Summary
Rewinding the tape, going back to fix mistakes. It feels easy when you're the Pupil of the Eye and the Harbinger of the Apocalypse, but the Archive is going to find out soon that a human mind and a human body, even his own, cannot host him without consequences.
So, some changes have to be done, first.
Jonathan Sims, newly appointed Head Archivist of The Magnus Institute, is about to have a very bad time.
Illustrated by sevvaddle and DCArtCorner.

Summary
Suddenly, Vash is shoving him back, his boot kicking the grenade just a bit farther away from them. Wolfwood stumbles, feet catching on uneven gravel. His nose slams into the ground, making him feel like his head has been filled with molten heat, thoughts stuttering to an abrupt halt like static blanketing over his brain.
And then the explosion hits and he’s falling.
(Or, Vash makes a decision that inadvertently hurts Wolfwood. He doesn’t take it well.)

I love myself a good injuryfic, and gotDAMN this is a good injuryfic. Descriptions of injury that you can practically feel, some top-notch woundcare intimacy, and a delightfully angsty twist that only brings them closer. That’s some real *chef’s kiss* kinda shit.

Summary
Wolfwood can't help the feelings he's begun having for his strange, nomad friend, Vash, and he thinks Vash feels it, too. If it were just him, the decision would be easy, but he's got all his kids at the orphanage to think about, as well.
When a stomach flu begins making the rounds through the orphanage, Wolfwood relies on Vash's help to care for everyone. As the medicine runs out and things start getting desperate, Vash reveals a secret he hopes can help heal everyone. But as Wolfwood succumbs to the illness himself, he might be beyond reasoning.

Bookmarker's Notes
Delightfully indulgent fluff with that perfect pinch of angst to top it off. It's nice, it's quick, it's got a bit of a dramatic flair, and a lot of exhaustion. What else could you want in a sickfic?

Summary
After July, Wolfwood is left with nothing to his name but a piece of paper and a heavy cross to bear, so he returns to the only roots he ever had to try his hand at healing. It's a difficult process, but soon enough he'll discover that there's a damn good reason he can't let go.
A voice calls from the east. He just needs to hear it.
(A story about grief, healing, love, and one funny little housecat.)

Summary
Vash feels one word blooming underneath his sternum. He shoves it back into the earthen pit of his gut. If he were honest—well, that’s what tended to get him into trouble the most, wasn’t it? The honesty. The vulnerability.
Some things have to be learned, or, sharing a bed does not come naturally.

A soft, warm vashwood oneshot that has just enough arguing to make a nice conflict without creating so much tension that it ruins the fluffy atmosphere. The banter is fun, the characterization is satisfying, and the fic is just all-around great

Summary
The blonde leaned in, angling his head towards Wolfwood’s neck. He was going to bite him, and Wolfwood would die here, his weapon in his hands, useless. He wanted to screw his eyes shut against the glare of those eyes, but he couldn’t. He thought about praying, but then didn’t see the point.
“I’m really sorry about this.” The voice in his ear was apologetic.
Wolfwood goes out on a Hunter job which takes an unexpected turn and he ends up tangled with the vampire who was supposed to be his target - in more ways than one.

Bookmarker's Notes
The writing style on this is *chef’s kids*. It’s got intoxicating descriptions, interesting vampire worldbuilding, and — of course — a healthy dose of Vashwood angst (both of the purely emotional and physical danger kind).
Also, spicy.

Summary
Wolfwood could say so many things to him. Instead, he does what he’s most familiar with: suddenly pulling in the motorcycle’s front brake and violently launching Vash out of the sidecar, sending him careening into the stifling desert air.
“You fucking piss me off!”
Traveling on No Man's Land, all the things left unsaid, and trying not to fall in love with a hurricane.

Summary
Vash isn't human. There's so much to him that is too much, too different, too weird to be comfortable around people. Humanoid, not human. Slowly, he starts to let Wolfwood see what that means. 5 times Vash showed Wolfwood the ways he wasn't human and 1 time Wolfwood made Vash realize that didn't matter.
Or, Vash is subjected to the mortifying ordeal of being known.

Bookmarker's Notes
Lovely characterization that feels believable for every second, heart-wrenching scenes, deliciously fluffy at times, full of banter, and (best of all) centers around Vash’s weird plant shit *without* making it smut (no offense to smut enjoyers or writers, it’s just not my thing).
My little autistic brain is screeching in joy, I love it dearly and probably will end up reading it again many, many times over.

Jonathan Sims has a secret, which really isn’t all that surprising. Everyone has secrets, everyone has troubled pasts, and everyone has things that they’d really rather hide.
In no place does this come into play more often than in the Crew of the Starship Aurora, who happen to be Jon’s secret in the first place.
or, an AU where a mishap with an eldritch entity leads the Mechanisms to being...somewhat entangled in the life of one Jonathan Sims.

Vaguely cracked but only insofar as the Mechanisms ought to be. Unique and far too easy to binge read at 12AM on Tuesday night (that is a compliment)

Niche? Yes. Delightful? Even moreso. A fix-it that somehow balances the classic Mechanism's/Bifrost Incident weirdness with actual plot and character consistency in a way that I absolutely adore
