Chapter 28 for Trigun Fic, Love and Violence

Available on AO3: Start from Chapter 1 | Go to Newest Chapter

Summary: A town of humans accidentally rehabilitate a floundering, injured Knives after his deadly battle with Vash. Canon divergent gen fic.

-with a few exceptions, don't tag the same pairing with both / and & just for reach. / is for romantic/sexual dynamics, and & is for purely platonic dynamics. There's some gray area with dynamics that don't fit neatly into one or the other (i.e., some ace/aro relationships), but if you're writing a standard romance, you should only tag it with / and leave the & tag out. Yes, even if it's a friends to lovers fic.

-if a character is featured prominently? They should be tagged as a character on the fic. If the fic is about them, they should definitely be tagged. Just having a character tagged in the ship is going to mean your fic doesn't filter right in ao3 tags when people try to filter in or out characters. Please just tag your characters.

-tag your warnings. This seems obvious, but just putting "dead dove" on a fic does not mean you've warned correctly; if you don't want to tag your warnings, you need to use "creator chose not to use archive warnings." Don't bury important warnings in author's notes, either; they can be good for clarification or minor things, but major warnings shouldn't be there, especially not if it's buried under a dropdown or anything else that could make the warning inaccessible.

For his part, Vash thinks he might be hallucinating.  Nicholas D. Wolfwood claws his way out of the thick river onto the bank, gasping for breath, covered in mud from head to toe.  Instinctive relief washes over Vash—it had not been a child in trouble—but his higher cognitive functions have all otherwise fled.
