    Summary

    Nicholas groans loudly at Vash’s words, the sound full of fond exasperation. “Yeah, get up here, y’deadbeat. Come earn yer keep.” He’s laboriously rolling himself over as he speaks: the big swell of their twins doesn’t make it easy.

    Vash wakes Wolfwood up and then makes himself useful.

    Summary

    “My… I don’t know, 154th? Or something… The years sort of start to blend together at a certain point.”

    Wolfwood grumbles. “Don’t say that shit. Reminds me that you’re old.” He punctuates the complaint with a light flick to Vash’s cheek. After Vash whines again, he can hear the smile that sneaks into Wolfwood’s voice as he continues speaking. “Why didn’t you say anything? We could’ve celebrated.”

    It’s not an intentional silence—Vash doesn’t think it’s a stupid question—more so that he just doesn’t know how to answer. He opens and closes his mouth. A century and a half ago, Vash celebrated this date with Rem, and with his brother… and now Rem’s bones are rotting somewhere beneath the sand, and his brother is a monster. A true monster, with no love lost for Vash or for humanity or even for their sisters who he claims to fight for. Not the person who Vash thought he was, at any rate, a hundred and fifty years ago.

    What is there to celebrate, anyway? Vash is hardly better than Knives himself.

    ---

    Vash would rather skip being celebrated altogether than celebrate his birthday alone.

    Summary

    “Hey,” Wolfwood says, approaching from behind and watching the other turn his good ear towards him, “Got a minute to talk?”

    There’s a beat of silence before the other responds. “I’m not Livio,” he says simply.

    Wolfwood feels something painful tighten in his chest, and he takes a moment to chew on his lower lip as he considers his words. He hasn’t spent a lot of time with Razlo; in hindsight, he understands that some of Livio’s moodier days at the orphanage were, in reality, not Livio’s days at all. Still, knowing that now doesn’t mean that he knows Razlo in any real sense of the word. But he wants to know him—he wants to try.

    “I don’t care,” he settles on after a moment, “You’re still my brother.”
    -
    Against all odds, Wolfwood lives to see another day, and he finally gets the chance to talk to his brother again.

    Summary

    Vash knew he couldn’t heal. He wasn’t made for that. But if he could give someone like Legato a piece of his power thanks to a stolen arm, couldn’t he offer it again—just this once—but softer? Kinder? For someone who mattered?

    The world owed him at least that much.

    (Please, work. He'll never ask for anything again.)

    Summary

    Wolfwood had long made peace with the inevitability that, as it had done so many times since he was a child, his body would betray him again someday.
