    Summary

    No incidents getting into town and the building the Plant resides in. Only a few folks gave them a look as they made their way to a desolate part of the town where the Plant was located. Wolfwood thinks no one gave them a double-take so this mission should be a piece of cake.

    Keyword: Should.

    Or, Vash is fatigued from healing Plants and they run into people looking to collect his bounty.

    Summary

    Summary

    What happens when you invite a street musician to perform in your bar?

    Nicholas isn't prepared for the typhoon the blonde brings to his doorstep, and he slowly comes to realize that there is much, much more to Vash than meets the eye, the songs merely a curtain to hide the many secrets he holds.

    He breathed in deeply through his nose, and out through his mouth. “What would I even do, Meryl?”

    She shrugged, closing her laptop. “Well you know our professors don’t take attendance, why don’t you audit some stuff?”

    “To be clear- by ‘audit’ you mean ‘sneak in, sit in the back, and hope no one notices the sudden new addition of a 6-foot blonde guy’, yeah?

    Summary

    Nicholas Wolfwood is a man of infallible faith, according to his own words.

    He is a man of the cloth, a man of virtue, a man whose darkened gaze and roguish looks have entrapped a congregation sizable for a backwater town just south of New Miami, a beacon of light in the one place on Gunsmoke where the sun never rises. The glitz and the neon of the city refuse to spill over to the place Wolfwood calls home, which works all the well, because it seems to need no help in attracting other strange things into town.

    Summary

    It’s perfectly normal for them to split up in the heat of a skirmish; after all, a small and nimble target is harder to hit. And it’s equally normal for it to take a few hours for the dust to settle afterwards - and for them to find each other again amongst the wreckage of whatever has somehow remained standing.

    But this…..This is far from normal.

    In the beginning, in those first few days of frantic searching - Nicholas steadfastly refuses to believe that Vash could possibly be dead.

    But it’s been two weeks, and hope is a fickle thing.

    Summary

    Nicholas is the only one who's seen Vash without his heavy layers of clothes, knowing full-well about the myriad of scars and wounds underneath. Their consequences, he assumes, are mostly in the past-tense as Vash has healed and moved on. But after an aggressive storm approaches after brewing in the distance for days, he's given a sharp reminder that injuries like the ones Vash has sustained rarely fade forever.

    Time always seems to digs up old, nasty things to hurt people with, and Vash the Stampede is not one to be spared from the agonies of life.

    Summary

    'Wolfwood didn't want Vash to know, because knowing meant vulnerability, it meant sharing more when he was better, it meant having to explain why they'd found each other in the first place. Telling him meant Vash would likely find out about why he'd kept so close to him, what his mission was- Wolfwood couldn't even forgive himself for it, he wasn’t wrapped up in himself enough to ask Vash to.

    Yet, when he looked at him and, through unclear vision, noticed the tension in his shoulders, the jaw locked tight, scrunched eyebrows and eyes glossed over with premature grief, Wolfwood decided he'd rather be hated as the man he is than loved as someone he'd never been. '

    or

    Vash comes the closest he's ever been to losing Wolfwood. Adrenaline and hurt make them unravel things about themselves they never thought possible.

    Summary

    In over the hundred and fifty-one years he had lived, he had more scars than years, no matter how small. Vash remembered them all and how he got them but never regretted them. It showed that he fought and that every scar was his price for love and peace. And it was a price Vash never hesitated to pay.

    Or: How Vash views his scars and how much Wolfwood doesn't really care about them.
