    Summary

    Adjective
    1. relieving or lessening pain; soothing
    2. lacking zest, vigor, etc.; bland; insipid

    On the wrong side of thirty and with war teetering on the horizon, Arcade Gannon has mostly given up on making friends and finding love. A contradictory mess of cynicism and idealism, Arcade just wants to help people. Courier Six seems to be his answer to properly helping the people of the Mojave Wasteland; an odd but charming delivery boy with his own set of problems, most of which stem from two bullet holes to the head.

    POV Arcade during the events of Fallout: New Vegas. Explores the physical/mental effects of the Courier's brain injury, including seizures, headaches and retrograde memory loss. Very slow burn, lots of world-building and references to other games in the series (especially Fallout 2). Deals with mature themes present in the game/series overall, but chapters with heavy subject matter will be marked accordingly.

    Gay people cannot just ask each other out, especially not in the Wasteland.

    Summary

    "You put a bullet in my hand,
    Then a drink, then a diamond ring…
    Guess love in the wasteland’s
    Just a fool’s kind of thing."

    Benny caught his breath.

    "You’re a liar, you’re a thief,
    You’re the last man I should trust…
    But the devil’s got a grin,
    And God, I’m weak for lust."

    And his cigarette hit the floor.

    "So here’s my heart, here’s my throat—
    Go on, rat, take your bite…
    ‘Cause if lovin’ you’s the sin,
    Then damn me to the night."

    The Mojave Wasteland knew her as the fearsome Courier Six, with a bitter vendetta towards The Man in the Checkered Suit.

    Then why does she sing for the man who shot her?

    Because Giselle Darnell was Benny Gecko's Songbird.

    And God help anyone who attempts to cage his Songbird.

    Summary

    You come down the next morning to the fishing shack in the village to find the detective bathing in the sea.
    “Detective,” you say. “I’m pleased to note you availing yourself of the facilities.”
    “Kim, it’s fucking freezing,” he says, seriously. His hair hangs wet and limp, darker like this, and his chops draggle down his face. He looks like a half-drowned dog you had once seen Eyes pull out of L’Esperance.
    You’ve got to let him use your shower, you decide.

    Set in Martinaise.

    Summary

    Kim takes a shot meant for Judit Minot, his partner. He can't understand why this makes everyone around him so mad.

    ---
    Strap in kids we're exploring Kim’s self-sacrificial tendencies and allegiance to the RCM with this one.

    Inspired by this post I made in a fit of pique about Kim:
