    Summary

    The first time he saw him he was sniffling in an alley wearing a grubby once-white dress. Wolfwood had been on his own for about two weeks at that point.

    He had gotten some okay work as a farmhand for an old man, assisting with the thomas chicks. The pay was nothing but he got to stay in the barn and the chicks were fun to corral, eager little things.

    That’s what the boy reminded him of, a tiny thomas chick, crying and huddled in a corner.

    Summary

    During a game of cards, an older man spoke of his grandmother who’d seen a man that’d looked like a shooting star running through her fields of wheat and saltgrass, only to vanish at the town’s eastern border. From what she’d seen of him, he’d looked too sad to make a wish on, and she hadn’t much liked the idea of wishing on a dead man in the first place.

    The story hadn’t been much of anything. It certainly didn’t tie to the lake in any concrete way, and it didn’t mention July, and it didn’t have the tension that every other rumor did.

    But Nicholas finds himself in some stranger’s grandmother’s hometown north of July anyway, a couple hours’ ride up a highway that looked to be maintained only by the grace of God and hand-mixed pitch. It’s bigger than July, but that isn’t saying much. Its defining feature is a bar that markets itself as a Real Western Saloon, complete with swinging doors and a dusty piano that plays two hairs offkey to keep the tunes jaunty. What’d once been those saltgrass and wheat fields sport maize these days, and they stretch for yarz down the highway.

    When he breathes in, he can taste lakesand against his tongue. He presses it to the roof of his mouth as a reminder, as an omen.

    Summary

    Father Nicholas D. Wolfwood is appointed as the new vicar of a tiny island chapel a hundred miles from his home.

    He hates the sand. He hates the ocean. His only comforts have been hand rolled cigarettes from the market and his one friend, local bartender Meryl Stryfe.

    But he quickly makes another.

    -

    “Well, how can I refuse?”

    “Can’t. Sorry. You are now legally required to call me by my first name.”

    “Fortunately it’s quite a nice one.”

    Oh, no. Wolfwood might be in trouble here.

    Summary

    It was Christmas Eve, babe, in the drunk tank. Where Vash, alone at the end of his road, is haunted by four spirits. (Well, one spirit. Four of one spirit. Though they're not really the same, it's more like--okay it's Wolfwood. Wolfwoods. Wolveswood. There's four of them.) Will Vash heed their (his? their?) message?

    Summary

    It goes without saying that an orphan like Nicholas has never seen a Plant. From illustrations and descriptions, he imagines it as some sort of bulb or glowing ball suspended in a tank. They’re so rare and protected these days, kept away from the grubby little hands of anyone who doesn’t live in a major city.

    But somehow, Nicholas knows what he’s looking at now isn’t a Plant. Even from the other end of the room he can see arms and legs and something human in there, swathed in something else.

    Nicholas, all at once, is overcome with a sensation he’s only ever felt once before. Looking at the thing in the tank, his voice dies in his throat, overcome with a need to be quiet, to not disturb it. Not quite fear, but something so reverent every animal instinct in his brain begs him to obey. That not-Plant is something else. Not human. Not worm. Not alive and not dead. Something other.

    Something greater.

    Summary

    Vash is a mess, a trainwreck in the middle of nowhere, and most days Wolfwood feels too much like the shell of a man, haunted by his own damnation, to find their way out.

    A rare thing, then, to walk into a sandstorm and see the oasis at its heart.

    Summary

    Sir Nicholas the Punisher has been charged with a mission: enter the Forgotten Woods, track and trap the Beast Lord who lives there, and return it, alive, to the cult of the God-Emperor. The land is dying of a mysterious blight, and only the support of a few unhealthy Plants is keeping the last scraps of humanity alive. According to the Emperor, only the sacrifice of the Beast Lord will renew the land and save everyone.

    Nicholas is wholly unprepared for what, and who, he finds in the woods.

    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

    Livio bumps his shoulder against Wolfwood’s. He jerks his head towards the dance floor, where a good number of pretty people are taking the stage. “I’m gonna go see what’s out there. Go find yourself a hot twink to fuck or something.”

    “What makes you think I’m fuckin’ twinks?” Wolfwood shouts over the music.

    “You leave your computer open too much,” Livio grins.

    Summary

    Any conversation that starts at three in the morning isn’t going to be a good one. Wolfwood’s been through enough shit in his life to know that, so he doesn’t have high hopes when Vash opens the door to their little screened balcony with his phone screen lit up and his brows furrowed.

    Wolfwood blows smoke from his cigarette. Neither of them should be awake, but Wolfwood’s never been good at keeping a sleep schedule, and he knows Vash is even worse.

    Wolfwood breaks the silence first. “What’re you doing up?”

    “I need your help.”

    Summary

    “What are you so mad about?

    It wasn’t even noon and the day was hot. Vash had woken up wilted, definitely not prepared for Wolfwood’s ire.

    “Take me out,” Wolfwood barks out as he stalks closer. “Get it off of me.”

    “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

    Vash doesn’t, really. He could be talking about anything at this point. There’s no way for Vash to confirm or deny that he’s got his cock locked up like a jail cell.

    “You know… count’s not for another 15 minutes…” Nai can hear the maddening smirk in Wolfwood’s voice. “How about a quick one?”
    “Absolutely not.”
    “Don’t be like that.”
    A shit-eating grin, a lollipop unwrapped and tucked behind milk-white teeth.

    “Just imagine I’m your brother.”

    Summary

    Meryl can't reconcile within her mind, a seraphic face and the eyes of a sufferer. "Well?" she asks again because she can't help herself. Everyone has a daemon on Gunsmoke, and the absence of one is jarring.

    His smile strains. "It's complicated," says Vash, because it always is.

    Daemons are part of whatever normalcy has been left of Earth, carried over light centuries by humanity. Records through time on No Man's Land claim that the notorious Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede, does not, in fact, have one.

    “I want to make a deal,” Wolfwood says. He keeps his voice steady despite the overwhelming sense of helplessness that washes over him. He’s like an insect, walking up to God and asking for a miracle.

    Summary

    Vash kisses him and it’s like dying. Not the pain of it, but the certainty. Like this was inevitable, despite the odds, despite the vastness of the universe, the coil of time, the fact that Vash is a myth long forgotten and Wolfwood is just one human among millions scattered through the stars. Vash threads his fingers through Wolfwood’s coarse hair, tugs him even closer. Pours the past five centuries of grief into the slide of their lips, licking into the heat of Wolfwood’s mouth, swallowing down the salt of communion wafers and the bitter aftertaste of wine. A mouthful of holiness for the most damned man in the universe.

    ***

    Five hundred years after the end of the world, Wolfwood finds him.

    Summary

    (“you’ve been shot,” said Vash the Stampede, who shouldn’t’ve been there, who’d run away from home under Elendira’s watch at least two years before, maybe even longer ago than that. Nicholas had only seen him once or twice, but a face like that had been unforgettable.

    very astute.” There’d been copper and iron on his tongue, past his lips. “thanks for telling me.”

    Vash’s hands covered his own and pressed down harder, his frown covering his whole face—furrowing his eyebrows, twisting his lips, scrunching his nose. Twins someone had told him at onboarding or whatever had passed for it, but the resemblance was passing. This had been someone different, distinct and disarming. A face broken in by softer expressions.

    keep that energy,” blood had been welling through Vash’s fingers, slower than it had been. The City said nothing in return. “i think i can fix this.”

    can i see your credentials?” His breath had blown bubbles through his chest. —and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning—are you qualified for that?

    i misspoke. you can take that energy down, like, half-a-watt.”)
