I wasn't going to write any Trigun fanfics, honestly I wasn't. But then Pluto let me see a preview of her Trigun doujinshi...
'Interludes' is a series of vignettes, essentially filling in the 'gaps' in the anime (and only the anime - I don't have the manga. Yet.) They primarily involve Vash the Stampede and Nicholas D. Wolfwood, and for once I've tried to write the protagonists completely in character (well, as much as possible in the circumstances!) and stuck strictly to the plot of the anime rather than indulging in an 'alternative universe' view...
A note of warning. If you haven't seen the complete Trigun anime, please do not read these fanfics. Not only will you not know the characters, but the fics contain whopping great spoilers for the entire series. For everyone else, please read the fics in order - they chart a developing relationship and make more sense that way.
The Essential Credits.
I don't own Trigun or any of its characters. I wish I did (oh, how I wish I did!) but I don't - it's all the property of Nightow Yasuhiro and Young King (H)Ours manga. I'm making no money whatsoever from this - I'm just addicted to Trigun. The background tile is a tweaked vidcap from the closing credits of the anime: for the cat buttons I scanned in the Kuroneko that came with the Macfarlane Vash figurine. At the end of each fic, click on Kuroneko to go to the next story. Or, on this page, to go back to the Zone.
Finally, and most importantly for me, my sincerest thanks to Pluto for her evocative, powerful and inspirational artwork, for the Trigun background information she took the time to send me, and for her marvellous feedback on the fics.The gorgeous illustration, below, was created for me by Bakayaro onna. Thank you onna!
