    Summary

    No job was ever so simple. Yet for once, Wolfwood let himself believe in the mundanity of the position. That after so many years spent on the move, here was a strategic opportunity to stay still and smell the salty brine of the sea. He could disappear into the most remote region of the stormy coastline, where no man dared to go.

    All he needed to do was guard a lighthouse.

    The listing failed to mention it would talk.

    Summary

    A single raindrop of blood.  A flood of tears upon a grave.  Feathers of memory, freely given.

    Ten years after the fleet’s departure, a miracle is blooming in Hopeland. Day by day, forest overtakes the desert. How can this be? Old friends reunite to investigate and find themselves ensnared by something powerful, forced to revisit their rawest losses and mistakes. In the heart of the forest, a creature with a familiar face asks for help, but can it be him?

    Can the dead truly come back to life? How much can we change before we are no longer ourselves?

    Summary

    "Counterweight hangs in the center of the Golden Branch star sector, a forked path where the Perseus and Sagittarius arms of the Milky Way come together. Because of its location, life on this planet of billions brims with energy, and an exchange of cultures has led to an exchange of technologies. Automated robots valet vehicles, starships launch in the distance at regular intervals, holographic pop idols perform for holographic crowds. Giant humanoid mechs aid in tasks civil, commercial, and military, and sometimes you look up to them and think: We could have made them look like anything, but we made them look like us."

    --

    Desperate for money after burning one too many bridges with the local crime syndicate, Nicholas D. Wolfwood takes on an unusual and suspicious job on behalf of the mysterious corporation known as Sandtrak Synergies: bodyguarding the wanted hacktivist known as Vash the Stampede.

    Summary

    This is easy. This part of the after. Conversations that don’t mean anything. Conversations about bad smut and the garden that’s failed, because neither Vash nor Wolfwood have the ability to keep even hearty things alive in the climate. Talking about Wolfwood’s troublesome motorcycle or Milly and Meryl’s latest front page story. All easy and palletable. Frustratingly empty and Wolfwood feels himself losing Vash with each of these conversations. 

    “Vash.”

    Vash’s eyes darken immediately. “Hm?”

    “We should go somewhere."

    “Go somewhere?”

    “Sure. Why not?”

    “Why so?”

    Wolfwood came prepared for this. If he tells Vash that he’s worried Vash is withering away here in this house, that Wolfwood misses his spark, his life, that Wolfwood can’t bear how little he can help him, then Vash will find a way to dismiss it. Talk around it, laugh it off and tell Wolfwood to go visit Livio in November or join Midvalley when he travels. 

    “You’ve been all over the place, yeah?”

    Vash’s mouth purses lightly. “Sure.”

    “Well I sure as shit haven’t, you should take me somewhere.”

    Or Vash and Wolfwood heal in the aftermath of Knives one destination at a time.

    Summary

    (Worst time to get nabbed by bounty hunters? Maybe when your alien partner's busy going through their seasonal thing.)

    He closes his eyes, lets himself sink a little lower so he can make use of the pillows. Maybe Meryl has the right idea about a nap. His hand keeps ending up across his stomach and he should probably put the cigarette out because it’s a dumb idea to fall asleep with one lit. It doesn’t feel pressing though. It should, but it doesn’t. He’ll deal with it in a minute. Just wants a few more seconds of this before he has to move.
    Except it’s barely the afternoon and he’d got a solid eight hours the last night so why the hell is he nodding off like some toddler after a glass of warm milk?
    Nicholas sits up sharply and shakes his head, trying to shrug off the drowsiness, but it doesn’t fade. No – the room lists, and nausea churns, but the fog won’t clear.
