Summary
“Look me in the eye, Blondie, and repeat after me.”
“Repeat after me,” Vash parrots dutifully, like the little shit he is.
“I, Vash the Stampede, Broom for Brains, Dumb of Ass, Bearer of the Stupid Face—”
“There you go hurting my feelings again,” Vash says, but he’s smiling. A real one. As soft as mashed fucking potatoes. It pisses Wolfwood off enough to slam that pretty face into the concrete. Or into his own face. He hasn’t decided just yet.
“—will save my own life for once and get out of town without making an ass of myself.”
“You’re talking about my ass a lot.”
And then Vash kisses him.
OR
Nicholas, and the scars he doesn’t have.

Summary
“Tell me what’s wrong, Vash.”
He hesitates for several long moments. He’s already caused enough of a fuss today, has already caused Wolfwood enough worry. All he wants is to jump up, to plaster a smile on his face and wave Wolfwood’s hovering, uncertain hands away, insist he’s okay. But when he tries to move he just can’t, so instead he avoids Wolfwood’s panicked eyes and admits, his stomach curling with anxiety the whole while, “My back. It’s an old injury. But it’s fine. It’s –“
“I swear, spikey, if you say ‘fine’ one more time, I’m gonna rip out your spine and beat you to death with it.”
A decades old injury, the realisation that sometimes you need to accept a helping hand, and the horror of falling in love with a doomed man.

Summary
Vash is gone. The Eye of Michael is in shambles. Nicholas D. Wolfwood is at loose ends. He is a loose end. It’s just a matter of time before someone remembers he exists and comes to bring him back into the fold or finally put him out of his misery.
He leaves while JuLai is still a smoking ruin--shoulders his cross and walks away. He doesn’t have a destination in mind. He half-hopes he’ll just die out there, where the wind and sand can wear away the evidence of his brief, misspent life until all that’s left is the Punisher as a grave marker.
