060. Miracle (part 5/5)

♡ Pairing - Vash x Reader

♡ Word count - 1.8k

♡ Warnings - none

♡ Description: The culmination of all your and Vash's hard work as a couple.

Part of the 150 Bullets drabble series on AO3.

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5

He had a plan.

It was going to be perfect.

A candlelit dinner in Haven Point, a ride on a tomas up to the bluffs near town at sunset, a secret photographer he paid extra for hiking all the way up there to capture the moment.

It was going to be perfect.

Then his luck kicked in. Then, the bullets flew, the townspeople screamed, you and he got separated, then reunited, then captured.

And now?

Now the ring burns a hole in his pocket. He watches you get tied up in the middle of the road while another thug manhandles him a few feet away.

You aren’t struggling. You’ve learned this game by now. Eyes down, look down-trodden, glance at Vash to plan what to do.

He’s got half a plan formed, but it’s scattered when the bandits start going through his coat.

“Got a lotta pockets on you, don’t ya?” The guy grins, two teeth missing in his smile. “Means you got a lotta stuff!”

“Uh, not necessarily – hey!” Vash flinches as the bandit’s hands dive into one of the inside pockets of his jacket. He pulls out Vash’s small journal, the pen he chews on. They’re thrown to the ground, and the man moves on to the next pocket. Boxes of bullets that he pockets, grumbling that they aren’t even the right size.

This goes on for a while. The bandits hoot and holler as more townspeople are brought to the round-up, tied up and forced to give up their goods. Vash sweats more and more. What’s he going to do? How’s he going to save all these people?

Then, the crook reaches the pocket. With The Box.

Vash squirms like a worm on a hook as the crook tries to get his hands in the pocket. “No! I-I – please, it’s supposed to be a surprise - !”

He feels the man’s hand grasp around the little metal box. Vash thinks how your face will look when it’s not him who presents the ring but some grubby bandit, how the pieces will click together, how you’ll know, and something just –

Snaps.

Feet kicking, wild, Vash takes out both the lackey in front of him and the one behind. Ropes snap as Vash breaks them behind his back, and his hands are free. The man still managed to take out the box when he slumped to the ground. Vash picks it up out of his curled hand quickly.

The others in the gang all point their guns at him now, wide-eyed and baffled. A strange silence hushes over the town. Vash looks at the gang. Looks at you.

Chaos.

Bullets fly, and Vash dodges every one of them. His speed is inhuman. He’s got one, two, four men and a woman down in two seconds. You struggle against your own bindings, distracting your goon enough for Vash to come flying in and knock him out. He pulls out his pocketknife and slices through your ropes clean, and then you’re both running, the sound of metal pinging off the sides of buildings and shouts from passerby as you flee.

“What the hell, Vash,” you gasp, doggedly keeping up, “why did you do that?”

“I’ll…it’ll make sense later!” He pulls you around a corner and you both hide, waiting for the first wave of bandits to pass by.

But the whole situation has your scholar mind thinking. “What’s so important about that box you grabbed?”

“Later!” He yells, taking off down the alley as the bandits double back and start shooting at his red coat. You’re dodging with him, at his heels like always.

Somehow, though, a shaky smile forms on your lips, and he sees it when you both duck into a shuttered business’s doors. His stomach drops. “Does it have to do with why you’ve been so cagey and affectionate around me lately?”

Dammit. Has he? He feels the heat in his cheeks magnify tenfold. “No!” He says. He pulls you behind the metal counter, watching shadows flit by the windows as you’re both searched for. His gun clicks at the ready, and Vash is trying, trying, to come up with a plan without losing his composure.

You’re making it very difficult. There’s a spark of excitement in your eyes. “You’re such a bad liar. And you told me to wear something nice for this evening…you had something special planned!”

“Mayfly,” his exasperation is evident, “I promise, promise, I will tell you later what it was all about. Please stop trying to guess while our lives are in danger!” His teeth grind. His plan was perfect, and now it's all unraveling!

You purse your lips and sidle up to his side, watching more shadows flit through the windows. Your own gun is pulled out, and there’s a hardness in your eyes now. “You’re right.” A sweet smile forms on your lips. “Let’s take care of this. Then we can really talk.”

-~*~-

And you do take care of it. Hours later, the dust has settled, and people are picking up the pieces of the gang’s rampage through town – whether that be sweeping the street, washing off the blood from the walls, or kicking the rears of the crooks still waiting for the sheriff to come take them away.

You and Vash are already making your way to the next town over. No need for the law to make the connection that Vash and the Humanoid Typhoon are one and the same tonight. The dunes shimmer red and purple as the suns set, and you both take one last gander at the town behind you before setting off again.

“So…” you start, looking him up and down, “you gonna tell me what that was all about earlier?”

 He looks off in the distance, pretending to think. Just to give him more time. But then you come up and hold his forearm with both of your hands, leaning into his shoulder and looking up at him with those eyes.

You know.

His shoulders slump. He’s talking before he realizes. “Mayfly,” he falters, “this…isn’t how it was supposed to go.”

Your lips, pressed into his shoulder, turn upward. “When has that ever stopped you?”

It warms him. You’re always so patient – too patient – with him. And his heart speeds up, and he starts sweating, but he nods and gently pats your hand. If he’s going to do this, he’s going to do it right. You take a few steps back, clasping your hands together to keep them from shaking.

Vash looks around at the dune you’re both on, the stars glittering overhead. The town to the right has all their lights on, giving a subtle yellow glow over you both. Not what he envisioned for this, but…Vash clears his throat once, twice, before turning to you fully. Again, he says, “Mayfly…” then, he shakes his head, murmuring your name instead. He takes both of your hands in his and gets down on a knee.

He says your name again. “You…I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re my best friend. You’ve taught me so much in the time we’ve been together. I love everything about you – your intelligence, your sense of humor, your laugh, your smile. You’re everything to me. Everything.” He sighs and presses his forehead to your knuckles for a moment. He hasn’t spoken truer words. Heart hammering against his ribcage, Vash squeezes his eyes shut and swallows back the tears building. What will he do if the answer is ‘no?’

Gently, you squeeze his fingers, encouraging him to continue. He looks back up. Your smile is angelic, and you’re sniffling a bit. Mouth going dry, he continues. “Because of you, I keep fighting for the good in this world. It’s a miracle, in me – in my heart – that you chose me. That we even found each other in the first place. And no matter how hard I’ve made it for you, you keep sticking around and I…Thank you. Thank you for loving me. For choosing me.”

Vash reaches finally for The Box. He feels the tremors in your hands – or is that his own?  It takes a moment, the corners catching on the fabric. When it’s pulled out, he hears your breath leave you. That’s a good sign, right? The hinges let out the barest of squeaks when he opens it.

And there it is. The little golden ring with the tiny ruby laid in the center. He wants to apologize – it’s so bland compared to other rings. You deserve better. You deserve the world. But now is not the time for his self-deprecation. Now is the time for…for…

He swallows, and finally, the words pop out: “Can I be your husband?” He adds on quickly, “Will you marry me?”

You tackle him into the sand. “Oof!” he spits out. He barely gets a hold on The Box, snapping the lid shut so the ring doesn’t go flying.

There’s a ringing in his ears. No, wait, that’s you shrieking. “Yes! Yes! Yes!” Your bright peal of laughter comes, followed by more excited shrieking. Your lips find his neck, then his jaw, moving to his cheeks and peppering his face with kisses everywhere. You push his glasses up to get at him better.

All the while, a coil in Vash’s chest loosens dramatically. Of course you’d say yes. Why did he ever doubt it? A grin spreads on his face, and he holds you close, finally letting a few tears out. You kiss them away as quickly as they come. He can feel you shaking in his grasp. After a minute of this, you pull away, wiping your cheeks stained with your own tears.

Vash manages to sit you both up, his hand on your lower back. You look at each other for a moment, giggling and gasping. “Can I put it on now?” he asks.

He’s met with more laughter, and the biggest kiss of his life.

A sudden flash to the side makes you both flinch. Vash reaches for his gun, but his hand relaxes as he sees the photographer he hired a lifetime ago to capture “the moment.”

She grins from the side. “You two are hard to find! But I’m good at catching my moments!” She pauses and squints. Her lips uptick. “Cool tattoos, by the way! Didn’t know they had glowing ink!”

You both look at each other again. And, yes, both of your plant lines are showing. Vash lets out a breathless laugh and pulls the ring from its box. With still-trembling fingers, he slides it on to your ring finger, and it fits perfectly.

Later, you’ll both look at the photo taken alongside the shine of your ring in a musty motel room. You’ll both laugh at how loudly you screamed, at how scared Vash was this whole time. But for now, you’ll kiss each other under the stars, marveling in the miracle that you found each other, love each other, and stay by each other.

My Current Masterlist:

Hi! I'm Apple. I currently write for Stranger Things. The majority is Steddie, but I do branch out from time to time, and you'll probably also notice some Gareth-centric fics popping up from me these days.

Last updated: June 24th, 2025.

Quick Navigation:

my ao3 | thisapplepielife: short fics | steddie micro | corroded coffin fest | steddie song fics | spicy six | sub eddie week | steddie week | a stranger summer | steddie angsty august | steddie smutty september | steddie spooktober | steddiemas | steddie holiday drabbles | steddie bingo | stobin month | steddie sports au

My hashtag #thisapplepielife: short fics gathers nearly every fic I post on Tumblr in one place. Short is relative, of course, but I've ended up using it for anything that isn't a long fic or series. There's gotta be 150+ standalone fics in there by now. With a lot of them not on ao3 at this time.

Note: As of 1/20/25 some of my fic tags are broken in some way that doesn't include all my fics anymore. Until I find the problem, they do work if searched on my blog, instead of all of tumblr, so I changed the links. If I ever get it corrected, I'll swap them back.

I've written a little connected end of the world universe set post-apocalypse. All those fics can be found in the end of the word au tag.

I also run the event blog @corrodedcoffinfest - if you'd like more Corroded Coffin fan works in your life, come join us!

Author's Self-Rec Fic: Tuesday's Gone With the Wind - this is my favorite thing I've written. So, if you wanna know what I'd tell you to read? It's that one.

(Some of my work is rated E, so please be mindful of ratings.)

I found myself way overdue for an updated masterlist, as my original one looks like I've only written three fics. So, here we go:

I've currently got three long fics all complete and ready to read in full. Tuesday's Gone With the Wind is my personal favorite, Take the Money and Run is my most popular and All Across the Universe is my most recent!

Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, Complete

Steddie, E, 184K, 9/9 Chapters (Read on AO3) Corroded Coffin's leased plane went down on June 13th, 1995 in the woods of Louisiana. Ten people on board died. Eddie Munson survived. Before he survived, he really lived.

Take the Money and Run, Complete

Steddie, E, 144K, 22/22 Chapters (Read on AO3) “Rules. Like, there’ll be no eating in my car. You’re not driving my car. No heavy metal,” Steve keeps listing, “you’re not picking up women and fucking them in m-” “I'll try to control myself,” Eddie interrupts with a quip, a smirk. Fucking girls in Steve’s car, or anywhere else for that matter, isn’t going to be an issue, unless something pretty fundamental shifts in him. Steve continues, completely ignoring Eddie, “You’ll wipe your feet. You’re not dragging dirt all over my car. No hitchhikers. No cutesy road games. No smoking in the car. I’m not paying for all the gas.” “Ass, gas or grass, got it,” Eddie says, like he's taking this very seriously. He is not taking this seriously. Or: Road trip!

All Across the Universe, Complete

Steddie, E, 135K, 16/16 Chapters (Read on AO3)

Steve Harrington knows this world isn't permanent. They never are. He blinks into existence, brand new and disoriented. He might not know where he is, or when, but he knows he's searching for something, for someone, as he's called on and on, all across the universe. He always finds him. Eddie.

I've got four series so far, and they can be found below:

Wildflowers...and All the Rest, Complete

15/15, Various Ratings, 151K, (Read on AO3)

Wildflowers is a companion series to Tuesday's Gone With the Wind, but with a focus on Gareth. So, I'd recommend reading Tuesday's first, to get all the context needed for this series. But if you like Gareth, especially if you enjoyed the version of him I explored in Tuesday's, than this might be for you. (Steddie also features.) It's some of my favorite work of mine, to date.

Jagged Little Pill, Complete

2/2, M, 26K, (Read on AO3)

My first foray into writing for Stranger Things and Steddie! Set in the 90s. Eddie runs, and Steve and the kids decide to find him using El's powers.

First part from Steve's POV and the second is from Eddie's.

No Sign of (Goddamn, Motherfucking) Soulmates, Complete

2/2, E, 5K, (Read on AO3)

I actually got assigned the prompt "soulmates" on both of my Christmas and New Year's bingo cards. Instead of trying to double-up, I decided to just make them companion pieces.

First part from Steve's POV and the second is from Eddie's POV.

Naughty and Nice: The Adventures of Krampus & Santa, Complete

2/2, E, 5.2K, (Read on AO3)

I actually got assigned the prompts "Krampus" & "Santa" on my Christmas bingo card. So, this was the only logical path that I had to go down, lol.

My one shots that are a little bit longer than a 1000-ish word ficlet.

PS: I hit the max for links in a post, so if it says "also on ao3" just click the tumblr link, and it'll be linked to ao3 from there. Some I added to ao3 after the fact, and if they aren't linked in tumblr post, I prioritized leaving those links here.

[ninadove]

Ninaaa do you have any tips for writing so many fics about one character or ship? I am SO in awe of you! There are a ton of characters and ships im super obsessed with and I’d like to write a million fics for them, but I have no ideas!! Please educate me on your ways 🙏

Hi Anon, you flatter me! 🥹💚💜❤️

Of course — just keep in mind that these are tips and tricks that work for me, every writer is different and it can often take time to understand the best way to go about it!

OK so the first step is to get obsessed, obviously, with the caveat that not every character or ship will inspire you to create. For example, I love RWBY and more particularly Bumbleby, buuut I have written precisely zero fics about them! My brain has decided that this is a story I have to watch unfold while eating popcorn and taking notes, and there's nothing I can really do to fight it, so I don't. I've learnt a lot of writing tricks from them though, like using the way other characters react to a ship to further build it, or working their connection into scenes that are not romantic in nature (such as fight scenes!).

A good way to know if a fixation is going to last is to simply wait a few days and not crack under the temptation to do something about it immediately. If it persists, write one (1) short thing and see whether it gets it out of your system. If it fuels you to create more instead, you may have a Clive or a Felix on your hands!

OK SO NOW WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT.

The thing is that I have been writing fanfic basically since I knew how to hold a pen, buuut until very recently (read: Miraculous S5 hitting me like a truck) I was horrible at finishing stuff. Everybody is always talking about how insane fanfic writers are for writing 100k masterpieces with action and mystery and slowburns and I wanted to do that!!! But every time I got started I would get distracted by other ideas and abandon what I was working on and eventually finish nothing...

... and that became my strength, actually! As of yesterday I have 150 fics posted (let me boast):

But if you check my statistics tab, you'll see my total wordcount is fairly low:

How poetic that Sentitwin Week got me over 300k... 🥹 But I digress. The point here is that I'm a lover of short fics — one shots, drabbles, and even poems more recently. Very often I'll get an idea for one (1) scene, and while it could definitely benefit from the build-up beforehand, I know myself well enough to recognise that if I try to do that I'm never going to get to the scene in question. So I don't force it! I'll write that one moment I'm really interested it and weave the context in or even dump it in my author's notes and call it a day. This way I can move on to the next shiny thing like a demented magpie and avoid burnout.

Because that's the biggest challenge when writing in general and writing about a specific character/dynamic/ship in particular... creative burnout will hit you hard if you're not careful, and often times escaping it means switching who/what you write about entirely. Here's how I go about it:

I write a little every day, because I want to keep my momentum going, but the key words here are a little. If it's just one paragraph it's just one paragraph. If it's just re-reading something one last time before posting then so be it. I do force my brain to have some sort of exercise regimen, but it's closer to doing five minutes of stretching in your living room than to a full jog with Sublime and Adrien around the park. AND I DON'T PRESSURE MYSELF TO COME UP WITH A PERFECT FIRST DRAFT ANYMORE. Editing is where the magic happens! ✨

By writing about the same little guys so much, I have built what I call my imagery toolbox! I know which themes are fun to explore with which characters. I have a better grasp of how they talk and react to certain situations. I have associated each of them with specific imagery, which not only makes the writing process smoother, but also means I'll think of them when seeing this imagery in other stories and get inspired.

When I feel like moving on to another project, I don't fight it. Often times this is not a problem in the first place because again, one-shots are my friends! But I do have a few longer things on pause that I will return to only when and if the time is right. An unfinished project is not wasted time, it's writing XP that helps build your skills!

And so the natural follow-up is that you should write things outside of your favourite character or ship sometimes. Maybe for an entirely different fandom even! Watch new shows and read new books and write about them, it will help you recharge and come back to your topic of choice with new ideas a full HP bar (and again more writing XP).

In general, try to provide enrichment for your brain's enclosure. Draw or make edits or weave some webs or whatever. Read. Tackle an insane literary puzzle with your friend. Learn a new skill (casually learning a new language is especially good at making the words go brrr when you go back to your WIP). At the end of the day everything that gently gets you out of your comfort zone is good.

Last but not least: find some friends to hype you up! Fandom these days is all about content when it should be about community. I wouldn't be writing so much if I didn't know I could count on all my lovely friends for support!

Hope this answers your question Anon, and that you find a writing process that works for you! It takes a lot of trial and error, but it's totally worth it. 💚💜❤️

084. Fire (part 4/5)

♡ Pairing - Vash x Reader

♡ Word count - 0.5k

♡ Warnings - none

♡ Description: Vash contemplates something important while you sleep.

Part of the 150 Bullets drabble series on AO3

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5

You’re already asleep on the other side of the camp. The fire waves gently on the walls of the red cave, and everything is quiet. Vash can’t sleep. It’s why he isn’t by your side right now.

Digging through his pack, he’s careful to keep anything from clattering together. He isn’t sure what he’s looking for. Just checking supplies, perhaps. He yawns, feeling the bags under his eyes scrunch with it. A bag of jerky, three and a half granola bars, two extra canteens of water…He leans forward more, and the box digs in, as it usually does.

He pauses.

With deft fingers, he reaches the inner pocket and pulls it out. Small, made of now-dented metal with rust bits at the hinges. Some burn marks from where bullets struck. Without thinking, he turns from you even more, paranoid that this is the one time you’ll catch him with…it.

He opens it. Looks at what is inside. Closes the box just as quickly. He tucks it back into the pocket, and shuffles more things around his bag. Jerky, water, granola bars…After a moment, he runs a hand through his hair, letting out the barest of sighs. He tugs the box out again and tells himself to not be a coward. Opening the lid, he stares at the inside more intensely. Glances toward you.

Your face is still slack with sleep. You’re using your jacket as a pillow. The light dances on your face, across your pretty lips, and Vash smiles.

He looks back at the box. Holds it up to the light, letting the ring within shine gold for the first time in a year. The tiny ruby at the top glints softly.

Would it really be so bad? It’s you, after all. But it’s him, too. Can he give you all you deserve? He lets out a breath from his nose. Of course he can’t. This isn’t the kind of life you should have. But…you’ve made it clear, over and over and over again, that this is the life you choose: with him.

So why not make it official?

“Really official,” he murmurs, thumb brushing over the band.

You suddenly shift. The box is closed and back in his chest pocket in milliseconds, and his heart is beating wildly. But it’s a false alarm; you’re just shifting your legs. Your hips usually bug you when you’re on your side too long. He lets out his breath. Ties up his bag. That’s enough thrill for one night.

Crawling back, he nudges you to roll on your back – give your hips a break. You let out a grumbling protest, but a kiss to your cheek quelches it quickly. Vash lays his head on your chest. His arms come up and around your stomach, and you curl into him naturally. He knows you’re back to sleep in an instant, hearing your heartbeat slow and muscles relax.

He won’t fall asleep for a while yet. The box and the ring burn like fire against his heart. But it isn’t searing like it was before. No, it’s warm now. A certainty. He isn’t sure what changed. What did looking at the ring do? But his heart beats with excitement now. Now, he wants this. Now, he wants to try.

He’s going to propose.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Saturday, February 1

BUFFY: Don't look at me! GILES: You never told me you dreamt of becoming a vampire. BUFFY: This isn't a dream. GILES: No. No, it's not. But there's a chance that we can make it go away. This all comes from Billy. Now, if, if we can only wake him up, I believe that the nightmares will stop and reality will shift back into place, but we must do it now! I need you to hold together long enough to help us. Can you do that? BUFFY: (nods) Yeah. I think I can. GILES: Thank you. BUFFY: Well, we better hurry... 'cause I'm getting hungry.
