‼️TRIMAX SPOILERS ‼️

This was for Vashwoodweek Day 1: Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story.

Had this drafted up a couple weeks ago but I obviously procrastinated till the end and rushed to finish so don’t mind any mistakes and how

inconsistent and sloppy it looks some places 💜

I had small details I wanted to keep despite being rushed like the darkness creeping in till it enveloped the canvas, ww being glowey as if not fully tangible, “a piece of Vash” falling into the glass and it also retaining that glow as if protected against rlly touching the dark

Also find it in my TikTok

Okay, So Vashwood Week was fun XD I am still working on the fic for it, but RL decided to fuck me over sideways so I kinda crashed and drew sth for the whole week :D 

Faith is seriously my favourite, i just really like the visuals of it :D Rest and Light are very close seconds tho D: 

I will have to print these out as stickers and go wild with sticking them basically EVERYWHERE!!!

Happy Vashwood week raghhh 🫶🤍💐🌸‼️

The confidance of being exhausted compells me

[kidsomeday]

A Coffee Shop/Mafia AU originally plotted for Day 5 of Vashwood Week. Both life and this story got away from me. A sequel to my Day 2 Vashwood Week fic, Never Hold Back on Matters of the Heart.

Vashwood Week 2023 - Day 1

Time to throw words at a page because it's apparently Vashwood week and, well, Why not? Apparently this series is all I can think about anymore.

Warnings for Trigun Maximum spoilers and major character death. Day 1: Soulmate AU/ Smoke / Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story. - Richard Siken

He doesn't like the way the smoke curls inside his chest. The taste of it is familiar, but the way it turns his throat dry is unpleasant. Instead of warmth spreading through his ribs and filling the emptiness there, he just feels like he's choking to death, trying to swallow something too big to digest.

“You don't have to wait with me,” he says for what feels like the hundredth time.

Livio scoffs from his place on the other side of Wolfwood's grave.

“He'd never forgive me if I left you out here alone.”

The words make Vash inhale too sharply, pull more heat than air. “It's just a cigarette,” he wheezes, “I wasn't going to leave without saying goodbye.”

“I didn't say you were. I just said he wouldn't want you to be alone.”

The Punisher stands between them in the same place Vash had set it a year ago. It's different, now, festooned with small decorations and the evidence of visits from children who'd probably never even known the man beneath it.

He's different, too. It's hard not to be when you realize everyone who knew you before is gone. The ticket to the future is blank – the past is etched in stone. He rubs his hands together in an attempt to keep the feeling in them. Ignores the fact that the rest of him is just as numb – has been numb for hours. He wonders if this is how it felt for his sisters, for Knives, or-

“You about finished?” “Almost.”

The last drag is the worst. He can feel his eyes start to water even before the coughing starts. Livio is quiet. He doesn't comment on the way Vash's eyes never stop watering, or the way his breathing never really evens out.

Razlo is the one who finally crosses the unspoken boundary between them to clap a hand on Vash's shoulder. They both pretend it isn't the only thing keeping him on his feet. “You wanna give me one of those?”

Vash hands over the carton, hands shaking.

“Sorry,” he says, “I'm not sure I'll be able to get through a second one.” “That's a damn shame, I was kind of hoping you'd stick around.” Vash laughs, a little ragged, a little frantic. He doesn't like the way everything is still so cold. “You'll remember him, right? I just... I want to make sure someone will remember him.” “I don't think either of us is going to forget that ass-kicking for a long time.” Vash opens his mouth to say something, to joke back, but it comes out as a strangled sob. His knees are giving out. They sink to the ground together.

“I wanted to stay,” he gasps, “There's so much I wanted to do... ” “You did more than enough.” “But I was supposed to be here... I don't want them to disappear.” “They won't” Livio says quietly, “We'll remember.”

“Do you promise?” “I promise.” Something warm moves through him. It starts in the tips of his toes and spreads up through his entire body like a wave.

It's hard to see with the light behind his eyes getting brighter. It's hard to hear, too, with the way his own breathing suddenly seems so loud. He can feel lips on his forehead, can smell cigarettes in the air. Can sense-

Wolfwood? About time you got here, needle-noggin. I was beginning to think you weren't going to show up.

-

There is stillness where there used to be movement.

There is silence where there used to be sound.

Livio picks up the thin-framed orange glasses that have been left behind.

When he is ready, he stands and makes his way back to the orphanage, careful not to trample the bright red flowers that have taken root in the sandy soil.

I'm so soft for them 🤧

Promises

He should know better. 

Wolfwood has seen Vash make promises, or hear about the ones he has made in the past. He has also seen the end of each one and how every single time the outcome is less than what was promised.
