Summary
Akechi Goro is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Akira thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
Kurusu Akira is a fascinating mystery and probably dangerous, Goro thinks. It would be stupid to pass up the opportunity to learn more about him.
And after all, there’s no time like the present. Why make a vague promise to stay in touch when they could seize the moment right after their first meeting? Why not make the first move before their opponent even realises the match has started?
It’s not like spending the day together could somehow change the game completely...
(OR: Akira accidentally speedruns Akechi’s entire confidant track on the day they meet, and opens up some new options in the process.)

actually SO GOOD, the POV switching is really the cherry on top, the author is amazing at characterizing both of them and the nuances they observe in each other

Summary
Then he took a deep breath and he changed. He ironed out every fold in his posture and his face until he looked like Superman again. His shoulders were broad, his gaze was confident, and his smile showed no sign of embarrassment or fear.
It’s genuinely uncomfortable to watch.
Especially since Bruce knows that change. He’s seen it in the mirror before entering parties or nightclubs. He’s always referred to it, internally, as 'putting on my better face.' The façade is his least favourite part of the day, ranking just below 'getting punched by supervillains.'
The idea that Superman is just Kal's better face, that would explain a lot.
It would also mean Bruce isn't alone.

Summary
“Clark,” at last he speaks, and Bruce’s expression is— his artificial smile is nowhere to be seen, his face a mask so blank it’s eerie, as though he’s been carved from stone. “Clark. You’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying.”
“No,” echoes Clark stubbornly. “I mean it. I’m in love with you.”
“You’re in love with me,” says Bruce, flatly. “After years of knowing each other, just like that. You’re suddenly in love with me.”
it's clark's birthday; he gets drunk. and really, who cares that there are other people in the room, or that he was worried about confessing in the first place for a reason? someone should tell bruce how much he's loved.

Summary
“Each time they loosen more, grow more casual, kicking boots from their feet and shrugging shirts over their heads until they’re left in their underclothes, climbing in beside each other like it’s natural, closing the gap in the space between them in the bed without talking about it, always without talking.“
Four times Levi stays the night with Erwin and the feelings that come with them.

Summary
“Don’t ever do that to me again.”
“Make you rescue a Thomas…from bandits?”
Wolfwood looks down at the wound in Vash’s shoulder. He'd mended this one first, hands shaking, stitches carefully placed.
He looks over at the wound in Vash’s side. He'd mended this one second, hands steadier, breathing less so.
He looks at Vash’s mismatched fingers, grasping thinly at the sand, masking his pain.
He looks at the light, steady and shining in Vash’s eyes, meeting his own.
“...Yeah.”
_________
A runaway Thomas brings Vash and Wolfwood closer than ever before.

Summary
(“you’ve been shot,” said Vash the Stampede, who shouldn’t’ve been there, who’d run away from home under Elendira’s watch at least two years before, maybe even longer ago than that. Nicholas had only seen him once or twice, but a face like that had been unforgettable.
“very astute.” There’d been copper and iron on his tongue, past his lips. “thanks for telling me.”
Vash’s hands covered his own and pressed down harder, his frown covering his whole face—furrowing his eyebrows, twisting his lips, scrunching his nose. Twins someone had told him at onboarding or whatever had passed for it, but the resemblance was passing. This had been someone different, distinct and disarming. A face broken in by softer expressions.
“keep that energy,” blood had been welling through Vash’s fingers, slower than it had been. The City said nothing in return. “i think i can fix this.”
“can i see your credentials?” His breath had blown bubbles through his chest. —and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning— “are you qualified for that?”
“i misspoke. you can take that energy down, like, half-a-watt.”)

Summary
The harsh cries of the jays faded, the trees crowding in thick and close, until even the rustling of leaves was stifled. Vash’s breaths turned loud in his ears, his heart picking up the unfamiliar tempo of anticipation.
Just as he hadn’t expected to find an invasive shrub in this part of the woods, so too had he been unprepared to find a man slumped in the cradle of a wych elm’s roots.

Summary
As with many things in their lives, it started with a shootout. Always a damn shootout, with Nick yelling, Vash pleading, and their blood pounding in their ears, hearts in their throats. And as with many things in their lives, it ended in harsh breaths and hands smeared with blood.
Loving someone was a dangerous and bloody business. It was going to get him killed.

A voice calls from the east. He just needs to hear it.

Summary
Meryl can't reconcile within her mind, a seraphic face and the eyes of a sufferer. "Well?" she asks again because she can't help herself. Everyone has a daemon on Gunsmoke, and the absence of one is jarring.
His smile strains. "It's complicated," says Vash, because it always is.
Daemons are part of whatever normalcy has been left of Earth, carried over light centuries by humanity. Records through time on No Man's Land claim that the notorious Humanoid Typhoon, Vash the Stampede, does not, in fact, have one.

Summary
Nicholas has been on the receiving end of everything Vash has to offer - his apologetic smiles and his impossible plans, his brushes with death and his boundless trust.
As least, he thought he had.
“Vash?”
The blondes hand moves fluidly over the trigger, and the barrel shifts into place with a sickening click. The metal is deathly cold where it presses against Nicholas’s forehead, and his breath hitches as he stares down the barrel.
“What did he do to you?”

Summary
Fear gripped Wolfwood’s heart when he saw Vash silhouetted against the dying light: a shambling, semi-divine smoking gun brought low from the heavens. And then Vash stumbled on a rock and went down in an ungainly flutter of wings, and Wolfwood relaxed. Same old idiot.

Summary
Alexander takes the letter from my hands, and I know he sees the name on the envelope because he sets it on the table without opening it, quickly, like the words would burn him if he read them.
“Oliver,” Alexander says carefully, his voice a mixture of fear, wonderment, and grief. “Are you sure you want me to –?”
“I need to know if you can see what I see,” I tell him. “You’re the only one who could be objective about it. Meredith’s too prejudiced against him. Pip would just pity me. I can’t talk to Wren. You’re the only one who can be objective. You’ll tell me if it’s nothing. You always have.”

"What exactly does partying look like?"
Shi Qing Xuan groans. "'What does partying look like,' he asks me," she laments. "Partying looks like drinking and dancing and having fun! You were a prince, you should know stuff like this."
"I was a serious cultivator," Xie Lian counters. "You may have heard of me." Hua Cheng laughs. "And anyway I'm not allowed to drink."
"Foolish Prince, Swordsman Poet, no rules, just right!" Shi Qing Xuan insists. "You can go back to being repressed tomorrow. But tonight who cares."
--
No rules just right! Just for one night, though.
