Summary
“I’m a certified professional from the most prestigious university in the country. If you cannot trust me, you cannot trust anyone,” Daniil states.
“You’re a murderer,” I counter.
“And you aren’t?” He argues.A year following the Outbreak of the Sand Pest, the Town on Gorkhon is a wounded place. Each remaining citizen struggles to reclaim identity and safety. Among them is Artemy Burakh, the new Menkhu. Once shamed, he has become something of a hero for eradicating the Plague through the destruction of the Polyhedron. Despite his vastly improved reputation, he strives only to care for his two adopted children. Conversely, Daniil Dankovsky has become stranded. Unable to return to the Capital which seeks to prosecute him, he remains in the Town on Gorkhon and tries to drink away his sorrows. Necessity brings the two men together, but will fate drive them into something deeper?

Summary
He keeps the Ashes.
It’s not a lot, maybe a thimbleful gathered into one of those tiny bottles picked up on a whim in a new-age Wicca shop.
Jon couldn't just throw them away. He tells himself it's just until he finds the right final resting place, but so far, nothing seems to fit.
At first, Jon keeps the bottle in the front pocket of his work shirt. When it’s clear he has no intention of ever letting him go, he wraps a leather cord securely around it and wears it tucked under his shirt where it wouldn't be noticed.
Gerry rests against his heart. It brings him some comfort. He thinks they could have been friends, given better- or even just differently worse circumstances.

Summary
“Is something wrong?”
“No, it’s fine.” Oswald moves to copy Ed, but it’s a little less… desperately unthinking. “I just forgot.”
“... You forgot about sex?”
Oswald is asexual, and Ed's not sure what that means for them. For once, they talk things out, which ends very well for both of them.

Summary
A glint of confusion flashes in your gaze. But it’s been so so long and Desire cannot help the soft smile that graces their face.
Of course you don’t understand, it doesn’t make sense at all, even to them! It’s impossible, and yet…Their brows twitch in an attempt to explain. But how does one explain so much.
Impatience and a dash of anger lingers in your voice when you speak again.

Summary
Desire stands still, too still, at the edge of her twin's realm. Looking down at the orb that mimics Earth's world.
They stood still, slick with gold, perfect as ever. But trembling at the edges.
"I feel your echoes in my realm." Despair pauses. "It's the first time. And it is... terrifying."
Silence flooded the room.
"Desire doesn't last here. Only what's left of it." Despair takes a step closer to Desire's bubble, careful and cautious. "Whatever you're feeling, it wasn't meant to survive long enough to reach me."
"It's not grief." Desire chuckles, trying to keep their composure, a wall raising. Avoidance.
"Not yet." Despair responds.

Summary
Despite all of the blood and grime, Arcade found he didn’t mind the time spent with the courier--or ex-’courier’, as it currently stood. Whatever the man’s state of profession, travel with him was never short of adventure; or humor, or knowledge, or hundreds of other things Arcade had half-forgotten inside the walls of the Mormon Fort.
Or
Arcade catches himself falling for the courier, swears not to, and immediately jacks off about it.

Summary
Constantine smiles his hesitant little half-smile, and Arcade can’t stop himself.
Without thinking he blurts, “Please don’t sleep with Benny.”
Tan blinks. “What?” he croaks. He leans back a little, raising a confused brow. “Is…that what this was all about?”
__
The Courier has finally made it to the Lucky 38, after much hemming and hawing. Now that he's finally made it, after months on the road with his friends, there's only one thing left to do: confront the inevitable. The idea of it makes Arcade more anxious than he cares to admit.

Summary
The courier was a good man, inoffensive, who limped and shuffled from town to town, drawing letters or packages out of his long pockets, bringing well-wishes and gifts, news and postcards. He shook hands, kissed babies, and told wild stories about places he'd been to. It was easy to travel with him, an easy pace, sleeping under the stars or eating hot plates on kindly strangers' porches. He always said softly he didn't want trouble. He never wanted any trouble. At first they all figured him for a kindly older gentleman, some poor cripple who might have been a veteran.
But when the gang recovers two stealth devices from the nightkin, the courier cooks up one wild scheme after another to rescue NCR soldiers and bring justice to Vegas fiends. What started as running deliveries soon spirals into bounty hunting, with a mix of superior technology and ideas crazy enough to work. Boone goes from the bodyguard of a rag-tag wandering outfit to a wasteland enforcer, losing his grip on reality under the influence of the Stealth Boy, and troubled by nightmares of the dead, the courier must confront at last the secrets of his past.

Summary
The fourth time Arcade woke, it was to the sight of an Enclave Eyebot staring down at him.
Being captured by Legionaries and sentenced to death isn't exactly Arcade's idea of a good time. All the same, he's not quite sure whether to be grateful when he's rescued by a strange wastelander who may or may not be a Legion spy (and, for that matter, may or may not be completely insane).

Summary
"The idea of Daniil leaving Town-on-Ghorkon made his heart lurch, for reasons he’s sure he’d be able to place if the sun were up. For now, he revelled in the feeling of the doctor’s remarkably smooth skin under his own calloused fingertips, the warmth of the fire returning a soft pink to his flesh."
Artemy wants Daniil to stay, so he convinces him.

Summary
“Well, I need to go to sleep soon.” He explains, adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, “I like to go to bed by ten every night. It’s kind of a routine of mine.” he adds with an awkward chuckle.
“Go to sleep then. I’m not stopping you.” Oswald rolls his eyes.
Or; Five times Oswald and Edward sleep next to each other, and the one time they can’t fall asleep, and take the literal meaning of sleeping together seriously.

Summary
“He was born. He was pointless. And he should’ve died.”
Michael Shelley knows very little. The main points of his knowledge can be summarised as follows:
One: He is, as far as he knows, still Michael–although this is dubious, and perhaps does not count.
Two: The world that he lives in is not what he thought it was. It never has been, and it never will be again.
Three: He cannot, in any circumstances from now until the end of days, trust Gertrude Robinson.An AU in which the Great Twisting crumbled before Michael could be consumed by The Distortion–and he emerges, alive and angry about it. Alternatively, an AU in which Gertrude begins to work on her theories about the rituals much, much earlier, and Gerry finds himself chasing the mystery that is Michael Shelley.
