    Summary

    "He could feel Vash, both here and on the other side, and the core of his brother's energy was right under his mental grasp, vibrant and alive, but its flows were all misshapen, reversed, and Knives felt his grip on it slipping away.
    So, instead of pushing, as he and the doctor had defined he needed to do, he unconsciously did what he usually did with his own powers.
    He pulled. "

    Or: Millions Knives messes up the opening of the Gates and brings someone new into Stampede universe, inadvertently changing the fate of the world and his own for the better. Well, maybe. Eventually...

    He isn't going down that easily, though.

    Not like anyone expects him to.

    Summary

    As they move, trying to be silent, the floorboards groan loudly beneath their own feet, damned old cabin. The sound echoes in the silent house, and the now alert gunman stops at the bottom of the stairs, ears alerted to their uninvited presence.

    "Ah, ah, ah..." He says quietly, his voice holding a low commanding tone, with more youth than any perceived ‘old man’ has any right still holding. A flash of panic lances through the thief, this sounded nothing like the mark they expected, silently they judge from behind the mask if they would be quick enough to escape.

    Not likely.

    Summary

    “Sprawled belly-down, Wolfwood is little more than tousled black hair and flashes of bare skin under largely kicked-off covers. The rhythm of his breathing gently shifts the slope of his back; big inhales and whuffling exhales that Vash teasingly calls snoring when he wants Wolfwood to get all huffy about it, and a miracle in the hushed moments after the day has ended and all there is to do is fall asleep together, chest to chest. Heartbeat to heartbeat.

    That feeling — this sight — the deep-rooted joy it causes — is something Vash got impossibly close to losing. To never experiencing crucial parts of it.

    It’s the holiest thing he has.”

    Vash and Wolfwood enjoy a late morning of their tomorrows.

    Summary

    It’s closer to morning than it is to evening now, half past three in the morning, and Wolfwood’s up with his heart racing.

    Not a nightmare. Could’ve been a nightmare; sometimes those cause boners too. It’s a thing, like, scientifically. Wolfwood’s pretty sure anyhow. (Of course he’s not sure how it works on a physiological level when you share Wolfwood’s “composition”, so to speak, but it doesn’t matter. He’s aching something awful between the legs, there’s a stain in his boxers, he’s hard. That’s what he’s called it for years and he sees no reason to quit now.)

    A nightmare would’ve been less embarrassing is the point. Wolfwood’s actual dream was a lot more—pleasant, than that, and accordingly, a lot less pleasant to wake up from and see that the bed is empty and cold and there’s a conspicuous absence of Vashes in his house right now. Not that Wolfwood’s checked. The only thing more embarrassing than sitting here and being hard would be waddling around the house looking for his partner to relieve the issue, so he won’t. It’s not even on the table.

    But what is on the table?

    Peacemaker.

    Wolfwood makes do in Vash's absence, then also in Vash's presence.

    Summary

    “What is this?” Wolfwood asks.

    “Black?”

    “Yeah.”

    Vash lets out a little breath. “Oh. It means I’m dying.”

    Wolfwood jolts. He digs his fingers into the dark hair, tips back Vash’s head so their eyes meet.

    “What?”

    Vash smiles at him. “It means I’m dying. Slowly. But–surely.”

    “What do you mean, Vash?”

    “I’m a Plant, Wolfwood. I don’t have infallible energy, just like my sisters. Every time I use the arm it pulls on reserves."
    ...

    “Aren’t you scared?” Wolfwood asks. “Doesn’t it scare you?”

    “No,” Vash says. “It doesn’t.”

    Wolfwood leans down. He kisses that black streak and the black hair below it that until now was so innocent. Vash leans into it, hums in the back of his throat.

    “Wolfwood,” he sighs, and sighs, and makes Wolfwood ache inside. “Don’t worry about it.”

    “All I do is worry about you,” Wolfwood mutters. “Got you burrowed in my brain.”

    And ribs and marrow, and bitten around his heart chewing into its vulnerable core.

    Summary

    He gazes at the apple tree.

    In the Book of Genesis, God had made the Garden of Eden. A paradise for Adam and Eve. A Heaven that wasn’t quite just Heaven, but spiritually blissful all the same—but the fruit that they ate had been forbidden, and God had punished them to live painfully human lives.

    Vash always thought the story was a little strange—why did God put the fruit there if they weren’t supposed to eat it in the first place?

    “It was a test, dummy,” Nai said.

    “But… a test on what? They didn’t know any better.”

    “They had free will. It was a test to see if they’d listen, obviously,” his brother turned away to continue reading.

    Vash had gone quiet for a moment.

    “Was it such a bad thing, though?” he hadn’t meant to say it outloud—but it came out anyway.

    “Huh?”

    “The… The knowledge of good and bad?”

     

    or

     

    After everything is said and done, Vash reflects on his relationships with Knives, Rem, and humanity.

    Summary

    So Legato sighs, and he does. “I’m sorry for—” disrupting is on the tip of his tongue; Legato wrinkles his nose and sighs again. “That is, I didn’t mean to stand out there for so long. I was trying to make up my mind.”

    “What about?” Knives, indeed, doesn’t seem the most occupied. He holds a softcover book in one hand, thumb folded over a page to keep it open. He looks bored more than anything, a single eyebrow raised as his gaze settles upon Legato.

    The black hair… ages him, Legato thinks. This man who for so long defied human standards of agency, of growing weaker… He seems fallible, now, touchable. But Legato never loved him for his immortality. He carefully closes the distance, then sets the plate in his hand on Knives’ desk.

    “...Cake,” Knives says at length.

    “Yes, it’s cake,” Legato agrees.

    ---

    Legato celebrates Knives' birthday, now that he has an inkling that it might be his place to.

    Summary

    “...Oh, but Mr. Vash, if what you’d rather have is a quiet evening tonight after your bath, that’s okay. You are my family, but it’s whatever you feel like doing, since it is your birthday. Don’t feel like you have to celebrate it in any particular way.”

    Millie’s sweet. The reality is, if any of them tried to “force” a celebration on him—not that they would—Vash would probably make a clean and quick getaway. He’s not above just splitting if the situation gets hairy… Even these days, in this life, where he’s trying to get a little bit better at staying. The consequences of getting overwhelmed are just too steep (for others and also for Vash himself) to risk it, these days.

    Thinking about it, though, Vash isn’t sure how to answer Millie because he just doesn’t know what he wants. The bath, he’s pretty sure about. Vash is pretty hyperaware of his water usage, so he never takes baths, and will be happy to indulge tonight. His achy joints will be even happier. His specialty donut is also a given.

    What Vash knows for sure that he wants, otherwise, isn’t something he can have.

    Summary

    “C’mon angel, we’re here.” He glances at the door of the inn, then back at Vash again. Coming around the side of the bike, Wolfwood leans over to brush at Vash’s forehead. Recoiling almost instantly with a hiss, he swears under his breath.

    Vash’s skin feels hot. Hotter than it should be.

    Summary

    Then it’s quiet again as Vash leans back on his hand and just takes the time to look at Wolfwood as he reads. The child sunrise flooding in through the window paints him in warm hues, the pinks, oranges, and golds mixing with his beautiful brown skin to create a stunning tableau. He seems absolutely radiant in the early morning light.

    Vash can’t help the way his breath catches at the gorgeous sight now that he’s had the opportunity to really appreciate it. He feels so incredibly blessed to be allowed to witness Wolfwood in all his beauty like this, to have him feeling comfortable and safe enough to be bare and vulnerable even after having a difficult night, to partake in these quiet, intimate moments with him day after day, tomorrow after tomorrow.

    How did Vash get so lucky?

    •••

    Or, Vash and Wolfwood spend the early hours of the morning together since Wolfwood is up earlier than Vash for once.

    Summary

    It's been five years since the defeat of Millions of Knives, five years since the takeover by the Earth Federation, and five since the infamous Vash the Stampede's life has changed... For better and for worse in some ways. But unexpectedly, on the eve of those five years, an even bigger change comes to him. One that he never thought he'd experience in his lifetime...

    Summary

    Vash could easily reach out and touch him, mould himself to Wolfwood’s back, take him in an embrace… and Wolfwood would allow it, because Vash knows, would have to be stupid not to know, how Wolfwood feels about him. How what Wolfwood feels about him is almost identical to what Vash feels about Wolfwood—how the things that he wants and the things that Wolfwood wants are so similar there’s almost no point in trying to distinguish between the two fantasies. They just… blend together.

    But instead Vash touches the rosary that still rests against his own heart—the one he took off Wolfwood’s body back when he buried it—and breathes through the knot in his chest. He closes his eyes. It’s weighed on his mind for a lot longer than he’s ever known or had Wolfwood, and he’s not sure what brings him to speak about it now… Vash has never gotten anything out of confessing to the dark.

    Still, he whispers, “I’m worried that there’s something wrong with me.”

    ---

    Vash uses the dark - and a sleeping Wolfwood - to spill some of his innermost insecurities.
