    Summary

    A house of his own. 

    The thought slams into Caleb with the force of a sledgehammer, the enormity of it nearly knocking the breath out of him. It's over twice as large as the cottage where he'd spent his childhood—a kitchen separate from the dining room and the sitting room! Not one, but two bathrooms! And best of all, three whole bedrooms! Enough space for Caleb, his books, and whichever of his friends would deign to visit him. The height of luxury indeed. Back then, Bren’s parents could only afford one bedroom, and young Bren himself had slept in the loft. Frumpkin would curl up on the foot of Bren’s mattress, and he'd wake to the smell of breakfast, the early morning light in his eyes, the rafters brushing his hair when he got up. 

    Or so it had been once, an entire lifetime ago. 

    “Veth,” he says. 

    She looks up at him. Then she grins. “Isn't this exciting?”

    “I think so,” Caleb says, a split second too late.

    Summary

    “Look me in the eye, Blondie, and repeat after me.”

    “Repeat after me,” Vash parrots dutifully, like the little shit he is.

    “I, Vash the Stampede, Broom for Brains, Dumb of Ass, Bearer of the Stupid Face—”

    “There you go hurting my feelings again,” Vash says, but he’s smiling. A real one. As soft as mashed fucking potatoes. It pisses Wolfwood off enough to slam that pretty face into the concrete. Or into his own face. He hasn’t decided just yet.

    “—will save my own life for once and get out of town without making an ass of myself.”

    “You’re talking about my ass a lot.”

    And then Vash kisses him.

    OR

    Nicholas, and the scars he doesn’t have.

    Summary

    The first gig Dorothea helps Sylvain land is an extended stunt cameo in a stoner flick, a chance to fully commit to self-parody, playing a washed-up child star turned drug dealer. The wardrobe department outfits him in sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts. He grows some scruff and behaves like an acerbic dirtbag for two weeks. “Pitch-perfect casting,” writes the Tribune. Says Entertainment Weekly: “A familiar face in a nearly unrecognizable performance, Gautier looks like he’s having so much fun being loathsome.”
