    Summary

    His eyes are swollen the day of the funeral. In that way it’s like the first time they met. Legato was small, bruise-faced, mostly broken; Nai, with his elegant white hand, had tipped his chin back and looked into his soul.

    “Did you want it?” he’d asked.

    There were three answers Legato could have given, two real answers if he didn’t play dumb, and he knew even then that his master had no patience for stupidity, even less for people who pretended at it.

    “Nothing has ever happened to me that I didn’t want to happen,” Legato said.

    And Nai, handsome Nai, looked at him with pleasure in his eyes and smiled.

    Summary

    Vash watches as Legato’s hand trails up Knives’ face, carding his fingers through his blonde locks before loosening the tie holding his hair in place. Knives’ hair spills out in waves, an ocean of pale gold shining in the afternoon sun, and Vash feels desire and anger simmering low in his gut. Knives never kept his hair long. It stayed cropped and spiked up at all times when they were teenagers, and as much as Vash missed his hair— and as much as Knives knew that he did—he refused to grow it out, refused to let it creep past his ears.

    But here they are now.

    Summary

    Sunburst. Legato dashed his hand across his eyes, then sank into the nest of wires. They crossed themselves like a bed of snakes. Protecting the sweet fruit that hadn't ripened yet. Their thick bodies supported Legato as he crossed the perilous distance and came to lay next to his savior.

    "I've found him."

    He spoke gently into Knives' ear as his voice slipped and layered over his breath.

    "The one who put you here. I know you have your own ways to make this right." Legato felt heat funneling into his body from the gut. It spread outward, like a stain on cloth. He was stained. Human and vile. His imperfection couldn't be helped. When in the presence of a perfect being, how could he even pretend to be unsullied by his nature. He ignored the stiffness in his pants and pressed his lips closer to Knives' ear. His voice ghosting into him, hopefully touching the mind asleep beneath. "Your rebirth will be soon, when this body, too destroyed, will be returned to full glory. To witness it…" He shivered. "I will be there. My master. At your side when you return fully to us."

    Summary

    There’s screaming, whimpering. Someone choking on a breath before gagging. It’s him, it’s him. Oh god does it hurt, it hurts –

    “It’s alright,” Vash shouts over the noise. “It’s alright, hold on. I think you’re just… You’re just…” He doesn’t have to say it for the both of them to know. The change in light must have sent Nai into heat. They’ve only seen it induced in plants, never on independents.

    The thought that it’s happening to him enrages him only long enough until the urge to push overcomes it.

    'Because no one bothered to tell you about the piano before, you get the sense you’re not supposed to know about the piano, like a committee somewhere decided that the saxophone player is not allowed to touch the piano. Now that you know it’s real, you pace the halls with your eyes closed and your head cocked out like a roadrunner, trying to find the source of the noise and feeling insane.'

    Summary

    The man’s glasses glint as he inclines his head, and then Nai is staggering back, ears ringing, gunpowder burning on the recycled air.

    Nai coughs, a wet, sick noise. In front of him, the man lowers his gun—Nai never saw him raise it. “Vash?” Nai asks numbly, and it’s humiliating how small his voice sounds beneath the echo of the gunshot.

    Vash hums, stalking forward, unmoved by the feeble tentacles Nai conjures around himself. “You look like Knives,” he says, and oh, that’s his brother’s voice, an unfamiliar taunt in it that makes Nai’s stomach hot and twisted. “Should I kill you in his place?”

    ***

    Vash comes home.

    He's just not the right Vash.

    His left hand is under my head,
    and his right hand embraces me!

    Something twisted deep in Nai's stomach.

    "What is this," he finally whispered, all too aware of Vash's quickened breath. "Why are they—?"

    Vash interrupts Nai's very important Bible-reading session to share an intriguing discovery with him.

    Pornography.

    Summary

    For the Bottom Knives Week 2025

    Behind some veils hanging from the ceiling, there was Knives, sleeping on a big, low bed, unbothered and at peace, in a nest of long sheets, glowing softly in light shades of cerulean and white and silver - Knives' colours.
    His feathers were everywhere on his bed and sprouted from under the sheets along his skin too, slowly and softly rising up and down as he breathed peacefully in his sleep.
    Vash didn't lower his gun but couldn't help but stare at the sleeping form of his twin. 

    The first time he'd laid his eyes on Knives after almost forty years…and he far exceeded all expectations.

    He still looks like the Fifth Moon…pink and vermillion, golden and white, light blue and cold.

    Vash is on a hunt, for blood and for lust. The object of his ire and desire: Knives.

    But is there still love under all the ugly hate and the feverish passion?

    Summary

    "Vash," Nai started. The keys were a blur under his fingers. When had he blinked last? He didn't dare. Vash's approving palm came to rest on his thigh, and stray droplets of whiskey soaked into his pants. The glass was in Vash’s other hand now - Nai watched him take a sip out of the corner of his eye. Could he stop playing? "What," he tried, had to stop to lick his dry lips before continuing, "What are you doing here?"
    Vash laughed. It was an open and honest sound, so sweetly charming that his heart throbbed in the hollow of his ribcage.

    "Nai," he said, drawing it out into a playful drawl. He squeezed Nai's thigh. "I need a reason to visit my big brother?"


    Knives has never known how to handle his brother. 150 years in, that hasn't changed.

    Summary

    Vash rests one knee on the bed as he leans over, thumbing aside damp hair to check Legato’s temperature. The backs of his fingers brush against an old scar. A remnant of their last big fight, of Vash’s unwilling bullet and the instinctive flick of Legato’s threads that managed against all odds to keep him alive. 

    A small furrow appears between Legato’s brows at the touch. “Is there something you require of me?”

    “You invaded my mind first.” Vash lightly knocks their foreheads together. “Weirdo.”

    Legato has a bad pain day. Vash does what he can to help.

    Knives’ hand shoots between them, pressing against Vash’ chest, pushing him back far enough to stare down between them, breath hitching, where Vash’s downy feathers part to reveal—

    Summary

    He’s heard about it, from other subs who went through it, an aftermath, a body ravaged by greed.

    Nothing they’ve told him holds a candle to it. A part of him—already broken, hardly mended—breaks again, the longer he stays there, in between Vash and Legato. His body shakes as he tries to anchor his thoughts. His insides hurt; his skin is rubber stretched too thin. Everything in him bangs against a cage.

    But because Vash and Legato were experienced in their ways, because they knew him—in their own ways—they’re able to get him back to his body; to make his heart beat a tune that wasn’t so melancholic. They were able to make it so that Nai was Knives again—not the scared kid who didn’t want to lose his brother.

    Once he settles down, he sneaks a glance at Vash, who remains silent, the weight of his hand around Knives’ thighs to ground him.

    Vash hadn’t talked to him afterwards. When they were done and Knives was safe, Vash had left again.

    --or, vash always leaves. this time, he might just stay;
