    Summary

    “What is that look for?”

    Vash jolts suddenly, his hand (regrettably stopping its petting) sliding to rest over Nick’s chest. He blinks a few times, confused at being addressed. When Nicholas doesn’t offer any other prompting Vash opens his mouth and then closes it.

    “What look?”

    Summary

    “It’s really not a deal breaker?” He sounded so surprised it made Nick’s temper raise at whatever asshole made Vash question himself like this.

    Nick shook his head slowly from side to side, getting his anger under control and channeling it into something more productive.

    Vash stayed silent as he mulled Nick’s words in his mind.

    “Okay. Just don’t laugh at me.”

    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

    Among darkness, sepia lenses flash subtly—in the light of the sister moons Vash's turtleneck creases under his fingers. His index and thumb massage the place where neck meets clavicle and rubs, absent, eyes thousands of iles away where Nicholas cannot go. Nicholas doesn't remember the last time he paid such rapt attention to another man's habits; nevermind the jackknife desire to have his throat trapped between his own hands.

    I need something more
    I need something more'

    Summary

    Despite Wolfwood watching Vash like a circling vulture these days, it takes him almost a week to notice anything is actually wrong. They've all gone through plenty of fits of moodiness before, but this...

    Vash looks up at the sky for the hundredth time that day, forehead pressed morosely against the window, and sighs, like he's waiting for his husband to return from the worm wars or something.

    Summary

    “Ah hey now… Aren’t you always asking me to tell you more stories?” Vash defends himself, and Wolfwood chokes on smoke during his inhale. Rude bastard, using his tactics against him. He doesn’t ask because he wants to be entertained damnit. Time to fluster him back then, Wolfwood concludes. He reaches behind himself and manages to shut the door, and the entire room goes silent as the sound from the downstairs casino gets muffled.

    “Other stories, Vash,” Wolfwood kicks his boot again, and Vash nudges back with a playful smile, head still tilted. He looks innocent, cheeks flushed... he smiles sweetly when he understands the kick is an inquiry for a different tale.

    “Like what?” Vash can indulge. Wolfwood is one of the few he bothers telling his past experiences to anyway. What could Wolfwood ask that he wouldn’t feel comfortable telling him at this point?

    “How was your first time?”

    Summary

    Wolfwood looks different. Different than even the hundreds of ghosts—threads of shimmering grey shot through his temples and fine lines splintered out around his eyes like someone dragged a feather through damp clay. Like he’s aged almost decade in the year since he—

    “Died,” Vash rasps. “You died.”

    Wolfwood’s eyebrows shoot up in an expression that Vash has remembered so many times that his own faulty memory rewrote over the real thing.

    “This isn’t—how?” he asks, voice warping around the cold static clogging his mouth.

    “You ever hear of Jesus Christ?” Wolfwood grins, and it’s exactly the same. Like no time has passed. Like he’s so proud of his stupid joke. Like Vash didn’t lay his still-warm corpse in the ground and bury him on the other side of that building.

    Like the inexorable inspiral of a binary star, Vash is drawn back to the orphanage in December and the unexpectedly empty grave of his dearest friend.

    Or, Vash and Wolfwood and all their tomorrows.

    Summary

    Vash pauses at the door when they reach it, but Wolfwood blows past him, catching him by the elbow to pull him over the threshold. Vash’s yelp of surprise is covered by the thump of Wolfwood kicking the door shut behind them, and whatever noise he was going to make next is swallowed by the click of the lock.

    “I’m gonna kiss you,” Wolfwood announces.

    "Oh.” Vash recognizes the tone beneath the words—the way Wolfwood will sometimes say something out loud to gauge whether it should happen or not. It’s usually along the lines of “I’m gonna knock your teeth in.” It’s never been kissing before.

    But now the moment’s here, and Vash is woefully unprepared. He should have realized when he caught Wolfwood giving him that look as he picked himself up off the ground—a look that Vash wouldn’t dare call “smitten” out loud, even if it was the only word that came to mind. Wishful thinking, right?

    Wrong.

    Summary

    Haven isn’t a place where you’d expect miracles to happen, so when Vash arrives with Meryl and Milly, he’s expecting a quiet few days to relax while the girls research their next story. He’s not prepared to find Nicholas D. Wolfwood, the man he mourned and buried two years ago, moving and breathing and very much alive. And also missing all of his memories.

    To Nico, Haven is home. He might not remember his past or the kind of person he was before he stumbled into Haven’s welcoming arms, but he’s happy. Sometimes, he’s not sure he wants to know any of that seeing as his first memory is digging himself out of the grave. But when Vash the Stampede comes to town, he raises all kinds of questions about who Nico really is and he’s determined to get answers. Even if the idiot keeps trying to dodge him.

    A story about finding home, rediscovering love, and finally using your blank ticket to the future.

    Summary

    Vash Saverem is the head stylist and co-owner of Who Let the Dogs Sprout?, a hole-in-the-wall grooming salon and pet supply boutique in beautiful, sunny, July City.

    Nicholas D. Wolfwood is new in town, fresh off the plane from December, and he's in desperate need of a patient and willing groomer to make his beloved dog, Angelina, not look like a giant walking mop.

    Vash likes working with nervous dogs almost as much as he likes meeting cowboys who wear all black. Wolfwood likes guys with goofy smiles and stupid hair almost as much as he likes his big ol' nervous dog.

    What a coincidence!

    Summary

    Vash’s face went pale, having the decency to at least know he fucked up. “Don’t look at me like that!” Vash squeaked.

    “Like what?” Wolfwood grinned back, eyes reflecting a stream of tortuous thoughts. “Like you’re going to…do something!” Vash yelped, squirming in his bindings.

    “I’ll make you a deal,” Wolfwood laughed evilly, still on his knees between Vash’s legs, “you don’t make a SINGLE peep for a minute straight, and I’ll stop teasing you. You break within a minute, and I’m gonna play with you until you cry.”

    Vash eeped, barking back, “I don’t agree to that!!”
    “Wasn’t asking.” Wolfwood smirked, grabbing Vash by the hips
    --
    It's Wolfwood's turn to come to the rescue after Vash is taken hostage. It's not every day he gets his hands on a bound Vash, now is it? Idiots in love being horny and cute, and neither of the realized how ticklish Vash is until it's too late

    Summary

    As with many things in their lives, it started with a shootout. Always a damn shootout, with Nick yelling, Vash pleading, and their blood pounding in their ears, hearts in their throats. And as with many things in their lives, it ended in harsh breaths and hands smeared with blood.

    Loving someone was a dangerous and bloody business. It was going to get him killed.

    Summary

    Vash has the lung capacity of a man who’s cried for 150 years.

    It isn't like Wolfwood takes more than he gives — but like with most things, he barely keeps up with Vash. He works his body to the limit, even as his lungs burn and his legs and arms give out under him. They fuck like they’re on borrowed time.

    All of this makes it so easy — so much easier than just talking. Wolfwood would sometimes rather pull new and interesting noises from Vash with just his mouth than do anything else with it. Their own dialect: moans, groans, and four words. “Yes” — “Please” — “Vash” — “Wolfwood.”
