(Fic) Null Operators - [1/3]

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).
