    Summary

    Qifrey listened to the chatter, the comments, the passing remarks. He felt the ground steady beneath his shoes as he walked from heel to toe, never quite daring to lift his sole up from the glowing stones. Though it stretched the journey out for longer, none saw fit to hurry him. If anything, both Coco and Agott seemed eager to take their sweet time running off to whatever sights caught their interest before drifting back.

    Were Qifrey to turn his gaze upward, all he would find were dazzling lights spattering the city's narrowed skyline, akin to a pond reflecting a swarm of pyreflies as he sat at the bow of a rickety, old boat. Such brilliance wasn't reserved for the grandeur of Silver Eve, rather the sway of the moon, no matter the occasion. It was nothing new, yet...

    Charming as the lights were, they now served to only worsen the ache in his temples. How his eye stung so fiercely were he to stare too long at any particular light too bright, piercing through his skull as the Silverwood does—

    Adjusting to life outside of a cursed fate is difficult, but familiar company and familial connections make it a fair bit easier.

    Summary

    Sinocia blinks at him, then says, "You're quite young for that, Olruggio. Are you sure?"

    "No. That's why I said I wanted your opinion."

    // Olruggio, increasingly aware of and unsettled by the many lapses in his memory, starts keeping a record of his days in order to find out what, if anything, is ailing him. Qifrey doesn't realize what he's doing until it's nearly too late.

    Summary

    Something, equal parts wariness and weariness, stirs in Olruggio’s eyes whenever Qifrey makes some reference to the future — when he indirectly promises a tomorrow, a next week, an ‘after your commissions are done’. It’s the subtlest thing, a flicker, a spark; someone who knew him less well might not pick up on it. But Qifrey knows Olruggio as well as he knows himself, and he can hardly in good conscience begrudge him his flinch of cynicism. Not when it’s wholly his own fault for having put it there.

    Fool you once, shame on me. Fool you twice, still shame on me. Fool you thrice… well, if it’s any consolation whatsoever, I was fooling myself most of all.

    Summary

    Qifrey hasn't been to visit since Beldaruit offered Coco a place in his atelier.

Can be read if you are an anime only watcher, but there will be Qifrey backstory spoilers. No chapter 40 or chapter 93 spoilers, though hinted at.

    Summary

    The truth is spilled, and a night of indulgence is sure to have its consequences. Truly, some would think the story writes itself over and over and over again.

    Though it is only human to hope for a different ending.

    “Have we done this before?” Olruggio’s question is muffled from where he’s made himself comfortable. He absently traces patterns onto Qifrey’s skin, unable to stay still.

    “Which part?” Qifrey stretches his arms out in front of him, fighting against the branches making his joints stiff. He pointedly ignores the ivy that crawls up his wrists.

    "Of course not, but—"

    "Then there ya fuckin' go. I'm dealin' with it." He hitches the Punisher higher on his shoulder and keeps his voice low, dangerous. "Can argue about it all ya want later. Look after her."

    Summary

    “So you haven’t really told me what’s gonna happen when you absorb the plants,” Wolfwood said, wiggling the fingers of his non-Punisher hand in the air in front of them.

    A soft laugh rose above the grit of their feet.

    “Well, it’s a little different every time. Mostly I just talk to them through the glass and comfort them. You’ve, uh, seen my glow and feathers, some of that. Then I just pay my respects when it’s all over.”

    The overt lightness of his words left Wolfwood with the distinct impression that it wasn’t that simple.

    Summary

    It goes without saying that an orphan like Nicholas has never seen a Plant. From illustrations and descriptions, he imagines it as some sort of bulb or glowing ball suspended in a tank. They’re so rare and protected these days, kept away from the grubby little hands of anyone who doesn’t live in a major city.

    But somehow, Nicholas knows what he’s looking at now isn’t a Plant. Even from the other end of the room he can see arms and legs and something human in there, swathed in something else.

    Nicholas, all at once, is overcome with a sensation he’s only ever felt once before. Looking at the thing in the tank, his voice dies in his throat, overcome with a need to be quiet, to not disturb it. Not quite fear, but something so reverent every animal instinct in his brain begs him to obey. That not-Plant is something else. Not human. Not worm. Not alive and not dead. Something other.

    Something greater.

    Summary

    Wolfwood learns only after the initial meeting that Vash’s hair is blond and not a deep, violent red.

    They meet for the first time when Vash shows up in the middle of the night, looking more dead than alive– more writhing mass of blood than anything particularly humanoid– and begs to please be let in because he is injured and needs somewhere to heal and to hide. Wolfwood does not know who or what is at his door, but the more Vash talks, the more he says that he just knows this is his best shot, the more Wolfwood thinks he’s right.

    Wolfwood invites him in, knowing full well that he’s saying goodbye to the last shred of sanity he can claim to have, but… he does it anyway. Then the two of them spend the long, lazy days of late summer together, sharing bottom-shelf whiskey and bedtime stories in the citronella-scented night, even as monsters lurk in the shadows. Even though Vash may very well be one of those monsters. They can only hope there’s time to sort out their feelings before Vash’s past catches up to him.

    Summary

    After decades of conflict, Vash can finally settle down and enjoy a quiet life with his companions. Having the "legendary gunman" always within reach is a refreshing change of pace for Meryl, who now spends her time chasing insurance contracts rather than humanoid typhoons. But even peace time is not without challenges. Vash's lifetime of running from gunfight to gunfight has left scars deeper than either he or Meryl are prepared to confront. When those scars manifest as unimaginable night terrors, Meryl's own trauma resurfaces as a result. The two of them are faced with the stark realization that living a domestic life side by side isn't going to be a simple or easy affair.

    Vash is used to running away, and Meryl is used to letting him go. Now with the prospect of them causing each other mutual harm, they'll have to learn to communicate if they want to work through decades of emotional baggage. Can Meryl overcome both hers and Vash's scars to reach out a hand in healing? And can Vash accept that there really is someone who wants to stay with him despite the pain?
