Summary
Pulled down by the clawing hands of gravity.
Falling.
Falling..
Falling...
Frantic, Vash reaches to grab something.
Anything to slow his fall.
The wind barrels into him, relentless. It is all he can hear.Hands beside his dancing along pristine keys.
It is dark. So very dark.Friendly faces he couldn’t make out.
Ozone overwhelms his sinuses, he feels it cling to the back of his throat until it tastes of blood.Watch the stars in the sky as they burn.
Maybe he should let gravity take him.The warmth of a shoulder against his.
Maybe this is how it was supposed to end.Sharing a drink.No...
No..
No.
I refuse.All the Love.
All the Peace.
All the Pain.
He reaches for it all.
For hope.Nothing more than grains of sand, lost in the wind. Leaving him to plummet to the ground below.
____
A story about a group of idiots going through it as their world is turned upside down. Maybe just this once, there is a silver lining.

Summary
"Bad. Stupid, very stupid." Grace can still hear Rocky's automated laptop-voice through the closed airlock door. "If Grace body poisoned by 'foreign contaminant', Grace die, contaminate spread and Rocky die—"
There's more blood smudged on the floors, the walls, leading up, up...Oh. There's a handprint. A handprint of blood. There's no way that could have happened without Grace realizing.
Rocky's still rambling on in the background: "—Adrian die, Stars-Erid-Earth die, all die because Grace is stupid."
Grace can hardly believe the conclusion he's about to draw. "I think someone's on the ship."
"Repeat words. I was narrating Grace-Rocky future."
"Rock, someone's on the ship."

Summary
Vash should've seen it coming, really: one moment, he was arguing with Wolfwood, voices stiff and straining with frustration. The next, he's rammed against the wall, breathing heavily as Wolfwood's arm pins him in place.
It would be easy to dislodge him, then hide in the bathroom for a shower that would do little to wash off the craving and inadequacy Wolfwood's proximity provokes—or to go back downstairs to get drunk at the bar, and later tumble in bed like nothing happened. It's a familiar routine.
However, something is different this time: Wolfwood seems to have no intention to let him go.
Written for Ace Trigun Week, Day 4: Touch-starved

Summary
It's another shitty little town, and another circular argument. Wolfwood realizes violence will never reach Vash the way he wants it to, so he tries something different.

Bookmarker's Notes
This speaks to one of the biggest things about Wolfwood I feel like I dont see a lot.
How much he and Vash are one in the same, but still different, and how that creates this internal conflict for Wolfwood.
Seriously, give this one some love, it's so delectable. -

Summary
That was a face he’d seen directed all across humanity and ached every time—that was love. Such raw, unbridled, drunkenly sick love.
𝘖𝘩, Vash thought, followed shortly by, 𝘰𝘩 𝘯𝘰.
- - -
It was funny, really. In all one-hundred-fifty years, no one had ever fallen in love with Vash before.
