I wrote three fics for this exchange, and also I got three gifts. It's an exchange that encourages shortfic, and it's good! <3

Title : We wield ourselves as a weapon is wielded
Author : Nelja
Fandom : Trigun
Characters : Knives/Legato
Genre : Dark, UST
Summary : Legato is kneeling, waiting for his orders, actively, almost needily, like Knives giving him something to do could fill a painful void in him. It's probably true. He's applying himself to be a Thing for Knives, thinking that it makes him less of a human.
It's not fully right - not fully wrong either.

And! My gifts!
Spoils by irrationalno (Lupin III, Fujiko/Goemon, fanart, M)
Fujiko and Goemon share a quiet moment after a successful heist
Omens by Semjaza (Our flag means death, Izzy/Ed, T)
here Izzy sees a looming catastrophe, Ed sees a promise of future glory.
Dead Weight by Nary (Mo dao zu shi, Wen Ning/Wei Wuxian, Explicit)
Wei Wuxian had resurrected Wen Ning, so theoretically he should have known better than anyone what the fierce corpse was capable of. But no one, not even him, had ever awakened the consciousness of a fierce corpse before. It was unprecedented. And perhaps because of this, Wen Ning often managed to surprise him.
Also, because I can, some of my faves that are not gifts for me
Sad Drummer by Reused (Across the Spider-verse, Hobie and Gwen, fanart, G)
Gwen is sad about not being able to visit Miles Morales and Hobie cheers her up! I wanted to show the moment that they start trusting each other more and open up to each other becoming true friends. Here it is!
Repercutio by Selena (Babylon 5, Londo Mollari, T)
Of all the ghosts to haunt him, Londo didn't expect Refa's. Or having to enlist G'Kar to get rid of him (again)...
Hallo-wha? by wormsafe (The Good Place, Michael+Eleanor+Chidi, G)
Michael's been around a long time, so he's seen a lot of human history. Chidi and Eleanor are his favorite humans. So, when Eleanor suggests hosting a Halloween party in the Good Place, Michael wants to show his humans what Halloween (used to be) all about.
