Summary
Nicholas D. Wolfwood manages to piss off Gunsmoke's most violent cryptid: Millions Knives. Despite his rage, Knives agrees to spare Wolfwood, but only if he successfully tracks down Knives' slippery, nomadic brother - another elusive cryptid simply referred to as "The Stampede".
It takes years, but thanks to the aid of Zazie the Beast, Wolfwood tracks "The Stampede" to a small mountain town called TriPeak.
Despite Wolfwood's desperation to catch the monster, his fondness for the town proves to be a slight distraction. The locals are nice, the cafe sells the best coffee he's ever had, and TriPeak is inherently charming, despite the perpetually grey weather.
And on top of all that, there's one newer TriPeak transplant who Wolfwood finds particularly fascinating.

Summary
Because Vash is a nice boy, and doesn't fly off the handle and mutilate his brother on the belief that imperfect things are less loved and he will therefore be allowed to keep them. Knives may not spend a lot of time sniveling, but he is never going to stop feeling bad about all the scars he has put on Vash. Hell, he would be locked up somewhere right now, if not for Vash's begging not to be parted from him and Rem's assurances that she could keep them both safe. And she has, and because of that and because this is what Vash wants, Knives is going to Summer Camp For The Criminally Insane And Their Stupid Siblings. Great.
And of course Vash blubbers when they say goodbye to Rem, and then he's way too excited to talk to everyone else on the bus, and it's hot out and there's no AC and Knives is already greasy with sunscreen and just kill him now, honestly.
With my usual impulse to take Big Serious Angsty properties and turn all the characters into the obnoxious teenagers they act like, we find ourselves here, with the cast of Trigun at a summer residential program for kids with severe trauma.

Summary
“You did say that I could do whatever I wanted.”
Well, yeah, Vash said that, but he was being hyperbolic. Realistically, he’d wait for Lila-Jane to be out of harm’s reach, get Dr. Emphasis to come in here, and jump him. The guy doesn’t look all that strong. Even with a headache, Vash is pretty sure he could body him. No point in saying that though. There’s a chance Dr. Emphasis already pieced as much together—hence the smug smile on his face—but even if he didn’t, if Vash is faced with the option…
“I’d rather you let her go,” Vash says quietly. “Whatever you want with me, I’m sure she has nothing to do with it.”
“Are you so sure?” Dr. Emphasis raises an eyebrow. “Nonetheless, you know now the choices that I’m offering you. I can make one guarantee to you right now, however. I’ll only keep you both here for a seven days—no longer than a week. I have no intention of killing either of you. I have seven tests I would like you both to indulge me by participating in… and then I’ll let you go. Does that sound agreeable?”

Vash is captured by a scientist who wants to see how far he'll bend until he breaks.

Summary
Vash was just glad the people of Inepril were safe and that their plant was stable again. He’d ended his stay there on a good note, and it was one that he preferred to leave on.
If Vash got lucky, which in his experience was a very big if, they would assume he'd departed on the sand steamer instead of leaving town on foot. If they did, that would throw the insurance girls off his trail as well.
Vash really didn’t want their “twenty-four hour" surveillance. Meryl and Milly were persistent and dangerously sharp. After what they’d seen in Inepril they’d start asking questions, and they’d be questions that Vash either couldn’t or wouldn’t answer.

Summary
Wolfwood had always reveled in the duality of his nature, but knew better than to ever reveal his truth to a human. Especially while he and his brother Livio are trying to lay as low as possible in the small town of Jenora after fleeing their controlling pack leader Chapel. But then he meets Vash, a gorgeous, accident prone young man studying at the same campus as Livio, who ignites a thrill in his heart rivaled only by the full moon. Now, laying low isn't as simple as he initially expected as he struggles to become close with Vash while keeping him safe from his secret and his past.
