    Summary

    Wolfwood looked back, staring at where their hands met, eyes barely widening, but expression otherwise unreadable. Vash couldn’t say it, couldn’t bring himself to ask, the selfishness of it stung like bile in his throat. He couldn’t bear to let go, either. Any attempt at words just echoed through the chasm inside him, bouncing back on themselves until it was white noise, pointless and empty and lost. He swallowed. It was late. They were both exhausted, and he was keeping Wolfwood here in the cold.

    “…please.”

    Summary

    Wolfwood wasn’t sure if it was too much drink or not enough that had resulted in Vash taking most of the bullets for himself. Regardless, no one else had been hurt, with nearly every shot fired lodged safely in Vash’s own sternum.

    Summary

    The pillow was soft beneath his head, the blanket warm, the moonlight gentle and sweet. He could just make out the low hum of the Home ship. This dream was- No.

    Vash shuddered in a breath, tensing up again. The more he relaxed now, the worse it would be for him later.

    Summary

    He woke up cold, shivering in the sweat sticky on his skin. Already he felt drained, sharp sparks of agony racing along the edges of his consciousness that told him one of his sisters, one very close, was being pushed toward her end. Vash could feel it. Every time.

    Summary

    “They made it clear they don’t care what condition they take you in, and I’m not rescuing a corpse.”

    “Mmm.. didn’t ask you to,” he murmured leaning his head back against the wall.

    “Vash!” Wolfwood hissed, alarmed at the tired tone he’d taken.

    “Wolfwood!” he hissed back, imitating his scolding tone. “I’m fine. Keep your voice down if you don’t want them to find us.”

    Summary

    “Don’t.”
    The soft horror in his voice pulled her up short, surprise finally pulling her eyes away from the window.
    “Don’t do that to yourself, don’t-,” don’t be like me. Don’t aspire to be like me.
    Of course Lina had noticed, kind and caring as she was.

    Summary

    Manual breathing was such a pain, but his crushed vocal cords were about to be a more immediate problem. Of course, Wolfwood was perceptive enough that maybe Vash could make do without talking for a little while.

    Summary

    An afternoon of lighthearted festival preparation turns darker when Wolfwood is asked to bless a house with a tragic history. What's dead is dead, he knows this, but the past has claws.

    Come! Begin your tale. There is a chill in the air, the wind is howling through the eaves, tell us of monsters.
