Summary
Death is nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Nothing has happened. Everything remains exactly as it was. I am I, and you are you, and the old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged.
—Henry Scott Holland, All Is Well. -

Summary
Standing where he had made his first real kill, a sharp thread of pain pulls tight around his hearts.
As if no time at all has passed, there's the flattened circle of razorgrass spreading outward around the fallen bones of the beast.
And, just as he'd remembered, a dark hollow still yawns open beneath a massive dead tree, at the very edge of the deadly, glimmering field.
The only weapons he carries are those he has made here. A whip, coiled at his hip and studded with carefully-selected blades of razorgrass. A blade he'd fashioned from cast-off teeth of a kalisk – his kalisk.
When he steps into the darkness, the earth is cool; sloping steeply downward beneath his feet.
He does not know where he is going.
But Dek of the Yautja feels it.
Home.
(Or: A newly-Blooded Yautja finds the razorgrass dryad whose grove he inadvertently destroyed; chaos and feelings ensue.)

Summary
Your world – a quiet little farm within the bounds of the Commonwealth – had already been shaken years ago when you'd lost your home and family.
Becoming the platonic traveling companion of a rakish hedonist with a penchant for fashion, chems, and pleasure had spun it on its axis. More so when that hedonist set his sights on you.
Wandering halfway across the country into unknown territory – deep into the Mojave – in search of adventure and a change of setting?
How will that affect your world?
And what about the bounty hunter – the bounty hunter – when he suddenly finds he's not the only notable ghoul in town any longer, what then?
You've always yearned for something more; to see and do and feel more life than your previous world could offer you.
Perhaps now, you'll have that chance.

Summary
Companion.
Call girl.
Courtesan, for the well-to-do.
Actress, but only if things were going well. Or if it caught your fancy.
Escort.
Whore.
Whatever the label – you've worn them all – you have survived and (objectively) thrived in the wasteland; providing solace to those in need via the careful bartering of your body to them.
You quickly gain a bit of a reputation for developing an easy rapport with clients that most other workers would turn away; synths, for instance, or the occasional ghoul.
When the Ghoul crosses your path one morning, you'd never have imagined that you'd acquire your first long-term patron before the week was out.

Summary
The thirteenth Prime, weary of war and constant skirmishes that end in nothing but stalemates and losses for Cybertronians, 'bot and 'con alike, knows in his every core processor that the mantle of leadership is sterile and unavoidable.
Etched into his circuits.
He has long resigned himself to the solitude that his title insists upon; the careful, too-polite interactions with his team.
The loneliness.
Adrift aboard a rudderless ship, he is the captain.
Until one routine nighttime patrol brings him back to base with human blood on his hands.
Inspired by the spectacular Abyssal's The World's Translated Thus, and encouraged by the unparalleled RedSkittleQueen. ❤️

Summary
All Katya knows is what has been granted her; and as Caesar's personal bedslave, that's not much. She longs for something more; and when a bright, ruined new world is opened up to her, she sets out to find it.
Mordecai hasn't been a Praetorian long, but he's always been a war boy. One with a singularly keen eye and a heart meant for more than a brief, glorious half-life.
Remedy lived a genetically pure and sheltered life within the Enclave, but now she's found herself out amongst the rabble and learning what truly makes a person human.
Ace, an ex-NCR Ranger synth, has walked the Mojave longer than most people have been alive. And he still doesn't understand humanity.
And the bounty hunter? He's looking for something that he's not certain anyone has ever found. God save them all if he finds it.

Or simply serve as trophy to another master?

Summary
Working in a high-end cathouse just outside New Vegas has set you up with a regular supply of food, clean water, protection, and a life of relative ease.
But when your chief protection is a hired gun with a predilection for unpredictability, "relative ease" no longer applies.

Summary

After a job you both work comes to an end, though, he continues to show up at your fire after night falls.

Summary
As the music begins to fade and the last remnants of her voice still linger upon the air, two things happen simultaneously:
The crowd roars, pressing in around them both; hands reaching out to touch her, a hundred different voices crying out her name together.
And she's dropping into his lap with an easy, graceful familiarity, arms winding around his neck and those singularly green eyes swallowing him whole as she smiles up at him. She gently tilts up the brim of his hat with one finger so she can get a better look at him, and he is so busy being taken aback by her gentle boldness that her next words barely register.
But when they do, he knows what has happened. For the love of fuck, he thinks hazily, she's got me mixed up with the goddamn city boy, she thinks I paid for her, fuck if this ain't--
"I believe you were expecting me?"

Summary
You're a solitary desert nomad – most of the time.
But you've kept dangerous company for weeks now; the nameless bounty hunter known only as the Ghoul your reticent shadow.
When a traveling arrangement is initially borne of necessity, what happens when you both find necessity in short supply?
Also, it's Christmas. In a ruined world that barely recalls the pale echoes of what it once was. And it's snowing.

Summary
Sherlock Holmes likes to think he knows everything. Everything really *important*, anyway.
John Watson--and some rather interesting inkwork that lives beneath his collection of comfortable cable-knit jumpers--has the potential to change that assumption.
