hi hi can i get perc’ahlia in the cat’s cradle WIP for the valentine’s thing? :)
Of course!! This one's a lil steamy, because it's a scene I've had in mind that will likely go in one of the last chapters :D
As Screwdriver sets about exploring his apartment, Percy busies himself putting his things away. Almost all his clothes end up in the hamper, besieged by cat and dog hair, so he starts a load of laundry. His work desk requires a quick dusting. Apparently something was left at the bottom of his trash and it reeks now, so Percy shuffles through his pantry and fridge for anything expired while he’s at it. He will need to do a run of groceries, soon - nothing fresh is on hand here after so long at Vex’s.
Tripping over Screws as he bumbles about from task to task is familiar. And yet his home feels alien.
Not as though he could stay - that apartment is small on a good day. Vax’s presence would make an unpleasant day, especially as he readjusts to the night shift. Worse - he’d have no plausible deniability to sharing Vex’s bed, and oh, he really does not want to deal with a shovel talk from an extra cranky Vax.
So, a dozen half-finished chores splayed around him, Percy throws himself onto his couch with a sigh. Screwdriver chirps at the unfamiliar noise and stumbles over - he hauls her up to his lap before she can make a ruin of the furniture.
A text from Vex as he scratches behind those dark little ears. ‘little princess settling in okay?’
Percy texts back, one-handed: ‘She will keep me busy. Everything needs steps for her.’
With that sent, his thumb taps out ‘I miss you already’. Percy scowls at just how clingy that sounds - his wretched traitor of a cat bumps into send when she tries chewing on the corner of his phone.
He’ll be fine. He can survive. They said they would take this slow - this distance, Vax being back, everything will help, right?
--
It turns out Percival’s lonely apartment is,
a) a lot closer to their favorite bar than he realized.
b) a lot more cozy with Screwdriver living here.
c) a lot less lonely with Vex in it.
He’d almost call it homey, now, if he was not so thoroughly occupied being shoved against a wall. By Vex. His couch is right there -
“How has it taken this long?” she gasps, breathless, and her eyes are something he could grow in. She gets to a lot more gasping when he draws his free hand over skin.
“It’s been - fuck - three days, dear.”
“I know - that’s what I meant!”
They almost trip over the cat on the way to the bedroom. And again, when she invites herself in, all cheerful purrs and wobbling nods in delight to see one of her favorite people. Vex, half-undressed, is laughing her ass off as he evicts Screwdriver with feverish, embarrassed scolding.

Send me an AU/WIP (see my pinned post) + a ship and I'll give you a lil romantic moment for them set in that universe! Either a whole complicated HC or a lil snippet <3

hi. i love dying and being dead.
the quintessential vashwood conversation. sitting beneath the stars alone, the moon(s) visible behind them (though notably without an obvious artificial crater), & talking about the morality of killing, just like always...
and the fact that Vash isn't actually stupid. he knows what he's doing can cause more harm overall, but he just Can't bring himself to let anyone die. even awful people.
as much as Wolfwood cares about him, he's constantly pissed off by Vash's eternal pacificism... and the fact that no matter what he says, there isn't a Thing he can do to change Vash's mind.
