    Summary

    'The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature, when those causes operate most powerfully, is astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror… A mode of terror or pain is always the cause of the sublime.'

    Or, -

    Summary

    "You know," Hikaru says. "If the heat's too much of a problem, I can make myself colder. I could be, like, an icepack for you, if you want."

    Summary

    Vash has lived more lives than most, he knows.

    He would feel restless in any other world, but here he finds himself content with waiting most of the time. It’s been about twenty or thirty odd years, he thinks— he has so much to tell him about, things about technology and new feats, about the small ways humans are finding ways to be impossibly kind as much as they are cruel. Thirty years is enough for rises and falls of events; humans are busy.

    (Did you miss it? Wherever you were, did you miss it?)

    Summary

    Wolfwood catches a glimpse, just a sparkle, really, but there’s something on Vash’s hand, something that wasn’t there last night. He reaches up, catches Vash’s hand in his own, and brings it down in front of their faces.

    Vash’s eyes widen. Wolfwood curses.

    There’s a ring on Vash’s finger. Looks expensive, more expensive than anything they should have been buying. Jesus Christ, how maudlin did he get last night? But Vash’s eyes are still wide as they roam over to where Wolfwood has Vash’s hand clasped in his own.

    There, on Wolfwood’s left ring finger, there’s another ring, a match to the one Vash is wearing.

    “Fuck,” Wolfwood breathes. Vash hasn’t made a noise. Wolfwood is pretty sure he’s holding his breath.
