Summary
“I don’t dream,” Wolfwood said, lifting one shoulder in a shrug.
Meryl drummed her fingers against the steering wheel, her sharp eyes meeting Vash’s through the glass of the rearview mirror.
Wolfwood rarely talked in his sleep, but sometimes his lips moved, forming the shape of words like stop and don’t and please. His long lashes would flutter over the high arch of his cheekbones as he shivered and twitched, knees pulled up towards his chest like he was trying to make himself small. Vash had reached for him, once, fingertips barely skimming across the line of Wolfwood’s arm before he bolted upright, the whites of his eyes flashing wildly in the dark.
Vash and Meryl try to bring Wolfwood in from the cold. Told in seven parts.

Summary
You cannot have them, the alien says again. They are not yours.
Shiro dares to lift his eyes, pushing past the new wave of nausea that rises up when he forces himself to look at the alien’s horrible, twisted face. “They’re not yours, either.”
Existing outside the laws of reality, an alien takes the paladins hostage when they inadvertently stumble into their realm. Shiro makes a deal to win the others back, agreeing to walk to the ends of the creature’s domain, unaware of the trials he'll be faced with along the way. The terms are simple: if he succeeds he may take whatever he wishes, but if he refuses to go on or can be tempted into looking back, his friends will vanish and be lost to him forever. [Inspired by the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.]
