Throwing up some 'sketch page' style noodling in the absence of any completed fics of late - a couple of incomplete drabblets featuring my Fallout: New Vegas characters and their borrowed best beaus. One of FNV's strengths is the complex web of power and politics it builds around the Mojave, and it's always interesting to dip into different characters' takes on the factions and their personal histories with them and the region.

Larkin & Vivian (

( under the boot )

Avery & Wyn (

( two mojaves )

Title: Better Company
Rating: PG
Series: The Feasting Years
Wordcount: 924
Summary: Fisher and NM, on the run.
Remarks: Set a couple of months after LNMOP.

( apotheosis lay belly-down on the pavement )

Title: Blood and Water
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout 3 (Madison Li, Lone Wanderer, past Madison/Catherine/James)
Wordcount: 1,032
Summary: "If you're my mom," says James' daughter, "you can tell me."
Remarks: I only made it as far as having one conversation with Madison Li, but boy, does that one conversation raise some eyebrows. How exactly did you know the LW's parents again, Mads? I ran out of sufficient oomph to bring it to a cosy conclusion, but I like what I did write.

( an ignorant assertion in the dark )

Title: Time After Time
Rating: M
Series: The Feasting Years
Wordcount: 1,040
Summary: The Brighthounds' vigilante war against the anti-saint movement goes badly.
Remarks: u.u

( like a neanderthal with a rock, down in the dirt )

Title: Saturday Night Fever
Rating: PG
Series: The Feasting Years
Wordcount: 1,227
Summary: In the Brighthounds' little sharehouse, Arthur's down with the sickness. This has some odd side effects.
Remarks: Decided to store the fic bits (a few complete, most in pieces) I wrote when qx and I were mucking around in the 'feasting years' setting, which was mostly deeply self-indulgent nonsense featuring superpowers, angry gods, benthic cults, inadvisable experiments, and an awful lot of people who can't be trusted to make responsible decisions.

( ruben emerged from the bedroom with a cloudy sigh )

Title: Forget-Me-Not

Rating: PG

Series: The Feasting Years

Wordcount: 1,216

Summary: It's up to Andrew to keep the lights on.

Remarks: A speculative backstory bit for an old character in an updated setting.

( the townhouse was a blotch of shadow )

Title: Blow the Man Down
Rating: PG
Series: A House of Many Doors (Char Dvestistek)
Wordcount: 463
Remarks: I've been trying the old writer's block remedy of just writing any old thing until it clears and... mostly not succeeding. Still, I didn't mind this patch of scribble. Mild spoiler for Char's questline.

( char's an alchemist, kinda sorta mostly )

Title: The Stranding
Rating: G
Series: Books of the Raksura (original characters)
Wordcount: 1406
Summary: Ivory Smoke hunters make an unusual find in the suspended forest, and Fortune's clutch gets involved.
Remarks: WIP, but tossing what I have up here for the others since it may be a while before I have a chance to finish. More Ivory Smoke whatnot.

( token caught mellow on the winding stairs )

Title: Night Walking
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout New Vegas AU (original characters)
Wordcount: 1156
Summary: Modern high school AU, mostly because Why Bloody Not. The working title was 'useless lesbians'.
Remarks: This is ju-u-ust shy of completion, but it might as well be stored here in the meantime. Vivian is Kris' in perpetuity, and Ryker is Gray's.

( her phone buzzes sharply, three times )

Title: Rest Uneasy
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout: New Vegas (original characters)
Wordcount:
Summary: Avery's sometimes not okay. There used to be people who noticed.
Remarks: An attempt to capture some of Avery's history. (The surprise was puppies.)

( the tent flaps were pinned back )

Title: Mad Cow (Incomplete)
Rating: G
Series: Fallout: New Vegas (original characters)
Wordcount: 595
Summary: It was said a charging brahmin bull could hit seventeen miles an hour at full stride. By Larkin’s estimation, that rumour came in a few miles short of the truth.
Remarks: Silly misadventures - technically a pre-adventure to All's Unfair. The other characters referenced belong to friends.

( don't mess with cows )

Title: The Spare
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout New Vegas ('courier faction' original characters)
Wordcount: 1128
Remarks: This was mostly an exercise in getting a handle on a new character (back in '14), for which I borrowed Wyn and Bryn from other members of the writing group. First impressions are so important.

( one more figure in drab army fatigues )

Title: Trousers On
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout: New Vegas (original characters)
Wordcount: 659
Summary: Avery's trying to get through his morning routine. Wyn has a different idea of what that routine could entail.
Remarks: Wyn belongs to

weirderwest.

( the piercing wolf whistle )

Title: Persuasion
Rating: PG
Series: Fallout: New Vegas (Larkin, Avery)
Wordcount: 220
Summary: Larkin asks for a favour.
Remarks: A short scene spawned from the simple premise of "hm, I wonder how these two characters would get on" (the answer is 'badly').

( they're not known for their patience, geckos )

Title: Target Practice
Rating: G
Series: Supernatural / According to Plan
Wordcount: 760
Summary: Nigel isn't thrilled about the new recruit.
Remarks: Part of a Supernatural AU; incomplete, but I like what exists. Andrew/Jester is mine, Nigel/Secateur and Jamie/Guilt are Quixote's.

( the crack of the rifle )

Title: The Traveller
Rating: G
Series: His Dark Materials / According to Plan
Wordcount: 1563
Warnings: Totally lacking in accurate knowledge of American colonial history?
Summary: In which Andrew is a perpetual hitchhiker.
Remarks: I recently re-read - in fact just finished re-reading as of this morning - Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, and it gave me a bee in my bonnet that ended with me turning to my favourite cast of characters for gratuitous crossovers. Not quite completed, but not likely to get any more so. Andrew/Jester is mine; Nigel/Secateur is Quixote's. The dæmons are a kittiwake and an addax.

( the most welcome sight )
