Summary
On the ancient, rusted-out wreck of the small spacecraft below the dune, several desiccated corpses had been strung up by their ankles—probably by the Bad Lads or some other local gang—and were being picked at by an assortment of Worms and buzzards. Next to them, however, were two men who were still very much alive, tied up back-to-back and dangling upside down, slowly turning in circles as the pair wriggled and squirmed in their bonds.
They weren’t trying to escape, though. They appeared to be much more focused on trying—and failing—to punch each other’s lights out.
“I’m not buying it,” Meryl muttered.
Roberto scoffed. “They sure act like a pair of brothers. Look like it, too.”
———
Or, in another timeline, Knives and Vash were never driven apart, and instead became Gunsmoke's most wanted pair of twins. Was it for the better? No one knows for sure, but for the Bernardelli Insurance Society, probably not.

Summary
"Hoisting himself to his feet, he shuffled over to the dashboard, wiping his tears along the way. Mechanically, the guide began to flip switches and press the buttons, directing the course of the small pod towards the nearest planet in the star system.
While his piece-of-shit father had neglected much of the education required for guides like Jungkook, he had thankfully still given him the opportunity to learn how to fly, both in and outside of atmospheres. He had cited how Jungkook “might still be of use” as a pilot, but frankly, Jungkook didn’t care. He was free now, and he needed to take advantage of it.
Sentinels had already hurt him so much. He’d be damned if he gave them another chance."

“I believe what I know,” Derek answered, his gaze falling towards the ceiling once more. “I am the image of the monster powerful men warn their people about.”
“But you’re not,” Stiles’ voice broke the silence that had started to fall between them.
“Don’t,” Derek sharply countered. His jaw was tightly set as his eyes fell to Stiles. “Don’t romanticize me.”

Summary
"Wolfwood had always scoffed at the Jedi way of life. He felt it was based on lies. And Wolfwood hated liars. They lied to themselves about not feeling love or anger, about not wanting revenge, about being better than everyone else. They lived in their lofty temples pretending to help people."
When Sith Lord Knives hires Wolfwood to bring Vash home, however, his views on Jedi are forced (haha) to change.

Summary
What would it be like to tell Cyno that Tighnari keeps his love of him nestled between his lungs, close to the soft and bloody tissue of his heart, and feels it grow in his body like a benign, lovely tumor with each meeting and parting?
It would certainly be humiliating to verbalize, to say nothing of the physiologically flawed metaphor. Better not risk it.
Tighnari & Cyno through the years.

Summary
"We want you here— you and Chan— you can feel it too, right? How— how right you fit into our lives— like you were always meant to be here— right between us.”
Jeonghan wanted to stay. He desperately wanted to stay. He wanted to tell them everything— everything Daeho ever did to him, to Chan, what Chan was— but he couldn’t risk Chan’s life for the chance at happiness. Even if they accepted Chan as a human, on the very rare chance that could actually happen, they would never be able to accept him as one of them.
He would always be the outsider, always be the weak link, and Jeonghan would never let anyone treat Chan like he was less just because he was different.
“Maybe in another life,” he replied, voice nothing more than a whisper. “But in this life, Chan and I will leave when it’s safe to travel.”
OR
Chan stumbles into the second nicest wolf after his appa one day in the woods who offers them shelter from the storm. They stay longer than either of them ever expected and find more than they thought possible with a pack that shouldn't want anything to do with them.

Or
Bronya learns to move on from her mother's death, and embrace the newfound family she gained along the way.

Summary
His hair is tousled, washed and soft looking as it curls around his cheeks, his weathered face looking gentle in the artificial light. He’s wearing an oversized sweater that exposes his collarbones, sweatpants that are slung low on his hips, and his feet are clad only in a dark pair of socks. He has a tray of food in his hands, and Vash watches as his fingers clench around the metal so hard that it shakes under the pressure.
“Hey.” Vash breathes.
(Or, Vash wakes up at home. Wolfwood is there with him.)

“You?”
“Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? Ain’t never seen one of those…tall brown things.”

Summary
Every year, Tighnari disappears for two weeks. He doesn't tell anyone where he is going, or why, and whoever dares to ask him about it is silenced with a pointed glare. This year, Cyno runs into him by accident.
Even from the distance Cyno can see the dilation of Tighnari’s pupils, the flush creeping all the way down Tighnari’s neck. Vaguely he registers that Tighnari is not wearing his usual ranger outfit but loose-fitting white robes instead, bound around his waist but slipping off his shoulders, showing more skin than they’re hiding. Tighnari’s hair is matted with sweat, sticking to his skin.
