Summary
There’s an old poem that rings in V’s ears.
"You do not have to be good.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves."
If only it was that simple.
Everyone she's ever loved dies or leaves. Her time is running short, and her priorities begin to blur.
Now, then, and way back when, V's turbulent relationships may be the only thing that can save her.(yes this is a rework of I Started a Joke talk nice to me)

Rust. What a fitting name for a man who seems so weathered. Too nervous still to put out her cigarette, Kenny holds it with slightly trembling fingers and lifts her sunglasses. While the action technically doesn't violate a specific rule, it sure as hell feels like it.

1995. Dora Lange is found murdered outside of Erath, Louisiana. This strange act of violence and obeisance brings together three wandering souls: Marty Hart, veteran detective of the Lafayette CID; Rust Cohle, new transfer from Texas who has more secrets than answers- for now; and Kennedy Marsden, a beat journalist who takes a little too much interest in death.

A/N: I'll be posting one-shots and Rustin x Readers as well, but I'd like to try a long form fic. Warnings that apply: canon typical everything, descriptions of psychosis and nondescript mental disorders, medication, alcoholism, etc etc. I promise Rust will get the love he deserves, though I do also think he gets it from Marty 🩷 -

Summary
Rowan doesn't know patience. She doesn't know forgiveness, she doesn't know peace. She knows risk, and she knows reward.
But getting shot in the head will fuck up a person's ideals.
An ex-legion slave who just wants to do her job, Rowan, also known as Courier Six, unwillingly finds herself at the crossroads of the bid for the Mojave Wasteland. It's a game she doesn't want to play, and as an infamous man once said, it was rigged from the start. -

Summary
"Spring, London. 1894.
Life is normal.
Yes, Sherlock occasionally “borrows” her shoes for inventions, and yes, Irene has a habit of making desired items “appear”, and yes, Monty is sometimes fonder of guests than he is his owners. However, this is routine for Anora. This is what she loves.
This is normal."
Two years after the events of "quam amiterre ludum (losing the game)", Anora finally feels as though she has a semi-normal life. That is until a serial killer wreaks havoc on London, and an imprisoned Professor offers his assistance. The one stipulation: he'll only speak to Anora.
Forced to choose between duty and safety, temporarily abandoned by Irene due to an inconveniently timed tragedy, and now entangled with the newly appointed Deputy Inspector, Anora must find a way to assist London's greatest detective in catching this new killer before they surpass even Professor Moriarty as London's greatest terrorist.
The game is afoot, and only honor and trust can see Anora and Sherlock through to the end.Series

Summary
After the alleged Galesburg Grabber got arrested, everyone wants to know everything about him—his house, his trophies, his mask—but nobody cares about the boys he left behind. Robin holds it together by burning bright. Finney does so by going dim. With the trial date closing in and the past clawing its way back to the surface, they’re forced to face what they’ve been avoiding: each other.
or; robin lives au but the grabber also lives and they have to testify in court but they’re traumatized and defense lawyers are assholes.

Summary
He wonders if she can still see color, or if her world faded back to black and white once he became… this. Course then again, he don’t really want to know. He ain’t sure which of the answers available would be worse.
“What's so funny?”
“Ain’t nothin’ funny no more, sweetheart.”
Other than soulmates. That shits fuckin’ hilarious. So damn funny he could just about shoot himself.
If Lucy’s world ain’t black and white already, that’d be sure to do it.
or
Cooper Howard had a soulmate before the war, but when the bombs fell she was ripped away from him along with everything else.
His dog, his daughter, his morality.
Two hundred years later they meet again in some backwater little bullshit town on opposite ends of an altercation. And she fucking shoots him.

Summary
"Wait a little longer, until you shall have my word, my rock, my church, and my gospel, that you may know of a surety my doctrine." - Doctrine and Covenants 11:16
Update: Six must now return to the Mojave to finish what she started and look her wrongs in the face. Separated from his helpmeet, Joshua must remain in Zion to see out his own ordinances. Will she overcome her transgressions and take steps to heal herself and the Mojave? Will Boone ever actually forgive her? Does she deserve it? And who is it that sits on Caesar's throne now?
--
Six has been many things: courier, trophy girlfriend, project, frumentarius, wife, Legion myth, scorned defector, murderer of the Mighty Caesar. When the once heralded Proserpina Caesaris comes face to face with the once venerated Malpais Legate, both are forced to look their sins in the eye and open their hearts to forgiveness in eachother.
--aka: im working out my ex-mormon trauma in this one and im applying mormon terminology so expect to hear a lot of 'heavenly father' while old mate graham tries his best to not react to religious-ferver inspired horny.
