    Summary

    DESCRIPTION: Vash didn't expect her to one day notice him... Much less speak to him and care about him. With all his issues, he didn't think he deserved Meryl.

     

    But she was stubborn. Meryl believed she could help him love each piece of himself like she did.

    Summary

    In one forgotten corner of the world, Vash technically owned a house. He’d tried to sell the place, even give it away for free. He’d once left the door unlocked and disappeared for a decade, but no dice. It was still his.

    But maybe all that had just been the hand of fate all along, guiding him down to this one moment, so he would have a place to keep Meryl safe as a winter storm raged outside.

    Too cheesy even for him to actually tell her as much, though.

    Summary

    Meryl Stryfe is a junior at November University working hard at her job at the university journal, eager to please alongside her rookie partner and photographer, Milly Thompson. That eagerness (and brown nosing) is what lands her in the position of babysitting Vash "The Stampede", famous and increasingly popular cross country runner for the university team. Why the school is interested in a cross country runner is beyond her, but its a job and its hers to do, so she's going to give it her all... even if Vash is so incredibly difficult to pin down.

    Summary

    Vash has lived for so long, outlasting everyone he’s ever known, but now things are different—his body is showing signs of decay. With the blackening of his hair, a symbol of his impending mortality, he’s forced to confront the truth: he doesn’t have eternity left. As he embarks on one final journey with Meryl and Milly, Vash grapples with the fear of dying and the possibility of living a human life, filled with love, vulnerability, and the realization that time is finite.

    Summary

    Vash likes making people happy.

    That’s why he sleeps around as much as he does.

    (His best friend Nico says it’s because he’s a slut.)

    That’s why, when a tiny dot of a girl comes up to him at an off-campus bar and asks if he’d like to come spend some time with her and her “daddy”, he doesn’t hesitate to put down his drink and take her small hand.

    Summary

    “I do know what to do,” she moans.

    The first few flicks of his lighter produce nothing more than sparks, but Wolfwood gets a flame going and puffs at his cigarette until the tip catches. Exhaling smoke out the window, he says, “Let him go?” Then, at her horrified expression, “For fuck’s sake, pipsqueak, what d’you want me to say? Six months of this and no change. It's like watchin’ you playing with a corpse. That's not Vash anymore. Barely even fuckin’ looks like him.”

    “We can't just give up on him,” she says. Sinking down on the edge of Wolfwood's bed, she wrings her hands. “There has to be something we can try.”


    Meryl has always been the sort to act first, think later; but the stakes for this decision are high, and she's paralyzed by indecision. All she knows is one thing: Vash needs her help.

    Summary

    With no further recourse beyond double texting—which goes against her principles—Meryl plops herself down on the couch and runs the material through her fingers. It smells like him, the coat does. Vash uses a mild cologne, a sort of woodsy scent Meryl has never had the courage to ask the name of. When Meryl presses the neck of the coat to her nose and breathes in, she can pick out Vash’s laundry detergent, his fruity shampoo, another slightly sweet underlying smell that Meryl can only associate with Vash.

    She then pulls the jacket away, because she’s probably being weird. Smelling her friend’s clothes. It has a good heft in her arms. It’s leather after all, and larger than any of the clothing in Meryl’s closet. When she sits forward and pulls it on, her arms are completely engulfed by the sleeves. The coat itself swallows her, reaching almost down to her knees. Not that that’s unexpected. Vash is a big guy. But it’s something else, being faced with the tangible proof of that fact, when Vash usually keeps her at such a distance.

    Now Meryl is definitely being weird.

    ---

    Vash leaves his jacket at Meryl's apartment. Meryl responds to this as anyone would.

    Summary

    Meryl's first job out of college was meant to be pretty straightforward. A few months of investigative journalism and time in the wastes No Man's Land were a surefire way to help her climb the communications ladder and claim a seat at a news desk. An article on the Humanoid Typhoon was the fastest way to her dream. What she didn't account for was having to run with a Stampede that shared a heart very similar to hers.

    Summary

    She couldn't put out a eulogy with "the Humanoid Typhoon" as the title. Or even "Vash the Stampede". She would be mocked, for one.

     

    Or, Meryl has some writing to do post-JuLai incident.

    Summary

    She holds a feather in her hand, twirling it. Her fingers tremble minutely, unnnoticeable if not for how the bristles betrayed her. She knew, she knew, there was no longer any harm, but her body still didn't...
    Vash reveals he is also still trying to reconcile himself with his body, and how alien it feels to him even if he could wield it perfectly. Meryl can be his guiding light, once again.

    Summary

    The feathers share memories when touched. While still attached, they can also share what the plant/independent is currently experiencing. Vash and Meryl use this to their own pleasurable advantage, and often.
