Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

I had to re-write half of this page moments before posting, because I watched (part of) Trigun like, 25-ish years ago, and I did not remember most of the significant things that appear in the wiki when I went to double check it. Good thing I did, or all the comments would have been about how I must have mixed up Trigun or Vash with another anime. Apparently Vash is a plant? Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen that show.

I have not ever read any kind of slash fiction. I don't even like regular fan fiction. (Ignore the two books I wrote that are technically fan fiction.) I assume all fan fiction is either going to be generally pretty terrible, or would be good enough to be annoying when the author inserts one crazy element that is their own personal fan fetish. (In this episode of FanFic Stargate SG1, Teal'c gets turned into a sapient inflatable pool toy.) Or, it's some terrible O.C. insert who no one but the author cares about, or worst of all, it's actually really good to the point that now I'm mad it's not canon. 

But slash fic? Yeah, no interest there for me. There's clearly an audience for it, so I thought it'd be kind of funny if Sydney was into it. Coming up with a pairing wasn't too hard. Justifying the pairing was... well, actually pretty easy when I was using a misremembered Vash. After reading up on Vash and editing the page to match? Honestly, I think it's actually not a crazy idea. I  personally still don't want to read about dudes making out, but... if you told me someone had already written that meetup? I'd just nod.
