    Summary

    After reappearing six months after Knives' defeat, Vash makes the difficult choice to leave the girls behind, to keep them safe. With no Humanoid Typhoon to chase after any longer, Meryl and Milly make the decision to go their own ways for a while. What none of them anticipated was Meryl finding Knives very much alive. And he's looking for Vash.

    Summary

    The blankets are stripped, the pillows stacked neatly on one of the chairs by the window, presumably because of the heat. That’s not what catches Meryl’s attention; rather, it’s Vash, or who Meryl assumes to be Vash, writhing on the floor by the bed, tangled up in the thin bedsheet he must’ve been using as a blanket.

    And—with white feathers flying everywhere. Vash’s wings have sprouted, from his back, off his arms, all over his face. Fluttering and clapping over his eyes, wrestling towards the ceiling like they’ll free him from the blanket-prison he created by thrashing. Even now, Meryl’s mind begins to whir with action items—get Vash out of there, toss the sheet aside, calm him down—but the rest of her has frozen. The one breath she manages stops in her throat, makes a sort of rattling sound on its way out. Her chest tightens until she can feel every line of her ribcage against her rapidly beating heart.

    It’s been a long time since Meryl has seen Vash’s wings. Even after he killed Legato Bluesummers—he—

    Vash’s hand—the prosthetic—hits the ground with a heavy thunk.

    ---

    A nightmare brings out Vash's feathers, which Meryl hasn't seen since Dragon's Nest.

    Summary

    “How do two grown men not have eight hundred double dollars between them?!”

    “Wha—” Vash was averting Meryl’s eyes, which was frankly ridiculous considering he had sought her out for help in the first place, “Meryl! The economy is in shambles!”

    The economy was decidedly not in shambles.

    Summary

    Granted, squinting through the dark, Wolfwood takes a moment to make out any details. When his eyes do manage to adjust, Wolfwood has to do a double take, rocking back onto his heels and scrubbing at his eyes before pressing his forehead back into the glass. The flickering streetlamps on his block just barely manage to illuminate the details, not that there are many.

    Primarily, what Wolfwood can see is this large, trembling mass of white feathers, just collapsed in the middle of his backyard. Wolfwood stares, trying to remember what he learned from that travelling ornithologist back in high school about the wingspan of birds of prey. Those jackasses actually get pretty big, right? But these extend well beyond what you’d expect from even a bird as large as a bald eagle, spanning almost the entire backyard, nearly fence-to-fence, and they’re curled in around something… bigger. Oblong. Perhaps even man-shaped.

    An angel crashlands in Wolfwood's backyard.

    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

    Life or death on NML is determined by big hunks of metal piloted by humans and highly advanced computer programs, an alliance that's only gotten more and more unsteady in recent years. Wolfwood was raised to be a pilot, to keep everyone safe, and no matter what he has to do he'll make it happen. Even if sometimes making it happen means going well out of his comfort zone.

    At least his new copilot is easy to get along with. It's hard dealing with rogue mechs and giant sand worms if you don't have a good working relationship with the person inside your head for the whole thing.

    Summary

    The priest, however, is sitting cross legged, hooked up to an IV, a book open in his lap. He’s dressed in a black v-neck sweater and loose pants, rather than the all-black ensemble Meryl had found him in. There’s a bandage on his cheek, and his sunglasses are folded on the table beside him. As Meryl steps closer, he lifts his gaze, apparently hearing her approach. When their eyes meet, Meryl is expecting an intense look—he carries such a massive gun, and had been in such a state when she found him—but instead, she’s… surprised.

    His eyes are brown, and soft. His eyelashes are really long, too. He looks… gentle, more than anything. Meryl supposes it’s a fitting look for a priest, but she has to avert her gaze before she stares for too long.

    “Hi,” Meryl says, then clears her throat. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to disturb you. I was one of the people who found you before, and I just wanted to see how you were doing.”

    “Right,” the priest says. “I remember. This’ll be the second time you saved my life, ain’t it?”

    Meryl properly introduces herself to Wolfwood during their time on the colony ship.

    Summary

    “Who told you you’re stupid?” Nick demands instantly; the reaction she’d predicted, when she ran over this conversation in her head. He’s sat up as well, lips pursed. “The hell you are.”

    “Nobody told me,” Millie says with a sheepish laugh. She rubs the side of her neck, where the skin has begun to warm. “You don’t have to… I mean, I really don’t want either of you to be upset. It’s not like something someone said to me got under my skin. I just…”

    It would be hard for anybody, wouldn’t it? Living in a house with these three. Vash and Meryl are geniuses, the once-in-a-lifetime kind. Vash knows things Millie hasn’t even begun to scratch the surface on, a math and history whiz, and Meryl’s so quick on her feet, so articulate. Nick’s a genius with people, subtle and sly; he can enter a room with crying children and have every kid either asleep or clinging to his leg by the time he’s ready to leave it. Millie ends up feeling lacklustre by comparison a lot of the time, and that’s fine, because at least she gets to be around them. But…

    “Mm, I don’t know,” Millie finally says, and lets out a weak laugh.

    ---

    Millie approaches her partners with an insecurity.

    Summary

    High school au! Wolfwood has a crush on the hottest and most popular and most talkative guy in the entire school (Vash). The only problem is when ever Vash is alone with Wolfwood, he refuses to a say a single word. Despite not talking around Wolfwood, he always greets him or says goodbye with a hug. Which drives Wolfwood crazy because he does not understand the mixed signals he is getting. Does Vash actually hate Wolfwood? Or is there something else going on?

    Summary

    And now it’s been three years. Meryl looks at the calendar, then back at Nicholas, the man who she almost lost just five months later. Who she now lives with, a stone’s throw away from the orphanage where he grew up, a living reminder of the fact that he never had a mother to cry-not-cry over in the first place. Meryl bites down again on the inside of her cheek.

    “My mom died,” Meryl says, “three years ago… today.” Her eyes drift, unseeing, back to the calendar. “I don’t really know what to do with myself.”

    Nicholas tilts his head. It would be a fully neutral look if not for his eyes, which have softened. Biggest reason why he wears the sunglasses, Meryl imagines—or, well, the second biggest, with the fact that they live on a desert planet being the first. Still, Meryl would call his expression more assessing than fully worried, his lips tugging into a purse and then flattening out into a straight line.

    “Alright.” Nicholas leans over and plants a kiss against her forehead. “What’d she like for breakfast?”

    “What?”

    Summary

    It's been eight months since everything that happened in July. Wolfwood has been drifting through the desert in that time doing odd jobs and keeping his head down after not hearing anything from the Eyes of Micheal, Knives or Vash. Then the priest hears rumors of a plant mysteriously fixing itself and Wolfwood starts his hunt.

    This fic is purely so I can write Vash and Wolfwood being in love and them struggling with sudden parenthood.

    Inspired by Sprouts by WhiteCabaret here on AO3! Please go read this fic it's so good!

    Summary

    Upon hearing his name being mentioned, the black-clad man merely tips his head in acknowledgement. “And Mr Wolfwood is …?” Vash begins, as if he’s supposed to recognise that strange man with his equally strange-looking crossbow. There’s a hint of a crucifix incorporated seamlessly into its prod and tiller, making the overall design look way bigger than the standard-shaped crossbow weaponry that archers normally wield.

    “Hunter,” the man drawls at once. He takes this as a cue to approach them with a laidback gait imbued with the right amount of poise that serves as a warning to the next fool looking for trouble. All at once, Vash knows better not to end up at the receiving end of his bad side. “Nicholas D. Wolfwood, at your service.”

     

    ------

    When magicless warlock Vash meets hunter Nicholas D. Wolfwood, he chalks it up as happenstance. It's not every day you meet a guy with the right amount of confidence and the perfect level of aim to take down creatures causing havoc. With werewolves attacking towns at random, Vash supposes it is only wise that they team up.

    But everyone else knows the story. After all, is anything with Nicholas D. Wolfwood by chance, ever?

    Summary

    “Ummm, hello, sir! Party of one?”

    …Mm? Vash isn’t usually greeted by a hostess at the majority of cafes he visits. That’s a bit formal for a coffee shop, he figures. But maybe the name cafe had been deceptive. Especially in bigger cities, Vash has encountered that before as well. As long as he can get himself some coffee, it won’t be an issue, so Vash opens his mouth to confirm that yes, he’s dining alone, when he makes eye contact with the worker and his throat abruptly goes very very dry.

    The woman standing in front of him—

    Is—

    Her eyes are big. That’s what Vash notices first. Big and brown and framed with long, fluffy eyelashes. Tan skin with a spattering of pale freckles that are only visible because she’s standing directly under a light. Glossy chestnut coloured hair that tumbles over her shoulders in waves, drawn out of her face with an olive green ribbon. And she’s wearing—

    “Wait,” Vash says hoarsely, “wait, I—”

    “Yes?” The woman—maid—in front of him giggles.

    ---

    Vash, on the verge of passing out, stumbles his way into a maid cafe in search of caffeine.

    Summary

    It’s not really like Millie to flee, even while sensing something dangerous. Meryl does trust her instincts though—and it leaves her wondering if maybe she ought to say something about the eyes that were on her this morning. Even now, Meryl’s urge is to hold back, so as not to worry her… but on the other hand, if Millie noticed now… Maybe Meryl isn’t the one he’s after. Maybe—

    “Millie, did you notice someone weird at the diner this morning?” Meryl asks in a low voice. “An older man with a beard—he would’ve been looking at us while we were eating?”

    “At the diner…?” Millie tilts her head to the side, frowning thoughtfully. “No, I don’t think so… Why? Was someone watching you?”

    “I—” Meryl drags her hand down her face. “Well, I don’t know. I thought so, but maybe I was imagining things. Either way, if you didn’t notice him then, it must’ve been someone else…”

    ---

    Meryl notices eyes on her, but ignores her misgivings until she ultimately has to confront the situation head on.
