The Black Sluggard

(Fic) Null Operators - [1/3]

Fri, 27 Oct 2017 10:54:03 GMT

Title: Null Operators
Fandom: Fallout 4
Rating: R
Genre: Science Fiction, Horror, Angst.
Warnings: Major character deaths (canon for Brotherhood ending), graphic violence, body horror.
Characters: Deacon, X6-88, Railroad characters.
Pairings: past Deacon/Barbara
Details: Gen, AU, fix it (sort of), vampires, supernatural elements, angst, horror, grief, survivor's guilt, revenge, unbetad.
Word Count: 3,264
Summary: Deacon told lies as naturally as most people breathed, and he kept secrets even from those a less paranoid man might arguably have called his friends. Many of those secrets he carried for the Railroad, but a few he kept for his own sake...
The greatest and strangest was this: Most people breathed. Deacon wasn't most people.
Notes: Inspired by a scene in "Remnants" by Maculategiraffe. Started out as crack, but the more I thought about it the more plausible it seemed. For a given value of "plausible", admittedly, but we're talking about a setting canon that includes psykers, talking deathclaws, aliens, ghosts, Ug-Qualtoth, Harold, the Garys, the Mist Mother, and whatever nonsense is going on at Cabot House (don't spoil it for me).

Meant to do another post sooner. Got distracted by stuff. Mostly good-ish stuff, I guess?

(Journal) Recent Events, Dreamwidth and Digital Spring Cleaning Hell

Sat, 13 May 2017 04:46:06 GMT

So, like many I've finally made the effort to migrate myself on over from LiveJournal. This is actually my first proper post to Dreamwidth directly, though I'll be crossposting onto LJ as well for the time being.

(For as long as I remember to, anyway...)

I've been going through the imported posts and cringing at the number of broken links I'm going to have to fix. I had all my formatting for fic posts and especially for the chapters of fics, and fixing it is just going to be a nightmare... At least my anal retentive tagging practices are going to make that easier than it might otherwise have been. Yay me.

I'm going to attempt to post regularly. Again. Maybe it'll stick this time. Who knows. Going to try to do it on at least a weekly basis. Even if there's nothing to write about. If I can't think of anything I'll just talk about my dog or spiders or something.

( Anyway. There are a few things that have gone on in the time since I last made a post of any substance. Some good, some bad, mostly scary in one sense or another. )
