vash is such a mamas boy it feels like a punch to the gut
he was only with her for about a year (?) out of his 150, and she had such a lasting effect on him. beyond ideologies, he still carries her with him in these little mannerisms...
same closed eye, sad smile. same deflections--especially when someone asks why they're acting a certain way
Rem, when the twins ask why she has that look: I'm just not sure what kind of expression I should have on my face.
Vash, when Milly is appalled he can smile when the town is pelting him with rocks: How am I supposed to look? I don't know anymore.
ok so are yall familiar with that rumor that ppl put money in hotel bibles? well my bestie and I got a hotel room together once and the first thing I did was dangle the room Bible upside down to see if money fell out. to test if it was true!! (no money came out) but she was like ur going straight to hell for that JDJD
can't help but see this happen between vashwood
ww shaking the bible and Vash is standing there yet again asking aren't you supposed to be a priest??!
wolfwood reasons they need money for the road so god will excuse him
tagged by @eversio! thank youu (and no worries about my main hehe)
heres my ao3 for reference
1. how many words have you written this year?
about 46k atm! which is alot for me! i started really writing fic last year, and i really never thought i would be able to write more than 1-2k worded fics. so this year has been a step in the right (and awesome) direction! i have many ideas i wanna write but yanno.. that thing about motivation and time and energy lining up...
2. how many works did you publish?
8!
3. what work are you most proud of?
if you were a sinner, i could make you believe. i really liked the catholic imagery/concepts i put in there, and also the sexy times. i felt like i slowly was starting to get the grasp on how i wanted to handle writing smut
4. what work has the most hits?
Fall in Need
5. what work got more feedback than expected?
Call from the Void tbh. it was my first time writing something more horror based (really liked it too even if i was like. am i cringe. at some points) but people liked it! very nice to see that feedback
6. favorite title you used?
All the Love That's Due. I feel it perfectly encapsulates that fic
7. if you use song lyrics, what artist did you pull from most?
all my fic titles are from songs LOL i listen to my vw playlist when i work and whichever one fits the mood the most i go perusing. i use different artists but my fave might be Advice for the Young at Heart by Tears for Fears for "all the love thats due." soft and sweet song i could see being from wolfwoods pov. but also! Fall in Love by Phantogram was used for "Fall in Need" groovy song
8. pairing you wrote the most for this year?
vashwood 4lyfer here
9. favorite pairing you wrote for this year?
its still vashwood lol
10. what work was the quickest to write?
lovefool would be the easy answer since it is the shortest but i will also say call from the void just because i left the thunderbolts movie Insane about Bob/The Void (get it? lol) and had many visuals for uncanny vash in my head
11. what work took the longest to write?
i think if you were a sinner i could make you believe. mainly. because i got shy around some parts and also the catholic guilt would come sweeping in. but i reallyyy had fun with that.
12. how many wips do you have in your docs for next year?
that im actively working on? two. soon to be three.
13. what's your longest work of the year?
fall in need! my first vw smut piece AND fic to break 10k
14. what's your shortest work of the year?
lovefool at just about 2k. wrote that for a quick vday fic
15. what work are you taking into next year with you?
i had Test and Recognize chapter 2 partially written before getting swept into bottom ww week and then other ideas. so i want to finish that up.
16. whats your most common "additional tags" tag?
spit or scent kink (look away from me), bottom wolfwood, and a sfw tag maybe just fluff
17. your favorite character to write this year?
touch repulsed (starved) catholic wolfwood. the author's thinly veiled projections...
18. the character that gave you the most trouble this year?
yanno. taking from the previous one, i teeter on the fence with touch repulsed/starved vash... i can see both for him.
19. what pairing do you want to explore next year?
i wanna write a polygun piece actually...now that they are together in every canon trigun media, i feel they deserve it
20. which work of yours have you reread the most?
ough... i should reread my stuff,,, but something about putting it out there... i suddenly turn into that I Do Not See meme. i reread every work so often when i edit and revise though whew... but good point. maybe ill have to go back and reread my work... see how past me did... and how future me can do
21. how many kudos in total did you get this year?
505 (woah ok! yay ty everyone!)

26. whats your most common category?
M/M
27. what did you listen to while writing?
oof i listen to anything. i have my own vashwood playlist i listen to when i really wanna hit the feels but also i have the first three albums of coldplay for that. on easier nights its my old lofi playlist, Perfume when im on crunch time (in my mind), indie music, the Marias, 80s music, man i listen everything (except country and hardcore metal).
28. favorite work you wrote this year?
if you were a sinner, i could make you believe. i had so much fun with that one. that is my baby atm
29. favorite line/passage you wrote this year?
this part from if you were a sinner...
In his presence, Vash is the suns' rays—sent down to him from something bigger and far out of reach for his mortal hands to touch—warm, caressing light entrancing Wolfwood's distraught, broken soul into solace; a place where he can choose to be vulnerable and true to himself with another person.
30. biggest surprise while writing this year?
hmm i will have to say, again, the fact that i neared 50k words written this year. when i cracked 10k with fall in need, i patted myself on the back and went omfg. i really thought i never had enough to say/write but wouldnt ya know. vashwood brainworms take you places you never could have imagined. i love them too much to shut up about them. and in 2026 WITH STARGAZE you will be hearing more from me muahaha
