    Summary

    So, he was probably just being stupid. And that was fine. He could be a little stupid sometimes, nothing wrong with that.

    (But, seriously, for a body that could no longer feel much pain. Sometimes it really hurt.)

    Fortunately, he was able to push these thoughts away most of the time. Unfortunately, he was not able to do that today.

    Today was a very unsuper day.

    Summary

    Juno Steel is many things: an excellent Private Eye, an amazing shot, one hell of a lady, deeply depressed, intensely traumatized, in love with Peter Nureyev-

    Here's one thing he's not right now: conscious.

    (AKA Juno falls into a quick trauma coma before he can skip out on Nureyev. What happens next may shock you.)

    Summary

    “Are you alright, Sam?” Frodo asked quietly, and Sam opened his mouth to say the same thing he had said to everyone else- yes, of course I’m fine, I’ve been better but I’m doing fine- but the words, for some reason, didn’t make it out all the way, morphing before he knew it on his tongue.

    “I don’t know,” Sam said to his own surprise, and the magnitude of that truth left him airless for a moment. “I suppose I will be, eventually. What about you?”

    Summary

    He recognizes the scent of petrichor, of course; it's hard to live for a century and a half and not know what rain smells like, even on a desert planet. It helps that he’s his own walking barometer too, though.

    He really needs to find somewhere safe to hunker down until it passes, because he can already tell by the ache in his bones that it’s going to be a big one. He has a day or so to get settled before the change in pressure kicks his feet out from under him; he doesn’t want Meryl or Wolfwood to get hurt because the pulsing agony under his skin made him too slow to protect them.

    —

    He’s gotten good at hiding it behind an insanely high pain tolerance, but some days, Vash’s chronic pain is too much to push through.
