    Summary

    Lighter was no stranger to public confessions, but that one girl didn't seem to get the message. Wise, passing by, couldn't watch this no more and intervened, causing more than relief to spark in Lighter's heart.

    Summary

    The sweetness he’d been searching for wasn’t the candy, not really. It wasn’t that brief burst of sugar or the old habit of lighting up—it was the quiet presence of something more enduring. It was the memory of family long gone, the love he once had, and the bond he still felt. And it was the man standing in front of him now, who had unknowingly filled the void that smoking had once tried to fill.

    Summary

    Once the motel’s door closed behind them, Lighter practically threw Wise onto the high-quality, extremely soft bedding.

    “Wow, this feels like a 1000 thread count bed sheet,” Wise commented before his breath got sucked away by a kiss so searing that even the cool night air dissipated into heat upon his skin.

    “Been staring at your lips this whole time, darlin’.” Lighter replaced his tongue with gloved fingers, exploring the ridges of his molars and gums before lovingly shoving them down his throat. Wise gagged, spit coating his glove. The leather tasted a bit salty. “You gonna open up for me? Gonna choke on my cock like the good boy you are?”

    A flash of heat ran through Wise and he nodded, squirming.

    or, wise is one of lighter's biggest boxing fans, and lighter shows him just how grateful he is.

    Summary

    Nick Wolfwood is the new director of Conrad-Chapel Funeral Home in May City, located across the street from Saverem Greenhouse & Landscaping. Over time, the owner, Vash, gets to know Nick and introduces him to the rest of the neighborhood, including local busybodies and married feminist bookshop owners Meryl and Milly. Vash and Nick are inexorably drawn to each other until they have to start admitting their feelings.

    But Vash's brother, co-owner of the garden center, hasn't left his past as far behind as the twins had hoped when they started their lives over in May.

    Summary

    There are many things Caelus needs to learn after waking up without his memories. The alphabet is apparently one of them, and he finds it easier to remember when there’s an item or an experience to tie every letter to.

    For some reason, Dan Heng features an awful lot in his list.

     

    Or: All the ways in which Caelus loves Dan Heng, without knowing it himself.

    Summary

    Five years ago, Vash Saverem ran away from his brother Millions Knives’ criminal organization.

    Tasked to bring him back, Wolfwood doesn’t know what he expected when he finds Vash living peacefully in a small house with his garden, his cat, and the stubborn hope to never have to return.

    Can Wolfwood resist the call of the life he’s always longed for?

    Summary

    Vash realises what he’s doing a beat too slow and pulls back, smiling sheepishly, but Wolfwood still turns to look at him with a brow raised in question. (He looks incredulous, grumpily so. Vash can’t blame him for it given the week they’ve had.)

    Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Vash insists, “You should at least clean your hair.”

    “Too tired,” Wolfwood grunts again, looking back towards the bed. “Be my problem later.”

    “I’ll help you,” Vash is offering before he can think better at it. It gets a startled look out of Wolfwood, and admittedly he feels similar, but he doesn’t retract the offer, instead folding his arms across his chest. Wolfwood has washed his hair before, some iles back when Vash wasn’t able to lift his arm to do it himself, so it’s not like it’s all that strange of an offer. Besides, Wolfwood is tired, and Vash is too, and maybe it’ll be easier if they bathe at the same time, rather than doing it in turns.

    Wolfwood swallows audibly. “You, uh… sheesh, Spikey.” He scratches the side of his neck and looks away, muttering, “I mean, I don’t know if I…”

    ---

    Exhausted after days of sleeping without beds, Vash washes Wolfwood's hair.

    Summary

    A random Saturday night, the usual bachelorette parties and Saturday night crowd. Just the regular shift, nothing more. Until a pair of blue eyes and messy blond hair catch Nicholas' eyes and make his night infinitely better.

    Will it be just his night though? (spoiler alert: it won't).

    Summary

    Ivory, fair skin. Golden hair—a pair of Olympus' brightest sapphires, colored with earnest, unadulterated concern. White, white chiton cloth—and a lovemark under one eye; a perfect Cupid's bow, framing a perfectly charming shape of mouth, pulled into a frown. It's out of place on a face like this.

    "Uh," says Nicholas intelligently. The blood loss crippled his cognition like an axe, whittling steadily at his consiousness. He has to say something. Anything. "I thought Calypso was a woman." Damn it.

    Summary

    She says, "I'm actually looking for someone. The captain of the Sand Steamer said that he'd heard a rumor that Vash the Stampede is on board. I understood him to have blonde hair and a red jacket…" She looks at Vash, who hastily climbs back into his chair. Wolfwood retakes his as well, though he does it as if it was his idea to stop fighting all along.

    With profound earnestness, Vash answers, "I heard he's also incredibly handsome and dashing. But may I ask why you're looking for him?" (Across the table, Meryl rolls her eyes so hard that she nearly gives herself a hernia. She is truly stuck with the corniest man alive.)

    "My name is Eleanor Forthright," the young woman explains, "and my stepfather's just been murdered."

    There's another moment of staring and silence. Weakly, Vash says, "It wasn't me, I just got here."

    Eleanor blinks, and then she presses her lips together. "No, sir, I'm not accusing you. I'm asking for your help to find out who did it."

    Summary

    Wolfwood, they sang. Wolfwood, Wolfwood, Wolfwood.
    Soft, tentative. As though asking a question. They reached out to him again, feather-light touches brushing across his cheeks through the fog.
    Nicholas.
    Something wet rolled down his cheek. He was crying.
    Nicholas. Nicholas. Wolfwood.
    Beloved.

    Miracle, the plants whispered. What is a miracle?
    Vash stared at the grave.
    “Something impossible,” he said quietly. “Something impossible that happens anyway.”

    Rem and the plants meet Wolfwood.

    Summary

    "You mean…" The wicked grin of insurance fraud stretched Wolfwood's lips around the cigarette. "There might be a way for you to finally get some well-deserved cash back outta those Bernadelli bastards, and for me to resolve my current predicament without havin' to sell a kidney or two?"
    "Entirely mutually beneficial." Vash smiled angelically. "And really, I think Bernardelli will still turn a profit on me. It's very pricey insurance."
    "Ya should really cancel that package."
    "And make Milly cry!?" Vash gasped dramatically. "Oh, you monster."

     

    Or: a story about contracts (of insurance and of marriage), about jokes (that are perhaps not funny at all), and - of course - about love.

    Summary

    The harsh cries of the jays faded, the trees crowding in thick and close, until even the rustling of leaves was stifled. Vash’s breaths turned loud in his ears, his heart picking up the unfamiliar tempo of anticipation.

    Just as he hadn’t expected to find an invasive shrub in this part of the woods, so too had he been unprepared to find a man slumped in the cradle of a wych elm’s roots.

    Summary

    Marriage wasn’t something they’d talked about too much; Vash wasn’t even sure it would ever actually happen. It seemed silly to even plan it in his head in the first place. Part of him said to just be happy with what he had, fearing what would come of wanting a little bit more

    Or: working on arrangements for weddings can, as one might expect, make you think about what your own might look like.

    After all is said and done, Vash and Wolfwood have a child.

    Vash doesn’t need to see Wolfwood’s face to know what is there, naked and raw and irrevocable as a gut wound. He is caught, the same as Vash is, in a place between awe and devastation. Where joy is so sharp it cuts. Grief’s twin, Vash thinks.

    “I want to marry your brother.” As soon as the words left his mouth, he cringed. Livio said nothing as he slowly looked up from his laptop, staring at Vash.

    “Oh. Okay.” He quickly added. “Uh, I mean… congrats…?”

    “Please don’t tell Wolfwood.”

    “Wouldn’t dream of it, really.”
