Summary
To outsiders, Phainon is the Crown Prince's omega attendant, a courtesan whose only purpose is to fulfill his master's nightly needs. But behind closed doors, he is a caregiver, a manager, and a friend. At the heart of it all is Prince Mydeimos, the man Phainon has dedicated his life to. A man who will not touch him. A man Phainon has long accepted that he could never have.
Phainon's devotion runs deep, but little does he know, so does Mydei's. And confronting it could spark a fire that Phainon had long thought extinguished.

Summary
Mydei first hears of Phainon’s past one night by the fire.
On the outskirts of Okhema, a flask of ambrosia passes between them, the air heavy with silence. Liquor loosens Phainon’s lips and he speaks casually about destruction and loss and ruin. About a friend who ran with him through wheat fields he’ll never see again, and a mother who sang in a language no one speaks anymore.
He laughs as he tells Mydei that he aches to go back home — to his friends, his family. He laughs and laughs between sips of wine, like none of it means anything.
The end draws near. Mydei and Phainon find each other anyway.

Summary
Neuvillette has that calculative and assessing look to him. A meticulous nature that Wriothesley hungers for in a partner. Neuvillette seems thorough and slow to give in.
Fuck, but there’s something wrong with Wriothesley. He must be tired. Shellshocked. A bit of both, to be this wanton for a man he has just met.
- Wriothesley, a boxing coach, finds himself torn away from the BDSM scene by a past dominant's mishandling of their relationship. A year later, he is offered a dry bartending gig at The Palais, an exclusive BDSM club for those in high society. Neuvillette, a skilled shibari instructor by night and a lawyer by day, catches Wriothesley's eye. Could Neuvillette be the dominant Wriothesley has been searching for?

Summary
A bleak look crossed Wriothesley’s face and Neuvillette realized that he was being allowed to see such an expression. Though it caused something unidentifiable in him to ache like a physical pain, Neuvillette was honored to be allowed to see such a rare, fragile thing. “Because it is better to have him in my life in any capacity,” he said, “than not at all.”

An outing to see an opera together turns into a discussion of love, of pain, and of doing anything for the one that means everything.

Date's only here so he can put food on the table and see Ritsuko on occasion, so why does he keep bumping into this walking twig of a man who looks like he's barely out of college? Seriously, it's been at least three times now.
(In which Ryuki is a popular TV star in the latest mystery drama series that has all of Japan buzzing. Date, a security guard who's never heard of either until now, doesn't get the hype.
He gets it eventually.)

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.

For Me It Was Love by Turbuggy

Summary
for a while it was love, wasn't it?
for me it was love.It was growing late, the suns making their lazy descent beyond the horizon, and the air about Noman’s Land was beginning to cool. It sent a chill down Vash’s spine, and he wondered how the days could keep moving forward with such indifference. Didn’t they know it was over? Didn’t they know the story was finished, before it had even begun?
Would the planet remember a priest, once his skin had turned to sand, and his bones to clay? An angel would remember him, long after.
In which Wolfwood has died, and Vash must bury him.

Summary
Wolfwood carries a body.
Vash is a walking death wish. A race between self-sacrifice and skill, and in all Wolfwood’s shitty years on this shit-ass planet he’s never met a man with so much of each.
So maybe Vash taking a bullet to the head for him shouldn’t have been a surprise.

Summary
“Okay,” Vash said. “Wolfwood, I- I’m carrying.”
Wolfwood leant his body forward, sluggish gaze trying to spot a non-existent luggage on Vash’s hands or his back. It pulled a smile from Vash, however small it might be against the maw in his heart. “It’s not on me. It’s, uhm, in me.”
Wolfwood blinked. Once. Twice.
His finger pointed to Vash’s body—his stomach, to be precise.
Vash nodded, worrying his bottom lip. Wolfwood pointed to himself, then.
Another silent nod, and Vash balled his hands into fists, shoulders raised to brace himself of Wolfwood’s reactions. He’d take anything the man threw at him; every knife and disbelief and venom and possibly rage.
He didn’t brace himself for Wolfwood’s laugh.
“How much more of an angel can you be, giving me blessings right and left in my life?”
Wolfwood has left Vash a blessing. Or more precisely, two blessings.

Summary
Everyone tells Vash that flora can't bloom on this desolate little planet. He knows that's a lie. They're blooming perfectly fine in his lungs, lining his ribcage and scratching up his esophagus. Red geraniums. They've been spilling out of his mouth since the July incident and falling on his pillow like blood.
He deserves it. A flower petal for each person he decimated in that city.
What he doesn't deserve: Nicholas D. Wolfwood.
Vash doesn't remember much thanks to Nai's memory warping. All he knows is he's done terrible things, leveled an entire city, and he's coughing up flowers for a man who probably thinks he's dead. What happens when Wolfwood shows back up in his life? Will he be able to remember what Nai stole? Will he allow himself the honor of love?
Set post Trigun Stampede, starting in episode 18 of the '98 Trigun and diverging from there.

Summary
Behind the scenes - in the cracks between planes, and the gaps behind time - the Ring of Brass lives on.
The Sightwarden of Avalir lives a long life, as does his family. A person is made up of their memories, and the Archmage Por'co's memories rest in young and responsible hands. Draconic souls never truly die, and the laughing ghost of the Guildmaster is more than happy to wreak merry chaos across the many planes. If one were to look deep into the glowing blue of the ley lines, they might catch a glimpse of the Herald and the Architect Arcane, who waltz hand in hand along the flicker and spark of the magical veins.
The world ends, and then restarts again. The souls of those who saved it rest easy.
For the most part.
***
One by one, the Ring of Brass finds their way back home.
(Zerxus, as always, is the last to arrive.)

Summary
His face is almost, almost, Evandrin’s but sharper, the colors all wrong, the hair too jet black and too long, the eyes slitted and pupiless. It should be repulsive, this twisted mirror image of the man Zerxus can’t remember not loving, should be terrifying where it’s nothing but beautiful instead.
