Summary
On the outside, it is a beautiful campus. Elegant in its simplicity, with three brick buildings forming a crescent at the mouth of a long, rose-bush lined drive that intersects wrought iron gates. On the inside, what was once a testing grounds for training tools, drugs, or whatever other uses could be found for workers who were deemed unable to be placed, is now a temporary housing center for those same workers. Tasked with keeping the inhabitants alive and as comfortable as possible while the government figures out a real plan, Doctor Lincoln Prescott spends his days learning the true horrors of the system, while carving a safe-haven out of the very institution that previously housed unfathomable misery.

Summary
Notes: This is the darker, more violent, more graphic little sibling to The Fighter. A collection of stories prior to Luke buying Leo's contract.
Summary: [working summary]. The system had started as a way to curb crime in the mid 2030s. Prisoners had been given the option to join the contracted worker system (slavery – but no one dared call it that), and years would be taken off of their sentences. Power leads to corruption leads to more power leads to more corruption. Ten years in, coercion was readily used to force criminals into the system. Twenty years in, rights started being stripped. Now, within a 60 year old system that has expanded beyond anyone's control, a U.S. Senator finds himself holding the contract of the favorite worker of one of the most powerful men in the country. Tension rises amidst an upcoming vote to strip additional rights from workers, and legalize unspeakable crimes against humanity.
General Warnings: This is an adult-themed distant cousin of the BBU. Will contain references (graphic or non-graphic) to any mentioned triggers. Will unapologetically mention uncomfy topics. Will balance whump with political horror.
