Summary
Knives' perspective on meeting Wolfwood for the first time, eighty hours post Juneora Rock.
"So, you're with the Eye of Michael?" Chapel startled, his wild eyes making unwilling contact with Knives. Chapel did not look away. He could not. Knives continued, "Then… You will keep your contract and obey me. You will accompany my little brother once again. Find him. Guard him. And bring him back to me without further damage."

Summary
In the land of ice, an abandoned baby is found and adopted. He isn’t like his family and friends: his appearance is strange, his thoughts are even stranger, and his powers are enough to alienate him from everyone he loves.
In the land of fire, a bounty is put on a monster believed to be the cause of their drought and famine. Two brothers set sail: one yearning to avenge their parents, the other hoping to prevent another needless death.
In the end, they will find out once and for all if opposites really do attract, or if fire and ice are doomed to clash until they are both destroyed.

Summary
His fingers work aimlessly along Vash’s ankle. There’s a scar on his instep, puckered and shiny. It’s rough against his thumb. He’d never expected Vash’s tears to be tears of gratitude; he’d never been that foolish, to think his brother wouldn’t rage against necessity, but he’d held such unshakeable faith in their bond. Perhaps if Rem hadn’t -
“Knives,” Vash says. There’s a note of warning in his voice. He pulls his foot away, and Knives can only look at his empty hands. Soft, unscarred hands.
He knows the words will upset Vash before they crowd onto his tongue, but still, they spill out. He’s never outright lied to Vash; he’s never wanted to.
Though his chest has gone tight, he says, “It felt necessary at the time.”
On wounds, old and new and reopened.

Summary
“We don’t have all night,” Knives hissed at him. “The maintenance crew will–”
“The late shift guys like to take their time,” Vash said, staring at Knives’ chest with hooded eyes. Stroking his back, again. It really wasn’t as soothing as Vash likely meant it to be. But it seemed to soothe Vash. Through that, it calmed Knives secondhand.
“I still have work to do,” Knives said, gripping the headrest. He had long figured out how to disable the inner cameras of the cockpit for times like this. Vash took it as far more leeway than it really was.

Summary
You were never planning on having children, but you thought maybe it would be different if it wasn’t your fault. If you could say, “I didn’t make you, but I decided to do my best for you.” Like it would matter then that all you had was your best.
That was stupid. Their genesis does not change how yours they were. Your unpreparedness does not change what they needed from you.
You didn’t mean to be so young.

do you think when rem saw what had been done she was able to forgive the boys before it was over? do you think she went down blaming herself? did she find peace?

Summary
Knives makes a decision to cut off their old life at the roots, and Vash is carried by his tormented rising tide.
A modern-but-not-quite-modern AU set in a 70s/80s vintage America. Two brothers on the road, the heaviness of secrets long kept, and a road trip that is also an escape.
