Summary
“What’s gotten into you, anyway? I’m sure Shortie wouldn’t mind givin’ you a cuddle once we wrap up here.” Wolfwood teased, earning a raised eyebrow from Roberto across the table.
“Don’t gimme that look when you and I both know how bad Blondie has it, grandpa. Guy’s been simpering for days.”
“Listen, what newbie and the pup get up to is their business. You could stand to learn a thing or two from our gentleman outlaw, you know.”
Roberto spared Vash an appraising glance to which he offered a sad, appreciative smile in return. It was rare to receive approval from someone so guarded, but Vash could tell he was growing on the older journalist. It did little to assuage his fear, however, that he wasn’t good enough. Vash had spent decades avoiding intimacy after so many relationships had fallen apart for one reason or another, and he couldn’t bear to see through to the end the ones that didn’t. Outliving those he loved was quite possibly the most cruel part of his existence, but denial of the self was a close second.

Summary
If there was one thing most unbecoming of Vash The Stampede, it was utter silence.
Something that Meryl had grown used to in the weeks following Vash’s company was her ability to always know where he was. From his infectious laughter to the theatrical warbling that arose during Wolfwood’s teasing, Vash was rarely ever quiet. There were soft snores through the night while he slept; quick, successive taps on the van door during long drives. Now, he lay still and quietly save for the intermittent rise and fall of his chest, the only evidence that he was still among the living.
Or: Meryl insists on remaining by Vash’s side until he wakes from his Episode 7 collapse, and ruminates on the pain that Independent Plants must endure for sharing a world with humans who don’t deserve them.

Summary
Nick caught Vash out of the corner of his eye leaning against the doorframe of the station’s restrooms. Vash, ever the opportunist, raised his eyebrows and gave the smallest beckoning jerk of his neck.
That little shit.
Except, Vash was far from little, and instead a proper relic that defied the laws of nature and physics; though, Nick wasn’t too hung up on the details. Unlike Vash, he was just a man after all, and as The Good Book would imply, a slave to instincts that he was meant to suppress. Or, something.
(Or: Vash and Nick have an impromptu coupling in a seedy stopover restroom, then proceed To Have a Lot of Feelings About It)

Summary
A long horizontal scar stretched from one end of his abdomen to the other, low toward his hips. It was nearly invisible to the human eye after more than a century, but Nick couldn’t quite place why it seemed so peculiar.
“Hey, blondie… where’d this one come from?”
“Hm? Where’d what come from?”
“This scar, here.” Nick clarified, tracing his forefinger against it for emphasis, “I don’t think you ever told me. Ah, not that you have to; just curious, is all.”
Vash hummed to himself for a moment. It happened so long ago that he rarely paid it any mind, but every so often he could still feel the sting of such a transgression. The phantom pain was nothing compared to the lasting grief that he had no choice but to set aside.
(Or: Vash tells Nick about the trials he endured in order to become his most authentic self)

Summary
In that very room, Nicholas Wolfwood was fast asleep on the sofa bed their room provided. Nick, simple creature that he was, could not have been bothered to waste the energy pulling out the bed itself. His legs hung over one arm carelessly, a throw pillow beneath his head. Vash so desperately wished he were Nick in that moment.
He wished he were anyone but himself.(Or: Years of sexual repression rise to the surface, and Vash doesn’t know how to handle it)
(UPDATE: Oh baby, a triple!)

Summary
There was a trail of Qifrey’s blood from the entrance to the door the doctor had disappeared through.
Luckily, he didn’t have long to stand there, numb. The girls appeared moments later.
Olly swallowed, hating that he needed to ask questions from them right now, but also desperately needing to know how yet another test had gone so sideways. He cleared his throat, getting the attention of all four apprentices, and eloquently managed to ask, “…what happened?”
-
Qifrey and Olruggio figure out what life looks like after the silverwood seed is gone. Fair warning, it starts with a good amount of angst but moves into lots of comfort. Full of yearning all the way through.
You definitely don't have to read the earlier bits in the series - it's all just a series of Olruggio and Qifrey yearning.
