author recs, especially if they've put a lot of work into representing a rarepair/pairings, are more than welcome.

Zazie/Knives:

put your mind in my brain and you'll see (everything is better when you're everything)

Rating: E

Word Count: 2,582

No Archive Warnings, but the warning that it is both Knives and Zazie. My favorite way to describe this fic is “a comically biblical plague worth of bugs brings a (fallen) angel of the lord to climax.” Knives explodes! Semi-Literally, even! Some fun Plant and Worm lore/shenanigans, mostly me going “how weird can I get with this?”

Elendira/Razlo//Elendira/Livio

All my Elendira/LR Fics are post-Trimax currently, in an AU where Elendira lives and goes through some serious recovery from her fight with LR. They all get Attached

give in to this holy terrible mess

Rating: E

Word Count: 1,235

No Archive Warnings, but Elendira is elbow deep in LR’s guts after the boys have a run-in with a Worm Cult. Tender Organ Touching. We love it. (keep in mind this fic in particular was written for body horror week)

Tags Include: Bugs & Insects, Non-Consensual Drug Use, Organ Touching, Declarations Of Love, Body Horror, Mild Dissociation, emergency surgery, Blood and Gore, Intense Emotional Realizations, Elendira having A Moment(tm)

in over my head and she's a high tide (that keeps pushing me away)

Rating: M

Word Count: 1,942

No Archive Warnings, but Elendira’s going through it. The trials of recovering from getting a yard long nail going through you sometimes include setbacks. Sickfic! With that fun aspect of Elendira’s where she can project horrible ways for someone to die. LivRaz are Sweet on Elendira tho.

(also written for body horror week, though the body horror is not the main focus)

Tags Include: Nightmares, Non-Sexual Intimacy, Telepathic Projection, Flaying, Sickfic

Hand Grenades and Razor Blades

The Official AO3 edition of my Kissies For Razlo Agenda. I should write more they’re silly and cute and we take the Razlo and we KISS the Razlo!

Features: Razlo being shy and blushy and angy about it because Elendira’s kick ass and he wants to smooch her and for her to kiss him again. I compare Razlo to a sunflower at one point.

Millions Knives/Domina

-leans very close into the microphone- I am unwell about these two. I want her to Wreck Knives. I accidentally created the tag on AO3, and please please please enjoy the fics I write about them. My mainline fics for them have them sharing a body but I do currently have something in the works that’s a little different.

Generally, fics for dominaknives include some fun and sometimes weird, exploratory Plant Stuff.

They’re all post-Trimax, by default, really, and Domina lives, with some caveats of course. The grief is baked in, it’s Trigun.

They have an emotional support alien terrorbird. I gotta include that bird more

Here on a Less-Travelled Road

Rating: T

Word Count: 1,927

No Archive Warnings.

Domina and Knives are having breakfast in some quiet, half-forgotten little town when Vash the Stampede slides into their booth.

Domina’s protective of Knives, Knives is afraid, and Vash is Tired. Minor allusions to Vash’s canonical alcoholism.

Six A.M., Mulholland Drive, Moonlight Sonata and I

My first actually posted fic about the two of them, I think.

Chronica meets that which is KnivesandDomina. It goes about as well as you’d expect, honestly. Lots of tears. Some explorative Plant stuff in this one! It’s got some fun wording that I really enjoyed writing.

Millywood

Haystack Boy and Dust-Cake Girl

An alternate first meeting, for an AU of mine.

A heat exhausted Nicholas D. Wolfwood collapses at the gate of the Thompson Ranch. Milly nurses him back to health.

Wolfwood knocks the hand he reaches out away before it can get any closer. "Stop it," he growls, so vehemently he feels the spittle flying from his aching mouth. "Get the fuck away, all right?" "No." Vash shakes his head, his gaze on Wolfwood all the while. "And if you wanted that to hurt me, you'll have to try harder, I'm afraid. Not like I feel it when you slap the prosthesis away." In the aftermath of a dental injury, Wolfwood deals poorly with the pain, struggling to accept Vash's offer of help and comfort. (Vashwood Week 2024, Day Two: Protection / Trust) detailed content warnings are in the fic notes but be aware this fic deals heavily with past medical trauma, dissociation, and PTSD.

Me again, Vashwood nation! For Day Two of @vashwood-week, I... well, I recently had two wisdom teeth removed at the end of a years-long ordeal and I... did some things to Wolfwood. I'm sorry. I feel really bad about it.

It isn't that he doesn't know Wolfwood has it in him. He'd grasped quickly enough that whatever their differences, Wolfwood's heart was… he wouldn't exactly call it in the right place, but it was at least not as far gone as the other man seemed to think. It's Wolfwood being so good with kids that throws him. At a busy inn, a bewildered Vash gets a glimpse of a different side of Wolfwood as he entertains the harried innkeeper's child. (Vashwood Week 2024, Day One: Childhood)

Hello hello, Vashwood nation! My fic for Day One of @vashwood-week is up and I would so appreciate folks checking it out if they're so inclined! Featuring Wolfwood being great with kids and Vash being absolutely fascinated by this, really having a "hope this doesn't awaken anything in me" moment. (Those hopes are dashed immediately, of course.)

Vash pulled in a harsh breath, unsure of the words, so unfit for everything he could say if he wanted to—the boy he'd been once, confronted for the first time with the knowledge he'd lose the woman who had been his lodestar. The times before this—fifty years passed on this planet, another fifty beyond that—he'd sought out the selfsame glow in the sky, alone each time, so alone he'd felt it was all he'd been suited for. Throughout a long life, Vash watches a comet pass through the too-brief existences of the people he loves most dearly. content warnings are in the fic notes

Hello, friends! I have a new TriMax-compliant fic I hope folks will enjoy if they give it a shot. For enjoyers(??) of:

reflections on Vash's attitude towards mortality and existential angst throughout his life

your post-Volume 10 angst, because Part II is all about widower Vash and how... complicated his feelings about Livio would be

people who have thought way too much about Vash outliving everyone he loves and the angst that would potentially cause in the far future [raises hand]

Vash’s party hitches a ride with a Thomas transport trucker named Jessie. In Little Jersey, Lois investigates more about the Humanoid Typhoon and learns about Lost July. Back at the tavern with the others, Vash tries to de-escalate a situation, but unfortunately, things never go as planned.
