In absolute bits about this phenomenal review for HOPELAND. Love that he loved it so much it made him genuinely furious.
Seriously what the fuck is this amazing, uncategorizable, unsummarizable, weird, sprawling, hairball of a novel? How the hell do you research – much less write – a novel this ambitious and wide-ranging? Why did I find myself weeping uncontrollably on a train yesterday as I finished it, literally squeezing my chest over my heart as it broke and sang at the same moment?
Ian McDonald continues to delight and infuriate and I love that for him.

SWAP AU
(a.k.a. Integration* AU)
"Wake up, brother. No time for sulking. We have a work to do."
Team Knives 🔪
Nai and Cleric Bluesummers
Team Vash 🌺
Cleric Wolfwood, Cleric Livio, and Vash
About the lore(?) Under the cut!
So. Um. It's a typical Swap AU where Knives is trying to save humanity and Vash annihilate it.
But not out of hatred; instead Vash loves mankind so much he wants to save them from human suffering altogether by fully merging them with the Plants.
By merging, Plants become independent like himself and humans become (almost) immortal. No hunger, pain, or disease. But instead human subjects lose free will, or can get killed by the process. Utter Human-Plant Integration, thus "Integration AU"
Vash have amassed some zealots through his own religion (like Knives did in the canon) and the most devoted of them become "the Clerics" (Gung-ho Guns). Cleric Bluesummers however had a change of his heart and joined Knives on his mission to stop Vash. Because I can't separate millionsummers
All Clerics wear 'clerical collar' like things, but they differ in style. (e.g. woowoo's chocker)
Morality
Knives WILL kill if necessary, but not willingly. He will avoid if possible. Same goes to Legato. (Also... will do mercy killing at some point?)
Vash also will kill some if they are REALLY in the way, but mourns them deeply and weeps for days
About their powers:
Vash of course has higher capacity but his true Gate can only be open by Knives; making him essential for his plan. Without him he can only produce some plant material but can be deadly to human nonetheless. Same goes to knives; only few blades at a time, but still a deadly warrior (close-range fighter like Edward FMA). Also he carries a gun, since you can't really bring a knife to a gunfight?? Lol. he wears cropped jacket, so his gun is hidden on his sides, with a holster. Knives also can heal other plants, like Vash did in the canon.
I gave too much though on this and I don't have a life

In retrospect, it’s kinda comical that on the sandsteamer Vash keeps his plan to go chat with the plant away from Wolfwood. He couldn’t have known, but no way did Wolfwood know Knives, know he was Vash’s brother, and not known that Vash was some freaky plant man.
I’ve made jokes about how early and easily Vash figured him out, but I think the same can be said for Wolfwood, too.
