Outrun the Night

Summary:

Set in the town of Presper, Montana, Joshua Graham believes he's outwitted his troubled past and violent job history quite effectively, thank you very much. He meets a person who prompts him to reconsider his forced emotional isolation. As they delve into his identity, he faces the choice of accepting his true self or rejecting it. Our past has a way of catching up with us - will he return to his ways, or has he mended them for good?

Chapter 1: DISCLAIMER

Chapter Text

DISCLAIMER

I wanted to preface this story by stating that there are some sensitive and potentially triggering topics consisting of, but not limited to: graphic torture, violence, abduction, trafficking, assault, drugs and drug use. In short, this is not fiction for people under the age of 18. If any of these topics are upsetting or triggering for you, please do not interact with this work. By clicking ‘next chapter’ at the bottom of this you are acknowledging that you have read this disclaimer and consent to the following material. 

As an aside, this is a wholly self indulgent project. I saw some art by a tumblr user named ‘misterramen’ and it sparked this whole story. This is not the usual Fallout fanfic and I certainly am not using all the characters represented in Fallout New Vegas. I’m going to try and keep the main beats of the story. There are some themes that are depicted in this that are very personal to my own life and I ask, despite those themes being darker in nature, that they be respected for what they are. 

Finally I ask from the bottom of my heart, even though I both love seeing your commentary and knowing your thoughts, I ask that people please not leave commentary which speculates on the trajectory of the story. By all means you are more than welcome to leave commentary, whether that be negative or positive, so long as it is civil in nature and I look forward to seeing said commentary! That said, I do invite you to find the various Fallout lore easter eggs sprinkled throughout this tale. I would really love to see if someone finds all of them! (Hint: they’re all snuggled into the fictional world in various ways that I hope you find amusing and cute)

Thank you for understanding, and as always, thank you for reading.
