    Trust always seems to come at a price- especially with Vash the Stampede. When the bill comes due, they're not ready.

    They never seem to be ready.

    Summary

    Vash felt like he was choking on his guilt. He slapped his cheeriest smile on his face and didn't meet anyone's eyes. He saw their faces and the buildings and cobble stones, new water canals and gardens and solar panels, all disappearing in white light. Vash's ears were ringing. Wolfwood said something to him but he shook his head and walked faster. He was pretty sure his knee was sprained by his ungraceful landing. He was pretty sure he'd almost killed everyone here.

    10 years after the end of Trimax an incident triggers the Angel Arm. Vash deals with the consequences of being a pacifist who is a gun.

    Summary

    Vash barely focuses his attention on the words Wolfwood throws at him as they navigate through the grocery store. Wolfwood doesn't mind as he continues to chatter after receiving lukewarm responses, thinking Vash is still distracted about what happened earlier. What Vash is really distracted about though, is why he's cautious of Wolfwood. His heart is still racing, and the restlessness from this morning has increased twofold, too on edgy to stand still. This distraction is what caused him to run into the man earlier.

    Wolfwood is the reason. Wolfwood is distracting him.

    Or, Vash doesn't know his heat is coming when he notices some changes until it hits him.

    Summary

    “Don’t be afraid.”

    “How can you even say that to me?” Vash asks, still cringing away from Knives’ touch.

    His brother’s skin lacks temperature. Vash runs hot, has missed his natural body heat as the floor, this ship, blood loss, has taken it from him. But his brother has made himself lack heat, or cold, he just is. It feels alien, makes Knives feel dead, or like he is made entirely of bone.

    “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done for you. For us. I don’t think that’s anything to fear,” Knives says, still gentle, still looking at Vash like they are family.

    “You hurt me,” Vash says, tears burn his eyes. “You’ve hurt me so much.”

    “You don’t fear humans.”

    The somewhat horrific aftermath of "All the Things We'll Never Have"
