    Summary

    “Binghe is hard?” Shen Yuan asks, as if that isn’t the natural consequence of what he’d been doing. He blinks guilelessly at the bulge in his friend’s pants, noticeable even in the dark of his apartment.

    Binghe tenses. “A-Ah. That, um— That’s just something that…happens when…”

    He trails off, squirming a bit. Shen Yuan, in his infinite wisdom, assumes that what Binghe means is this is something that happens when he’s drunk, rather than it being a direct result of Shen Yuan’s attentions. His line of thought is that it would add more context to the fact that Binghe hardly drinks much. After all, dealing with an erection every time you drink sounds pretty inconvenient! Furthermore, in said infinite wisdom, Shen Yuan decides that the best way to respond is, “I’ll help you.”

    After a night sipping strange cocktails with unfamiliar ingredients, Shen Yuan finds himself with his inhibitions and impulse control practically nonexistent.

    An equally drunk Luo Binghe thinks he’s died and gone to heaven.

    Summary

    On the desk in between Yue Qingyuan and Shen Qingqiu was a printout of the email. Shen Qingqiu refused to look at it. If he tried very hard, he could pretend it wasn’t there. When the email had hit his inbox this morning, Shen Qingqiu had read it and reread enough to have it memorized, as he tried to comprehend the meaning of these words arranged in this order. The second that comprehension dawned upon him, he’d deleted the email then promptly tried to forget everything about it.

    He wasn’t being very successful on that front.

    The message, written with the extraordinary eloquence that Shen Qingqiu knew Luo Binghe was capable of, had been sent en masse to the entire faculty and student body. It stated two main points. Firstly, that Luo Binghe attested that Shen Qingqiu had never slept with, assaulted, molested, groomed, or was in any way inappropriate to him during his time at Cang Qiong Academy (thanks for the endorsement, Binghe!!). Secondly, that Luo Binghe was announcing this because he intended to marry Shen Qingqiu and did not want even the whisper of false impropriety to stain his Shizun’s name.

    Summary

    At sixteen, after a brutally violent incident that soaked his childhood home in blood, Vash runs away. Four years later, Nai uses every means at his disposal to get him back. Even if that means buying him from a brothel madam at an exorbitant price.

    ...
    When he made the sale, he had never once thought about what would come after. Every single step of the way until now he has planned and plotted and calculated, and now it feels like his head is blank, cleared of everything else except the cheap cherry gloss on his brother’s lips. He thinks of the word Vash used, again— Master— how it felt from Vash’s mouth, how he could get used to something like that.

     

    He draws his lips back with a smack. For a minute, Nai doesn’t know what to do, doesn’t know the next move in this game. He thinks about saying something, but he doesn’t know what to say. What, pray, is the right thing to say to your brother after four years apart, after the last thing you did in front of him was commit murder, after the last thing he said to you was ‘I hate you’?

    Summary

    Waking up isn’t like waking up at all.

    Vash’s body feels heavy, absent. As if he’s become nothing but his breath. Just the steady, shallow movement of air. His mind is somewhere between heavy and light, as if his sense of self plummeted so deep into the earth that it had come out the other side.


    Nai watches as Vash's body gets experimented on.

    Summary

    He wakes up next to a grave, which is not the worst way he’s ever woken up. Maybe. He’s a little fuzzy on certain details right now, like how he got here and why his mouth tastes like desiccated worm guts.

    Also, what his name is.

    Wolfwood is resurrected with no memory of who he was, and has to find his way home. Vash, and his orphanage of adorably fussy children, help with that.

    Summary

    “I see you haven’t improved your aim,” Nai says, vicious, and blades creep out his arms like thorns, a wicked intent that Vash feels slice clean through him, a whole rickety staircase and too much blood and misery in between for sanity, for reason; his heart pounds in a sickening rush, fear and hate and fury-

    Another step; another shot.

    “Careful, brother,” Nai taunts. “You might actually hit me.”

    Vash bares his teeth at him, shifting onto the balls of his feet, ready to run, to protect, to stop him at all costs. “Don’t tempt me, Nai.”

    Summary

    Knives finds a blade-bright smile to ward against a rising tide of fury, hunger, love—the urge to take and take and take, when what he really wants is for Vash to give in. He says, “Never? Rude of you to leave me with all the work, then.”

    Vash swallows hard. Replies quietly: “Nai, what—what do I have to do to keep them alive.”

    The smile slips.

    The tide threatens to bowl him under.

    Summary

    He’s serious. Dead serious.

    Knives peers down at Vash, chin in hand. "He's mine," he says simply. "His first breaths were mine. Our hearts beat in time. And when you and all your kin are dust in the sand of this place, he will be mine still. Does that comfort you?"

    "No," Roberto says. “No, it doesn’t. You think he’ll survive that?”

    “I will make him survive it.”
