Summary
Wolfwood wants with the ache of a thousand distances half-covered and words unspoken and kisses never shared, with the single-minded desperation of a kid who yearned for a better life in July and found nothing but death there instead. Wolfwood has never stopped wanting, even with gunpowder caked under his nails and the weight of the Eye and Livio and all of Hopeland’s safety against his shoulders and fourteen holes straight through where his guts should be.
But the Punisher’s weight was too heavy. His hands were too dirty, his soul was too tarnished. Wolfwood left, and left, and kept leaving, and now he’s here all alone, with nothing but another empty church and another empty promise and another mouthful of confessions crawling their way up his throat.
Or: Sometimes second chances are worse than premature endings. Sometimes hope persists anyway.
Written for the Vashwood Big Bang 2023.
