Summary
“Scuse' me, I was wondering if this seat was taken?”
Cody sat up straighter, turning to look at the source of the voice. To his surprise — and slight horror — he came face to face with the man who had been consuming his thoughts for far too long that night.

Summary
Feng Xin didn’t mean to do it. He didn’t mean to say it. But he had realized his mistake a few seconds too late. “What do you mean?” Mu Qing asked, though it wasn’t really a question; It was a demand. “What do you mean, Feng Xin?” Mu Qing asked again, impatient. He stepped closer towards Feng Xin, a finger pointed at his chest. “I just think that,” Feng Xin swallowed, mouth feeling dry. “Maybe, His Highness is hiding something from us?”

Summary
Can an angel find a new purpose through the eyes of one very optimistic human?
After 50 years hiding away in Heaven, guardian angel Wolfwood is unceremoniously thrown to Earth with a new mission. While he struggles to fulfill his purpose and find a child to protect, he’s taken in by the strange and wonderful Vash Saverem. Kind and giving to a fault, Vash makes Wolfwood question everything Heaven has taught him and everything he believes about humanity. And as the months go by, he finds himself drawn further into Vash’s orbit in new and exciting ways.

Summary
Any conversation that starts at three in the morning isn’t going to be a good one. Wolfwood’s been through enough shit in his life to know that, so he doesn’t have high hopes when Vash opens the door to their little screened balcony with his phone screen lit up and his brows furrowed.
Wolfwood blows smoke from his cigarette. Neither of them should be awake, but Wolfwood’s never been good at keeping a sleep schedule, and he knows Vash is even worse.
Wolfwood breaks the silence first. “What’re you doing up?”
“I need your help.”

Mutual pining, fake relationship, Dad!Vashwood... what more could you ask for?

Summary
In his early days as a slave, Aventurine was subjected to neuro-reprogramming that, when activated, makes him mindlessly obedient. Thankfully, the program was scrapped, and it’s been over a decade since he’s even seen someone who knows the key phrase – but Aventurine’s luck runs out while he’s crashing Ratio’s vacation.
Naturally, Ratio is not content to let some bottom feeding slaver make off with one of his few friends. Offering further assistance, however, leads to unforeseen consequences - because as Ratio begins researching Aventurine’s condition and searching for a way to free him from it, their feelings for one another begin to change. But Ratio is all too aware of the ethical issues of being involved with a patient, especially one who has given him so much power over their mind . . . and as for Aventurine, Ratio is the one person he can't risk losing.

SLAMS FIST ON TABLE. THIS RIGHT HERE!! THIS FIC!! PEAK. I haven't really found many Ratiorine fics that I really *loved* (Nothing wrong with them, I'm just a teensy bit picky at times) BUT *THIS*?? OUHMYGODD AUHTJFJF I loved this so much. It's incomplete as of me making this bookmark, BUT I STILL LOVED IT!! Im looking forward to seeing where it goes
AND AUH THE CHARACTERIZATION,, I love when people write ratio as more gentle and caring (but just having a hard time coming off as that) rather than harsh and mean (something I see FAR too often?? HE ISNT MEAN ☹️) so this REALLY made me feel alot of happy things (BONUS POINTS BC THIS IS LONG. I fucking LOOVE longfics) -

OUHMYGODD this was so good,, I don't remember the exact circumstances as to why this brought me so much comfort, but I read this in the span of like. 3 nights and HOLY SHIIT THIS WAS PEAK!! Im an absolute sucker for stuff w/ this type of vibe, and ESPECIALLY (friendly) eldritch horrors, so EEEKFJDK This felt like it was written specifically for me. It hit every niche (I ALSO loved how we got Wolfwood POV in this!! I don't see a ton of fics written in his pov, so this was refreshing and very yummy)
10/10 I WILL be rereading eventually -

Summary
Wolfwood’s palm landed on Vash’s forehead, heavy and warm and edged with the sharp bite of calluses.
The world went white.
Vash had learned long ago that time was different for humans. They needed nearly a quarter of a second to react to anything, and Vash had fundamentally shifted his systems to stay aligned to that, because life got boring fast when everything moved slower than you. But the weight of Wolfwood’s hand on his forehead opened up the gulf between the click of the second hand, and Vash was falling, falling, falling, through endless milliseconds of blinding light as a bell tone rang in his bones and started to vibrate outwards--
Deep inside Vash, a door labeled NICHOLAS D. WOLFWOOD opened to let a spark through, one unmistakably flavored with cigarette smoke and gunpowder and all-encompassing guilt. A soul with a direct line to his. A connection between two fucked up points.

A '98 soulmates fix-it rewrite about two people badly hurt by life learning how to stop hurting each other and earn the happy ending they deserve. Complete at 85k and 14 chapters, posting weekly on Sundays.

This fic actually changed me a teeny bit. I think. OUHMYGODD I loved the introspection and "realness" of how Vash and Wolfwood were written ?? This fic healed me after finishing trigun '98 100% (I LOOOVEDD how every scene was rewritten to follow '98 too?? I began this before finishing '98 and so when I got to the scenes in the show I was like "OMG!! *points at screen* THIS WAS IN THE FIC!!" IT WAS SO COOLL AUH)
This had a lovely amount of giggle-worthy moments and ALSO moments/quotes that made me shed a tear or two. 10/10 would read again (and probably will once trigaze is out)
