    Summary

    Pancakes were easy to make. Pancakes were an old favorite, something that was just similar enough in ingredient list (flour; sugar; eggs; milk) to donuts that it was Vash’s God-given right to learn how to make ‘em. No leavening agent made them a faster throw-together dessert, but that didn’t mean they didn’t require patience and a skilled hand. One could easily fuck up pancakes as easily as one could, say, blow a giant hole in the moon. He’d made many-a burnt circle of ash in his time as a sometimes-useless baker and most of those weren’t even his fault. You try making a perfect pancake while in an active shootout. You try attending to that sensitive little bubble of dough while dodging your own customers rallying for your head on a sixty-billion double-dollar pike. Vash might’ve been a free man, now, but he was not taking any chances with something being made for someone as special as Milly Thompson.

    Summary

    “Go get yerself another slice a’ bread,” he says to Tara. “This one’ll be mine.”

    Elvis looks skeptically at his hand when he holds it out for the plate. Frowning, he says, “But it’s burnt.”

    “Yer in luck, then, ‘cause I like my toast burnt,” says Nicholas. It makes Elvis frown even more. “What? You think I’m lyin’ to ya, squirt?”

    Summary

    The first person who’d started the trend was actually Miss Luida herself. When Meryl and Milly were interviewing her about the ongoing Noman recovery efforts, the topic of the Humanoid Typhoon had come up—and as smoothly as any other slimy, skilled politician constantly bathing in the public’s critical eye, Luida had hummed thoughtfully to herself, before lying straight through her teeth.

    “Oh, Vash the Stampede?” Luida had said, never missing a beat. “Ahh. Yes. After everything, I heard he went bald from the stress. When do you suppose they’ll update his bounty poster?”

    —And then she’d winked when Milly’s giggles made the camera move off of her face, and Meryl had smiled like she’d just found a nugget of pure gold in a pile of tomas shit.

    Summary

    A comfortable silence falls. Vash watches Wolfwood knit and savors the little things. Wolfwood has settled so much that he’s now on the cusp of dozing off: his eyes are half-lidded. He’s been lulled into contentment with his hands busy and his head blank and his heart soothed by Vash’s company. They have nowhere to be. Nothing to do save rest and recuperate from yesterday; and Vash had affirmed with their little back-and-forth that he wanted Wolfwood happy and healthy and that he’d be delighted to see Wolfwood dolled up as pretty as he wanted to be.

    Vash starts massaging around Wolfwood’s left knee as he contemplates his spouse, and Wolfwood moans (actually moans!) and lets his knitting drop as his eyes completely close. “Wow, that good?” Vash teases; Wolfwood huffs at Vash’s tone but nods. His black hair fans against the black leather of their couch. His eyelids flutter. God, he’s pretty. He’s so pretty like this: when he’s soft and honest to himself and Vash about what he wants.

    Wolfwood has some crummy feelings about being waiter-assigned-top. Vash goes down on his wife about it.

    Summary

    "God knows how long he's been searching for this kind of release. In a way, Legato needed it too, though the sex is a neglectable part of it. He likes taking control and Livio only knows how to give it up."

    Summary

    Maybe Wolfwood is a little pent up.

    Maybe he usually is, of course. But especially now. He’ll never be able to figure out how Vash can dodge and talk his way through a gun fight just to fall asleep in the car next to him moments later. Wolfwood still feels like he's in fight or flight mode, every bump of the trip jolting him to full attention even when he tries to sink into his seat.

    Summary

    “—I missed the resurrection because of you,” was the first thing Elendira said to her, when Dominique opened her eyes and blinked at the IV in her arm. The faint hum permeating the entire space signaled that they were aboard the Crimsonnail’s personal airship.

    “I’m sorry, Madame Mary Magdalene,” Dominique croaked. Her eye trembled. She and Elendira weren’t close; why was she here? She was supposed to escape. She was supposed to be dead.

    Elendira scoffed, shook her head, and left the room. Disappointed.

    Summary

    On Wednesday, Vash realizes that Wolfwood is getting sick and promptly pretends that he hadn’t noticed.

    It’s his food, is what gives it away. As a rule of thumb, Wolfwood likes spicy things, sour things, and flavors strong enough to clear Vash’s sinuses; so when Vash notices the smallish pot simmering on the stove Wednesday night, he’s careful to keep his tone just curious (not assessing: Wolfwood will know that Vash knows if Vash is assessing) when he asks, “Is that congee for me?”

    Wolfwood visibly starts where he’d been zoning out next to the stove. There’s a crease between his eyebrows when he wheels to face Vash. “Y’said y’wanted bread,” Wolfwood tells him like that answers Vash’s question; in a way (in the way of the shared language of their relationship) it does. Vash had said he’d wanted bread; and the congee is very obviously not bread; so the contents of the pot merrily bubbling away on the stove aren’t for Vash.

    Which means they’re for Wolfwood. And Wolfwood never wants plain congee unless he’s feeling bad.

    Wolfwood gets sick, and Vash does what he can about it.

    Summary

    “Look me in the eye, Blondie, and repeat after me.”

    “Repeat after me,” Vash parrots dutifully, like the little shit he is.

    “I, Vash the Stampede, Broom for Brains, Dumb of Ass, Bearer of the Stupid Face—”

    “There you go hurting my feelings again,” Vash says, but he’s smiling. A real one. As soft as mashed fucking potatoes. It pisses Wolfwood off enough to slam that pretty face into the concrete. Or into his own face. He hasn’t decided just yet.

    “—will save my own life for once and get out of town without making an ass of myself.”

    “You’re talking about my ass a lot.”

    And then Vash kisses him.

    “I won’t lie to you, Spikey. I’m curious about it too. But I’d never ask. Not until you do.”

    “You?”

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

    Vash goggled at him. Then, “Trees?”

    Summary

    “Say, have you ever thought about… settling down?”

    Wolfwood makes a rumbly, surprised noise in the back of his throat, if not alarmed. He whips his gaze up at Vash. “Now where did that come from? Don’t be ridiculous, Spikey.” He forces himself to relax a little, snorting. “I ain’t settlin’ down unless it’s six feet under.”

    Vash yearns to dream. So he and Wolfwood dream together.

    Vash’s lips closed around the barrel. The metal was icy against his skin. He flinched with discomfort as the tip scraped his teeth, the ridge of the front sight sliding along his palate, but Wolfwood only pushed it further in.

    That’s right. You can be rough with me.

    Summary

    Wolfwood grabs Midvalley's lapels, surging forward with the need to shake the smug look off of Midvalley's face. Infuriatingly, his grin continues to twist. "Stop playin' with me, fucker. You don't know who you're pickin' a fuckin' fight with."

    "Naw, I have a pretty good idea, actually," Midvalley argues, leaning in so close that it makes Wolfwood's stomach flip. "There's a sheep behind those eyes, Chapel. You don a wolf's pelt to make yourself look bigger, scarier, meaner. You can't seriously believe your disguise will save you, do you?" His eyes go from half-lidded to wildly wide as he speaks, and his eye contact in general is way too intense.

     

    New hired-gun coworkers, Nicholas D. Wolfwood and Midvalley the Hornfreak, get to know each other through a cautious dance, executed as intricately as a mating ritual.
