Summary
I was never supposed to be the protagonist. Never supposed to decide the fate of the entire Mojave. Hell, I wasn't even the Courier. And yet I'm the one who woke up in a world that wasn't my own with a face that wasn't mine.
Now all I want to do is pet some dogs, help some people, and explore a world I've only ever seen through the other side of a screen. But my half-sister left behind more secrets than answers and only some of the ghosts of the Wasteland are figurative.
SI/OC. Slow pace, slow to update. I tag characters as they appear.

Summary
The entire time Hayden has known him, and known of him, he has been Ilya Rozanov; violent player and serial womanizer. The media was saying those things about a child, and no one had given a shit, because Ilya had never spoken up for himself. He’d never protested their unfounded claims, and he never tried to prove them wrong, either.
Which, now that Hayden knows the things he does, makes perfect fucking sense.
or
Hayden finds himself unlearning everything he thought he knew about Ilya Rozanov

Summary
“I am out for the season?”
“Probably."
“Are you by any chance looking for a trophy husband?”
“Ilya.”
“Yes? No?”
“It’s one season, Ilya, we’re not—it’s bad because you’re hurting, not because—I’m not letting this fuck anything up for us, okay? We’ll figure something out,” Shane says, resolutely.
or, you know what they say about the best laid plans
ilya’s first year in ottawa looks a little different than originally planned, maybe sort of because he ends up spending it recovering a broken leg in his boyfriend’s apartment, but probably mostly because he meets jackie pike

Summary
From what I understand, the human brain is basically an electrical meatball. A very sophisticated meatball, to be sure, but still – organic.
That organic human neural tissue – unless very carefully cultivated under very specific laboratory parameters – doesn’t always play nicely with the non-organic bits. And even then, see example: me.
That wasn’t even including the fact that Gurathin had received his augments in the Corporation Rim and company equipment – see again: me – wasn’t exactly premium quality.
UPDATE 10/20/25: minor edits to chapter two
