   Summary

   Set in 1999-2000, Murdoc Niccals has taken full advantage of the benefits of the technological advances of the modern age, and has ordered himself a child bride from a corrupt mad scientist arms dealer from Osaka.
   2D is naive, and believes they can rehabilitate the girl and shield her from Murdoc, but Russel knows exactly what kind of person Murdoc really is.

   This fic contains graphic depictions of violence, grooming, child abuse, child sexual abuse, underage sex, and human trafficking. Consider this your warning: Dead Dove, Do Not Eat.

   This fic is both canon compliant and time period accurate, with a lot of love and research. This fic is part of the Sour Switchblade series, the fan-universe that my work exists in. To understand some references contained herein, I recommend reading the 'prelude' fic, Sugar On My Tongue.

   Each chapter corresponds to a song title. The playlist of the fic will be indexed in the notes at the end of the fic.
