Summary
Before the endless night of the hunt, there was the Healing Church. Before the Healing Church, there was Byrgenwerth and a group of scholars who sought to elevate humanity beyond its own design.
This is a recollection of the time before—before Yharnam became less of a city and more of a tomb, before scholars and clergy grew horns and sharp teeth, and before the blood moon descended.
This is a story of brilliant minds, crippling devotion, and the slow, irreversible collapse of a community from within, leaving nothing behind but blood and beasts.

Summary
After escaping your Vault's horrible experiment and being thrown into what's left of the rotted world, you decided running on blind fury is easier to stomach. Your Ghoul traveling companion has similar sentiments about rage and vengeance.
Together, you and Cooper Howard trek into the Wasteland for answers not knowing what you'll encounter along the way. And not knowing you might start to find more in common as you both tug on each other's fraying threads.
EDIT: I will be dropping more one shot blurbs of these two and their lil adventures as they come. I'll just post them here for y'all as I go so it's together and it'll be casual as I get ideas but it's not exactly a long fic/series! Just a snapshot collection! EDIT: I guess it's a long series now, whoops.

Summary
“I just wish…”
“What do you wish?”
“I wish I could have changed it all.”
For years Bilbo has written about his adventures and told stories about his dealings with dwarves and dragons. To most it seemed like fanciful nonsense but to Bilbo it was all very real. A weight followed him home from his travels, one called regret. Now in his final moments Bilbo has a choice to make – go quietly into death’s embrace or go back again and face all the fear and pain for the chance to make things right?
Of course, change is a fickle thing and not everything can be done again as Bilbo is about to find out. In the end, it may not only be salvation that he’s fighting for.

Summary
“Valentine,” he says, mind racing as he tries to place this young man and the mental Rolodex ultimately comes up blank. “Nick Valentine. I own the detective agency behind the marketplace.” He pauses and offers an apologetic quirk of his brows as well as his hand. “Not a good first impression for someone in my line of work, I know, but I haven’t the foggiest who you are either.”
The kid smiles back at him, the expression seeming more common on his face than not, and slots his hand in against Nick’s. It’s warm and firm in his own and he waits for Nick to let go first after the shake. “John. McDonough, if we’re gettin’ all formal here.”
