    Summary

    “I met a dental hygienist that was wearing a dog collar when we first got here, we danced and then he gave me a mint from a little baggy. It made sense that he’d carry those around, but then…” He just shrugs.
    “Oh, Birdie,” He laughs, but it’s desperate, like a cry for help from the bottom of a well. “Was it - minty?” His voice sounds three octaves too high.
    “I couldn’t tell. It’s so loud in here.”

    ---

    Matt and Jay plan to enthrall the Rivoli’s new booking agent at a gay club. Jay accidentally takes ecstasy thinking it's a breath mint, and Matt is subjected to torments previously unique to the trenches of WWI. It's going to be a long, long night.

    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.
