    Summary

    Vash knew he was different from humans. After a century and a half, he'd gotten good at pretending those differences didn't exist, but that didn't mean they were gone.

    Summary

    “You’re here about the handyman ad?”
    “Sure am,” the stranger answers.
    “What’s your name?”
    There’s a pause, just a split-second too long. “Vash,” he says.
    Nick smirks and asks, “Like the famous outlaw?”
    Vash spreads his hands a little and smiles, chagrined. “Like the famous outlaw,” he agrees.
    “You don’t look like a deadly gunman.”
    “I get that a lot.”
    “Well, are you?”
    Vash blinks, eyebrows going up. “Am I what?” he asks.
    “Are you Vash the Stampede?”

    Summary

    He hates the way Vash is looking at him, the disbelief mixed with hope. He doesn’t deserve to have Vash gazing at him at all, not after what he’s done. “You really think that?” Vash whispers, and Wolfwood equally hates the fact he’d ever believe otherwise. “I’m helping make a difference?”

    He forces himself to meet Vash’s eyes again, keeping his voice as measured as he can. “It’s what you do, isn’t it?” he says, and there’s a hoarseness to it. “It’s what you always do.”

    Having accepted his death, Wolfwood instead struggles with the fact he survived and is forced to find a new purpose. It takes a village to raise a child, but a repenting priest and an immigrant space explorer to raise a whole orphanage.

    Summary

    You’ve heard of soulmates, of course, but they’re rare. They’re rare, and they’d never happen to someone like you. You’re not naive enough to think the universe is just, but even it wouldn’t be cruel enough to saddle someone with you.

    There’s still some part of you that craves it, a wistful longing you can never entirely abandon.

    Summary

    The Phantom Thieves are famous throughout Japan for their seemingly impossible heists; banks, museums, corporate offices - no target is, apparently, too difficult for this crew, and they ghost past security measures like the specters they’ve taken as their namesake.

    When Detective Goro Akechi lands the Phantom Thieves case, he’s sure that this will be the one that will get him the recognition he deserves. And when he gets his hands on their absolutely maddening leader, he's going to personally lock him up and throw away the key.

    Getting caught isn't in Akira's plans at all, but he is nothing if not inventive. And anyway, any detective who can get that close to him is intriguing, despite the danger.

    (Or perhaps, because of it.)
