Summary
Nicholas D. Wolfwood is hardly what one would call a connoisseur of literature. As far as he’s concerned, it sorts itself nicely into three buckets: smart books, scripture, and drivel. He avoids the first on principle, finds himself unwillingly dragged through the second more often than not, and dabbles in the third if the fancy strikes.
The book that’s caught his eye presents a conundrum he wasn’t prepared to confront at 10 AM on a bright, already-roasting Tuesday morning. He’s been left unsupervised in a general store while Vash takes care of some do-gooder something or other, and his boredom had him gravitating to the rack of double-dime novels tucked in the back corner. The drivel selection is top-tier. Most of the books he can open at random and land on something both intriguingly salacious and horrendously written, and Wolfwood has spent a solid fifteen minutes gleefully paging through paperbacks with covers featuring washboard abs and heaving bosoms before he spots the book that’s going to ruin his life.

Summary
“‘So, what am I s’posed to look out for? Sinners? Signs and wonders? The devil themself, lurkin’ ’round the corner to lure me into a life’a degeneracy?’
The expression of the stranger in white lights up like Wolfwood has presented him with the most wondrous gift.
‘Very glad you asked. Angels, sir! Real life angels! Well, you’re most likely to know them under the colloquial term Plant, but that is so... technical, don’t you think? Unbearably plain. It is divinity made flesh we are talking about, after all!’”
In which some people worship Plants as angels of salvation and Nicholas D. Wolfwood comes to regret not making this particular cult his problem sooner rather than never.

Summary
Obligatory MerMay posting for my current favorite: Vash the Stampede.
"Do you really think introducing a breeder to that tank is a good idea? Millions Knives is highly dangerous and incredibly territorial," she sighed, watching as the older man kicked his feet up onto the coffee table of the staff lounge.
"Newbie, you don't know this place like I do. I've seen every outcome introducing mers to each other can yield, good and bloody. I've got the scars from managing it. Trust me when I say, that fish ain't half as mean as he seems. Stick the shark in there, give it some time, and he won't be at the top of the food chain."
"But is that a good idea? They're critically endangered," she emphasized as he lit up a cigarette.
"Nobody's seen a lionfish species in centuries, and now we got two in our lap. One of which is very sociable. The only compatible breeder is the shark," he explained before taking a long drag and puffing out the smoke. "Besides, he's the only one that brute might not kill if Typhoon likes him."

Summary
When Vash wins two tickets for a swanky Sand Steamer cruise, there's only one person he ever even seriously considers inviting along: Wolfwood. It sounds nice, a whole week of quality time together, no running, no distractions—just two guys, a luxury ship, and a chance to relax. Unfortunately, those 'lucky' tickets come with a catch.
Turns out, the tickets only cover the barest of necessities, and if they want any extras—including booze —they'll have to cough up some serious cash. Cash they do not have.
But hey, looks like the ship offers winners of their newlywed game an across the board upgrade, and it can't be that hard to pretend to be married for some extras. And even if they win, sharing a bed in a fancy honeymoon suite can't end that badly, right?

Summary
The unnaturally colored fluid staining Wolfwood’s snarling mouth provided more evidence that he'd consumed several vials throughout the ordeal. The color it created when mixed with the splattered blood on Wolfwood’s cheeks made Vash's stomach twist, nausea climbing up his throat. He knew those vials would hurt in the long run and wondered how many years of life had just been stolen from Wolfwood.

Summary
"Vash, hair still wet from a shower and back in the JuLai-red varsity jacket he rarely — if ever — takes off, continues typing away on his phone, utterly unfazed by the sudden appearance of a man clad entirely in black a handful of steps away.
‘Good?’ he asks, giving Wolfwood a glance and a small smile like his day has been brightened by Wolfwood’s mere presence in it.
At least, that’s how Wolfwood tends to feel around Vash. Their shoulders brush as he walks past him, automatically grabbing Vash’s sports equipment to take it home. ‘Mh. Let’s go.’"
Vash 'the Stampede' Saverem and Nicholas D. Wolfwood have been living in each other’s pockets for years, and know all there is to know about the other.
Or do they?

Summary
Sometimes you just can't get to sleep. Sometimes you need to fill the space of two people sitting silently at a campfire. Sometimes you miss someone. Telling someone a story might help them go to bed.
Vash is really good at telling stories from old Earth and Wolfwood is around to hear them.
