Summary
A Khan’s death shroud. But rather than the white linen of the Followers, the Khans laid him to rest with his weapons. Shrouding the dead was something Luke had done many times at the Fort. It was a four-man job. To clean and dress the body. Luke imagined Jessup and McMurphy tucking a bottlecap into his cold palm, wrapping dead fingers around a knife that wasn't theirs. Kneeling to button his coat, like one might with a child on a cold night. He should have found it morbid. The thought of accomplices to his murder playing with his corpse like a doll after his death should have been grotesque. But he couldn’t help but feel cared for. Just the same for all the patients he had wrapped in white linen.
The courier gig was supposed to be a break from the stress of emergency medicine. Luke Thorn is a man of science and healing, a man who knows the cold grip of death.

Summary
Other than the horrible feeling inside his skull, Manny Vargas felt… good. Better than he had done in weeks. His cheeks were sore from laughing, his throat ached from talking, but his heart soared. The warm feeling in his chest was more than just alcohol. It was nostalgic, being back with the Khans. Their songs were just the same as Manny remembered. All cheering and dancing and swinging eachother around. Not even the man in the checkered suit sitting sourly in the corner could dispel the feeling of joy in that room.
I wrote ANOTHER Manny Vargas fic this time featuring Benny :) this takes place during the main story of FNV when the Khans and Benny stay at Manny's place in Novac

Summary
“That’s a shame,” Arcade hesitated, eyeing Manny’s reaction out of the corner of his vision, “I was actually looking forward to hearing you talk some more.”
If Arcade wasn't mistaken, it seemed that Mister Vargas was eyeing him in the exact same regard. Watching. Waiting. Ah, the game. How Arcade loathed it. But he loved it too. The little dance men like them had to play just to spend a night together. Assuming that Manny was a man like him, of course. Which, if he was reading everything right, he should be. That, or they were both about to be very unlucky. Arcade smiled. Manny smiled back. All good signs.
‘Don’t fall in love, stupid’ said the voice in his head.
Arcade finds a likeminded resident of Novac while visiting his "aunt" Daisy

**AS OF 2023 THIS FIC IS CONSIDERED CANCELLED AND WILL BE REWRITTEN AS PER THE REBOOT FOR MY OC**
"But it wasn't always families who found Vegas. Raiders found it too--like they always did.
They’d carved the city up between them, warring at pretend borders that seemed to shift every other day. In all the years Manny had been alive, he’d lost count of the number raider gangs that’d held the portion of Vegas he called home."
Manny Vargas grew up in Vegas. Sasha grew up a Khan. When the Khans come to Vegas, they soon find out they're not so different at all.
Pre Fallout New Vegas canon. Set between 2267 and 2274. I'm fascinated by the Great Khans and their lore, and the tiny tibbits we get about them ruling Vegas 14 years prior to the games canon inspired me.

It takes a certain kind of strategy to rile Stoick up in a manner that leads to something other than shouting and bloodshed, but practice makes perfect.
