Summary
Adjective
1. relieving or lessening pain; soothing
2. lacking zest, vigor, etc.; bland; insipidOn the wrong side of thirty and with war teetering on the horizon, Arcade Gannon has mostly given up on making friends and finding love. A contradictory mess of cynicism and idealism, Arcade just wants to help people. Courier Six seems to be his answer to properly helping the people of the Mojave Wasteland; an odd but charming delivery boy with his own set of problems, most of which stem from two bullet holes to the head.
POV Arcade during the events of Fallout: New Vegas. Explores the physical/mental effects of the Courier's brain injury, including seizures, headaches and retrograde memory loss. Very slow burn, lots of world-building and references to other games in the series (especially Fallout 2). Deals with mature themes present in the game/series overall, but chapters with heavy subject matter will be marked accordingly.
Gay people cannot just ask each other out, especially not in the Wasteland.

Summary
Arcade Gannon is, at his core, a very good, yet distrusting man.
Benny is, at his core, a very selfish, yet determined man.
The Mojave is on the precipice of change, and while neither of them can do much on their own, they find that putting their heads together might be enough to make a decent plan of action despite their differences. Though when ghosts of their pasts come back to haunt them, and feelings start to build, they come to realize that sometimes both plans and people can change. -

Summary
Six has held the cards for too long. Arcade and Boone crash into each other like comets.
//
Generally speaking, Arcade Gannon refuses to be astonished by bad omens and unpleasant news. If it can go wrong, it can go worse just as easily. So – his very own rule of thumb thoroughly etched into his mind – Arcade Gannon is firmly unsurprised that the bubble of his morning perfection bursts. Neither the abrupt nature of it, nor the thunderous crash of the door are particularly staggering either. Cause for the vague sense of disbelief, rather, is the man who ruins the serenity.

Summary
“Give it the meeting.” Arcade tries. Thinks about taking another sip of his Nuka Cola to wet the sandpaper of his mouth. “The others will follow your lead. They’ll have no problem fighting against the Legion, which is all that we need from them.”
Six looks like a man older than early forties when he looks at Arcade. There’s a weary slump to his mouth and such stark pity in his eyes that Arcade reels a little, softly, from the plainness of it. “Yes, they’ll follow my lead. Of that, I have absolutely no doubt. The Courier who killed Benny from the Tops, who killed Mr. House of the New Vegas Strip, Motor-Head of the Fiends, Vulpes Inculta of the Legion, and many more unlucky bastards who won’t get the recognition of a name. Yes, they’ll follow my command. And you knew it, too, when you introduced me. You knew that I’d have their respect as another decorated murderer of the Wasteland, efficient in the way I’ve consolidated power for myself in just the short span of a year since cheating death, if still, at the end of the day, a humble courier.”

Summary
A strange man, accompanied by an NCR soldier, appears out of the blue and takes an unusual interest in Arcade and his personal affairs.
This could only mean one thing: Arcade's finally been found out for his connections to the Enclave, and he's about to be dragged to his doom.

Summary
Arcade Gannon dreams, fantasizes - believes he is being made into taxidermy. His strangest fears, his deepest yearnings. It's much too difficult to distinguish them at times.
//
Six holds the calliper from the tip of Arcade’s nose to the inside corner of his eye. Oh, how easily Six could blind him. Smash the thing right through Arcade’s throbbing skull. Jam its metal prongs into his eyeballs at once. Oh, how awfully exciting that is. Here, in the haze of the fantasy, Arcade could very nearly swear that he wants that. Six in full control over his senses. Six deciding what to forever deprive him of.

Summary
“I guess I’d been hoping I’d find some road to walk together with you again instead.”
Arcade almost choked on his beer. He tried to play it off with something he hoped sounded playful but came out more like he was floundering, which was something he happened to be very good at.
“Well, flirtation did get you this far, didn’t it.”
As the Legion and the NCR are closing in on Hoover Dam, so, too, are Arcade and the courier closing in on each other.
And the past casts its long shadow over all of them. -

Summary
"Hit me," Red says, apropos of nothing.
Although, Arcade muses to himself after a second of reflection, Red's motives are usually too impulsive and insane for Arcade to understand anyway.
"Why?"
"Because I want to see something," Red says. "So hit me."
"I'm not going to hit you, Red."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm-" Arcade cuts himself off. The word busy dies on his tongue. Red wouldn't buy it - they'd cornered him in a shady section of the fort, taking an over long break and debating the wisdom of having a smoke, free from under the eye of doctors who might tell him that he knows better. Like a specter, Red had appeared to alleviate his boredom. Or enable bad decisions. With Red, one never knew. "Because," Arcade finishes lamely.
Red grins, because it's a shitty excuse, and they both know it. "I know you're hidin' some muscle under that ratty old lab coat." One finger prods at Arcade's chest. He resists the urge to slap it away. "So use it."
"Usually if I hit someone, they've done something to deserve it," Arcade says.
Red's ever present smirk broadens. "Haven't I?"
Grudgingly, Arcade mutters, "Not lately."

Summary
Arcade Gannon has been sold to Caesar. A simple thing, the betrayal of a lover. A nasty thing, the workings of the Legion. Sometimes comfort comes in the shape of a crucified man of dishonour. Sometimes there is no comfort at all.
//
Safe and sound, murderers walk the charred earth. Fancy themselves Gods, wash their humanity off when they pass the Colorado. Courier Six – Cassius as he calls himself here – is one of them.
Arcade tries to banish the memory of a man who could’ve been more than an instrument of Caesar’s iron fist. Should’ve. Would’ve, maybe, if things had been different. Neither stupid nor cunning, neither bloodthirsty nor hopeless enough. Just a coward in the flesh. Hollow, yes, empty. Only space for himself in the ashen remnants of Cassius’ heart.

Summary
В четвёртый раз пробуждение Аркейда произошло под наблюдением робоглаза Анклава, парящего над ним.
Быть схваченным легионерами и приговорённым к смертной казни — не совсем соответствует представлениям Аркейда о приятном времяпрепровождении. Тем не менее он не совсем уверен, стоит ли быть благодарным за спасение странному жителю пустошей, который может быть, а может и не быть шпионом Легиона (и если уж на то пошло, может быть, а может и не быть окончательно безумным).

I'm so gay for Arcade Gannon... so gay...
Work in progress, I'm not sure how long it will take as I'm not a writer and inspiration is few and far between.
