey that Vash has barely touched out of his hands and tips the liquid down his throat before setting it on the table.

    Vash is, predictably, getting ready to make a huge fuss, eyes gone wide and performative. Wolfwood, on instinct, claps a hand over the back of Vash's neck and squeezes.

    “We're done for the night, blondie,” he says in his most no-nonsense tone.

    Vash melts under his hand, all the fight oozing out of him. “Okay,” he says, and his voice is quiet, even.
