    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

    Fear gripped Wolfwood’s heart when he saw Vash silhouetted against the dying light: a shambling, semi-divine smoking gun brought low from the heavens. And then Vash stumbled on a rock and went down in an ungainly flutter of wings, and Wolfwood relaxed. Same old idiot.

    Summary


    They’d spent days on the road, unsatisfying nights spent curled up on the dirt anticipating the soft bed waiting for them in this middle-of-nowhere town on the outskirts of the Great Sand Ocean.

     

    With Vash being the butt of the world’s oldest joke, nothing ever seems to go to plan.

    ~*~

    Wolfwood and Vash try to recover after a harrowing ordeal in a nowhere town. Secrets are revealed and Wolfwood sees a side of Vash he's not sure he was ever meant to see.

    Summary

    Vash the Stampede is likely the most annoying asshole he’s ever met in his life.

    He’s about as spindly as a scarecrow and as resilient as a damn cockroach, popping back up when it’s most inconvenient for Gasback. Ruining his plans or being a general nuisance, more of a cracked out clown than any kind of legendary gunman, his marksmanship be damned. He’d have anyone else’s head already for half the shit Vash has pulled but—well.

    He’s a lot prettier stuffed on his cock than he is dead.

    Summary

    “Think I’ve been pretty good with things so far. Little hard to believe you don’t have some harsh opinions if you’re making assumptions like that about me.”

    He takes off his jacket and lays it over the table. Vash makes a small sound of distress so he moves back over while rolling up his sleeves.

    “Wolfwood, I don’t, I didn’t mean..”

    “Yeah,” Nick sighs, reaching to cup one of the other man’s cheeks. “I know. Just trust me for a bit, yeah?”

    Summary

    Then Wolfwood reaches for Vash's bowl, untouched, and Vash wilts. Of course, Wolfwood wouldn't let him get away with that. He edges backward surreptitiously. Wolfwood notices. Of course he does.

    Wolfwood carelessly scoops a bite and holds it up to Vash's face. "Eat. We start at 30 lashes. Every bite you take reduces it by one."

    Summary

    Only to watch Vash crumple to the ground, only a yard or two away from him, body placed directly between Wolfwood and the gun pointed at his chest.

    Time stops. Or seems to. Wolfwood becomes vividly, almost painfully aware of the sensation of his own heartbeat, stuttering uselessly against his ribcage as this overwhelming heat rises from his stomach and spikes through his damn chest. His hands clench at his sides, and for a moment he is frozen, unable to do anything but watch Vash soar towards the ground, his prosthetic arm extended to soften the fall.

    Somehow Wolfwood manages to blink. Then his feet and hands are moving. Everything else happens in flashes: He closes the distance. He catches Vash before he hits the ground. His gun is back in his hand and he’s firing it, once to knock the offending weapon away and once to incapacitate its user. He doesn’t check to see if the bullet hits home, if it’s lethal or nonlethal. In fact, Wolfwood can barely feel his own skin, much less hear or see.

    Summary

    Spring never comes to wasteland planets like No Man's Land. But, this year, with Vash panting against his back and desperately clawing at the open expanse of his shirt, Wolfwood finds his marker for spring.

    "Hold on Tongari," he sweet talks around the edge of a cigarette. "Almost there."

    "Wolfwood–" Vash pants as he squirms behind him. "Please."

    Summary

    Upon reentering the bedroom, Wolfwood sees that Vash is still sitting on the bed, gaze distant. He doesn’t stir until Wolfwood is standing right next to him, at which point he blinks and looks up, then has the audacity to grin.

    “Something on my face?”

    “Yeah,” Wolfwood grunts, reaching out to twig Vash’s nose. “Blood. Go. Wash.”

    “But my shoulder,” Vash whines. “How am I supposed to bathe when I can’t even lift my arm?”

    “How did you reach a million years old not knowing how to wash yourself?” Wolfwood asks incredulously. “Do you just sit around looking pathetic until some idiot comes along and takes pity on you?”

    Carefully, like he’s saying something sensitive, Vash says, “That depends, I guess… Is it working?”

    Summary

    He closes his eyes on the next drag. The cigarette is helping, but Wolfwood still feels—not nervous, exactly, but restless. There’s an itch in his veins, a tug, like he needs to get up and do something, but he just isn’t sure what. If Vash wanted company, he would’ve asked for it, right? He clearly needs to be alone right now, or he wouldn’t have retreated so quickly.

    On the other hand, Wolfwood can’t actually remember the last time Vash asked for something he needed. He’ll hide an injury before he’ll expect Wolfwood to tend to it for him, the obstinate ass. Wolfwood bites down on his cigarette in frustration, then stubs it against the nightstand. Maybe he should do something, but the idea of barging in there while Vash is taking time for himself gives him a headache.

    Wolfwood gets to his feet and glances at the door. “Blondie, you dead in there?”

    There’s a telling pause, and then Vash responds in an unnaturally even voice: “No, I’m not. Sorry, do you need to use it?”

    “No.” Wolfwood rolls his eyes. “Just lettin’ you know I’ll be right back.”

    Summary

    “I mean, what are your plans for today? Are you sending out flowers to anyone?” Millie looks at Vash with wide, earnest eyes, so Vash makes an intentional effort to stifle his automatic urge to snort. The only person Vash ever gives flowers to is his mother, and he wouldn’t send her a bouquet on Valentine’s Day. Truthfully, Vash thinks that even if there was someone out there who he was trying to confess to in that way, he probably wouldn’t do a bouquet. It’d just feel low-effort from someone who owns and operates a flower shop.

    Still, it’s Millie asking. “I didn’t plan to,” Vash says, drumming his fingers against the counter again. “I don’t have anything super interesting planned, though. I’ll work the rest of the day and lock up at the usual time. Then… I guess I have a TV dinner waiting for me back home.”

    “A TV dinner!” Millie gasps, scandalised. “Mr. Vash, that’s sad!”

    “Ahaha, I know.” But it’s better than burning his house down. Vash clears his throat.

    Summary

    Wolfwood exhales through his teeth. “Alright, enough. What’s with you?”

    Vash startles at the question. “Huh? What do you mean?”

    “You can’t be that dense.” Wolfwood folds his arms across his chest. “You’ve gotta be at least a little self-aware. There’s something going on with you today, Needle-Noggin. What is it?”

    Tellingly, Vash doesn’t respond right away, even to deny it. His mouth opens and closes, and he looks back down at the floor, his jaw working. Wolfwood lets him think, even if he’s sure that whatever Vash is working up the courage to say, it won’t be the full truth. It doesn’t have to be. Granted, Vash insults both of their intelligence by telling such obvious fucking lies all the time—but it’s not like he owes Wolfwood anything. It would’ve ticked Wolfwood off to keep watching this without saying something, though.

    Something is clearly going on with Vash when he shows up for a study date with Wolfwood. Wolfwood struggles to find the best way to pry it out of him.

    Summary

    “Spikey,” Wolfwood responds, and snorts. Vash lets out another huff, indignant this time, but before he can grouse, Wolfwood comes over to where he’s still seated on the bed, propping a knee on the mattress and smoothing his hands along Vash’s shoulders. The touch makes him shiver, even through his shirt, Wolfwood is so warm. Gentle, too, when they’re like this. He pretends not to be—as if he thinks he isn’t capable of it—but the truth couldn’t be more evident.

    Vash lifts his hands, and hesitates before he can rest them at the curve of Wolfwood’s waist. He has an easier time touching when he knows Wolfwood is going to take charge, which almost makes him feel guilty. Just expressing interest must have been difficult enough, given Wolfwood’s reservations around any kind of intimacy at all. The thought is enough to spur Vash into action, flattening his palms and pulling Wolfwood closer, but Wolfwood grabs onto his wrist to stop him.

    “I said I’d bottom,” Wolfwood clarifies, in a low voice. “Never said that you’d be takin’ charge, Blondie.”

    Summary

    "When you said we were going undercover, Spikey, I expected a little bit more in the way of cover." Nicholas D. Wolfwood put both fists in the top edge of his bodysuit and pulled, but failed in any way to make the garment come even an inch further over his chest. Or in fact, to even reach his chest. The two pointy flaps of fabric were already hard-pressed to conceal both his nipples at the same time, and that was only if he stood very still and didn't breathe too deeply. "Didn't know it was gonna be one a'your harebrained--"

    "Harebrained!" Vash repeated, delighted, pausing in the act of adjusting his pair of fluffy white ears.

    Wolfwood put his face in his hand.

    Summary

    Not everyone deserved saving. Certainly not those who were so damn keen on dying. If pointy-haired gunslingers with a God complex wanted to throw away their one golden shot at a life lived — bully for them, or whatever. Plenty of other sad sacks here would swarm into the vacancies that martyrs left behind. There’d be little weeping over it either.

    Not everyone deserved saving, so Wolfwood couldn’t say why his shoe was burning a hole in the footwell as the van pitched and jolted across the pitted desert sweep. Or why his hair was dripping sweat into his eyes, a knot of something like nausea balled up under his sternum.

    Vash gets more than a little hurt. Wolfwood patches him up.

    Summary

    The Great Hall used to feel cold to Qifrey. But the cold and the dark were his oldest, most loyal companions.

    And then came Olruggio.

    *****

    “Are you ok? Did you get hurt- I didn’t burn you again, did I?”

    “No, no. Don’t worry. I just want to get to bed, is all.” Qifrey trailed off.

    But he made no motion to move.

    “Don’t lie to me- Just stay here with me tonight, Qifrey. You obviously don’t want to leave. And... I like having you here with me.”

    “Fine.” Qifrey grumbled defeatedly, as though Olruggio had insulted his pride rather than filled his chest with an anxious joy.

    Summary

    “They are quite the sight, Qifrey,” Beldaruit had begun, slouching a little into the pillow that supported his back. A fond smile on his lips, “Iridescent clouds are like rainbows in clouds, a phenomenon that occurs when the sunlight bends around the edge of cloud droplets and as a result the different colours that compose of the white light, diffract by different amounts.”

    Beldaruit looks at Qifrey with a bright grin, “It is truly beautiful, like a rainbow— or several colours beautifully wrapping around a cloud's edge.”

     

    Or, Qifrey finds out Beldaruit likes cotton candy-like rainbow clouds and decides that's going to be his farewell gift after the Fourth Test.
